Rebels setup in 3 flights, (1) Wedge, Rookie Y-Wing and Rookie B-Wing on the left, (2) A-Wing and Tarn Mison attack down the centre, (3) Luke, Dutch and Dagger Squadron take the far right flank.

Imperials opted to concentrate ships on the same side, with 2 loaded bombers centrally placed ready to unload their assault missiles on any rebel formations.

Some classic matchups played out in this match. Wedge vs Soontir, Vader vs Luke

Rebels won it in the end thanks largely to hot dice and superior teamwork.

Has anyone else tried a furball this size before?

Looked like a lot of fun! Very keen to try this out at our local in Hawkes Bay :D

it was a blast. we had a prize structure for individual kills. Next time i would award 1/2 kills for assisted kills on a ship - so if u damage it and it is killed by another player on ur team u still get partial kill for it.

Pencil me in on the next one haha

ships were allocated randomly. agreeable swaps within your faction were possible. I got the Dagger Squadron PIlot/ion/adv. sensors. it performed well in this format. All of the x-wings were great and x-wings recorded many big kills in the match including Vader (killed by Luke) and Soontir (killed by Wedge). Tarn Mison was also credited with a few kills.
