Dark Obsession and doors?

By chriscook, in Imperial Assault Campaign

Ok, I am very confused on doors and door setup in this mission. Are they all open, which it states in the start up box, and then it said they can't be closed, but yet it also said they remain open for rest of mission. Why have any doors then. O, and you can kill doors. HELP!!!

Yes, all the doors start open.

The rebels have a terminal to where they have the option of closing the doors.

Once a door is closed, Vader can Force one open for an action from three squares away.

A door opened in this manner cannot be closed by the rebel players again.

The whole point of the doors is to slow Vader down so the rebels can complete the mission.

I would just add to that the fact that during setup, you place the doors on the map. I think it's during the mission briefing that the doors are removed. This allows the Rebel players to see where the doors belong since they aren't allowed to see the campaign guide. This let's them develop strategies around where to place their figures and when to close doors.

When I played this one, I removed the doors to the side of the map next to where they were originally placed so the Rebels could remember where the doors will close.

I'm reading it as they can only close a single door. So why have other doors?

I'm not showing any rules allowing them to close any doors except the one door closest to luke.

RRG on page 11 says figures cannot voluntarily close doors. Aside from the single mission rule allowing them to close the single door closest to luke, what purpose do the other doors serve?

You close the OPEN door closest to Luke. Once the first one is closed the next open door is the OPEN door closest to Luke.

oh no! we've been playing it wrong! we started the game with all the doors closed! :blink: :blink: :blink:
