Star Wars: Legion brings the Galactic Civil War to the tabletop as a focused two-player miniatures battle. The original core set supplies Rebel and Imperial forces led by Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, along with troopers, vehicles, barricades, command cards, movement tools, range rulers, dice, and the tokens needed to begin. Players build armies and a command hand, then each round secretly choose a command card that determines priority and how many units receive face-up orders. Units without orders contribute tokens to a randomized pool, creating the game’s central tension between control and uncertainty. Activations combine movement, attacks, aims, dodges, standby, and unit abilities; terrain, cover, suppression, weapon keywords, and line of sight make positioning decisive. Battle cards define deployment, conditions, and objectives, and six rounds force each commander to balance casualties against scenario points. The miniatures arrive unpainted and require assembly, rewarding hobby work while supporting a broad expandable roster.
