Let me start by saying that this was my first LVO. I have heard how much fun it is for years at this point and I am delighted I could make it! Getting to see many friends and playing Legion with them is always awesome. Thank you to LJ, Nema,

Cue the Training Montage!

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... I wrote a similar article about prepping for an Armada tournament. I was confident in my list and my prep work. I had a list that I had nailed down months before and had a winning record with! I was

Where have I been?

Well, maybe this is a surprise to some (or maybe you haven't noticed it), but I have been on a bit of an article-writing sabbatical. I assure you, this has nothing (well, almost nothing) to do with any of these game systems. For those who don't

Ministravaganza Reveals!

What a weekend for all of these games! Not only did Legion get another edition, but we were shown quite the pipeline for future release too! We have seen releases all the way out to early 2026, which is not only exciting but also comforting. Let's look at

Star Wars Legion Revamp!

Woah! Star Wars Legion has changed! AMG did not call this a new edition, but it absolutely is. You are not required to buy anything in order to play this new edition, so I get why they were hesitant to call it that. The majority of your old stuff is

Adepticon 2024 Reveals Reactions!

What a weekend! Adepticon feels like Christmas comes early every year. I, unfortunately, was unable to attend this time around, but that did not stop me from watching as many streams as I could over the weekend. There was a ton of content to consume and I did my best

I Don't Need Any Surprises - Cassian Andor Unit Guide

Cassian Andor is one of the best Rebel Commanders in the current Meta, but he has always been quite good. He is extremely versatile and supports a wide range of varying list styles and archetypes. He has seen some very high placement in recent tournaments and will likely continue to

Rules of Engagement - Tactics Talk pt.2

Following the first part in this series, Tempo Tempo Tempo, I have a few other general thoughts on how to stay focused and in control. Legion can be quite complicated and overwhelming at times, especially if you're on game five or six in a single weekend. There are

Tempo, Tempo, Tempo. - Tactics Talk pt.1

In a traditional strategic or tactical sense, Tempo is the speed and intensity of our actions relative to the speed and intensity of unfolding events in the operational environment. Tempo can be measured for individual armies and players or the overall tempo of the table. Gaining the momentum to maintain

Pizza Time! - FD Cannon Unit Guide

The 1.4 FD Laser Cannon Team (that's a mouthful) is a unit that goes back and forth between favorability within the community. As with everything, there are a few die-hard fans who will always bring them and a few haters who will never bring them. The rest

A Case for Din Djarin (and Grogu)

The Legion Discord's #rebel-chat has been popping off with Din talk lately. If you've been a part of those conversations then you already know a lot of what I'm going to say here. If not, I hope I can change your mind or at

To Snipe, or Not to Snipe?

In the last 6 or so months, almost every list I've made whether Rebel or Republic, has included Snipers. I find both Rebel Commandos and ARC Troopers to be some of the coolest, most fun, and best units in the game. It's been making me think

New Season: New Stuff!

Adepticon 2023 is now over! What a fantastic show everyone put on, I wish I could've seen it in person. Along with the unbelievably entertaining Legion Championship, AMG also had a phenomenal panel. They announced a massive amount of new stuff for MCP, X-Wing, Armada, and Legion. I

Cherokee Open 2023 After Action Report

Cherokee Open 2023 was my first large Legion tournament and holy hell did I have a good time! I am definitely going next year. It's an easy drive for us, only about 2 hours from Knoxville. The venue was also great, the large convention hall area was excellent
