H3: Asteroid Gauntlet

By GCRailways, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Hello,

I am new to the forum, but not "X-Wing".

My brother and I have been playing the "Escape From Hoth" campaign, and have a question on the win conditions: the rule book states that the GR-75 has to survive eight rounds to win (yet the mission does not call for tracking tokens, as mission H2 does). However, where the ship currently stands, it could flee the play area, off the Imperial edge, in fewer rounds than that. As the object, story wise, is for the transport to escape, does fleeing off the Imperial edge count as a Rebel victory?

Thanks

I don't have the mission book handy, but if it doesn't mention fleeing the battlefield as a victory condition, then fleeing doesn't count as a Rebel victory. If you want a narrative justification, then maybe the transport is preparing its hyperdrive to jump, rather than just trying to get to the other side of the blockade.

Okay, thanks!
