They specifically said they couldn’t open the cards, but the size of the cards will be tarot and 4×6″. So, you can go ahead and get those sleeves ready, as they are the same size as the MCP character cards. This is an excellent move, as you can score Queen Amidala, Sabe, and her Handmaidens! They mention they will have a ton of firepower and look like really fun minis to paint. Now, let’s go a little further into the future. Looking Further into the Future Ahsoka Tano, Jedi No More is a fast-moving defensive powerhouse who is ready to prove to all- comers that you don’t have to look tough to be tough. Providing a solid 8 squad points, players will find they have a lot of flexibility in Unit choice while building out her squad. They actually said this was the first model they sculpted for the game, so hopefully, that means we will see the model very soon! With their low point cost, the card is actually pretty good. You can take a bunch of them, and they have pretty consistent damage and should be tactically fun. Bo-Katan Kryze & Mandalorians Rules: (April 18th 2023)

We wanted to take all the great things about Star Wars—the action, the adventure, and the iconic characters—to create a Star Wars miniatures game experience that felt like it had come straight out of the animated lineups of the ’80s and ’90s. To say it was a dream come true to work with such a talented group of artists, sculptors, and our awesome team at Lucasfilm to create new versions of the iconic Star Wars cast in this style would be a complete understatement.” We imagine you will have to fill out most of a 3×3 table, but that’s just a guess as we don’t have any inside info on the rules, but a lot of the promo pictures have looked full of terrain. More Star Wars: Shatterpoint Card Art Revealed: December 1st, 2022While the game has had a bit of a mixed reaction, seeing the minis inside the set might help with your frustrations! Or not, but either way, it’s really cool to see the new minis. What Will Come In The Star Wars Shatterpoint Core Starter Set? Star Wars: Shatterpoint is a totally new game with its own mechanics and structure. We can’t wait to be able to share more with you next year. There are also plenty of Legion releases planned for 2023 – so fear not. Anakin’s Stance Cards are very much selling him on being a combat monster (as you’d expect). His Djem So stance leaves him a little open at only 5 defence dice and defensive expertise capping at 3+, but on the offense you’re getting a bunch of crits via expertise and damage, damage and more damage. Getting 1 Crit from your 8 dice, and a couple of expertise rolls (so average) nets you 3 moves along the tree before taking into account your opponents defensive dice or even regular hits. This will take out most of the supporting units in the game or most of a Primary or Secondary units health. You’ll easily take out someone whose already been damaged, or just spend some force via I’m Going to End This to take them out from full and trigger the bonuses of This is Where the Fun Begins.

Shatterpoint is snappy yet full of tactical depth. Despite being a skirmish game, matches are likely to push 90 minutes or more if you go the full 3 skirmishes and every minute is going to be layered with decision after decision. Overlapping abilities minimize downtime, combat comes with as much movement as an activation, and list building options will only grow.

Star Wars is all about balance, about the push and pull of light and dark. So is Shatterpoint. Matches are divided into Struggles; winning a game of Shatterpoint means winning 2 out of 3 Struggles. Rather than scoring points Struggles are won through an objective focused game of tug of war. After the first phase, you get a little more of a choice for what happens next. Still fairly randomized, but you seem to be able to lead the game where you want it to go. Winning the Game In the same way that you don’t have full knowledge of every mission card you’ll play, you also don’t have full control of your Strike Force’s sequence of activations. Shatterpointrequires a mastery of reactive tactics. Your strategy must be flexible, you have to ride the winds of the Force.

The new game will be a skirmish-style game where you can build up your own custom squads to take objectives and missions, along with totally new Star Wars miniatures as well. Everything We Know About Star Wars Shatterpoint LATEST Who are you painting first from the second half of the Star Wars: Shatterpoint Core Set – Asajj Ventresss, Lord Maul, Gar Saxon, or General Kalani? AMG’s second goal was to create a unique entry to miniatures skirmish games. William Pagani explained specifically that Shatterpoint “utilizes a distinct system for how and when units activate. The struggle objective system gives a sense of building tension and payoff as the game progresses creating a very on-edge and unique miniature gaming experience. This means that even in the worst case of Durability 1, all units are guaranteed at least 1 activation before being pulled off the table. All core box models, even the fragile B1s, have a durability of at least 2 which means they have to be taken down a full two times before they’re removed. While these don’t have any extra bits, the bodies are three parts but look pretty simple to build overall.

Tactical Network– Another out of activation move with a bonus tagged onto the end. Great for moving droids even further up the field outside of their activation and allows you to really shift some characters. At the moment it’s limited to B1’s or Magma Guard (in the Douku Box) but there’s every chance that the “Battle Droid” tag is going to keep showing up regularly for a long time yet! But fate has a big roll to play in Shatterpoint: by nesting some of your abilities inside combat resolution, you’re presented with fresh choices even after you’ve committed to your character’s action for the turn.

And the miniatures? They’re absolutely spectacular, with thin, lithe silhouettes and screen-accurate proportions. Where the characters in Star Wars: Legion appear slightly stretched, with enlarged heads and hands to show detail, Shatterpoint minis look more like action figures. That’s because each multi-part, hard plastic miniature is rendered in 40-millimeter scale — far larger than the industry standard 28-millimeter scale found in most wargames. As an added benefit, the larger size should make them much easier for beginners to paint. For a squad unit, they have the most flexibility we’ve seen in a stance. Again, they need to stay mobile, and the stance really lets them do it. Plus, for a cost of 4, they seem pretty worth it. Kalani, Super Tactical Droid & B1 Battle Droids Rules Roll Into Shatterpoint (April 25th, 2023) After their stream, AMG put out a TL:DR list of all their talking points from the stream itself as well. From a lot of the comments online, there were quite a few questions surrounding terrain and hunker, so it’s nice to see AMG get ahead of the rules instead of letting the game launch with many unanswered questions! The B1 Battle Droids are grouped three models to a base, similar to the Hydra Troops and S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents from Atomic Mass’ sister game Marvel Crisis Protocol. This gives 12 ‘units’, with four units together forming a ‘squad’. Players can build their own squads of heroes and villains freely, though four suggested squads are provided in the box set to get you started.Defensive Manoeuvre– This is on most of the Clones and I’m never going to not like it. Movement is great, Hunker is great. This is great.
