Fantasy Flight Games just gave us a preview of Leia Organa for Star Wars: Legion and she is the strong, capable commander that lead the fight for the Rebels on the tabletop.
The latest expansion preview from Fantasy Flight Games provides us with a closer look at the inspiring Leia Organa. The Leia Organa Commander Expansion comes with a single, unpainted miniature, new upgrade cards, and three new command cards to allow her to shine on the battlefield. For Star Wars: Legion, an army can have two commanders; which means you can have your Rebels led by Skywalker and Organa in tandem.
Leia is fully capable of defending herself with excellent hand to hand combat skills and her short-range sporting blaster. Her true skills lie in leading armies with an array of abilities that are more defensive and inspiring. She has Inspire 2, which removes up to two suppression tokens from nearby friendly units. This will keep your units ready to fight, even if they are under fire.
Leia comes with three unique command cards that enhance her abilities to defensively coordinate her forces defensively, inspire them to act outside of their normal activations, or use her rank in the Alliance to have bombardments called in to shatter Imperial positions and armor. FFG will have more previews of her upgrade and command cards in a future preview.
Leia Organa Commander Expansion: $12.95
From Alderaanian diplomat to leader of the Rebel Alliance, Leia Organa’s legacy has been one of inspiration, heroism, self-sacrifice, and leadership. Along with Han Solo and Luke Skywalker, her actions directly led to the ultimate downfall of the Galactic Empire—so it’s only fitting that she takes her place in Star Wars: Legion as the Rebellion’s second commander, battling alongside Luke Skywalker.
Inside the Leia Organa Commander Expansion, you’ll find everything that you need to add Leia Organa to your army as a commander. A single unpainted, easily assembled miniature beautifully represents Leia Organa on the battlefield, while new upgrade cards allow you to customize how she is represented in the game. Finally, a hand of three new command cards lets you add a unique touch to your overarching strategies, bringing some of Leia Organa’s own unique tactics to your games. Releasing alongside the Fleet Troopers Unit Expansion, these two expansions promise new tactics for the Rebellion to employ in their struggles for freedom.
The Leia Organa Commander Expansion is available now to pre-order online or at your FLGS.
