Imperial Assault casts you and your friends into the climactic events following the Death Star’s destruction above Yavin 4, and offers two full game experiences within the Star Wars saga. In the campaign game, you and up to four other friends play a series of thrilling missions woven together in a narrative campaign, and in the skirmish game, you and your opponent muster your own strike teams and battle head-to-head over conflicting objectives. Whether you play as a hero of the Rebellion and fight alongside iconic characters like Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, or command the seemingly limitless armies of the Galactic Empire, you’ll enter the Star Wars universe in Imperial Assault. As an added bonus, Imperial Assault includes the Darth Vader Villain Pack and the Luke Skywalker Ally Pack. These figure packs mark the first expansions for Imperial Assault, adding sculpted plastic figures with new campaign and skirmish missions.

It’s two great Star Wars games in one — a (mostly) cooperative campaign game PLUS a competitive skirmish game Received my copy of Imperial Assault yesterday. Read all the rules which were posted online a while back, so I was excited to do a solo test of the tutorial mission. Here are some initial impressions after the unboxing and three solo playtests that I thought folks might find helpful.
Is it a board game or a miniature combat game? Apparently, both Star Wars: Imperial Assault is a tabletop game for 2 to 5 players set in the sci-fi/space fantasy Star Wars universe. The contents of this box are based on the time period just after Episode 4 (A New Hope), and include all of the dice, map pieces, cards, tokens, and miniatures needed to play the game. There will be additional expansion packs that will include new miniatures (some replacements for the tokens), cards, and map pieces, but they are not necessary to play. The miniatures themselves…
Great game, but… I have some issues with the miniatures which I’ll list down below.
