Death star attack AAR in French
« on: July 06, 2013, 12:24:24 PM »
Bonjour,
voilà, le jour de la délivrance est enfin arrivé; après tant d'heures passées sur le chantier, j'ai pu tester l'attaque de l'étoile noire!
Cédric est donc passé hier soir et je l'ai obligé à jouer ce scénario...:roll: :D
On a commencé par une mise en jambe avec un 2vs2 (tie et interceptor vs A wing et Y wing). Un affrontement très équilibré qui s'est soldé par une victoire rebelle, principalement due au blindage élevé du Y-wing qui a encaissé pas mal de coup.

On a ensuite sortie la table; les règles spéciales pour la tranchée tiennent sur 2 pages et sont très faciles à retenir.

Cédric défendait l'étoile avec 5 tie (3 pilotes de l'académie et 2 de l'escadron noir). Pas d'amélioration, mais par contre, tout tie détruit revient en jeu le tour suivant.
De mon coté, comme rebelle j'avais Dutch Wanders (gold leader y wing), Garven Dreis (red leader X wing) et 2 pilotes de l'escadron rouge sur X wing. Tout le monde porte des torpilles à proton.

Le but rebelle étant de toucher la bouche de refroidissement pour faire tout sauter (vous avez vu le film...) et l'empire doit l'en empêcher en maintenant à distance les rebelles pendant 10 tours (après, la base rebelle sera détruite) ou en détruisant tous les vaisseaux rebelles portant des torpilles.

Déploiement:


Ailerons d'attaque en position


Les senseurs ont détecté des échos dans votre secteurs:



Les premiers échanges de tir voient un tie voler en morceaux et un 2è endommagé; un pilote de l'escadron rouge (red 10) perd ses boucliers. Les tourelles de DCA tirent sans discontinuer, faisant sauter quelques boucliers du Y wing. Les tourelles sont très peu efficace individuellement, mais leur arc de tir de 360° et leur nombre peuvent rapidement devenir un problème pour un chasseur peu maniable comme le Y wing.

Red leader (Garven Dreis), est le premier à piquer dans la tranchée. Il commence à calibrer son collimateur pour cibler la bouche d'entrée.

Des tie plongent dans ses 6 heures et le prennent en chasse. Une seule touche à la coque et c'est l'éjection illico de la tranchée; il faut que les boucliers tiennent le coup.



Red 11 pique à son tour pour couvrir les arrières de son leader.
Red 10 prend un dégât important, neutralisant ses torpilles à proton; il ne pourra plus attaquer l'étoile.



Le Y wing de Dutch Wanders plonge enfin dans la tranchée et se retrouve au coté de Red leader.
Les tirs fusent de partout, mais Red 10 et 11 couvrent les 2 leaders correctement en éliminant les tie poursuivants.



Mais les impériaux ne sont déterminés à les laisser faire et Red 10 se fait abattre dans la tranchée.

Dutch et Garven foncent vers l'objectif, les boucliers encaissant quelques tirs de tourelles. Les menaces Tie ayant été éliminées par Red 11, la voie est ouverte. Les autres Tie sont désormais trop loin pour les rattraper.


Red 11 est touché et doit quitter la tranchée. Dutch et Garven arrivent devant la bouche. Il n'y en a qu'un seul qui peut tenter sa chance, il n' y a qu'un seul plot permettant le tir.

On est au tour 8.
Comme dans le film, c'est Red leader, alias Garven Dreis, qui tire ses torpilles....
Il est dans la tranchée depuis le début, et à chaque avancée, il a fait une action spéciale "stay on target", au détriment des actions de concentration pouvant lui permettre d'esquiver les tirs.
Il arrive tout de même au bout, sans bouclier, et je peux lancer 7 dés d'attaque. Il me faut une touche critique non sauvegardée pour réussir. La bouche a 3 dés de défense.
Je suis relativement confiant, en terme de jeu, 7 dés d'attaque est la configuration optimale.
Je lance mes 7 dés et..... pas une touche critique. Elle a explosé à la surface. :affraid: Comme dans le film :P .

Il y a une autre possibilité, c'est Red 11. il a été éjecté, mais il peut replonger et faire un dernier tir. Il n'en aura pas l'occasion, les tourelles de surface lui prendront son dernier point de coque avant qu'il n'ait pu amorcer sa descente.

on est au tour 9.
Dutch Wanders et Garven Dreis sont les 2 survivants; ils ressortent de la tranchée. Les Tie se rapprochent. A la fin du tour suivant, l'étoile noire détruira Yavin IV ainsi que la base rebelle.

Il ne reste que Dutch qui a des torpilles; il peut encore piquer et tirer.

Tour 10 :pale:

Dutch fait un looping et redescend en position de tir. Garven l'accompagne pour le fun.
Les tie sont derrière eux, mais Dutch a l'initiative et tire le premier. Il fait une action "stay on target" et se retrouve avec 2 dés d'attaque, face à 3 dés de défense. Il me faut 1 touche critique (1 face sur 8...:silent: ).

Roulement de tambour; je lance les dés... :shock:



[size=12]ET BBBBBAAAAOOOOUUUUUUUMMMMMMM[/size]



"Great shot, Kid. That was one in a million!!!":drunken:


LE coup de bol, au tour 10. C'est une victoire rebelle :cheers:

C'était une partie excellente. On remet ça quand on veut, à 2 ou à 4 joueurs, impérial ou rebelle.
On a bien rigolé. Merci Cédric.

