Title: Galactic Heroes - Endor Battle
Post by: gamer Mac on July 21, 2019, 01:29:30 PM

We had a four way game of Galactic heroes, me, my brother (Andym), my son and my daughter’s boyfriend.
The mission was set on a forest moon in a galaxy far, far, away.
A group of Rebel commandos have managed to seal some fuel required for an A wing Starfighter stranded on the moon.

The rebel commandos (commanded by my son) have had to land in their Y wing transport at a clearing nearby and then transport the fuel through the forest to the hidden landing pad using their transport sled.

The alliance navy are waiting at their landing pad (Commanded by me)
They have a weapons sled in support
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/39/1912-210719112700-398302376.jpeg)
The empire want their fuel back and have employed a group bounty hunters (Commanded by my Daughters Boyfriend) to find the fuel, they have found the landing pad and called in some imperial support.

Storm troopers are going to attack the Landing pad (They are commanded by my brother, Andym)

That's a cracking set up.

Andy has a good record with stormtroopers so I'd not fancy taking him on.

The Alliance navy are protecting the stranded A wing in the bottom left

the rebel commandos come on to the board at the top right.The commandos have a grav-sled to carry the fuel.

the stormtroopers come on top left
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/39/1912-200719225505-398092438.jpeg)
the bounty hunters come on the bottom right.
Each team is made up of a leader, a specialist and four regular troops, most of the figures are armed with blaster rifles bit the leaders have blaster pistols, the specialist in each team has a heavy blaster, I didn't have a suitable figure for a specialist for the Navy so instead they have an R2 droid piloting a support weapon grav-sled

The stormtroopers lived up to their usual reputation, in our games, and died to a man and their shooting was pants lol

Title: Re: Galactic Heroes - Endor Battle
Post by: OSHIROmodels on July 24, 2019, 04:22:07 PM

Happens in ours as well but we ave started using them as 'henchmen' but giving them whole team the Deadeye trait to try and balance it but still keep it cinematic.

I wasn't going to use him in the game as I thought he would have been to powerful

Will Alfie return in the next installment?  lol lol

Title: Re: Galactic Heroes - Endor Battle
Post by: Skullhamma on August 04, 2019, 08:13:30 PM

One question, please. How is your experience with balancing battles in Galactic Heroes? Do you do a dry-run before your games or do you have developed a feeling how to build corresponding forces? I'm asking because the lack of a point system. Thanks!

Title: Re: Galactic Heroes - Endor Battle
Post by: Elk101 on August 04, 2019, 09:17:22 PM

We've never really had any issues with balance as each group has access to the same number of traits, etc. It's a narrative game rather than the type of game that relies on points systems.

Thanks all
Never had a problem with uneven sides, we have pretty much had the same weapons and numbers on each side

Post by: Skullhamma on August 05, 2019, 07:08:37 AM

Thanks for your replies! I'll keep an eye on the ruleset. Have to try out some other stuff first, but FfoL looks promising, especially for Multiplayer purposes.
