Alright, I am going to start my first Star Wars Fantasy Flight games RPG soon and i had an idea I wanted to share with the community. My campaign is similar to the storyline of the empire at war: Force of Corruption. The players characters don't join the rebellion, but create an army of their own to combat the empire. Heres the big question though, where are you gonna get the credits to start an army?! the answer is you don't need any! I plan to have the PCs restart a droid factory, and use the B-1 battle dorids as basic troops. There are many other things i plan to do aswell, but this is just to get my idea out there.

B-1s are in the EotE core, using them in squads with PCs is in the AoR GM kit, if you want to get super nit-picky the E-5 blaster rifle is in Stay on Target (I wouldn't get nitpicky the stats just aren't that different really, but if you're gonna get that book anyway... it's there). I'd also highly recommend you get Arda for the big battle rules and encourage at least one player to get a Leadership heavy Spec.

On the upside the problem most people have with squad rules (sacrificing a squaddie to save yourself) won't be a huge issue if it's just droids.

Good luck.
