Delayed, Not Derailed – Our New Legion Era Begins | DtG S4 EP2
Season 4, Episode 2 of Deploy the Garrison marks our first full episode in the new era of Star Wars: Legion—and there’s a lot to talk about.
Kris and Alan return to form after the Will Shick & Will Pagani interview (Season 4, Episode 1), this time diving into their personal experiences with the updated rules and the evolving feel of Legion on the table. Kris shares his impressions from his first official game of 2025, and Alan previews his upcoming event.
But it’s not all dice and deployments—this episode also tackles some of the real-world hurdles affecting the game’s momentum. With delays to the June releases now confirmed and the looming specter of tariffs affecting the tabletop industry, we reflect on how these issues ripple out across production, distribution, and the player base.
We even bring receipts. As mentioned during the episode, Stonemaier Games recently broke down how a 54% increase in production costs from tariffs could cause a $5 expense to balloon into a $25–$50 price hike at retail. It’s a must-read if you want to understand the business side of the games we love.

Despite all that, the energy around Legion’s new edition remains strong. We wrap up the episode with thoughts on terrain changes, ongoing list building, and what might be next.
