![]() ![]() I will then pick one half of the board and place some of my terrain pieces filling the gaps between the currently placed pieces. To me this creates more interesting games and decisions. You also may have to decide between a double move to score or to try and aim and shoot to prevent a unit from scoring. By having a piece of terrain on each board edge, this stops you from walking straight down that edge without having to risk being shot a single time. I’ve started to do this to make games more interesting when it comes to Secret Mission or Breakthrough. The next thing I start to do is I place four pieces of terrain with each one touching a board edge. ![]() Having a big piece of terrain and multiple units touching that terrain and not being able to shoot each other leads to less interesting interactions and games. The other thing to consider and why I avoid putting big pieces of LOS terrain in the middle is due to key positions. I make sure it is slightly off center so to not affect the above missions. If I placed this fountain dead center of the board, objectives like Recover or Hostage would be starting on top of the fountain and unable to be retrieved. I normally go with something that is not line of sight (LOS) blocking but is something that provides cover. The way I start with tables at the moment is always with the centre piece of terrain. I realised when doing this article that I could do with adding some more scatter and area terrain. You can see with all the terrain we are going use that it takes up near enough 25% of the table. So for this guide I’m going to be using my Naboo box of terrain it has pros and cons which I will cover as we go through this guide. ![]() So if we look at the official tournament guidelines we can see from above that a table should be between 25%-35% of the size of the table, divided up by the different types of terrain that can affect Legion games. Hopefully this guide will give some insight on what I believe makes a good table layout but it is not the only way you can set up a table. Now was this because by day two the terrain had been knocked, or because I made the mistake and missed it across the 30 tables I had set up? Whatever the reason, no table setup is going to be perfect or with out error. The individuals did not call me over till they were three turns into the game, at which point I could not move the terrain or the objective. How I approach setting up a table is not perfect.Īs a matter of a fact one of my tables at MKGT I had made it so the centre piece of terrain was able to place the box, but no unit was able to get into base contact and claim the objective. So I wanted to write an article of how I set tables up. I gave feedback about bad terrain placements at 7 th City and Element Games. I complained about the lack of terrain at LGT. Over the last couple of my blogs I have criticized the tables at the events I’ve attended. This article will cover setting up terrain for Star Wars: Legion. ![]()
