Product Information

a Supporting Unit –unlike the other two, Supporting Units usually aren’t named characters, and a Supporting Unit can consist of multiple models. Editor’s Note: AMG has published Day 1 Errata and FAQs, the most significant of which is a change to cover. Cover is now harder to get and requires first having a Hunker token! This will lead to less Cover in general, but increase the survivability and utility of units that easily get Hunker like Clone Troopers!]

Mace Windu trained her. Only he can find her. Only he can learn what has changed her. Only he can stop her. The Star Wars: Shatterpoint game empowers players to alter the fate of the galaxy, from the Core Worlds to the Outer Rim. Players build and command a strike team composed of iconic Star Wars characters and pit them against each other in exciting battles. A video trailer, embedded above, shows off some very close-up shots of the new sculpts. Characters include Ahsoka Tano, Bo-Katan Kryze, and Lord Maul (with his fancy metal legs). A news briefing said that players will be able to “mix and match their favorite characters to form custom squads they want to play.”Unless the effect says otherwise, measure the Range ( g) of Place effects from the object that is being Placed. Kalani and the B1 Battle Droids feature in the Core Set and highlight some of these synergies. Kalani lets nearby Battle Droids take an extra move upon activation and can also spend a Force Point to let them do something out of sequence. B1 Battle Droids get benefits for staying nearby anyway, so this threesome can really lay down firepower and stay active even when an individual card isn’t drawn. Climb: Unlike the other two types of movement, Climb lets you end your movement at any elevation higher than your starting position, so it’s great for getting on top of buildings and walkways. It uses the Dash measuring tool.

Shatterpoint is a new smaller-scale battles game that immediately calls to mind Atomic Mass’ marquee game Marvel: Crisis Protocol. A trailer was released earlier today that shows off the very nice-looking miniatures, which are as follows (best I can tell): You're not permitted to mix and match characters from different eras, though - so no putting Original Trilogy heroes with Clone Wars troops, for instance - and you're forbidden from doubling up on models with the same Unique Name. Of course, the biggest factor in determining if a skirmish game is any good is in how it handles combat. Happily, Shatterpoint's system is an absolute doozy. 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.The B1 Battle Droids come in at 3PC with 0 force points, 9 Stamina, and 2 Durability. 3PC makes it a little harder to move this unit around in squad building but in tandem with Kalani allows them to go with any of the 3 Primaries that get 8 squad points. Following Kalani’s theme the B1 Battle Droids have 9 Stamina and 2 Durability giving them slightly above average health. Bo-Katan Kryze helps to lead the charge in the siege of Mandalore as a Secondary unit with her supporting unit of Clan Kryze Mandalorians. I’ve had Anakin Skywalker batter Darth Maul the length of a walkway, then vault off and onto an objective held bya swarm of battle droids; seen Darth Maul rip Captain Rex off a gantry with the force to shove a Lightsaber down his throat; sent Mandalorians jetboosting out of combat to grab objectives; had B6 battle droids shoot into Anakin Skywalker, only to suffer more damage than they inflicted as he deflected their shots. The 501st is led into battle by CC-7567 Captain Rex as the Secondary unit with his trusty 501st Clone Troopers as his Supporting unit.
