Fantasy Flight Games announce the Lando Calrissian Commander Expansion for Star Wars: Legion.
Some leaders leave all their cards on the table, making it clear to all they would sacrifice anything for the cause. Others, however, keep their intentions closer to the chest, only revealing their true rebel spirit under extreme circumstances.
Such is the case with Lando Calrissian. A consummate gambler and scoundrel, he keeps his cool as he plays all sides to his advantage. But when the galaxy is at stake, he sides with the freedom fighters of the Rebel Alliance. Soon you’ll be able to use Calrissian’s unique brand of leadership to guide your Rebel armies on the battlefields of Star Wars™: Legion. Fantasy Flight Games is happy to announce the Lando Calrissian Commander Expansion!
This expansion contains everything you need to add Lando Calrissian as a commander of your Rebel armies, beginning with a beautifully sculpted, unpainted hard plastic miniature that reflects Calrissian’s unique sense of style. Not only will you find three different options for his signature cape, you’ll also be able to choose between two facial expressions and whether or not Calrissian appears reaching for his X-8 Night Sniper Pistol in its holster or has it at the ready.
While the miniature gives Calrissian a unique presence on the battlefield, other components, like his unit card and three signature command cards, represent his history as a gambler and his tendency to take high stakes risks. Finally, Lando Calrissian isn’t one to enter a fight unprepared, and this expansion also includes six upgrade cards that give him access to the gear and training he needs to take on any challenge.

Smooth Talking Smuggler
Lando Calrissian has taken on many leadership roles throughout his career, but none is more important than becoming a general in the Rebel Alliance. As he leads Rebel forces into battle, then, Calrissian’s long history as a smuggler and gambler clearly influences his leadership style.
No stranger to sneaking past Imperial patrols to deliver his cargo, it’s no surprise that Calrissian is well versed in Covert Ops and can choose to become an Operative to gain the Infiltrate keyword. Once he’s behind enemy lines, he can also rely on the Uncanny Luck of a gambler and his own Situational Awareness to overcome the limitation of rolling white defense dice. At the same time, he can also use his sharpshooting abilities to deliver deadly accurate return fire with his X-8 Night Sniper Pistol.
While these abilities enhance Lando Calrissian’s individual combat prowess, others set the tone for the whole Rebel army. Like every good gambler, Calrissian always has a backup plan and, when it comes to forming battle plans, he sets aside up to three additional command cards as contingencies. After revealing a command card, but before any other effects are resolved, Calrissian can then discard that card to reveal a contingency card with the same number of pips as the discarded card instead. This makes Lando Calrissian an exceptionally adaptable commander who can readily counter his opponents with careful planning and quick thinking.
