About the game
The TIE Punisher is the most powerful iteration of the infamous TIE Bomber, and the expansion delivers a pre‑painted miniature, four ship cards, and nine explosive upgrades that will leave your opponents in pieces. It comes with extra armor, a second bomb chute, and three ammo pods, each powered by twin ion engines, giving it more payload and speed. The ship cards let you customize the TIE with upgrades like Advanced Sensors, which grants an extra boost to position a bomb right in front of the target and then dash away at high speed. The action queue and simultaneous action selection mechanics keep the game unpredictable and tense, as all players make decisions at the same time. Dice rolling, movement templates, and player elimination add to the intense, strategic combat environment. If you love Star Wars, 3‑D miniatures, and high‑speed aerial battles, the TIE Punisher is the perfect addition to your table. Just remember that the expansion can increase complexity and playtime, so a bit of experience with the core is recommended before diving in.
