Combat involves rolling dice to determine hits, and playing tactic cards to perform additional actions in attack and in defence. If, usually during the command phase, a system contains both Rebel and Imperial units in either the ground or space arenas, then combat takes place until both arenas contain only one sideвЂ™s units.

The Rebel player moves their reputation marker towards the time marker by completing objectives. Finally in the refresh phase each player retrieves all their leaders back to their leader pool, draws two mission cards, the Imperial player draws two probe cards, the Rebel player draws an objective card, the time marker advances one, and units are deployed. Next in the command phase each player takes turns revealing missions or activating systems to move units. During the assignment phase each player, starting with the Rebel player, assigns their leaders to missions. They win the game by finding where the Rebel base is located and conquering it.Д®ach game round is split up into three phases: the assignment phase the command phase and the refresh phase. Although their forces are many, their only chance of extinguishing the spark of rebellion is to spread throughout the galaxy, quell uprisings, and search for the hidden Rebel base.

The Imperials can easily build terrifying weapons of war in large quantities. The Galactic Empire is a vast, tyrannical regime that rules many systems throughout the galaxy with an iron fist. The Rebels win the game by gaining enough support to start a full-scale galactic revolt and overthrow the Empire. The Rebel Alliance is vastly outnumbered and cannot survive a head-on fight instead, it must remain hidden and rely on subterfuge, guerrilla tactics, and diplomacy to undermine the Empire. The two factions have different strategies and objectives.

Players take control of iconic characters from the Star Wars saga, sending them on secret missions and leading troops in combat across the galaxy. Star Wars: Rebellion lets players reenact the epic struggle between the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire.
