I think I like your scenario ideas, but your setup documents are very confusing.

I'm sorry to hear that. Thanks for the feedback. I will see what I can do to change the format to be a little less crowded and understandable.

I hope I didn't sound too discouraging, I think your scenarios are really thematic and well thought out. I want to try to play them! In reference to the current one, I'd like to expand a bit and say what was confusing.

The Rebel setup is documented. The first choice is "1 Unique Personality and 2 Rookie Pilots". Does this mean ANY unique pilot, regardless of ship, and 2 Rookie X-Wings? So you could field a typical Han Shoots First list with Han/Gunner/Chewie, and 2 Rookie x-wings. Or is it meant ot be "lowest pilot skill of ship class" meaning perhaps Tycho plus two Green Squadrons with upgrades? Second choice - 3 Standard Pilots (highest pilot skill of ship class) - so 3 Red squadron, or 3 Green squadron, or 3 Grey Squadron or 3 Outer Rim Smugglers? All are possible.

The Imperial setup is not documented at all, so 150 points of any combination? This seems overpowered compared to the very restricted smaller build of the Rebels. You can get a LOT of Imperial firepower at 150 points.

Tractor Beam - what is meant by a "RB 3 x RB 3 cone from anywhere along their setup zone"? Front or back of setup zone? Where can the cone "point" to? If it's a ship, this rule seems a bit overpowered as it will disable a large portion of the board - and will it prevent friendly ships from moving as well as enemy? It does say every ship, which may include any ship which moves into the area after it is declared - would this affect the "capture" ship that comes in as well? Speaking of which, how does the Transport Shuttle that is called in capture the renegade ambassadors?

I don't want to discourage you from creating these scenarios. I just think you need to be a bit more specific in the details of the setup and execution. You can expand on your Google Drive document to include more detail to make the scenarios much more accessible.
