In this episode of Deploy the Garrison, Kris and Alan break down the new Savage Opress reveal from GenCon and reflect on how they predicted his arrival during earlier interviews with Will Shick and Will Pagani.

In the Officers Mess, Alan shares a couple of recon league battle reports, and Kris fields some hobby questions after finishing a recent model. Expect a bit of a painting tangent before diving into deployment zones and early game pressure.

The main topic tackles table setup in Star Wars: Legion — what really makes a battlefield functional and fun? We go beyond just Light and Heavy cover and talk terrain mix, line of sight blockers, lanes of fire, and how the table itself shapes tactics from the first move to the final score.
