Well the first battle was just that a 500 point battle. No objectives, clear conditions and a set deployment. It was amazing slugging it out. I lost (**** you white die! **** you to ****!) playing the rebels, but it took me back to playing with my action figures in the late 70’s and early 80’s. We didn’t even reach round 6.
The second battle I tried was more official in regards that we followed the rules and setup. It was an 800 point battle and we chose an objective, conditions and deployment. We used a prepared 6x4 table with “grass” and terrain. Those extra 6” on each long side gave us the space for our cards, dice, etc. Even though we had an objective the battle part kept us distracted and we forgot all about the objective. We didn’t reach round 6 as the store was closing (we played for 2 hours).
