This is actually an incredible deal when you consider what is included. In short – you MAY not need to buy 4x Stormtrooper Expansion packs. Considering this game does have a few mechanics in common with Runewars, and seemingly a very similar distribution method, I wouldn’t be surprised to see upgrades in these expansions show up in multiple different boxes. The upgrade cards they DID have were shared among multiple expansions. Some individual core set unit expansions didn’t have a single exclusive upgrade card. However, I will note that in their latest miniatures game, Runewars, this actually was not so much the case. We can expect they will likely do something similar this time around. In the past, FFG has almost always thrown out a few exclusive upgrade cards in each expansion pack, to give you an incentive to buy an expansion for a miniature you already own. So why not just buy 3 and keep it simple? So right away it would seem like THREE Core Sets would grant you the maximum number of Corps and Support units. There are other restrictions for other types of units, but for this article I’m focusing just on the Core Set. You can have up to 3 Support Units (the AT-RT, or Speeder Bikes), and a maximum of 6 Corps. So right away you’ll need more than the Core Set comes with. You’ll need at least 1 Commander, which each faction gets in the Core Set(Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader), and you’ll need a minimum of 3 Corps units (Stormtroopers, or Rebel Troopers, respectively). However you also won’t be able to do without stormtroopers either. This means in the case of the empire, you can’t just build an army completely full of stormtroopers. Legion also has minimums and maximums for units. You have the option of playing a smaller point game if you want, but keep in mind that official play will be at the 800 point cost. The Core set will get you about halfway there. You’ll want to get as close to 800 points as you can. In terms of Miniatures, it has Vader, Luke, 2x Stormtrooper Units, 2x Rebel Trooper Units, an AT-RT, and a Speeder Bike Unit.Ī standard game has an 800 point limit. The Core Set comes with rules, tokens, cards, and all teh essentials to get you started.
