Attack on Endor battrep... lots of pics

By Stromboli, in Star Wars: Imperial Assault

Here is a skirmish report, 55pts, 20command cards pts.

Pretty much everything that could have gone wrong for the rebels did, terrible rolls (Fenn double attacked 3 turns in a row and hit nothing lol). Vader brutalized the opposition, ending the game with 3 health left, and the imp officer and big command card moments turned the battle heavily in the imps favour.

Setup and deployment: one terminal at top of lift, another outside in the speeder shed. CAM02803.jpg CAM02806.jpg CAM02811.jpg CAM02813.jpg

The end of the first round... CAM02816.jpg

The last of the rebel scum makes a last ditch play on the shield generator room but with the imp officer there, the trooper stood no chance of escaping the dark lord... http://i778.photobucket.com/albums/yy65/unrealvs/CAM02841.jpg

....and Vader chokes his ass out!

Peace and stability is once more restored to the galaxy!

Thanks a lot, and great work!

Fantastic, looks like a fantastic map to battle on

So it was a trap...

Lol... we have been playtesting to get the mission balanced for skirmish play. We considered putting more terminals outside to give the rebels a command card advantage and we're still playing around with deployment zones....

... unfortunately, we couldn't really get much useful input from this battle. The rebels got stomped and didn't stand much chance of interacting with the console in the generator room, but since the rebs made a few tactical errors and had terrible dice to the point of being laughable, it was hard to tell what needed to be tweaked. I also don't remember the rebs playing an command cards at all. I remember my buddy staring at them here and there and looking like he might lay one down a couple times... but never did. We will continue to playtest.

The only thing we agree on is imps must field an AT-ST and it can't enter the structure... everything else is under debate lol.
