Star Wars Legion: Essentials Pack

Seven range tools is the detail worth pausing on. Most games get played with a single one passed back and forth, producing a slow, fiddly measuring process where you check a distance, set the tool down, and immediately need it again.

Having several changes the rhythm of a turn. You can leave one in place marking a threat range while measuring something else, check two units against the same objective without resetting, and stop interrupting an opponent to borrow theirs. Three movement tools do the same for the movement step, which is where most table disputes actually begin.

The order tokens on the punch sheets are generic, so they serve whichever army is on the table, and spares start to matter once you are running a full command hand.

What is in the pack:

• 7 range tools
• 3 movement tools for the movement step
• 2 punch sheets of generic tokens

Unnecessary if you own a starter set and play one game at a time. The tools packed in that box already do the job, and this only pays off once two players share a table or a collection outgrows its original set.
