The Organized Play program opens with five different facets, which we will cover more in the weeks to come.
- In-Store Early Demos. Beginning March 8th, two weeks before the official release, select retailers will offer demos of the game, where you can see the miniatures and learn the basics of movement and combat. (More details to follow on February 12th.)
- Launch Weekend. Immediately upon the game’s release, from March 22nd to March 25th, participating retailers will host three Launch Weekend activities, rewarding participants with commemorative prizes and the opportunity to claim the store for either the Galactic Empire or Rebel Alliance. (More details to follow on February 26th.)
- Legion at AdeptiCon. AdeptiCon will be hosting its own Launch Weekend activities, along with a series of other activities that make the convention an exciting opportunity for players looking to dive into Legion head first and bring their experiences back to their local communities. (More details to follow on March 5th.)
- In-Store Events. The in-store events at your local game store are the foundation of Star Wars: Legion Organized Play. Show up, participate, and play. These events kick off with the Star Wars™: Legion Recruitment Kit, which offers you the flexibility to run a weekly league, single-day events, or casual gaming. (More details to follow on March 12th.)
- Championship Events. There are many ways to enjoy your Legion battles, and players looking to test their skills against the galaxy’s best commanders will enjoy Championship Events. These large, spirited events offer top-level competition, as well as a path to the Star Wars: Legion World Championships! (Details to follow in April.)
Wow, three Launch Weekend activities sound like you could walk away with a grip of swag and even more if you win and the fact that in the end, the winner gets to claim his or her local game store for Galactic Empire or Rebel Alliance sounds pretty epic indeed. Then you can plan your weekly league, single-day events, or casual gaming with the Recruitment Kit. All kinds of awesome ways to play!
The Organized Play Kit for Star Wars Legion looks to be a great tool for local game stores to help promote and recruit new players for this epic new game. Make sure you don’t miss out on this opportunity to collect prizes and have a great time with this new game line from FFG.
