## Description
For all you Star Wars buffs who dive into Imperial Assault, get ready to bring two of the saga's most iconic droids to your tabletop battles! The R2-D2 and C-3PO Ally Pack introduces these beloved figures to your game, not just for display, but to genuinely impact your gameplay. This expansion packs new command cards that unlock exciting strategies for the skirmish mode, alongside a fresh map featuring two unique missions. Campaign players will find more to love with an added side mission and the ability to field R2-D2 and C-3PO as loyal allies fighting alongside your heroes. The miniatures are, as expected, highly detailed, and the cards bring added depth to both team-based skirmishes and solo adventures. Keep in mind this is an ally pack and not a standalone game; you'll need the Imperial Assault Core Set to play. Also, a heads-up: some missions might require the Twin Shadows expansion, so be aware of that! If you enjoy expanding your tactical options and having more heroes (or, in this case, droids) to command, this addition is a must-have.
