Fantasy Flight is adding to its already impressive Star Wars lineup with a brand new game called Star Wars: Legion and fans now have their first look.

Star Wars: Legion is a two player miniatures game that puts the emphasis on strategy and army management skills. As either the Empire or the Rebellion, you’ll maneuver, flank, and attack over six rounds as you claim objectives, and how you build out your army will heavily affect your chances at totaling the most points.

“Star Wars: Legion is the culmination of a lot of effort and aspirations,” said Andrew Navaro, the Fantasy Flight Games Head of Studio. “We’ve wanted to do a ground-based miniatures game set in the Star Wars universe for a long time—to allow players to command multiple squads of Stormtroopers or Rebel Commandos and fight the many unheralded battles of the Galactic Civil War. This game gives players the chance to do that, and it opens the door for them to engage with the hobby aspect of a miniatures game by encouraging them to paint and customize their miniatures.”

As Navaro mentions, you won’t just be controlling individuals in Legion, but squads of units all at once. That said, Fantasy Flight wants the game to be new-player-friendly and has developed a few systems for the game in that vein.
