@sundancer for a game that’s as old as Legion you’d think they would have reached a ‘finished’ state yonks ago.
Instead it is starting to feel like 40k / AoS where new exceptions get added at every release without a single one attempting to keep things balanced

When core troops need special rules then the system is flawed and possibly broken.
When new units still manage to introduce ‘special’ exceptions … one has to wonder if the core game was solid.

Such things would be visible if they had to print the rulebook and keep it up to date.
By making it a ‘living rulebook’ this sort of stuff is hidden from view. It also makes it impossible to play a game as it was at release or any fixed point in between.

I hope AMG can provide clarity on the state of Legion/Armada/Xwing but I doubt it.
Are there any units missing from the original trilogy era ?
Because it looks like the basics are there for both factions.
The clonewars era doesn’t feel complete as the droids are finally getting the tactical droid commander and a few specialist droid troops that were in the cartoon series. I’m not sure if any of the vehicles and tanks are needed, because they tend to feel too big in 28mm skirmish style games. You need ‘epic starwars’ for snowspeeders to be effective and useful IMHO
