Another reason I don’t go back into Star Wars Legion?
Required play area is 6 feet x 3 feet. I don’t have that kind of room anymore, as an apartment dweller.

Star Wars
… Nothing but Star Wars, Give me those Star Wars, Dont let them end. Oh Star Wars, If they should bar wars, Please let these Star Wars Stay.
I gotta say, I am a sucker for most Star Wars tabletop games.
I got into X-Wing, Armada and Imperial Assault, al of which have been discontinued.
And now I hear that Star Wars Shatterpoint is the next in line to go that way.
To be fair, I did like the look of the Shatterpoint miniatures more than Star Wars Legion, and I believe I only bought a couple of expansions (Clone Wars Era) before shelving that game in storage.
For Legion, on the other hand, I bought more than a few extra squad boxes for both the Rebellion and the Empire. And then the main game went into storage, while the miniatures found their way to my apartment.
I have a couple of miniature agnostic games that allow me to use them, A Fistful of Lead: Galactic Heroes Edition and Five Parsecs from Home.
It does make me wonder if I should get a new Starter Set for Legion, since it appears that they pivoted toward Shatterpoint for a while and left Legion to flounder and then shifting back to Legion, but looking at the contents of the Rebellion Starter Set, I have pretty much all the miniatures it includes except for the Wookiees.
Now if they came out with a Scum and Villainy Starter set…
Legion Update
Or: what other miniatures did Chris buy?
Reading the rules, it looks like I need 3 units per side, minimum. Since I got the Rebel Commandos, I decided to get another Imperial unit.
Always loved the look of these guys since Rogue One.
I also decided that I wanted commanders other than Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker, so…
Along with a commander, these expansions come with communications, medics, and vehicle repair units.
Then the ‘character’ bug got me, since I already had Boba Fett, so I got another commander:
And if you have Han you gotta have Chewie…
And then I found one of my other all time favorite Star Wars characters, even though a unit card doesn’t exist for him:
One of these days I may finish painting these minis, and then set up a scenario.
Star Wars Legion
Yeah, didn’t think I’d ever jump into this one either. But I like to paint miniatures, and these have some nice models in the core box.
I don’t intend to get a lot of expansions, the only ones so far are Boba Fett and Rebel Commandos, the former for obvious reasons, the latter because I like the idea of playing with a Rebel Commando strike team.
And apparently I already have a piece of terrain that was designed for this game, the Hunter’s Ship.
Along with .STL files for a landing bay, like on Tatooine.
Maybe I can have a sabotage mission to destroy a prototype TIE fighter…
But yeah, we’ll see if I get around to playing, like I haven’t yet with so many other games.
Stand by!
