Hello everyone! Welcome back to ION Radio and the conclusion of the first Act of the Rebellion in the Rim campaign.

Here is the Pivotal Battle for Act I!

Awesome. Loved every min.

This was a great match and the format for the batrep is superb.

Great work Ion Radio!

It makes me sad to watch Ken losing every game in this campaign. Maybe you two should swap sides for the next round, that the Empire gets a chance to regain some strength?

@Triangular, don't be too sad. Poor dice rolling, aggressive tactics and John pulling a "Thrawn" on me are all contributing to my losses. Having said that, we play quite a few games outside of what we film, and I tend to do significantly better. There was a battle in which I brought 8 or 9 Z-95 Squadrons and won an 8-3 victory shutting down his normal fighter shenanigans. We also each quarterbacked a pivotal battle at our FLGS (I was Rebels and John Imperials) and it was very close until the final round. There was a point that I almost decided to turn all my ships and outrun them for the rest of the game to score a victory. In our campaign the score after Act I is 6-4 Imperials. I worked the bugs out of the strategy and even thought we lost the Pivotal battle, we gained rewards, the Empire gained a diplomat and 1 campaign point.

If absolutely nothing else, I am improving my overall gameplay and would do things quite different when we do this again. Thank you for the kind thoughts... wait for the Onager. >:-)

As a Reb player, I love to see them winning. I’m about to play my RITR, as Imps, so I’m learning a lot. Keep up the great work!

I miss not seeing a MC30 on the board.

@GenCurtisLemay, in our store game, I have one of my generals that is flying 2 MC30s. If we had decided for me to play Rebels for this video campaign, one fleet was 3 MC30s.

Awesome, by far my favorite ship so far.

I believe this Friday’s video will include at least 2 MC30s.

Oh, I do wait! Made my preorder this weekend and now ... I'm waiting. 😴

Good luck for your next battles!

11 days (at least in theory for us in the US).

I live in Germany but collect my Armada stuff in english. I can never now when I get new released expansions. My longest time waiting was 9 months after release until Corellian Conflict arrived. So I train my keyskill for this game: patience.
