## Description
The Chewbacca Ally Pack drops in as a heavyweight upgrade for anyone already hooked on Imperial Assault. Instead of the generic ally token from the base game, you receive a highly detailed plastic mini of the galaxy's most charismatic Wookiee, ready to roar his way into missions. Alongside the figure, the pack adds exclusive command cards that give Chewie abilities distinct from standard allies, opening up fresh tactical options. The real draw is the new scenarios: two for the campaign – one stopping the Empire from enslaving Kashyyyk's wookiees and another sending the team into an Imperial labor camp – plus two for skirmish mode, expanding the tactical playground. Because the base game already uses a modular board, these missions slot seamlessly into existing maps while spicing up the narrative. Dice‑rolling remains the core resolution mechanic, and Chewbacca's variable player powers add that “each player has a secret weapon” feel. The expansion carries a light weight (2.7/5) and a similar playtime to the core set (about 60 minutes), suitable for 2‑5 players. In short, if you love card‑driven campaigns and want one of Star Wars' most beloved characters on the battlefield, this pack delivers without overcomplicating the experience.
