By The Cocky Rooster, in Star Wars: Imperial Assault

Where can I get this...in Canada? Is it?/will it ever be available?

They can barely get the Skirmish mats, that they actually mass produce, to Canada lol

Probably limited to Gencon~

Story of our lives up here ?‍♂️

Even The mats they gave out to the top eight players are awesome. They are essentially blank (with Vader and Ashoka) so you could easily use them for your tiles or for campaign. I would absolutely pay money for one of those so I can honestly say I'm super jealous of those who won them.

Sent you a pm

I know it wouldn't be perfectly to scale, but I'd love to have an expansion that included a large, blank tiled neoprene map in it, and regular tiles that could be assembled into various freighters, allowing for missions and skirmish maps that could facilitate ship to ship combat and boarding.

Kinda like Descent's Sea of Blood, only better thought out.

Spoilers for Jabba's Realm....

I really liked how they did some of the missions in Jabba's Realm with skiffs coming and going throughout. One mission in particular was cool (was it one of the finales?) where if I remember correctly you can actually pilot the skiffs relative to the main map and fire shots from them. It sounds like your idea could be building on that sort of thing, which is definitely something that I'd be interested in!

Yes, I believe that was the "if the Imperial won the second-to-last mission" finale.

Yeah, I guess it is kinda like that, but I'd imagine the conflict all taking place on one plane.

For instance, here's a shot from The Sea of Blood with Descent:

Each side gets a ship, and I believe the ships can fire at each other, move, and even board each other- or, at least, I hope they can do all of those things!

It could be really cool to have stuff like terminals on ship that can be used to fire canons on either side, with rules similar to X-Wing/Armada's firing arcs. Maybe once critical systems had been damaged, a ship would begin losing functionality, or maybe even life support would begin to fail causing slow damage to everyone on board.

Plus, would be a great way to bring in pilot models and units like Ackbar/Tarkin. :)

I was Imp when we played, vs. Onar & Vinto and it was a blast :) (Except, we made a couple of mistakes which meant I crushed the Rebels pretty badly towards the end; hint, make sure you, a) understand mission rules correctly, and b) maximize your hero's abilities & strengths :)

Thanks for the tips. Our party is Onar, Vinto, Verena & Drakkotta

Sounds like fun!

That's a pretty strong gang :D Note that both Vinto & Verena are a little fiddly, so make sure their players get them right. Also make sure not to overestimate Onar's insane Health stat; he is a LOT squishier than he looks ;) Drokkatta is pretty great overall, however, and she'll do fine :)
