Return to Hoth Campaign, Meeple Madness, Buford, GA

By --JP, in Imperial Assault Campaign

We'll be starting the RtH campaign this Saturday at 2p at Meeple Madness. If you're in the area, drop by. Will be glad to teach. We've got several folks who pop in and out of the missions, so there is no commitment necessary - just drop in and shoot some storm troopers.

6 May: We got off to a good start. We had 7 folks in and out of the 2 missions we played and had the chance to teach the game. Looks like we're getting some buzz here. Rebels cleared a Threat mission out and we''' be doing a Story Mission this Tuesday at 5p.

We'll be at it again today, (13 May) at 3p. Embarking on the side mission before the Interlude and likely the Interlude, as well. Stop by, we're glad to teach.

14 May: Got a side mission complete to get Verena's Iron Fist for the Heroes and then completed the Interlude - very close one, but the Heroes claimed victory. We'll be playing skirmish this Tuesday at 1p and take on the next Story Mission of the campaign about 6p. Join us if you're in the area.

update

Story mission came down to a 'I have to defeat you with this shot, or you win the mission' again! We seem to have this kind of nail-biter often!

After a week break due to vacation, we hit the campaign trail again last night. Ran Loku's side mission. I think we're all improving our play, as once again, we had a close run game. It came down to last turn, last activation and the Empire was a single physical square short or victory. Loki goes into the last side mission with his reward.

We'll be playing this Saturday, 4p. Got a skirmish mission in and expect to get another in Saturday as practice ahead of the store tournament in June.

A really good group of people here!

Haha, figured as much.

Any way, good luck on the mission where you try to recruit Hera and Covfefe. ;)

We played the Finale of our Return to Hoth campaign yesterday. Heroes and Empire were loaded up for the last mission. No spoilers - mission ended with only 6 health left on the 'bad guy' - a close ending as the rebel resources were chipped away.

Had some time to introduce another player to the campaign version... and then jumped over to skirmish to teach that to another player.

After the store tournament next Saturday, we'll be looking to start the Bespin Gambit mini-campaign. We've had a volunteer to take the Empire!

This coming week will be skirmish 'practice' and building/re-building lists. Drop by Tuesdays, Fridays or Saturdays to join in - very easy-going group of players here.
