Star Wars: Legion – Imperial Shoretroopers Unit Expansion is an expansion for Star Wars: Legion released in 2019 for 2 players, 60–120 minutes per game, and ages 14 and up. It was designed by Luke Eddy and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Dice Rolling, and Action Points.
Selected for rotational duty from exceptional Stormtrooper squads, Imperial Shoretroopers are trained not only in tropical environment operations, but also in entrenched warfare. Often assigned to important bases such as the Imperial security facility on Scarif, Shoretroopers use their expertise and equipment to counter Rebel ambushes and ensure Imperial secrets remain safe. Within the Imperial Shoretroopers Unit Expansion, you'll find seven unique, unpainted Imperial Shoretrooper miniatures to add to your Star Wars: Legion collection. Five of these troopers are armed with E-22 blaster rifles while a Shoretrooper equipped with a T-21B targeting rifle is ready to deal extra damage from long range. But if you're truly looking to keep enemy units from escaping with sensitive information, a DF-90 Mortar Trooper can be added to your army as a detachment from the rest of your Shoretroopers. Rounding out this expansion are two unit cards, five upgrade cards to fully kit out your Shoretroopers, and all the tokens you need to deploy them to any battle. —description from the publisher
