Barely a week goes by without Fantasy Flight Games throwing another preview about Imperial Assault at us. This tells me they’ve got a lot to crow about, which in turn tells me that the final product is shaping up to be a great game.
In this preview, FFG talks about the forces available to the Empire, from Stormtroopers to Darth Vader.
From the website:
One of the most ubiquitous signs of Imperial might across the galaxy is the grim white visage of a Stormtrooper. Rebel operatives everywhere have learned to fear the presence of a Stormtrooper – where there’s one, there’s always another.
As the Imperial player in the campaign game, you must foil the Rebels and achieve your own mission objectives. Countless squads of Stormtroopers provide you with some of the warriors you need to achieve this goal. Vital information about your Stormtroopers is shown on their Deployment card, shown to the right. At the bottom of the card, you’ll find the Stormtrooper’s listed Health, Speed, Defense, and Attack, and on the upper left-hand side of the card, the number of bars illustrates how many figures make up a Stormtrooper squad: three, in this case. The Deployment card also lists any special abilities that the squad possesses, as well as any surge abilities that can be triggered during combat.
