So my group played the final mission. We had won the preceding mission so we....
...had the one where you go into the facility and try to kill souped up Vader. We lost before we could even open the door, the Imperial Player had been sitting on 4-5 cards and probably increased his threat from cards by 12+ during the mission. It started okay but he eventually threw out uber Elite Stormies (could attack twice and got free surges), elite RG, AND Elite Trandos back to back to back and then made sure to use the constant threat to keep them all up at full strength. We got to the door and could have opened it, but we already had 3 people wounded and tried to whittle it down a bit before doing so, but we ended up failing right there on round 8.
We read the rest of the mission and had t wonder if it was possible after reading it. 24 health Vader with an extra defense ability that activates after every hero seemed way OTT, especially after the beating we took.
So has anyone completed this? it seems really, really difficult.
We read the other possible final mission and felt like that one would likely be much easier. Our Imperial player might still have won given all the stuff he had, but we felt like it was possible to kill Weiss a few times, or at least more possible than fighting ridiculous Vader.
Thoughts?
