May the Fourth meg battles
« on: May 13, 2022, 02:15:08 PM »
Not too long ago in a basement not so far away...

May 7th, in honor of May the Fourth, we hosted a GALACTIC sized Star Wars game. I’ve done games that were linked, where the outcome of one is directly linked to the next game in the series. But I’ve always wanted to a set of games that were linked but also simultaneous and interconnected. Three separate games, going on at the same time, but each game has an effect on the others.

Luckily, I’ve got a large enough gaming space at my house to host my mad idea.

Background
Imperial base Omicron on the planet Covid Prime has been a thorn in the side of the Rebellion. Most of the planet has been taken for the Rebel cause, but Omicron has been able to hold off several assaults due to the forcefield protecting it. A massive Rebel army has assembled for one final attack, but only if the rest of the mission goes as planned.

An asteroid base in orbit above Covid Prime is providing the force field to Omicron below. The generators must be shut down before the final attack can begin. A Rebel assault team has landed and is tasked with shutting down the forcefield. They are dangerously outnumbered by Imperial troops, but luckily, help is on the way.

Rapidly approaching the asteroid is a group of assault ships carrying Rebel reinforcements. They are protected by fighters and escorts. The Rebels must get through if the assault team on the asteroid has any hope of success. The Empire has an ad hoc squadron to try and stop them.

What this broke down to:

A 6 person Starfighters! game that was an assault on an orbital generator asteroid providing a force field to the base on the planet below.

A 6 person Galactic Heroes game that was the actual attack inside the orbiting field generator in the corridors of the base.

An 8 person Bigger Battle that was the assault on the Imperial planetary base.

Each success provided help to the other teams. Each failure meant the other teams had to pick up the slack.

As usual, a full AAR and more pics at the blog: http://baronvonj.blogspot.com/2022/05/playing-simultaneous-interconnected.html
