@subtrendy2 had a great post about working a Spaceship combat with Imperial assault, link to post here it has some great ideas. i decided to spend the day making a small encounter that can happen, an ambush of 4 TIES as a test. i have ruleset posted below, and some images. Hope it makes sense., give it a try, game turn over is pretty quick and hectic, with heroes taken turns at the same time can create some crazy moves.
When:
heroes want to redraw the side missions they were dealt.
What:
they engage in a tie ambush. Amount of TIES, is the threat level of current mission.
Start:
heroes start adjacent to the Terminal.heroes get a full turn before enemies are placed. Then enemies are placed and take their turn. Turn order then starts
Turn order
: all heroes take their two actions before enemy turn, Heroes take actions like regular imperial assault, Rest, Move, etc. strain moves also
Enemy:
TIE fighters (for now) two actions move, attack, or add defense power token. Blue green attack, (can only use one action for attack.) calculate damage on enemy dice. 5 health each. Imperial player controls their actions. can not attack twice
If the Heroes win:
50 credits and redraw side missions.
If the Heroes lose:
lose 50 credits and don't get to redraw side missions.
Ship layout (based of the Outrider from Xwing):
two device tokens (ship components) on front, back and two sides. 3 health each. Then removed once destroyed. Stunned condition to the side or front that when both ship components are destroyed on a section. remove tile fro destroyed section, (for potential Boarding party.)
Damage done to a destroyed section goes through as damage to occupants of the side or front sections of the ship. Wounded heroes only get one action.
Rebel tokens two for gunners positioned adjacent to each other. (These are the Front a rear guns,) one for pilot, one engineer. Front and back on the other side of the ship. Heroes have to be on the token to use sections abilities.
Additional rules:
Figures can take 1 stress to reroll 1 dice, can be done multiple times. Each die rerollled once.
Excess surges can be used to heal one strain
Heroes cannot use their hero powers, but may use any card that allows test rerolls
Gunner section (
adjacent rebel tokens)
Strength:
fire gun from either front or back placement, if standing on the front or back token. Test strength successes equal damage either. Can distribute all surges to enemy ships as damage
Insight:
gain focus token
Tech:
fire gun from either front or back placement, if standing on the front or back token.. Test Tech successes equal damage either. Can distribute all surges to enemy ships as damage
Pilot section. (front most section )
Strength:
jam enemy ship. Place a stun token on enemy ship per success
Insight:
turn ship 90 degrees per success
Tech:
move TIEs spaces to adjacent sections per success (one tie multiple times, or several ties. based on number of
successes
.)
Engineer section (rear most section)
Strength
:
distribute shield tokens based on successes to front, back or side sections 3 shields max to each section. (shields block one damage from enemy.)
Insight:
power up guns with surge power tokens per success (max 2 on guns)
Tech:
distribute shield tokens based on successes to front, back or side sections
(All heroes can repair.)
Repair: interact and do any test with damaged components. Repair damage equal to successes to undestroyed components.
