About the game

Star Wars: Legion is a tabletop miniatures wargame that puts players in command of full-scale infantry battles in the Star Wars universe, leading iconic characters like Darth Vader or Luke Skywalker alongside troopers and vehicles. Innovative command and control mechanics simulate the fog of war, while unpainted, modular miniatures let players build and customize their own Rebel or Imperial armies. Designed for two players, it delivers deep tactical combat alongside a huge hobby and army-building component. A must for fans of Star Wars and competitive miniatures gaming.
