About the game

What you do in a play session

The Alliance Rangers are the Rebellion's elite marksmen, masters of long‑range combat and guerrilla tactics. This Ally Pack introduces four Ranger miniatures, each with a unique set of abilities that let them take out Stormtroopers, disable Imperial devices, or provide precise fire support for allies. Character sheets feature powers such as "Precision Shot" and "Cover," which can swing the outcome of a mission. In addition to the new heroes, the pack adds three fully‑fledged missions: an infiltration of an Imperial outpost on Ithor, a clash in the swamps of Nal Hutta, and an operation across the dunes of Tatooine. All scenarios make use of Imperial Assault's modular board, allowing the map to be assembled in countless configurations and boosting replay value. The missions bring fresh objectives—silencing an Imperial radar, rescuing prisoners, etc.—that force players to think carefully about positioning and resource management. As with every Imperial Assault expansion, the Ally Pack requires the Core Set but no other expansions, although some missions reference content from Jabba's Realm. With a 3/5 weight rating, the complexity is moderate: the rules are familiar to veterans of the system, yet still present tactical challenges for groups of 2‑5 players. Playtime varies by scenario, typically ranging from 45 to 90 minutes. In short, the Alliance Rangers Ally Pack is a tactical boost that enriches both epic campaigns and fast‑paced skirmishes, delivering new characters, maps and narratives for anyone eager to press the Empire further.
