About the game
If your squad of ice soldiers still feels the chill, the Snowtroopers Unit expansion brings a battlefield heater straight from Hoth. You receive seven unpainted Snowtrooper miniatures, ready to form a single unit that can move at a constant speed and fire continuously. But the expansion doesn’t stop there: a set of upgrade cards lets you customize the squad with advanced gear, from high‑powered blasters to thermal shields that reduce enemy damage. Each Snowtrooper has its own set of abilities that shift as the battlefield evolves, adding an extra layer of strategy. The Action Points mechanic remains, but players can now use points more flexibly thanks to upgrade cards, which allow additional actions or movement bonuses. Game time ranges from 60 to 120 minutes, ideal for intense two‑player sessions that want to dive into an epic Star Wars conflict. Complexity is moderate to high, demanding focus on positioning details and resource use. If you already own Star Wars: Legion and want to upgrade your army, this expansion is what you’re missing. Get ready to face the Rebellion in extreme conditions and prove that Snowtroopers are the Empire’s toughest soldiers.
