in the rules it states you cannot retreat while in combat with the death star. What happens if the death star traps you fleet? is it just tough Sh**t you fight until the last man?
the point i guess is to be always on the move from the technological terror.
is there any way to escape it?
The Empire can't retreat from a system with the death star, the rebels can though
ah so i got it the wrong way round
So I just played my first game but my buddies have like 4 games under their belt
Anyway one was telling me there is a infinite loop that can take place
Kind of rare, but is possible
If by chance the only units left are two ion cannons, a xwing and just a deathstar what happens?
The rebel player does not have the deathstar plans
Xwing can't retreat
Deathstar can't retreat
The ion Cannon reduces the deathstar dice by two for each I think it is
The deathstar rolls no dice and the xwing can't attack

In the event they are unable to retreat (either because the Rebels have no leaders in the system or there's no system they are legally allowed to retreat to) then the rebel starfighters are instantly destroyed and combat ends. The ion cannons become irrelevant at this point.
In short, if there's only one legal move available, use it or lose it.
