4. Gameplay Overview

Star Wars: Legion is a tabletop miniatures strategy game where players command armies of iconic Star Wars characters, vehicles, and troops in epic ground battles. This Battle Force set provides a pre-selected group of units designed to function cohesively as a Rebel army.

To play Star Wars: Legion, you will need the Star Wars: Legion Core Set, which contains the essential rules, dice, and movement tools. This Echo Base Defenders Battle Force set expands your options and provides a themed army ready for deployment.

The game involves strategic movement, dice-based combat, and the use of Command and Upgrade Cards to influence the battle. Players take turns activating units, issuing orders, and resolving attacks to achieve objectives.

5. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will ensure the longevity of your Star Wars: Legion miniatures and components.

• Cleaning: Dust miniatures regularly with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals. Ensure miniatures are completely dry before storage.
• Storage: Store miniatures in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping or paint fading. Foam trays or compartmentalized cases are recommended to protect painted miniatures during transport and storage.
• Painting: If you choose to paint your miniatures, use acrylic hobby paints. Apply thin coats to preserve detail. A protective varnish can be applied after painting to seal and protect the finish.
• Card Care: Keep game cards flat and protected. Card sleeves can prevent wear and tear during gameplay.

6. Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Miniature Stability: If a miniature is unstable on its base, ensure it is properly glued. For persistent issues, consider adding weight to the base or using a stronger adhesive.
• Missing Components: Carefully check all packaging and sprues. If components are genuinely missing, contact Atomic Mass Games customer support with your proof of purchase.
• Paint Adhesion Issues: Ensure miniatures are clean and free of mold release agents before priming. Washing miniatures with warm soapy water and allowing them to dry thoroughly before priming can improve paint adhesion.
