Recruit Han and Chewie to Fight the Evil Empire’s Forces!

Fantasy Flight Games is churning out some more awesomeness! This time for the new and soon to be released Imperial Assault game. They have announced new Ally and Villain packs to be able to expand your game universe.
So now you can add some actual miniatures to this already impressive game by replacing some of the character tokens with these packs. Not only do you get a nicely detailed miniature but also side missions that can be woven into campaigns already running. There are also command cards to add to your deck for when you play the skirmish version of Imperial Assault (which I am more interested in). There are seven new packs in all that they have added and I can only imagine there will be more!
Oh and get a look at the new AT-ST pack, I see some Endor Forest Battles happening on that gorgeous table that Lloyd and Warren built. Even Oriskany might have something up his sleeve to make this into an interesting wargame!
This is making this game a must have for me, what about you?

Hi can the skirmish game of imperial assualt be played out on large scale like bolt action
Just imagine the terrain you can build 🙂
probably get blasted for this but if done write can be Bigger than 40k. Fantasy Flight can do this look at the star wars universe, loads of minis loads of codex’s and loads of fluffy stuf to read COME ON FFG YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m right there with you. I don’t play 40k ( which makes me an oddball of the BoW team) because I can’t find an identity that I like. Now get this IA game going and make it play similar I could get into it big time!
Im an oddball to, i dont play 40k ive just got in to wargaming only in the last year especially with xwing and bolt action love the mechanic of bolt action for ww2 stuff really creates the fog of war. swing speaks for itself. Speaking of me being an odd ball what does IA game mean.
And how do we get warren to talk about this and the whole star wars on the table top. I know he touched on it a few weekenders ago.
der its “imperial assualt” sorry bit slow today
I will buy this game just for the damn figures. Curse you FFG, they know how to get into my wallet and they abuse this knowledge way too much.
This game looks to be another top-notch job from FFG, as with x-Wing there is so much scope for expansion with existing content, not to mention new content that will derive from the Rebels cartoon and Episode VII. Does anyone know what scale the mini’s will be? I’m hoping they’re compatible with the 1200 odd WotC mini’s I have…
From memory they were about 28mm.
They’re missing something.
Stormtroopers.
We’re going to need lots and lots of Stormtroopers for our Imperial Assault skirmish / Star Wars based Bolt Action games.
Wait a minute … those three rebel troopers look suspiciously like the same mini from three different angles. FFG will have to do better than that to interest me.
Stormtroopers come in the core box set, but yeah I would like to see a pack of Stormtroopers too.
I’m lucky enough to have some of the Knight Models multipart Stormtroopers, I wonder how they’ll compare with this games Stormies
These ones will be pre-assembled soft plastics with integral bases. Good quality for what they are but not as detailed as a high quality wargaming sculpt.
