Components and Integration
This pack provides the Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight plastic figure that can be used when playing a mission. The other components in this expansion are incorporated as follows:
- Add the Deployment and Command cards to their supplies.
- If you own the Jabba's Realm expansion, add the Side Mission card to the pool of green Side Mission cards. The heroes can choose this card when building the Side Mission deck at the start of a campaign.
- If you own the Jabba's Realm expansion, shuffle the Skirmish Mission cards into the Skirmish Mission deck. These cards use the "The Dune Sea" map (see below).
Component Breakdown
- 1 Plastic Figure (Luke Skywalker)
- 2 Deployment Cards (Luke Skywalker, Motivation)
- 3 Command Cards (Parry, Positioning Advantage, Blitz)
- 1 Side Mission Card (A Light in the Darkness)
- 2 Skirmish Mission Cards (The Dune Sea)
Time Period
In order to allow a more open-ended play experience, the missions in this expansion do not include time periods and can therefore be used in any campaign.
Neutral Deployment Cards
Deployment cards with a Neutral Icon and card back do not belong to an affiliation. When creating an army for a skirmish, a player may choose to include Neutral Deployment cards as if they belonged to his affiliation. Neutral Deployment cards cannot be used in a campaign.
Skirmish Attachments
Some skirmish upgrade Deployment cards list the word "Attachment" above their abilities. These cards can be attached to other Deployment cards as follows:
- When deploying units during skirmish setup, if a player has one or more "Attachment" cards included in his army, he places each of these cards on one of his non-upgrade Deployment cards.
- Each Deployment card can have only one "Attachment."
- Abilities on "Attachment" cards apply to all figures in the corresponding group.
- Many attachments require the group to have a specific trait, such as "Trooper." Attachments with these restrictions cannot be played on a group that does not have the trait.
When a group with an "Attachment" card is defeated, the opposing player scores VPs equal to the deployment cost of the "Attachment" card in addition to the VPs he scores from the defeated group's Deployment card.
Figure Cost
Each figure in Imperial Assault has a figure cost that may be referenced by abilities and game effects. A figure cost is one of two values:
- If a deployment group has a starting group size of 1, that figure's figure cost is equal to the group's deployment cost.
- If a deployment group has a starting group size of 2 or more, each figure in that group has a figure cost equal to the group's reinforcement cost.
