[neilkoch]

so the empire troops don't panic if they use Vaders bravery? so they fear him more than their enemy... very accurate.

[CashmereMercenary]

These games always seem like so much fun but man is it hard finding people to play with.

[tabletopminiatures]

This chap is a really good teacher. He is clear and concise.

[SirJamesIGamerfuzion]

I love how detailed this game is and the fact if a speeder comes in contact with a object like a tree just like in the film it dies lol

[IronSquid]

*happy music as Darth Vader force chokes some poor rebel while mid-duel with Luke*

[zacharyglenn]

I've just discovered this channel, and as a brand new Legion player, this is very helpful. Thank you for the awesome video, and the detailed instructions!!

[Sorastro]

Fabulous work sir! As usual you demonstrate a masterly sense of pace and concision. Bravo :)

[rodboudreau]

How do you remember all this. I know there is editing but man you are the best.

[GkCulture]

I work at a small comic shop (Bearded Browncoat Comics & Games) and we were lucky enough to get a copy early to demo. Im running the demo tomorrow and this video has saved my life. Im more prepared than ever. Thanks for the great work as always, your videos have always been invaluable to me.

[waltercook]

There have been other learn to play videos since this one. This series is still the best one. I’m hoping you will do a update one with the Clone Wars set.

[RedWonderer]

One of the best How To Play videos I have ever seen. Thank you so much for making it.

[fromshadowtosubstance]

Best explanation of the game yet! Better than the convoluted manual that comes with the game! Thanks!

[geoffreyclark]

Excellent tutorial. Clarifies a lot of issues. Thank you.

[siahfishin]

I hope you got paid well for doing this, or any of your videos for that matter. You have the most professionally done TableTop gaming rule overviews and play throughs i have ever seen...

[Hallblithe]

This is splendid! It’s the first of your videos I’ve watched, but I’m sure it won’t be the last. Thank you so much for taking the time to produce this!

[MasterJediDude]

Question: Can troop units enter buildings if there are open interiors? Just curious, as I've seen people at my LGS doing it and putting troops up next to the windows.

[sloths-dfgf]

Brilliantly clear, as ever. Thank you, Rodney!

[colinheyl]

Currently painting my models and prepping my lists for my first Legion game. This is a really useful overview! Cheers :)

[barrywombleton]

Thank you for explaining what the Rules Reference seems to muddle up a bit. I really appreciate it and now I see where my group and I made mistakes the first time we played.

[timberstove]

I was about to get into warhammer 40k then I was this and I’m hooked, do you this they will bring out prequel teams like the clones and droids? That would be pretty cool
