Reply To: Star Wars Imperial Assault reboot?

@sundancer , for reference FFG have not been able to directly sell IA to customers for a number of years. There was some form of licensing disagreement (with GW I think) about 4-5 years ago and as part of the remedy for that FFG agreed that they wouldn’t sell any wargaming boardgames, or something like that. That question pops up on the FFG community boards every two weeks.

With regards to a 2.0 I expect that at some point in the future they will reboot it like x-wing. It’s not as popular as x-wing so won’t make as much money for them but the game does need it and there is actually a community effort to redress the problems with the game *cough* spectre cell et al *cough* which is currently going through its first season of testing and looks promising.

I don’t think they’ll go to sprues but I do think that they’ll make the models more complex in future like the legion ones and I will welcome that. to be honest since release the quality of the minis has done nothing but improve, both in detail and ease of painting.

I will be sad when this game dies. It has been a big part of my gaming life for 5 years now and I have had immense enjoyment from painting and playing. I will keep the game and treasure it when I finish painting it all (currently at 89% painted!) as it will just be a nice thing to look at.
