Thematic Demo Game.

By De Bad Wolf, in Imperial Assault Skirmish

Looking for a good mission and builds to Demo the skirmish game. Now the one it has is O.k. But I find people get more into the game when they are reliving something from the movie.

For X-Wing new players who have not played a whole lot of table top. I do a Death Star escape scenario from Episode 4. They basically get a Falcon with Chewy flying it. Han and Luke Co-Pilots and I send out 4 Academy ties at it. Falcon is only allowed to do 1 moves as its goal is to get from one side to the other. After 3 rounds I send in 2 more ties. By this time their just about off the map.

I was thinking of doing another Episode 4 escape scene from Mos Eisley. Granted you wouldn't have Obi Wan or the droids. Thought some fun kill easy troopers would be a good experienced. Maybe it could be some troopers Han and Chewy run into earlier before getting to the ship. Or some Trandoshan Hunters are hunting down Han and Chewy because of Greedo. I think you get what I'm going for.

So Im looking for suggestions and maps. Goals and triggers that would be easy for a first time players. But not a total cake walk. It wouldn't have to be the full 40 points. And maybe a set up to go both ways. If the new player wants to play Empire or Scum. Make a optional set up to give the Rebel heroes a disadvantage.

Just hoping to get a lot of suggestions and brain storm something fun.

I'd do the leadup to the Falcon escape you use in X-Wing.

Use all the imperial tiles and create some hallways from the death star. Could use Chewie, Han, Luke, and Jyn perhaps for Leila, or even just use those 3.

They'd have to blast their way from one end of the map to the other, in order to get to the Falcon and escape.

Empire side, you could use a mix of Stormtroopers, Officers and perhaps a E-Web.

Have doors that either side can lock, then who ever is stuck behind it has to blast their way though.

Very good suggestion. Maybe a Leila rescue mission. I could maybe find some DnD female to fill in for Leila. Could do trash compactor to the ship.

I want to play both of these scenarios now...

FFG needs to do a mission control for this game.
