Even though I didn't love the BFII campaign (and haven't read the book) I'd love to see this.

I love the weird stuff in this game. One of my favorite waves announcements was the droids one, and I hadn't even read the comics or watched Rebels back then.

You don't consider Death Troopers (boy do i hate that name) and ISB's to be Special Forces?

Can't remember ever saying I didn't.

I just bought the core game and all the ally/ villain packs for it. Got my roommates to play and they love it! I'm going to buy the first expansion when we finish our first campaign. So I think it still has a tons of popularity.

Yep IA is dead, Legion got the tauntaun rider before us

Press F to pay respects.

(obvious sarcasm, but also... ugh. I hate that game).

All Legion does for me is to continue to make new minis for Imperial Assault. I'm hoping every model in Imperial Assault comes to Legion so I can completely use higher quality Legion models.

It just sucks that they are not the same scale. FFG could have increased sales of both games by making the same scale and having players from either game buying alternative models. I have too many unplayed mini games to jump into another mini game so I skipped Legion.

IA miniatures have been creeping up to Legion's size. I've done a number of comparisons. If you base them on IA bases, and not the thicker Legion bases, they are not that dissimilar. Some are. I'm hoping Legion eventually creates all the same minis that are in IA, that way I can have figures in the same unit with different poses, which I like.

I might grab it then. I like that the original IA is about the same scale as the old WotC minis. Makes use in RPGs awesome, you can grab IA Boba Fett for ~$10 instead of from WotC for $40+ or you can have an army vs your heroes.

Depends on which WOTC Boba Fett you are looking for. The original Rebel Storm B-Fett and Boba Fett: Bounty Hunter are expensive, yes, but there are a couple of others , like Boba Fet: Mercenary that is much cheaper to acquire.

But the IA is cheaper than all of them by about 1/3; cheapest I have seen is $25 up to $75. I have a friend that buys IA to supplement his huge WotC collection for our RPG. Also nice to have minis for some IA tokens too.

I use my SWM collection for IA all the time. Whenever we create our own Deployment Cards, or when we just want to uses painted minis.

Same here! I still play the SWM game occasionally but it's nice to have second life for them in IA!
