>We played Bunker Assault + Surface Scan
Tbh, this is probably the least interesting mission of them all. I think I like Shifting Priorities and Intercept Signals the most, as they are the most interactive.
>As a result having more activation felt extremely important.
You're right, acts are very important. However, missions like Recover the research and Intercept signals can let you get away with less. Apparently, there's a 6 act republic list that's very competitive now.
>Advantages felt mostly anecdotical.
Yeah, advanced intel is ridiculous. The 3 dodges can be useful on units that want to shoot on turn 1 and will be vulnerable to return fire. I also found that some players take garrison if they have super squads of infantry.
>I was surprised by how close everything felt
New Legion is basically a range 2 game now, controlling the r2 range band is a very important tactical aspect.
>I think the Objectives (Main and Secondary) feel very susceptible to snowballing
I actually disagree here. I often find myself winning games with way less stuff on the board than my enemy. I even recently won a game with exactly 1 b1 droid on the board, while my enemy had like 4 acts still kicking.
