Which tokens for skirmish?

By taylorcowbell, in Star Wars: Imperial Assault

Hi,

I recently got the core box and the twin shadows, and Im trying to sort the campaign stuff out (dont really plan on using it) and putting it in my shadows box. Theres lots of tokens and cards though, so im not 100% sure which goes in which box.

So far I have deduced that story and side missions, agenda, hero and imperial class, item supply and reward cards go in the campaign pile, and deployment, command, skirmish mission and condition cards go in my skirmish pile, so I think I have the cards all fine.

Its the tokens that Im not really sure about. activation is clearly for campaign, but what about crate, terminal and mission tokens? Is strain used in skirmish or is it just damage?

Thanks alot

Terminal are used in campaign and skirmish. Crate is definitely used in campaign- not sure if they're on any skirmish maps. Mission tokens are used for both too, I believe

There are a few skirmish maps that use crates, as well as both types of mission tokens and terminals. So to answer your question, all of the tokens other than the four activation tokens and the blue rebel entry point token are used in skirmish (and all except the initiative token are used in campaign).

Edit: Also I forgot a big one - you don't need any of the blue strain tokens for skirmish either. Units can still take strain, but in skirmish that means the choice of either suffering a damage or discarding a command card from the top of your deck.

Actually, skirmish can use strain tokens to mark various things, like when an already defeated figure gets "reinforced" (placed back into the map, skirmish doesn't have an actual reinforcement mechanism).

But they are used as counters and not to denote strain.

Aside from activation tokens, there aren't really any other tokens that aren't used in skirmish. Not all skirmish missions will use all tokens though, some tokens are only used in specific missions.

The Royal Guard Champion map uses strain too. but yeah they're just counters in skirmish when they show up so you can just use whatever as long as all players know what's up.
