LTD has narrowly won the game. He got the exact amount of damage he needed to kill both ships. Congratulations LTD, and very well played both to you and GNIP.

A close run thing.

Good game, @GhostofNobodyInParticular

Thanks @Bertie Wooster for running this. Nice work.

Congrats on the win! If only I had killed that X-Wing, we'd be tied. . .

Thanks for the game Bertie!

Thanks for playing. I would make a few changes next game (if there is one) but I think it went okay.

I think the balance of ship power could be tweaked a bit. There isn't really an incentive to have a large ship. Sure, range is nice, but if it takes 12 turns instead of 6 to build an ISD, you get twice the dice and 1.5 times the hull by building 2 GSDs in the same time. And given the rate at which ships die (an ISD can be wiped out in 2 turns if you are lucky, and 3 if you get average rolls, same as a GSD), you need to pump out ships AFAP, so you'll buy the cheapest stuff available.

At least, that was my mentality when I was playing. The ISD was nice at first, but I was really missing that extra ship.

Yeah, mediums and larges probably need some help. I think the best strategy for those ships is to set them on an debris field or asteroid and leave them there for the rest of the game (unless they have to retreat) and just do your best to fire at stuff from a distance.

That being said, I think it would help if mediums had 6 hull (worth 3 VPs) and larges had 8 (worth 4 VPs).

The station blocking line of sight also probably hurt the ISD and VSD.

On the flip side, I think squadrons need help too. I think I would remove the "remove 1 die" terrain rules just for squadrons.
