Special Operations card question.

By Doctor X, in Imperial Assault Rules Questions

The card text says "Leader only." I always consider the possibility that I'm wrong or missed something, however, have not been able to find another reference to the word "Leader" in any of the books. Do I just point to one of the models and say "Ok, that's my Leader?" Or is it something else?

Leader is a trait listed on the deployment card in the upper right. For example, Darth Vader has the traits of Force User, Leader, Brawler. I believe the only Imperial characters that have the Leader trait at this point are Darth Vader, General Weiss, and the Imperial Officer.

Thanks. Wasn't in the Rules Reference Guide.

Deployment Cards

All figures except heroes have corresponding Deployment cards.

These cards list the figure’s name, group size, abilities, Speed,

Health, Defense, and attack.

• Since W Deployment cards have a different back from U

Deployment cards, the Rebel players will know how many W

and U cards are in the Imperial player’s hand and in reserve.

• Elite Deployment cards have a red border. All other

Deployment cards are regular Deployment cards and have

gray borders.

• Deployment cards list a number of traits under the name

(such as Trooper ). Traits have no gameplay effect but may be

referred to by other components.
