Hey, I have a lot of Imperial Assault, but I still don’t have some of the characters packs. I love the game; I’m sad that there won’t be any more official releases from FFG.

Am I missing something essential? (Either for cards or general gameplay unit). Asking before everything is out of stock everywhere.

Here is what I DON’T have:

• Royal Guard Champion
• Rebel Troopers
• Storm Troopers
• Saboteurs
• Bantha Rider
• Kayn Somos
• Hired Guns
• Wookie Warriors
• Leia
• Dengar
• Echo Base Troopers
• General Sorin
• Obi-Wan
• Grand Inquisitor
• ISB-Infiltrators
• Bossk
• Lando
• BT-1 and 0-0-0
• Maul

And I have 3 maps (can’t remember which ones).

Thank you for your advice!

You need it all!! Hehe. Especially if you don’t mind playing around with the new IACP!

That said, I don’t have everything either. I buy what I think I wanna play. Get Stormtroopers for Set for Stun CC. ISB Infiltrators for CC if you like playing Spies. Maul has some nice melee CC as well I think.

I would perhaps Also get the Bantha, a bit for variation and also for the Beast tamer that is truly a lot of fun.

In terms of what's actually "essential", it sounds like you have plenty to play the game. Other than the Core Set, going from memory, I'd say "essentials" are Return to Hoth (for Negation Command card), Jabba's Realm (for various Hunter groups and cards), and Tyrants of Lothal (for Spectre Cell Deployment card and the Spectres themselves). But it sounds like you have all of those.

You may also wish to make sure you have all the current tournament maps (I don't suppose they'll ever change again as FFG won't be running more OP). I can't remember which packs they appear in, and you have a few maps anyway. But if you're not actually intending to play in a tournament, one skirmish map is as good as another.

So much for "essential". As for "best value" from the list you've given, I'd say:

• Stormtroopers (for Set to Stun Command card)
• Bantha Rider (always fun)
• Hired Guns (cheap, fast figure for Scum)
• Wookiee Warriors (because everyone loves Wookiees)

...and anything else you can afford / get hold of. Every single Ally or Villain pack has content for both campaign and skirmish (if not always of comparable utility) so it's difficult to go wrong.

I agree that everyone loves wookies.

Just get what you want to play with. But find it before it's gone, because they said no more re-prints.

If you want to check the contents for any of the packs that you don't have, an easy spot to do that is boardwars.

When did no new physical content become no reprints? Sad if true.

Make your own assessment: https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2019/9/6/scry-the-future/

Reprints are very unlikely.

Thank you for the suggestions. In the same idea, which playmat skirmish is the best in your opinion and why?

I bought a couple of playmats, but i prefer to print them off. It's a bit more economical, and you can get any one that you want. There's details in the linked thread on that

The best maps in my book are ISB Headquarters and Mos Eisley back alleys. Both are interesting maps with objectives that are both straight forward and very interactive.
