The wait for a Wave 6 announcement seems intense?

By EpicBubbleSA, in Star Wars: Imperial Assault

Not that I would ever think of encouraging speculation. But its a bit weird that there has not been a Wave 6 announcement.

Are they waiting for the championships to be over?

Are they waiting for the next Starwars Movie to come out?

Are they waiting for Return to Hoth to come out?

Wave 1 through to 5 seemed to be announced almost every second day and now there is nothing :(

I am thinking they are waiting for either closer to the movie release or after it is released. Either way it gives me time to finish painting the other figures I already have. I am curious as to what will be released for wave 6. I'm wondering if they will rerelease a core set based on the force awakens like they did in star wars x-wing. Either way I will be purchasing them.

I'm just hoping some really cool things are in the work. Whatever it is, I'm likely already in.

kylo ren, general hux, first order troopers (of all types), and captain plasma for the empire. poe, finn, rey, bb-8, and resistance troopers once the movie comes out. that would be nice, even though it's a bit much. 12 packs total by my count so far.

I agree Wave 6 would be exciting. But I am honestly more interested in some preview articles for Return to Hoth. I feel like we have such little information on that expansion. I want to know how the new Rebel Hero's play out, the new Imperial Class decks, campaign structure. I must admit I am very excited about that big box expansion.

Well, eagerly as I do keep checking the news page, I actually like it. I hope they start previewing things just a week or so before they hit the shops!

The Wave 4 previews aren't even out yet!

Pshhh we're still waiting on previews for Wave 4 and 5 and Return to Hoth.

We had a ton of announcements in a very short time. The fact they dried up is not surprising nor anything to be concerned about.

Fantasy Flight has plenty of other games - if you check the main news page, there's a several new articles almost every day.

Whether or not FA will be in IA has been a topic of much debate. I am on the side of thinking that it will not make it into the game. However, I personally think that FA would lend itself better to a ground combat game, either like WotC's SWM or Avalon Hill's Axis and Allies Miniatures (preferably the latter).

I wouldn't mind Captain Rex from the clone wars cartoons or any of the ghosts crew from rebels.

Hmm, a new starter box would make indeed sense, they could ride the Ep VII wave for sure!

I would like a Rebels expansion more, but that might change after the movie.
