Star Wars Galactic Heroes

 

5/4/24


Greetings fellow Grognards and Young Guard!  Hope you are all doing well!  For this installment, I've dug into the picture archives, in honor of the May the 4th Celebration!


Last year, my daughter, cats (you'll see!) and I slugged it out on a 4' x 4' battlefield in a small section of Tatooine.  The scenario set a Rebel force against local Imperial Police Force of Sandtroopers.  Objective for the Rebels was to cross the board and highjack the cargo shuttle.  For the Sandtroopers, it was prevent the shuttle from being taken.  

Sandtroopers started with a stimulation that they could not proceed towards the shuttle, which was on the opposite corner of the board, same deployment side as their forces, until they were either fired upon but the Rebels or passed a skill test to perceive/ detect the Rebels headed to the ship.

Luckily for the Stormtroopers, it only took until the second turn when the Rebels decided to take the initiative and cut loose on the unsuspecting Imperial forces!  Damn the Rebel scum!

The battle was fast and furious!  Unfortunately, we had to cut the battle short!  The Young Guard had done well, but the Imperial forces did enough damage to the Rebels to drive them off to call it a win for the Grognard!
