Clone Wars (PocketModels)

The Clone Wars expansion, also known as CW, for the Star Wars PocketModel TCG (Trading Card Game) was launched on July 26, 2008. It represents the first of two sets by WizKids Games centered around the Clone Wars period. Alongside the standard booster pack distribution, this set included two 2-player starter sets: Anakin's Assault Force 2-player Starter (A2P) and Obi-Wan's Attack Battalion 2-player Starter (O2P). Each starter set contained two fixed 15-card decks, dice, a playmat, one exclusive CW unit, nine other CW units, a complete rulebook, assembly instructions, and up to eight additional PocketModels from the SV expansion.

The Clone Wars expansion introduced the following new gameplay rules and concepts:
