If you're a Star Wars and miniatures wargaming fan, you're living through a golden age! But with great games come difficult choices. The launch of the new edition of Star Wars: Legion has led many wargaming newbies down a rabbit hole. Right now, there are not one but two major Star Wars tabletop games available. Both offer distinct experiences: Star Wars: Legion and Star Wars: Shatterpoint. They’re published by Atomic Mass Games and feature awesome miniatures and exciting gameplay but they differ in scale, mechanics, time investment, and playstyle. So, for players who are on the fence about which game to dive into, we’ve compared them across the most important differences. Join us along the way and may the Force be with you! 1. Large-Scale Wargame vs. Hero Skirmisher Star Wars: Legion is a large-scale wargame, simulating full-blown battles between major factions like the Empire, the Rebel Alliance, the Separatists, and the Republic. Players command entire squads of troops, vehi...

The Mandalorians were a proud and fierce warrior culture, known for their armor made out of Beskar steel and their suberb combat prowess. Now their once thriving empire has whithered away leaving different creeds of Mandalorians scattered throughout the galaxy. Today we shall meet a few of them along the way : the crafty Armorer, the brave Paz Vizsla and the covert Mandalorians. The Armorer a.k.a. the Woman-dalorian Role: Melee Tank with Force-saving Bonus Strengths: Fantastic Force Identity: with “Our survival is our strength” allied Mandos don’t have to spend extra Force for active or reactive abilities when they are wounded or injured. This is the most important ability of the Armorer! Force management wins games, and this makes it significantly easier. Mandos are generally Force-hungry, and this lets them really go wild. Strong Melee Fighter: Up to 9 damage in both stances. In “Strength of the Hammer” she rolls 8 dice with top-tier expertise = at 2+ already 1 Hit, 1 Crit, and a Cr...

Captain Cassian Andor, the determined intelligence officer of the Rebellion has last been seen on the Planet of Ghorman (I thought there's nothing but spiders?!) but now he leads the “All the Way Squad” in Star Wars: Shatterpoint. Together with the reprogrammed Imperial security droid K-2SO and the Rebel Pathfinders, he forms a versatile and thematic team known for covert tactics, sabotage, and precision strikes. Captain Cassian Andor Role: Flexible all-rounder with attrition tendencies. Cassian Andor brings a unique blend of flexibility, strong aggression, and clever tricks to the game. His strengths especially shine when paired with other Rebels and Spies. Strengths Excellent flexibility in list building: With 9 Squad Points, many units can easily be integrated into Andor’s team. Strong tag synergy: Andor is especially effective when paired with other units that have the Rebel or Spy tag. Very strong Revenge ability: “Make ten men feel like a hundred” = When any allied unit beco...

I’m still very much a noob when it comes to MCP. But that’s exactly what creates an opportunity. I’m taking you along on my journey of discovery into the world of Marvel Crisis Protocol and sharing my thoughts and impressions along the way. For a more competitive focused point of view head over to SGP Protocol.  After recently diving into the Core Set, the next step was obvious: Which affiliation do I want to play first? I decided to go with the Inhumans. Simply because they had just been released at the time and their miniatures looked really cool. Was it the right decision? Let’s find out! I started with the Inhumans Character Pack, so I’ll mostly focus on that instead of the whole affiliation in the following text. The Inhumans Character Pack (Inhuman Royal Court) is a great starter set for anyone looking to begin their journey with the Inhumans affiliation. The pack includes four characters: King Black Bolt, Maximus the Mad, Karnak, and Gorgon. On top of that, you get six team ...

Ich bin ja immer noch ein Noob, was MCP angeht. Aber gerade dadurch bietet sich auch eine Chance. Ich nehme euch mit auf meine Entdeckungsreise in die Welt von MCP und lasse euch an meinen Gedanken und Eindrücken teilhaben.  Nachdem ich mich letztens dem Core Set gewidmet habe, stand der nächste Schritt an. Welche Fraktion möchte ich zuerst spielen? Ich habe mich für die Inhumans entschieden. Ganz einfach, weil sie zu dem Zeitpunkt gerade veröffentlicht wurden und die Miniaturen cool aussehen. War es die richtige Entscheidung? Finden wir es heraus! Ich bin mit dem Inhumans Character Pack gestartet und werde mich deshalb auch im folgenden Text weitestgehend darauf beschränken. Das Inhumans Character Pack (Inhuman Royal Court) ist ein tolles Starter Set für alle, die mit den Inhumans als Fraktion beginnen möchten. Das Pack besteht aus vier Charakteren: King Black Bolt, Maximus the Mad, Karnak und Gorgon. Obendrauf kommen sechs Team-Taktik-Karten. Die Miniaturen: Ich bin ja generell e...

Clone Force 99, better known as The Bad Batch, is an elite unit of the Grand Army of the Galactic Republic. This squad consists of clones with genetic mutations that would normally make them a failed production. But what seems like a weakness actually gives them unique strengths, setting them apart from the "Regs" (which is a slur for regular clone troopers but don't worry the Kaminoan HR is alteady informed) . So today we will answer a question Michael once asked: Who’s Bad? Clone Sergeant Hunter Role: The name says it all. He’s a hunter specialized in melee combat and offering strong offensive buffs to other clones. Strengths: Great Mobility: Hunter lives up to his name thanks to his "Enhanced Tracker" reactive ability. When an enemy Primary completes a move action, he gets a free dash toward them. Out-of-activation mobility is always valuable, and the threat alone can deter opponents from moving their Primary too freely. Excellent in Melee: His "Strikin...
