separatist fighter squadron feature rThe Separatist Fighter Squadrons will swarm the enemy into oblivion! They may not be big, but they are deadly.

If you’ve been waiting to get into the game, now is the time with all the new starter sets and rules coming! If you’ve already been playing, well, you have been getting tons of options to expand your forces. It’s just a really fun game and now with all the additions, each game will have tons of variety. 

Today, the Separatist Squadrons fly into action, ready to swarm the bigger ships and take everything down with them. These ships can even swarm the most experienced of Jedi with their sheer numbers. Don’t let their size fool you, they make up for it in plenty of other ways. Let’s take a closer look at the announcement from FFG:

Separatist Fighter Squadrons:

This expansion gives you access to eight additional Separatist fighter squadrons, including two Hyena-class Droid Bomber squadrons, two Droid Tri-Fighter squadrons, two Belbullab-22 Starfighter squadrons, and an additional two Vulture-class Droid Fighter squadrons. The Separatists are always looking for ways to improve their droid starfighters, and 10 squadron cards invite you to choose between four standard squadrons and six more exotic and experimental variants.

The Cards:

PilotsWhat Droid fleet would be complete without General Grievous? It’s always fun to be able to play a well-known character in your games!

That does it for this one. If you’ve been looking for some cheap units, these are the way to go!
