The Dejark Table

A lot of fans want to see their favorite character brought to IA (let's go Team Cad Bane!).  The problem is, Star Wars is so huge- we have the main films, the spinoffs, Rebels, the comics, the books, the video games... then there's all of Legends.  Frankly, it's overwhelming, and there's a case to be made that we're hitting a point of diminishing returns with the allies and villains in the game, at least from a campaign standpoint- with only a few side missions per campaign and story missions only implementing core and expansion-specific material, the appearance of allies and villains remains somewhat limited. Stuff like Greedo and the Grand Inquisitor's "summoning" Agenda cards, the Nemesis class deck , and Murne Rin's Company of Heroes help with getting the heroes out that we want, but we still have the issue of why we need to have more characters and units in the game.  I think there are a few classes of thought on this.   One gro

At this year's In Flight Report at GenCon2017, Fantasy Flight Games confirmed the rumor of a Star Wars tabletop minis wargame by announcing Star Wars Legion .  Reception to the game has been mixed, to say the least, though.  While many fans are extremely excited for a more traditional Star Wars wargame, some gamers see this as a bit redundant given the similarity of scale and subject with Imperial Assault, while many IA players themselves are worried about what this new development will mean for their game.  To see what exactly all the fuss about Legion is about, I figured that this week I could examine some of the elements people are concerned with. Scale For a long time, fans have been considering the possibility of a tabletop miniatures wargame featuring the Star Wars IP.  From the split with Games Workshop to the rumor of painter Sorastro working closely with FFG on a new project, there was plenty of speculation on how Star Wars could be brought to a more traditional tab

All right, I've already posted some articles giving advice to Imperials.  I'll start to look a little biased if I don't put out some Rebels content, so (as much as it pains me to give Rebel's advice) here we go! One of the most tempting characters to play as in Imperial Assault, both from her aesthetics and utility, is Diala Passil.  After all, who wouldn't want to be a Jedi if given the chance? She has a badass sculpt, the chance to earn a lightsaber, some incredible abilities, and one of the coolest red missions in the game!  As a testament to one of the most prolific heroes in the game, I've decided to feature her as the first subject of my Rebel campaign hero analysis series of articles, Profiles in Hope . A quick glance at Diala's hero sheet shows that she's no pushover.  She has good health and perhaps even better endurance (which she'll need for all of her powerful abilities).  Her biggest weaknesses are probably her spee
