Skirmish Across Endor With New Star Wars: Imperial Assault Mat
March 19, 2019 by brennon
Fantasy Flight Games has designed a new Star Wars: Imperial Assault mat for you to use at your FLGS. Check out the Endor Defense Station Skirmish Map which might be familiar to some who have played the game.
This gives you a permanent set-up for you to use when you're playing out your tournament games of Star Wars: Imperial Assault or indeed just skirmishing against friends.
These mats have been used before and could be great for those looking to set up proper competitive options for players. They also save you having to source loads of different tiles when it comes to setting up the tabletop!
Two new skirmish cards have also been included with the mat as well giving you some alternative objectives to consider instead of just blasting your opponents.
Will you be snapping this up?

But there’s absolutely nothing you can do organise the tiles, they are an absolute nightmare and switching the board between missions takes forever. Setting up something as big as that map using the tiles would be a total nightmare.
wow that is a fabulous mat that will work well as the labs under the big house in resident evil I think.
Why on earth would you go with just a black background on this? I mean, I get that the game is a super claustrophobic dungeon crawler, and that they don’t even try to make the outdoor areas feel different from the interior of the Death Star. I get that none of the environments will actually feel like they’re in the open out door. But if they’d had some trees or terrain drawn on the impassible spots on the right half of the map, I would go a long way to make me feel like there’s a tree and not a… Read more »
Indeed. Especially the ‘outside’ area could have used a bit of extra texture to mask the ‘impassable terrain’
Exactly.
I mean, I get that the rules set requires a lot of narrow corridors, but at least you should try to mask it a little bit.
