Title: Return of the Empire Striking Back
Post by: OSHIROmodels on July 29, 2018, 09:06:06 PM: Unrest continues throughout the galaxy. Reports of an large Imperial installation in the Moddell Sector have meant that the Rebel Alliance has sent out small infiltrator teams to scout out the systems. One group was sent to the Endor system and the small, temperate moon there to find out what they could...

The basic set up, Rebels on the left, Empire on the right.

The Imperial set up.

Team Aura with Rwaar, Dev and Lan'tec

Team Besh with Padawan Machinn, Teeqo and Nally

The rebel teams move up.

But not out of notice of the Imperial forces who move to engage

Padawan Machinn takes the fight to the Imperials and manages to down a scout trooper.

Meanwhile, Rwaar does the same but doesn't fair as well.

With the infiltrators team leader down and other members sustaining heavy wounds, the surviving Rebels beat a hasty retreat to try and report back to Alliance headquarters but will they get off planet before being overrun by the Empire...

Rules used were Fistful of Lead - Galactic Heroes. Translated well for Star Wars games and we will certainly be using them again :)

Post by: Elk101 on July 29, 2018, 09:09:17 PM: Great stuff. I'm looking forward to these rules too, for exactly the same purpose! Also great to see the new piece of terrain getting a run out. Shame those nasty Imperials won.

Title: Re: Return of the Empire Striking Back
Post by: rumacara on July 30, 2018, 07:31:30 PM: Custom cards will be available in pdf as well as the book?
Title: Re: Return of the Empire Striking Back
Post by: BaronVonJ on July 30, 2018, 08:28:18 PM: I might work that out with someone like War-games Vault. Otherwise, if you're worried about shipping we'll have a European distributor in the form of OshiroModels himself.
Title: Re: Return of the Empire Striking Back
Post by: OSHIROmodels on July 30, 2018, 08:31:41 PM: Yeah, I can sort you out mate :)
Title: Re: Return of the Empire Striking Back

Good, I really need a fast flowing small skirmish game to use my WotC and Legion models in, while slowly building my forces for Legion. Only wish they were available already - I have minis lusting for battle...

And these are just the ones I threw together after receiving Legion earlier today - I have plenty other stuff to build small groups from lol

Wonderful looking game, btw ;)
