Star Wars: Legion (Base Game) - Command Your Troops in Epic Battles! Tabletop Miniatures Game, Strategy Game for Kids and Adults, Ages 14+, 2 Players, 3 Hour Playtime, Made by Atomic Mass Games
  • ENTER THE STAR WARS GALAXY: Epic warfare is an inescapable part of the Star Wars universe. Star Wars: Legion invites you to enter the ground battles of the Galactic Civil War as the commander of a unique army of miniatures filled with troopers, powerful ground or repulsor vehicles, and iconic characters like Darth Vader or Luke Skywalker.
  • THRILLING INFANTRY BATTLES: Lead your troops to victory! Innovative mechanics for command and control simulate the fog of war and the chaos of battle - whether you fight for the monolithic, oppressive Galactic Empire or the ragtag Rebel Alliance.
  • BEAUTIFULLY SCULPTED MINIATURES: Thirty-three easily assembled figures invite you to play as the Galactic Empire or the Rebel Alliance. The unpainted, easily assembled minis give you a canvas to create the Star Wars army you’ve always wanted to lead into battle.
  • INCLUDES LUKE SKYWALKER AND DARTH VADER: Each of these iconic Star Wars characters pose with lightsabers drawn, ready to duel each other or anyone unlucky enough to cross their path. These miniatures are found exclusively in the Core Set.
  • NUMBER OF PLAYERS AND AVERAGE PLAYTIME: This action-packed battle game is designed for two players and is suitable for ages 14 and older. Average playing time is about 3 hours.
