So last night I played my first game with a mate and another watching in our local store. I have had the game since launch and both mates jumped on board a week or two after but we haven't played it yet so it was just the core set demo we played.
The game plays great and overall I am very impressed with how it plays. I was playing as Rebels and my friend was Imperial.
Although we played the game seriously we did things in the demo game that you probably wouldn't normally do or ever do in a normal game where you want to win but myself and my mate were doing these strange actions to see what the result would be.
I wont the roll to go first so my first action was to move my AT RT and fire the laser cannon at Vader because he was in range and why not and it was a waste but heh not harm in trying.
My friends next turn was to move his speeders and then I think he fired them which I managed to negate one due to cover and the other from dice rolls.
Next up I stupidly put a dodge down and fired at the speeders and forgot about the speed at which they move so did nothing and because I didn't use aim that was that.
My friend them moved his squad up a building to try and flank me.
I then used Luke to attack the two speeders, I think I did the move twice and the ability where when you move you attack. I took down one of the speeders and the other survived with 1 health.
For me this was where I started to loose, because I didn't manage to take down another unit for some time and at the end of my game I just had my AT-RT left so I did loose the game as my friend at pretty much two full squads left. We did have fun with Luke vs Vader and my friend getting used to the movement of the speeders due to the mandatory first move and then trying to re position.
It might pain people to read the above which is very brief but we had loads of fun and it was pretty much a game of 'can we do this' yes you can but it wont pay off. Well what the **** lets try it.
