General Grievous and his flunkies Star Wars Legion

Last night I finished assembling 4 light saber Grievous and let me tell you it was not easy. His legs sucked and so did his arms and the instructions are very vague. 

I also assembled some B2 Super Battle Droids since they were super easy and did not have many parts to put together. Now I have to move on to the regular troops.

You can view some older assembly streams of Kingdom Death Monster on my You Tube page if you want to see how I assemble things but that is not Star Wars related

GMT Games has a hidden Vietnam 1965-1975 P500 page

Well well this is interesting...a complete rework of the original master. Can't add it to my cart YET, as I think the page is not live or it is crashing the site.

From the site:  https://www.gmtgames.com/p-911-vietnam-1965-1975-gmt-edition.aspx

"For many of you, as for us, the mere existence of this announcement is a dream come true. That we get to work on it is just icing on the cake.

Vietnam 1965-1975 has always represented the quintessential grand operational Vietnam game for us. The systems all work together beautifully to evoke the feel of the war whether playing the focused scenarios or the sweeping breadth of the campaign games. To that end, let us tell you what to expect with this reprint edition.

But first, we want to let you know what this reprint is not: it is, most emphatically, not a reimagining of the game. There will be no major rule changes. No chrome will be added. Although we are well aware that the available historical record on Vietnam is vastly expanded since the original publication, the game has always been an abstraction of the conflict as opposed to a meticulously exact reproduction of every fact. The intent with this edition is to clarify where needed and change only if necessary.

With that said, let's get on to the good stuff! The primary goals are to bring the components up to a modern standard and to clean up any ambiguity in the rules. This will be done using both the collected wisdom of the community as well as Nick's input through close consultation as to his original intent on some of the thornier questions."  #GMTGAMES




The ultimate corporate game scam Anthem has its development stopped

As seen here

https://blog.bioware.com/2021/02/24/anthem-update/

one of the biggest gaming scams of recent times (right up there with all the idiots that pre ordered Cyberpunk 2077) is finally being stopped by its own development team. The only thing disappointing is the way they ripped off consumers and got away with it. Need more? How about this great Kotaku article:  https://kotaku.com/how-biowares-anthem-went-wrong-1833731964

"I know this will be disappointing to the community of Anthem players who have been excited to see the improvements we’ve been working on. It’s also disappointing for the team who were doing brilliant work. And for me personally, Anthem is what brought me to BioWare, and the last two years have been some of the most challenging and rewarding experiences of my career.

Game development is hard. Decisions like these are not easy. Moving forward, we need to laser focus our efforts as a studio and strengthen the next Dragon Age, and Mass Effect titles while continuing to provide quality updates to Star Wars: The Old Republic."

While this blog is not 100% Legion based, it is what I am into at the moment and so it is nice to see new news coming out.

Most of the leaks are posted on the Legion Holonet blog so you can read them here

Legion building continues

Not much to report on the miniature front so far, just a little building and still gathering paint and supplies from Ebay and the stores. I like to have everything I need to fight at least one battle before even attempting to play the game and I am still thinking of doing tutorials for the game in bite sized chunks on my YouTube channel.

Let Star Wars Legion begin!

I have sold my Imperial Assault collection to kick start my Legion collection. What have I done? Not like I don't have a zillion other games to play right now. 

I got 2 core sets of the Clone Wars and no I do not plan on mixing my eras together that is just stupid. I plan to focus on Clone Wars battles but do expect to be able to use Palpatine and wookies since they were in the prequels and Clone Wars TV Show.

I also snagged Dooku and Anakin to be alternative commanders. Got a nice playmat some paint and some other random battlefield add ons coming as well.

There is a solo system I plan to use here: http://www.crabbok.com/custom-content/legion-ai-system/
