Imperial Assault is a super fun game. It also has two parts to it, Skirmish and Campaign. On this post I will be talking about skirmishes. Imperial assault is a game that is on a flat board. You make your own board and then chose your army. Your army will fight the opponents army. To make your army you and the opponents have to set the amount of points that you will make your army with. In your army your people (solders) will have a data card. That card will tell you its stats. For example the amount of points it is worth, its attack, its health, its speed, and its blocking power. In a skirmish you can be going for different objectives. In a simple skirmish the objective will be to destroy all of the opponents solders. In other skirmishes the objective might be different (there will be skirmish cards that you will be given).
HEADS UP: his game is super big and complicated. If you like simple games this is not the game for you.
