New Star Wars Expansion – Twin Shadows

The Scum is here! Come see the newest Expansion for Imperial Assault. Introducing Twin Shadows

“Mos Eisley spaceport. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.”
–Obi-Wan Kenobi, Star Wars: A New Hope

Venture into the depths of Mos Eisley spaceport in Twin Shadows, a new expansion for Imperial Assault!Twin Shadows invites the heroes of the Rebellion to journey to the desert planet of Tatooine in search of Han Solo, who disappeared during a routine information-gathering mission. You’ll need all your skills to defeat the threats that Han Solo has discovered lurking in Mos Eisley.

In our first preview of Twin Shadows, we looked at the two new Rebel heroes who bravely oppose the forces of the Galactic Empire. Today, however, we turn to the dark side and explore the new figures, Agenda cards, and Class cards that the Imperial player can use to destroy the Rebel Alliance in anyImperial Assault game.

Outfitted for War

As the Imperial player, you command Stormtroopers in countless missions, both in the Imperial Assaultcampaign and in skirmishes. The Stormtroopers’ squad tactics can be harnessed to unleash a fusillade of laser fire, but sometimes, you need Troopers that have a little more durability than the standard Stormtrooper. In Twin Shadows, your armies of Troopers receive a valuable boost with the Heavy Stormtroopers .

These Imperial soldiers are given intensive training and equipped with much heavier weaponry and armor than their brethren. This heavier equipment slows the Heavy Stormtroopers’ movement, but their increased firepower and health more than make up for the loss in mobility. Because Heavy Stormtroopers roll a blue die and a red die when attacking, they receive a constant accuracy boost to allow their attacks to reach further targets. A Heavy Stormtrooper can also spend surges to deal more damage or affect adjacent figures as well as the original target.

Claim Mos Eisley

The planets of the Outer Rim have existed too long outside of Imperial control. Bring the Empire’s regime to Tatooine with the new figures and cards that the Imperials receive in Twin Shadows. 

As the story of Twin Shadows unfolds, both sides are aided by iconic heroes and villains, featured in Ally Packs and Villain Packs. In our next preview, we’ll take a look at the galaxy’s most dangerous bounty hunter: Boba Fett!