 Épatant! Merci pour l’AAR et les photos.

Deux questions : c’est‘il difficile d’accéder le milieu du tranchée pour placer les miniatures? Les dix tours ont prises combiens d'heures à jouer?

Quick translation for the others: 5 Ties vs 4 rebels. Lots of action just like the film with first attack on the port failing, second blowing up the Deathstar.

De rien, tout le plaisir est pour moi  ;)

On accède par les bouts, sous les plaques translucides. La tranchée est assez profonde pour passer une main au dessus des vaisseaux.

On a dû jouer environ 2h je pense.

Google Translate will be my somewhat imperfect friend, later, but those images are STUNNING!

Well done!

Whatever you do, if you speak French, do NOT try this at home. Do NOT use Google Translate to see what I saw!  ::)

Still, gave me enough to say 'Salute!' at a couple of great games; your 'shakedown' with Y Wing sounds like every other one I heard.

The big battle was a nail biter to the end, JUST like the film! Well done!

The board is simply awesome!    :o

Unfortunately I didn't understand anything of the report. Even the answer on the question how to place the models was too much for Google translator...    :(

However I enjoyed the pictures very much and I would appreciate some information about how the board was built.

Cheers
Stefan

They place the models through the gaps between the clear plates. He says that the trench is deep enough to move a hand over the models.
Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons,

OK, Ok, i do it in English;  :)
Sorry for the mistakes  :?

Hello,
here we are, the day of deliverance has finally arrived, and after so many hours spent on the project, I've tested the attack on the Death Star!
Cedric went last night and I have to force him to play this scenario ...: roll :: D
We started first with a 2vs2 (tie and interceptor vs A and Y wing). A very balanced confrontation that resulted in a rebel victory, mainly due to high shielding of the Y-wing.

Then, let's start on the death star table, the special rules for the trench stand on two pages and are very easy to remember.

Cedric defended the star with 5 tie (3 pilots of the academy and 2 black squadron). No improvement, but against, any tie destroyed back into play the next round.
From my side, I have the rebel Dutch Wanders (gold wing leader there), Garven Dreis (Leader X red wing) and two pilots of the red squadron on X wing. Everyone carries proton torpedoes.

Rebel goal is to reach the mouth of port exhaust to blow the star (you've seen the movie ...) and the empire must stop rebels for 10 rounds (after the rebel base will be destroyed ) or destroying all rebel ships carrying torpedoes.

Deployment:



wings in attack position


The sensors detected echoes in your sector:



The first exchanges of fire blow a tie and damaged 2nd, a pilot of the Red Squadron (red 10) loses its shields. AAA turrets shoot continuously blowing some shields Y wing. The turrets are very inefficient individually, but their firing arc of 360 ° and their numbers can quickly become a problem for some handy hunter as Y wing.

Red leader (Garven Dreis), is the first to dive into the trench. He begins to calibrate its sights to target the mouth.

Tie dive in its 6:00 and take hunting. One shot to the hull and is pronto ejection of the trench; must hold up the shields.



Red 11 get down too to cover the back of his leader.
Red 10 is a significant damage, neutralizing its proton torpedoes, he can not attack the star.



The Y wing Dutch Wanders finally plunged into the trench and is at the side of Red leader.
The shots come from all sides, but Red 10 and 11 cover the two leaders correctly by removing tie pursuers.



But the imperial are determined and Red 10 was shot down in the trench.

Dutch and Garven rush towards the goal, shields cashing some fire turrets. Tie threats have been eliminated by Red 11, the way is open. The others tie are now too far away to catch.


Red 11 is hit at the hull and must leave the trench. Dutch and Garven arrive before the mouth. There is only one who can take a chance, there is only one plot for the shot.

It is the turn 8.
As in the film, this is Red leader, alias Garven Dreis, which draws its torpedoes ....
He is in the trench from the beginning, and each advance, he made a special action "stay on target" at the expense of concentration steps may allow him to dodge fire.
It happens all the same to the end, without shield, and I can roll 7 attack dice. I need a critical hit to success unsaved. The mouth has three defense dice.
I am fairly confident in terms of game 7 attack dice is the optimal configuration.
I throw my dice and 7 ..... not a critical hit. It exploded on the surface. : Affraid: As in the movie: P.

There's another possibility is Red 11. He was ejected, but it can plunge and make a last shot. It will not have the opportunity, turrets surface take his last point of hull before he could begin his descent.

it is the turn 9.
Dutch Wanders and Garven Dreis are two survivors, they emerge from the trench. Tie are approaching. At the end of the next turn, the black star destroy Yavin IV and the rebel base.

There are only Dutch who had torpedoes left, he can still dive back and pull.

Tour 10: pale:

Dutch made a loop and comes down in the firing position. Garven accompanying for fun.
The tie behind them, but Dutch has initiative and shot the first. He make an action "stay on target" and ends up with two attack dice against three defense dice. I need one critical hit (1 side of 8 ...: silent:).

Drum roll, I roll the dice ... : Shock:



ET BBBBBAAAAOOOOUUUUUUUMMMMMMM



. "Great shot, kid That was one in a million!" Drunken:


THE stroke of luck to turn 10. This is a rebel victory cheers:

It was a great game. Do it again as soon as possible, 2 or 4 players, imperial or rebel.
We had lot of fun. Thank you Cedric.
