Imperial Assault: Return to Hoth

By patox, in Star Wars: Imperial Assault

Just announced at GenCon. Coming out in Fall.

Leia and Dengar, party time!

Next fall? So we'll get it march 2016 then right?

Goddammit.

They're already scraping the bottom of the barrel if we are getting Dengar.

Thanks!

General Veers. ATAT pilot in ESB.

Is this a big box, or another small box like two shadows? It's a little hard to tell from the pics.

They said the campaign in this would be the same size as the one that comes with the core set.

Big, like the main game.

You mean we're getting ATATs? I'm going to need a bigger table...

Hmm, somewhat disappointing... but it is Return to Hoth.

Big, like the main game.

Curious, where did they say this would be like the core? It looks to be the same size as Twin Shadows.

They stated big box on their twitter account, but isn't that in comparison to the individual character expansions.

No. You have to look at Descent to compare. A big box is a full campaign. While there will still be less figures than the base game, it will still have more content than Twin Suns.

Yeah in the inflight they said the campaign would be a full blown one, the same size as the one that comes with the core. Opposed to the Twin Suns which is a mini-campaign I guess only 5 missions.

Looks like I and a lot of others called this. Big box expansion in Hoth to be announced at Gencon.

From the picture I have on my phone it is General Sorin. It is not Veers.

Not at all.

It's fairly obvious that they are staggering the release of characters. If they released all the important characters up front it would be harder to generate excitement down the line.

Likewise, the bounty hunters are the most recognizable scum characters from the OT, so it make since to stagger their release as well so that they have named scum characters for upcoming waves

Is that a... 2-1B with a gun?

Ah, did I misshear? So the campaign will be as big, but we shouldn't expect as many models, or board pieces (or price)?

Know what I like? Some companies would have made sure they got an absolutely perfect model to show of, even if it wasn't representative of what customers should expect, but not FFG, they're happy to show us with with a massively bent cannon! :)
