@sundancer shifting points to an app wouldn’t require such expensive add-ons in addition to the new core box.

I suspect that the meta in v1 was ‘busted’, because they didn’t expect it to be that popular. The format used to sell ships where you had to buy one to even know it was viable didn’t exactly help either.

I can’t help but wonder if a more traditional wargame format (core rules + codexes) would have been better. It would have helped balance the game by treating the various settings like FoW does with early/mid/late war .

It doesn’t help that this is a game based on a movie franchise where balance is ‘what looks cool’ instead of what works and armor/shield strength has a tendency to be linked to the plot and/or character piloting.

It makes one wonder if they learned any lessons for Legion … as they may be making the same mistake again.
