Introducing STAR WARS: Shatterpoint Key Operations – Campaign

Campaign is the latest update to Key Operations for Star Wars^TM: Shatterpoint. What Campaign allows players to do is to pick a set of campaigns to play in sequence and have progression as they play out their story of the Key Operations.

A Campaign is made up of two kinds of Key Operations. Three Campaign Operations and one Last Chance Operation. The Campaign Operations are played in order until the Aggressor is defeated in a Key Operation. When this happens the next Key Operation played will be the Last Chance Mission, representing what the Aggressor must do to get back on track in the Campaign.

How you win a Campaign is straightforward. If the Aggressor gets to the third Campaign Operation and is victorious, they win! If the Sentinel defeats the Aggressor twice, the Sentinel wins. This can setup many memorable “go for broke” moments to stave off defeat by either player.

Another new element to Campaign is progression. Each Player will pick an Advantage Pack and a Veteran Unit for their Campaign. The Advantage Pack will provide Advantages for the Veteran Unit to unlock and choose from at the start of each Key Operation in the Campaign, after the first. Right now there are only two packs (one for the Aggressor and one for the Defender), and while more are planned for the future, these ones are not slouches! Consider Vendetta.

Perhaps your Veteran during the course of the campaign has developed strong negative feelings toward the opposing Veteran. Vendetta represents this in giving them a powerful advantage when focusing on their hated foe but makes them distracted when fighting the people
that are not the focus of their rage.

Or perhaps the Sentinel has a Special Surprise in store for the Aggressor.

Leading to an explosive confrontation.
These different abilities combined with the ability to make a chain of Key Operations that set the narrative of events you wish to play out. Give both players in Campaign a real chance to tell their story!
