[i]2018/09/17 - 9 plays at 3-4p[/i] The game has great minis and components in general. I played the base campaign, and became gradually disillusioned with the game, because of an increasing imbalance between the Empire and the Rebellion. The four last plays were smashing defeats for the Rebellion, which was boring for everyone. In the end we did not even play the final scenario, even though it was the only one remaining to finish the campaign. Another problem was rules fiddlyness. Even after 9 plays we were still checking edge cases, slowing down the pace of the game. It seems the skirmish mode is really good, and there also a cooperative mode available with an app, but I did not try any of those play modes.

Excellent "dungeon-crawl" with a Star Wars theme. Beautiful components and 2 games in 1 (Campaign + Skirmish).

Where X-Wing drops you into the cockpit of iconic Star Wars snubfighters and Armada puts you in command of entire fleets, Imperial Assault takes you right down to the adventures on the ground that are so central to Star Wars. Both sides are incredibly fun to play, with the ragtag band of heroes earning experience and accomplishing missions while the Imperial player deploys all the might of the Empire to stop them. The box is also two games in one, and the skirmish ruleset is nothing to sneeze at.
