CAMPAIGN GUIDE

EVENT SUMMARV

This book contains 30 missions to be played with Imperial Assault. Many of these missions link together to form the core campaign, but this book also contains numerous side missions that can be played in the core or any future campaign.

Each mission has an "Event Summary" that provides a list of events that will trigger during the mission. This section is used for the Imperial player's reference only and contains abbreviated versions of event triggers. For the ful! timing trigger of each event, see the corresponding event in the mission text.

HIDDEN INFDRMATIDN

The information in the Event Summary is never read aloud.

Missions within a campaign of Imperial Assault are played with information hidden from the Rebel players ( often referred to as heroes). Rebel players are not allowed toread any ofthe information found within this Campaign Guide, but they are always allowed to ask the Imperial player to repeat any current or previous rules.

MISSIDN EVENTS

MAP DIAGRAM The map diagram for each mission indicates assembly for the map, as well as placement of tokens, doors, and figures. It also displays information referenced by mission rules, such as named map tiles or deployment points.

Note: Figures shown with gray and black borders both correspond to gray Deployment cards, but belong to different groups.

DEPLDVMENT AND SETUP Each mission has a "Deployment and Setup" section that provides the list of the Imperial figures that will be present during the mission, as well as other special rules resolved during setup. • When collecting the listed Deployment cards, figures listed in red text refer to the elite (red) version of the Deployment card, and ali other figures use a regular (gray) version of the Deployment card. • When choosing open groups, the mission may list specific groups or traits (such as CREATURES) that cannot be chosen. Additionally, the Imperial player cannot choose a unique Deployment card unless it has been rewarded to him as a villain.

SPECIAL SETUP Many missions have special setup instructions covering rules such as Rebel ally usage or token placement. • When the rules instruct to randomly place a number of specified tokens, the Imperial player collects the listed tokens, shuffies them together, and places them facedown in the spaces indicated on the map. Until revealed by mission rules, no player is allowed to examine the facedown side of these tokens. • When the rules instruct to choose and place a number of specified tokens, the Imperial player collects the listed tokens and places them facedown in any of the indicated spaces of his choice. Until revealed by mission rules, Rebel players are not allowed to examine the facedown side of these tokens. After the tokens are placed, they cannot be moved, but the Imperial player can examine them during the mission.

Events form the initial structure and changing rules of a given mission. A mission can consist of any number of events starting with "Mission Briefing" and concluding with "End of Mission:' Each event can contain any combination of story text and additional rules that apply to the mission. When an event is triggered, all of the text and rule information within that section is read aloud and resolved, in arder. Mission rules are instant ( ~ ) or ongoing (+ ) effects. An instant effect is resolved immediately and most often no longer needs to be referenced. An ongoing effect applies throughout the mission and often determines special abilities granted to Rebel or Imperial figures. • In sorne cases, an event will require the Imperial player to choose one of a number of effects, which can be instant or ongoing. When he chooses one, he reads the effect aloud and resolves it, but he by twice the threat leve! and resolve an optional deployment (see "Mission Briefing").
