The game uses a 3’圆′ battlefield (or 3×3 for smaller skirmish games). So while there is a degree of randomness there is strategic choice in being able to select a mission your army is best at. You pick 4 of each of these, and 3 will be chosen at random for you to pick from. The final step of the list building phase allows you to select which mission, deployment and battlefield condition cards you’d prefer. Each player typically starts with a seven card hand with two each 1pip, 2pip, 3pip card and one 4pip card that will always be “Standing Orders”. These are typically the most powerful cards and typically assures that the character they belong to will have an order issued to them, though once the character they belong to has been removed from the game they can no longer be played.

And finally we have the Character-specific command cards which can only be taken if the given character they are in your list.

Faction-specific, which offer minor bonuses anyone in a given faction can use, but usually only affect specific units.

Generics, which can be used by everyone but lack any benefits other than generating orders.

These can range from generic cards anyone can use to signature abilities unique to each commander. Finally, you must build a deck of 6 “Command Cards” that offer powerful once per turn abilities. Then build a list of units consisting of characters, soldiers and vehicles from the Star Wars films and Expanded Universe. In Legion you create an army based on one of the four factions we see in the movies: The Rebel Alliance, The Galactic Empire, The Galactic Republic, and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Luke Skywalker is very much a unit that wants to go in swinging into the opponent’s lines, while someone like Count Dooku wants his opponents to come to him and out duel them. Which heroes your bring can drastically change your list’s synergy and what units gel best with it. Like Crisis Protocol, the main draw to Legion is that the iconic characters you see in the movies are a powerful presence on the battlefield and all have very unique toolkits. As of 2021 production has moved to Atomic Mass Games who produces that other miniatures game owned by Disney. Star Wars Legion, or Legion for short, is a skirmish war game originally produced by Fantasy Flight games.

You can look at this little series as The Empire Strikes Back to that original article’s A New Hope. While my good friend Ragnarok Angel gave a great summary of the game back in early 2020, a lot has changed since then. Hello there! I’m Lunar Night, and I’ve been playing Star Wars Legion for quite some time now and wanted to write about it. A long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…
