So I have just about burned myself out on open space and asteroid fights!!

Dont get me wrong I do love them both! BUT!

I was going old school and broke out the old "rogue squadron" game .. and it dawned on me!!!

Most of the game is fighting over cities and desert and things...If you hit obstacles it hurts you pretty badly..

SOOOO....

why not get some mini buildings and fight in mos eisely or Coruscant or something like that!?

Use the same rules for placing and running into/ over/ through them as we do for asteroids..

or some house rules like crash into a building and remove the ship.? maybe too steep of a rule?

some sort of "grazing a building" / "bumping into" guideline...lol

I know there are tons of places to get Flames of war buildings and print them and put them together out of paper.. They are super close to scale!! I think 1/144? so a minor shrink in size before printing would be good!

Just a thought of running a SUPER HARD manuvering game.. JUST FOR FUN..

Any extra thoughts are welcome!! rule help or ideas are a plus!

just seeing if anyone else has thought of it?

I have been really thinking about mine fields using Proximity Mine tokens and rules. In fact, I may suggest to my TO that we do that next time :-)

I could just see a battle over a city where the "asteroids" are really skyscrapers

I've been thinking about doing this sometime. In fact, I'd love to run a game like the one mission in Rogue Squadron where you rescue Crix Madine on Corellia, with TIE Bombers attacking the building with proton bombs and an AT-AT that must be taken out using the harpoon and tow cable on the T-47 airspeeder.

yea that mission would be a great one to try! good all round theme and goals!

the mine field is awesome too! i remember how hard it was to get into range and torpedo a space station in Xwing alliance..then get out of range of the mine/ turret thingys..

I'm glad im not the only one thinking of other options!

Thanks and keep em coming!

How about Bespin as a back drop, you could use Tibanna gas mining installations as obstacles as well as cloud city. All you need is an orange felt mat and maybe some cotton for clouds. (I'm sure i have seen a picture of this somewhere)

You could even introduce a rule of receiving a stress token for flying through clouds...
