About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey there, Star Wars fan! Ready to boost your Imperial Assault campaign? The Alliance Smuggler Ally Pack is here, bringing a smuggler to give the Rebel Alliance a helping hand. You know how it is, right? Not everything is direct combat; sometimes, you gotta rely on those who know the ropes, and this guy is a master of covert missions, supply runs, and even getting out of sticky situations.

This expansion adds a brand-new miniature that will help you achieve objectives requiring discretion and agility. Think of him as that friend who always has a Plan B (or C, or D!) to get you out of trouble. He can be crucial for delivering weapons and medicine to beleaguered planets, safely transporting important leaders, or even holding his own if things heat up and combat becomes unavoidable.

The Alliance Smuggler isn't just another piece on the board; he brings new strategies to your game, whether in campaign mode, where every ally counts to turn the tide, or in quick skirmishes that test your tactics. He complements the base game, adding another layer of depth and options for those who already enjoy the Imperial Assault universe. If you want to bring more life and choices to your rebellion, this pack is a great reinforcement!
