A rift in the time-space continuum has dropped a Borg invasion fleet into the middle of the Galactic Civil War. Rebels and Imperials have joined forces to defeat this new enemy.
We gave an extra 50 points to the Star Wars fleet because Attack Wing is a bit overpowered in comparison to X-Wing Miniatures and the Borg all have 360* firing arcs. We used Star Wars rules except for the few things that didn't convert properly.

The game took quite a while due to the amount of ships we had to move and whatnot, but judged from a game round perspective, it was a very quick game. It took 2-3 rounds to get into combat range and then we only battled for a few rounds after that. The Star Wars players decided that our best strategic move would be to ignore the Scout Cubes and to focus-fire on the Queen's vessel and the Tactical Cube. After those were destroyed, we would mop up the Scouts.
As the opposing forces came together, Col. Jendon target locked the Queen's vessel and the Tactical Cube, then passed the Tactical Cube's lock to Chewbacca. The Borg were only able to kill an Academy Pilot on the opening salvo. On the next round, the Queen captures Chewbacca in her tractor beam and reduces his health by half with her Cutting Laser. The Tactical Cube moves to reinforce the Scout Cubes. Another Academy pilot is killed and an Interceptor is damaged.
On the next round, the TIE swarm and Cubes end up in a furball. The Tactical Cube drops its Multi Kinetic Neutronic Mines directly onto the TIE swarm, but it fails to produce any results. The Scouts kill Howlrunner, an Interceptor and the final Academy TIE. The Borg Queen and Chewy are unable to move because of the tractor beam. The Cutting Laser fails to damage Chewbacca significantly.
On the final round, the Scouts scatter and the Tactical Cube attempts to flank the swarm. The Avengers move to engage and the Alpha K-turns behind a Scout. Chewbacca survives another attack from the Queen and kills her when he returns fire, leaving the Z-95s with nothing to do. The Scouts are able to kill Etahn, but the Interceptors are able to kill the Tactical Cube. After this happens, the Borg player calls the game because he feels that he is unable to win. Most of our remaining fleet was undamaged and we outnumbered his Scouts 3-1, so he is probably right. It would have only been a matter of time before we were able to hunt down and destroy his Scouts, which are equivalent to E-Wings and Defenders. I'm still a little disappointed that we didn't play it out to the end.
Star Wars wins!!!
