What to buy with Hoth

By FreddieG, in Star Wars: Imperial Assault

I know, I know, another "what to buy" thread....

But I'm ordering the Hoth Expansion, and wonder if there are one or two other wave packs that I should order with it, initially, that you can't imagine using the little chips for.

(I know I'll eventually get it all... )

Thanks!

Edit, I have Core+:

  • Han
  • Chewie
  • Rebel Sabs
  • Wookies
  • IG-88
  • Royal Guard Champ
  • C-3PO / R2

A pack of Echo Base troopers would probably be a good bet.

And if you play Skirmish as well, grabbing Leia is a must.

I've heard Dengar gets a *lot of facetime in Hoth, but I've not got a chance to play the campaign myself.

Both of the above are sound advice (having only read thru the missions; still waiting to get to it in campaign).

I'd also suggest getting the Hired Guns villain pack based on your current collection since they can be added as an open group without being "earned" in a mission. Just for a little variety if you so choose.

Thanks, I've been seeing more and more of those Hired Guns being mentioned. I'll have to add them to the list.

Thanks for the advice!

So which out of Sorin, Leia, Dengar and the Echo troops have the most board time in Campaign play?

Running low on funds and want to know which packs to order with R.t.H. box

The fact that hired guns will always get a shot off makes them a reasonable choice sometimes as there will always be situations when you have to sacrifice something or use something as a screen.

Dengar is in 8 of the scenarios from the campaign guide.

Sorin shows up in 4.

Of the three missions that are static to the campaign, Dengar is in all 3 and Sorin is in two.

Dengar and the echo base are must in the beginning and then buy sorin at the end :)

A little variety, they're an auto-include for me.

Update: I went with Leia and Echo Base Troopers. Then got the Hoth set and found that the first mission calls for Dengar. So that one's showing up today *shaking head. Guess the answer is just get em all, especially if you've made it this far.

I'd recommend buying whatever the tokens are in Hoth.

Moving tokens around sucks, you got to have figures.
