Sorry About the Mess

Han Solo enters the game ofStar Wars: Legion as the Rebellions third commander, taking his place alongside Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa to round out the trio of heroes from the classicStar Warstrilogy. As weve already explored, aStar Wars: Legion army can have up to two commanders, and with the release of Han Solo, you have choices to make if you want two commanders in your army. Whether you pair him with the Force powers and combat prowess of Luke Skywalker or the inspiring leadership of Leia Organa, Han has a bag of tricks for any commander to take advantage of.

Han Solo wouldnt be caught on the battlefield without his trusty DL-44 blaster pistol. This blaster pistol can pierce through enemy blocks and when Han Solos the one pulling the trigger, itll almost always hit his target. Even if your opponent manages to catch Han Solo in melee combat, hes no slouch in a brawl. Still, Han Solos preferred weapon is his blaster, and his abilities make him even more dangerous to your enemies.

For instance, most units inStar Wars: Legion are limited to a single attack per activationand only the most powerful units have the power to break that limit. Han Solo, as you might expect, is one of those units. Han is already placing his shots hard and accurately with his DL-44 blaster pistol, and his Gunslinger ability rewards you for making these ranged attacks. After you take a ranged attack action with Han Solo, you can immediately perform an additional ranged attack against a different unit!

Han Solo makes a ranged attack against Darth Vader, and his ability lets him immediately make a second attack against the Snowtroopers!

Han Solos sharpshooting can certainly help you wherever he stands in the battle, but his three personal command cards give you the power to shape the unfolding conflict with Hans unique brand of leadership. For example, you might need to guarantee that you have priority for one round of the battle.Sorry About the Messlets you ensure that Han Solo can always shoot first. Unlike every other command card, Sorry About the Mess has zero pips in its upper-left corner, ensuring that youll always win priority. And while it only lets you give an order to Han Solo, he gains an aim token and a dodge token when you issue that order, prepping Han Solo to run or fightwhichever you need!

Well take a closer look at Han Solo and all the cards in his expansion in much more detail in a future preview!
