My name is Jack Brussell and I am the creator and editor of Touche Critique, a blog about Star Wars Legion. This very website was created in January 2022 and was originally intended for french-speaking players. But after two years, more than fifty articles and good reviews, it was time to share my writings with the rest of the world. So since 2024, I started to translate my posts in English.
| Did you know ? Touche Critique is French for Critical Hit. But don’t be fooled, I am not French but Belgian. Its a little country just above the Baguettes‘ one. |
Born in Brussels in 1991, I’m a curious mix of optimization and creativity, engineer and artist. So naturally, I was drawn to game design and, more generally, to creative processes in the entertainment sector.
Obviously, wargames caught my eye with great ease. It’s a hobby that mixes right and left brain, thinking and creativity. In November 2020, I set my sights on Star Wars Legion. Except that my intellectual appetite left me wanting more.
When I started this miniatures game, I would have liked some tactical advice on how to get started. As the game progressed, I felt that beneath its simplistic appearance, the game hid some complex strategies. So I scoured the net in search of an Alibaba cave that would have given me a thousand and one tips for this exciting wargame. Unfortunately, apart from consumerist unboxing videos, approximate painting tutorials and summary analyses, there was no French-language content to meet my expectations.
If nobody was eager to create my dream website, was it up to me to make my blogging vision a reality? Who knows, maybe by doing so I’d inspire others?
And so, in January 2022, I decided to launch my own site: ToucheCritique.com. Objective? To offer useful and educational articles for the (French-speaking) Star Wars Legion community.
What are Touche Critique’s missions ?
Touche Critique seeks to fulfil four missions:

Touche Critique is behind the creation of the Star Wars Légion Belgium Discord. Thanks to this forum, everyone can find, meet and play with other players in their region.
