I got my cards and I have a question. The Alto Stratus recommended mini is Agen Kolar. The light saber is visible and not removed. I assume this is an oversight. Based on the rules, he counts for having a light saber because of this. Is this correct?

These are very different Strafe/Gallop options than what already exist. There are 5 new pieces with Strafe or Gallop in Vehicles at War; lets look at each one:

Jar-Jar: Obviously he's not a big hitter. He's an A+ swarm killer since he has Distraction, so he doesn't get hit by Death Shots or bad AoOs or self destruct when he Gallops past things. Probably won't be a really competitive piece to be honest, and he's very one dimensional.

Obi-Wan on Boga: Having a Huge base is a really serious disadvantage. Having Stealth does help him a lot, as well as a mountain of HP, but it will be very difficult to effectively use Galloping Attack on a Huge base. Also keep in mind that he'll be directly competing with GOWK for table time, since they're the same price point, and GOWK is generally going to be better still.

Grievous: One of the stronger new additions. Being a Large base isn't quite as bad as Huge, but it still is a disadvantage. He's also really, really expensive. Yeah, you can swap him out for Kaleesh Warlord so you give less points to your opponent, but that doesn't make him immediately stronger. Yes, there is a very strong combo that relies on you having a LOT of table control (you must both out-activate AND be certain to win init) and also relies on you not be playing against any of the counters to Galloping/Strafe Attack that have been being introduced for a while.

Durge: Much the same as Grievous. He doesn't work like Lancers do now, because you can't use Pawn of the Darkside on him, which is really critical for a lot of Lancer games. His high HP helps make up for that, but the low Defense and high cost still keep him in check. Dropping him for Durge Jedi Hunter does have potential to be strong. To be really good, he requires the same table control that Grievous does.

Luke and Leia on Speederbike: More of a flavor piece. They have potential to be very powerful, especially since they can get Cunning +20, but not playing another Luke or Leia makes it much more difficult to build around them. Also, they work totally differently than the other Strafers, who want to go last, since they really want to hit first so they get Cunning off. With just a +10 base Attack, they will have trouble hitting much without that bonus.


So I really don't think we've made anything stronger than Yobuck or Lancers. Maybe some pieces that are situationally better, but nothing that really breaks the power ceiling open. I've never been a big fan of Gallop/Strafe either, but I prefer these pieces because they avoid some of the real abusive synergies that the existing ones have (PotDS for Lancer and swapping/towing for Yobuck). They trade those synergies for more outright power and sometimes flexibility, which I think actually makes them less of an NPE than the existing combos.

Some people won't like these pieces, because they just really, really hate any kind of Gallop/Strafe. Trust me, I understand. I'm at an uncomfortable place in the game right now because a lot of the top tier squads are things that I don't like playing with or against. But we want to keep options open to everyone, so that no one squad type dominates the meta. If you do like Gallop/Strafe, that should be a viable option for you. If you don't like it, great, and I don't think we've made it too powerful that you have to play it or see it constantly.

That is the same way that Versatility works though; you only get the cost for the unit you kill.
