GenCon Death Star Scenario

By Stone6, in X-Wing

Did anyone play on the FFG X-Wing Death Star table at GenCon? In looking at the photos, the table had Death Star defense guns, and I was wondering what the scenario was. Could the defense guns fire and were destroying them an objective of he scenario? I liked the looks o the table and the defense guns would add some fun for scenario games.

Thanks,

Tim

I played that scenario at Gen Con. From what I remember, the turrets fire at a maximum range of 2. I don't recall what their "skill" rank was off hand, or what the set up would be -- how far apart the turrets need to be from another turret.
The goals for a Rebel victory were destroy 4 turrets (?), or eliminate all the TIE Fighters.

I would really like FFG to make a version available to play at home, using tokens -- a la the asteroids from the Core Set

. . . I also recall that the turrets rolled 2 Attack/Defense dice. I could be wrong though.

If I remember anything else, I'll post it here.

Fantastic, thanks. From looking at the photos it looked like a really fun scenario.

I have all kinds of plans for making up scenarios in my head. Once I feel really comfortable with the rules, I will try them out and see what I can make work.
