We start out by getting a look at all of the components that you receive when you purchase your Core Set.

Not much has changed as far as the number of cool components you receive.

Laser

We get to see that the dials have been seriously upgraded, not just in maneuvers but also in size and the new ship punchouts have a lot going on as far as multiple firing arcs. Rob show you one of the best ways to keep track if your firing arcs with an Army Painter Laser Target Lock.
