Interesting play by play battle report, though at times it can be hard to read through the mountain of text. Still good.

Yeah it is way more digestible at http://rollingblanks.blogspot.com/ because I added pictures and used colors and the blogs formatting to break up the next.

As I start reading this is it my imagination or are there already play errors being made in the first two rounds?

Turn 1: You have Chewbacca taking the TL action yet the combat report says he used Focus.

Turn 2: Howlrunner hits an Asteroid but the at the start of Combat uses a Focus to turn FFH into HHH; WHERE IS THAT FOCUS COMING FROM? Hitting the asteroid meant no actions and if she actually landed on it that would have meant no attack.

I can't figure out how Chewbacca got into range for a TL on turn 1.

It would be possible if the Imperial player moved first because Chewie is a big base:

Night Beast move 5+1 for base

Chewie move 4+2 for base

total 12 so barely fit with the rule of eleven

But since Chewie moved before Night Beast, I'm also at loss here... I do believe it is a mistake and should have been a focus action, like he use during the first combat round.
