I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of wallets suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

Been watching some videos on this. Looks like FFG have kept the same level of simplicity their games tend to have, whilst creating another fun game system. Looking forward to this.

Team Covenant video had a two turn play through with the lead designer. They covered army building and Alex mentioned AT-ST and Snow Speeder whilst discussing the Heavy slot.

If anyone else is interested, nice long 30 min vid here from 2 days ago at GenCon

You get slightly more info from the Team Covenant video (however it is twice as long, for not much more detail,) although having seen both, the mechanics coverage from General Games is just as solid. Their interview with Alex did have some good pieces in it too, if you watch that.

A few of you have probably seen these, but lots of new expansions have been announced ahead of the game release early next year...

Somewhat surprised that there was no alternative commanders in the first wave, rather than reprints of box contents (plus the previously announced AT-ST and T-47.) It is now however a decision as to buying to core sets or a core plus reprints.

Core set arrived today

Big Orbit haven’t had theirs in a day after everyone else. I’m hoping they get it in for Friday.
