Return of the Empire Striking Back
« 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  :)

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.

Fistful of Lead Galactic Heroes on first play seems excellent.  :)

Shame you didn’t post the photo of the Jedi being shot... ;) lol

Excellent report of a very enjoyable game James.

Now we just need more terrain, more figures and some vehicles for the next game!  lol

A thing of beauty indeed. Must keep resisting the call.....
Enjoying the game is ALWAYS more important than winning the game.
