Ok here we go folks!**Simone Eliot**: Head of Studio for AMG. Does all the business stuff.**Will Shick**: Head of Product Development. Does all the "cool stuff".States that they are going to talk about what's coming up for the games, so here's hoping for some news.Studio started with 8 people. Hiring a lot of new staff. Possibly took on some FFG staff?What's coming up next? It takes 18-24 months for ideas to get made into products. Simone says that all the product coming in 2021 was created while the studio was work-from-home, so expect delays on a lot of product.Simone: Why was the move made from FFG to AMG? Simone has worked all these games with FFG. A focus was to move the games from a "Board Game Perspective" to a "Miniatures Game" perspective. "Give it a more authentic miniature's feel."Shick: "Miniatures first, everything else second." Wants to build on the foundations that already exist, but with more focus on the miniatures. Miniatures are "An expression of your self", so AMG wants to have a valuable miniature experience even outside the game.Shick: **X-Wing and Armada will remain pre-painted.** Possibly put out some painting guides for custom x-wings. More exciting sculpts, more dynamic.Simone: "What you can expect from AMG." Spoilers at the end of the stream. "When will people see the change in branding?" Everything coming in 2021 is FFG stuff. In **2022 everything will move to AMG branding**. Reprints will have AMG branding.Starting today or tomorrow all social posts will start coming from AMG. FFG's social accounts will be phased out over the next few weeks and months.Starting next week Will Shick will live stream every Wednesday and there will be a stream on Friday for Star Wars content. Very hobby focused streams, painting and design and such.Simone: Not a bunch of spoiler information at the end of this. In March there will be a ton of live streams with much more spoiler content than this one.Simone: **Organized Play: Bigger announcement at noon central tomorrow.** Covers competitive OP for both studios. "We have made the decision to not move forward with a Worlds in 2021. We are not in a position pandemic wise to plan something that big." Next Worlds is coming in 2022. Wants to focus on smaller store level OP towards the later half of 2021.Shick: AMG and Organized Play. Inheriting from FFG and wants to continue that legacy. OP will remain an important part of all their games. Want to explore different modes of play, want players to be able to explore their miniatures and ships in new and different ways. (My take on this means painting competitions and awards).Simone: "Do I get to talk about my hopes and dreams for Legion OP?" Talking about doing something that is essentially "Vader Down" from the comics. She's super into that idea, and Shick is backing her up. It's just a "hope and dream".Spoilers:**X-Wing**** There are no current plans for X-Wing 3.0. AMG is happy with the state of the game** but wants to explore other experiences such as co-op and other things. Expect regular points updates, and app updates.
