The artwork is so cool! Like others have said already, i really enjoyed reading the backstory to the imperial squirrels, love the link to a faraway galaxy... ;)
Really like the Shellbreak mechanism, adds a really interesting interactive element for other players to interfere with this faction.
Might just be me, but the card draw seems a bit OP.
Really cool design! Satisfyingly huge acorn cannon. Would be fun to have this monster lingering in the forests during the game!
A superweapon is definitely a VIP haha. And thanks for the write-up that makes their little story and gameplay so clear. The artwork is definitely my huge standout though. Really great faction
I felt a great disturbance in the forest...
This is _awesome_ I really love it, love that there's this element of impending doom, forcing you to choose between letting them score and getting targeted for destruction! And really love the artwork :)
I'm not sure I fully understand if there is a counter mechanism to stop them from using their super weapon. Maybe they need a x-shaped flying squirrel?
This faction sounds terrifying to play against! Either surrender to the Empire or get blasted to smithereens! If only someone was able to get the plans for this
battle stationdeath machine so we could find a weakness ;-)My favourite part is the garrison tokens. It's so interesting that other players can place your tokens for you as a way of protecting themselves, but they're still allowing you to score points in your Evening. Would love to see this in action!
