Awesome, thanks!

ST-70's dial was revealed, yes.

Not a lot of blue at all; unfortunately, and the red barrel roll is innate to the ship; this just links another of the ship's innate actions - a white evade - to it.

Ah I was worried it would be straights only...

Yea I knew the red barrel roll was already there. What I'm saying is, if you need to barrel roll anyway, the title makes sure you also get an evade token to pair with your 2+ defense dice as a consolation.

More Pride of Mandalore reveals today! Including a card that is going to be annoying to figure out how to name on the wiki. Today's theme is Shadow Collective crew options, and it makes sense that all of these are Scum, with two twin-factions to back them up.

This is the annoying one - we already have a Maul Crew for Scum; so we'll have to think about naming conventions here. Anyway, Maul gives a Force point, a purple Coordinate and an illicit slot for two crew. Not the most groundbreaking double crew option ever, to be fair; but Illicits offer a lot of really interesting tech, and another source of Force for Scum will never be unappreciated. Plus, purple coordinate is a strong boost.

Rook has almost got the same ability on foot as she does in the Gauntlet - auto-convert for a hit as long as you have a strain, get a strain for performing a Red action. And, helpfully, she offers a red target lock for ships in those trying times. She feels very good on the Razor Crest - a greater incentive to use the barrel roll, and there's a lot of other Scum ships that can appreciate auto-conversions. She also pairs very well with Maul in the Gauntlet, so one of the ships that he coordinates gets the auto-conversion. Lots of trickery here.

Another Crewmember on the Scum Strain Supremacy Ship; Savage lets a ship that takes a strain or stress gain a focus in exchange for a force. If you want to expand Maul in the Gauntlet's Force pool; Savage looks like a very natural fit - coordinate two ships and strain them both with that, then give the one in the better position for a single Force point out of a pool of 4. Savage also might see a bit of play for Separatists, too, his ability is certainly a worthwhile option.

Last up for today; Almec. Republic/Scum double-sided crew, and one I honestly feel like players will want to flip as quickly as possible. Top side letting ships take a stress for a Calculate if they reveal a white maneuver is fine, all things considered, but being able to perform a calculate or focus after completing a red maneuver, regardless of stress? That's a generally excellent support ability, especially for lists focusing on squirrely aces with a lot of red repositional tools like sloops, t-rolls and k-turns. Or on bigger ships that struggle to turn easily...

Yea this set is fantastic!

BTW we'll name Maul "Maul (Scum/Crew/Crew)" or something like that. If that's unwieldy then its his own fault. :D

I would suggest renaming old Maul to "Maul (Scum/Ezra)" and making the new one "Maul (Scum)". Not sure crew part is absolutely needed, as long as pilot Mauls specify their ship. Unless it is more consistent?

Happy New Year from here in Australia! OK, it's been the new year for more than 15 hours, but... eh. AMG still got out the drip post, and today's is focusing on Separatist additions for the Heroes of Mandalore. I'm not going to lie; one of these cards is going to need instant FAQ-ing or replacing... but we'll get into it.

Pre Vizla offers a lot of support for your Death Watch Commandos and Mandalorian Super Commando teams; since extra movement on your flying roadblocks is always going to be appreciated. Plus, he gives a white coordinate, and there's always a use for coordinates.

Here, though... Tal Merrik is the problem. His condition card straight-up does not work under the new AMG ruleset - not even a little bit. It's one of the effects we know is one they're removing from the game, so... the decision to advertise him as printed is, as far as I'm concerned, a terrible one.

Yea as soon as I saw that I thought the same thing. Very odd... feels like the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.

Pre Vizsla casually adding a coordinate makes him automatically useful, assuming he's cheaper than Protectorate Gleb. If Tal weren't instantly problematic, that'd be two interesting cards that interact with remotes. But Pre is neat regardless of Tal's fall; sometimes it's tactically valuable to reposition your mando cluster and that's pretty cool.

Next set of reveals are in for the Gauntlet; and it's a treat - we finally get to see the swivel wing config rules. These won't be anything new for a Rebel player - more on that in a sec - but they are really interesting for everybody else. And still cool for Rebels, to be fair...

It's a giant U-Wing. That's it, just a giant U-wing that suffers a loss of evasion after taking the rotation. All of a sudden, though, the rather bland dial of the ship opens up a lot more - take a stressful stop, spin the ship on the spot, then off you go. Again, it's basically U-wing strategies, just on an absolutely massive platform.

But what would be more interesting than making it a giant U-Wing? A pilot that completely changes how the mechanic works! Captain Hark takes the rotational power of the Swivel Wing and removes your ability to spin like a 0-speed K-turn, instead converting it into a speed-1 sideslip. A maneuver type we've only seen on the HMP. On a absolutely massive ship. This is really cool from a positional trick level.
