I've got thr base game and Grevious, plus another 2 squad packs. I'm worried about breaking light sabres and things. Are there any good storage options out there? I find the original box is good for the manuals and terrain but I don't want to dump all the minis in there together.

Hi everyone,

I preordered the Shatterpoint core set and picked up a few of the first expansion boxes. Unfortunately, they all ended up buried in my closet and stayed there until recently.

I've finally decided to give the game a try! The rules seem quite convoluted, and I haven't found that many podcasts or other resources covering the game, so I'd love to hear your thoughts:

1. What's the current state of the game? I know the release schedule has changed, but how do you feel about the balance updates and the overall meta? Have the updates made a meaningful difference, or are they mostly errata and clarifications?
2. Can you buy updated physical unit cards anywhere? The updated card document is quite long, and it looks like quite a few of the early units have changed.
3. Does it work as a beer-and-pretzels game? Or, in my case, soda-and-pretzels, since I'll be playing with my kid! We've already played AoS Spearhead and One Page Rules together, so we're not completely new to miniature games. The rulebook seems quite lengthy and convoluted in places, especially LOS and cover. There's also a lot of text on the unit cards—six units means around 24 abilities to keep track of.
4. How much replayability would I get out of eight squads? Would that give us enough variety to keep things interesting for a while?
5. Is the terrain from the core set enough for enjoyable games? If not, which terrain expansion would you recommend?
6. Are there any good resources explaining LOS and cover in detail? Ideally with diagrams or practical examples, especially for the trickier situations.

Thanks in advance!
