The initial offering for the strategic miniatures roleplaying game known as Star Wars: Imperial Assault, brought to you by Fantasy Flight Games, is the Star Wars: Imperial Assault Core Set. Its launch occurred on December 15, 2014. Notably, the Core Set comes with the Luke Skywalker Ally Pack and Darth Vader Villain Pack as a special addition.
Imperial Assault immerses you and your companions in the pivotal moments succeeding the destruction of the Death Star above Yavin 4, presenting two distinct gameplay experiences set within the Star Wars narrative. The campaign game allows you and up to four friends to engage in a series of exciting missions connected by a story-driven campaign. Alternatively, the skirmish game pits you and an opponent against each other as you assemble strike teams to compete for objectives. Whether you choose to embody a hero of the Rebellion, fighting alongside recognizable figures such as Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, or command the vast forces of the Galactic Empire, Imperial Assault will transport you into the Star Wars universe.
As an extra incentive, Imperial Assault includes both the Darth Vader Villain Pack and the Luke Skywalker Ally Pack. These figure packs represent the initial expansions for Imperial Assault, introducing meticulously crafted plastic figures along with fresh campaign and skirmish scenarios.
