So this was my attempt to create a narrative campaign, hopefully it provides an idea for some May 4th games this weekend.
Set up:
The Rebel player places their Y-Wing, and HWK-290 (after wave 4 launches this is replaced by the Z-95) cards into a "Enlistment deck" they then shuffle it and draw 8 cards. The Imperial player then places their Tie Fighter, Tie Advanced, and Tie Bomber cards into an enlistment deck they then shuffle it and draw 10 cards. Then each player breaks their upgrade cards into the following piles:
Equipment: Turrets, Heavy Weapons, and Systems
Ordnance: Torpedoes, Missiles, and Bombs
Personal: Crew and Astromechs
Talents: Elite Pilot Talents
These decks are then shuffled and blindly drawn from for each upgrade in a ships bar, ships with multiples of the same upgrade only draw one card for that type of upgrade. When an EPT is given to a pilot that EPT is from then on attached to said pilot for the rest of the campaign.
After each mission each player may draw 2 enlistment cards until they meet the maximum of 15. If a Unique Pilot or Crew upgrade destroyed it is removed for the rest of the campaign, after that mission the Imperial player may choose to replace the lost unique pilot with the lowest Pilot Skill of the same ship.
Any containers or supplies obtained in a mission can be exchanged after the mission for 1 Equipment card, 2 Ordnance cards, or 1 Pilot.
Special Action:
Hyperspace Jump: A ship capable of jumping to Hyperspace, All Rebel ships, large ships, and the Tie Advanced, may perform this action. Roll 1 attack die on a hit result place a Hyperspace identity token, the A,B,C,D tokens from the Transport expansion, and the corresponding Hyperspace token at range 1 of the other players set up area. If a ship has and Astromech or Crew card upgrade they may skip the dice roll. When this ship is within range 1 of the Hyperspace token it may be removed from play and added back to the player's forces. If the player doesn't have the Transport expansion Target locks can be used instead.
