Jan 2 2015

BoLS tears open the box on FFG’s latest big STAR WARS miniatures game!  Come look at all the stuff you get!

Imperial Assault $99.95

Imperial Assault contains:
– A learn to play rulebook, a rules reference, a campaign guide, and a skirmish guide
– 34 detailed plastic figures
– 59 double-sided map tiles
– Eleven custom dice
– Over 250 cards
– Over 150 assorted tokens
– The Luke Skywalker Ally Pack and the Darth Vader Villain Pack
Here’s a super quick summary of both play modes from FFG:

“You’ll have twice the opportunities to immerse yourself in the Star Wars universe with the two complete games included in Imperial Assault. In the campaign game, up to four players command heroes of the Rebellion, battling against a single Imperial player in a narrative campaign that changes every time you play through it. The skirmish game, on the other hand, gives you the chance to go head-to-head with a single opponent – mustering your own armies and fighting to complete conflicting objectives. Whichever game you play, your tactical decisions decide the fate of the galaxy!

A Narrative Campaign

Our series of in-depth previews examined each aspect of the Imperial Assault experience. We began with a discussion of the basis of every mission: moving and attacking. In Imperial Assault, every figure has two actions to move, fire a blaster, engage in melee combat, search crates, open doors, or complete other tasks. Deciding which actions your figures will take each turn is the heart of gameplay.
Deadly Skirmishes

Other previews focused on the second game within Imperial Assault: the skirmish game. In a skirmish mission, both players attempt to gain victory points by eliminating an opponent’s figures and completing the mission’s objectives. We presented a detailed overview of the skirmish game, highlighting the differences between campaign and skirmish missions and revealing some of the Deployment cards and Command cards you use to achieve victory.

Here’s our GENCON 2014 Imperial Assault Demo:
