Cards, cards everywhere and no idea what to do......

By bennykenobi, in Imperial Assault Campaign

Hi All,

After trawling ebay and similar sites for many months I happened upon a bargain. Second hand I got the core box and twin shadows PLUS ALL the associated Ally and Villain Packs upto TS. My problem is I don't know how best to handle all the extra stuff.

In Campaign:

Should I use all my cards (Item, supply etc.) or should I keep the twin shadows stuff separate until I start that campaign?

Is their any issues using the Imperial Class deck from Twin Shadows in the Core campaign?

Obviously I'm new to the game and I'm finding the number of different card enough to get my head around without all the extras. There are probably questions here that I don't even know enough to ask.

I'd really appreciate some help,

Cheers!

Benny

It's all compatible and fine to use. Note that unique figures (dot beside name on card) like Boba Fett require being "won" in order to use during campaign.

As a caution, the agenda set Imperial Industry shouldn't be used until it gets errataed as it is far too powerful being able to constantly stun the heroes with your 2 point storm troopers. Even more so if you're using class decks with attachments that give bonus surges like Shock Troopers or Shadow Armor.

You don't need the extra content with the core campaign, but it also does not hurt to include everything in their respective supplies, except it maybe gives the imperial player too many choices too early, i.e. you need to make choices without knowing yet what you're doing (how to value different features of units - abilities versus costs).

Awesome! Thanks for the advice.

I'm in a similar situation so rather than start a new thread I'll kindly hijack... ;)

The above answers several of my Qs. THANK YOU!

But what about heroes? About to start core campaign with my kids, should I let them pick the four heroes from all options (I actually have all 4 box sets)? Or just the core? Or maybe even just a couple boxes' options but not all 4?

You can use any heroes in any campaigns.

(Preferably have exactly 4 heroes regardless the number of rebel players.)
