Fantasy Flight Games: A Closer Look at Army Building in Star Wars: Legion

“And now, Your Highness, we will discuss the location of your hidden Rebel base…”
–Darth Vader, Star Wars: A New Hope

Through the tabletop miniatures battles of Star Wars™: Legion, you have the chance to live out the greatest unsung battles of the Galactic Civil War. You can lead AT-STs stomping forward, firing massive barrages of lasers. You can send Rebel Troopers rushing forward out of trenches, led by Luke Skywalker. But before you ever fire a shot, you’ll need to assemble your soldiers into an army.

Across our series of previews for Star Wars: Legion, we’ve already taken a look at every aspect of gameplay, starting with the game’s challenging command system, and exploring movement, combat and morale, and establishing the battlefield. We gave in-depth previews of the game’s two factions—Galactic Empire and Rebel Alliance—as well as the unique command cards that come with every commander in the game. Today, we turn our attention to how you’ll take the units and command cards in your faction and use them to create an army!
