Deploying figures with new players

By Hatting, in Imperial Assault Campaign

Hey guys!

I've experience an issue with new players a couple of times and want to hear if you have experience the same and how you delt with it.

New players do not know what a Stormtrooper, or a Royal Guard can do. So when you for the first time deploy a new type of figure the rebels havent encountered before how do you present it to them?

What I have done is read it's abilities loud so they know the Royal Guard offers protection or that the Trando's cause strain, but it does not seem they really listen or catch on which can cause trouble for them later.

How do you present new deployments to your rebels?

Kind Regards

I just pass the card around or hand it out when requested.

I browse their character sheet too if I'm in doubt of my next move ;)

I guess if you've made the effort to explain what they've got in store for them and they still don't listen, it's sort of their fault if they get surprised by it later...
