Legion is the third game from Fantasy Flight to stage miniatures wargaming inside the Lucasfilm galaxy, and the latest of 12 Star Wars-based games overall. Going eye-to-eye over the table with your opponent is an altogether different, often more unpredictable and intense experience than any online smackdown. But then Star Wars: Battlefront didn’t offer solo play until the second game in the series, and then only through a series of rather superficial story-based levels.īut one of the wonderful things about tabletop gaming in general, and Legion’s battles of wits make for a great example, is that every session can bring about a real meeting of minds. Every game of Legion requires exactly two players. Star Wars Legion – whether they can shoot straight is up to you Tabletop WarsĪnother downside to tabletop wargaming over, say, the Star Wars games you can play on PC or console, is that you really can’t play by yourself.
