About the game
When regular troops aren’t enough, the Rebels have an elite squad ready to strike where it matters most: the enemy’s head. The *Star Wars: Legion – Rebel Commandos* expansion brings seven commando miniatures, plus unit and upgrade cards that let you customize your army with even more flair. You can field a four‑man squad or a two‑man strike team, each equipped with special weapons that change the tide of battle. Whether you pick a deadly sniper or a saboteur, the expansion offers combat options that demand tactical thinking and creativity. The action‑point mechanic keeps the pace flowing, while campaign and battle cards add random events that make every game unique. If you already own the base game and want to deepen the experience, this expansion is the right choice for fans of miniature aesthetics and galactic conflict tension.

The expansion doesn’t replace the base game; it fits perfectly, adding new strategic possibilities and iconic characters from the saga. Playtime increases by about 20 to 30 minutes, depending on how many campaign cards you use. If you enjoy games that require careful planning and fast action, you’ll love every minute.

In short, the expansion offers new miniatures, campaign cards, and upgrades that keep the game fresh and exciting. If you have the base game and want more challenges, this expansion will surprise you with tactics that only Rebel commanders know how to execute.
