Some quick suggestions

Use the scenario to determine how to place tour opposing force

Deal out your own hand for activation but none for the opfor

Pick your highest card for activation

Reveal the top card of the deck. If it beats yours then an opfor unit activates first. If not then you activate

If the card has a special rules then apply it to the opfor unit that would benefit from it. If not then activate the closest unit that has LoS to one of your troops. If no LoS then closest opfor unit.

Assign a type of activity to the card suit
Diamonds - move toward scenario goal
Hearts - recover or use special ability
Spades - fire if possible
Clubs - move into CC if possible

If no LoS then just move towards cover that is closest to scenario objective
If the activated

Thanks for the suggestion. Will aim to try it out this week.

Quick question.

Thought I read somewhere (possibly here), that when creating a Galactic Hero (Or Villain), not only do they get 'Leader' for free, but also use a D12.

The Leader bit is in the rulebook, but the d12 bit isn't. Did I imagine it?

Must be imagining. You have to choose Veteran. Which for a Hero is highly recommended.

Thanks for the reply. I think the question arose because the Galactic Heroes & Villains in the Codex Galactica all seem to use a d12 without having Veteran as a trait.

I’ve only played one game so far, but the kids enjoyed it (I could tell by the arguing, which made my head hurt!) This clarification is helpful, as It was all a bit on the fly, and I wondered about the dice types.
