I really can't recall what drove me to put on these games at the club but I suspect it was probably a combination of rediscovering my Wizards of the Coast Star Wars Miniatures figures combined with a desire to try out the Galactic Heroes rules from the Fistful of Lead family by Wiley Games.
Fortunately the rules have a number of examples clearly inspired by the Star Wars franchise - which was helpful given the limitations of the range of figures in my collection.
I decided on two linked scenarios, the first based around a crashed ship with the Rebels trying to prevent the Imperials from recovering the pilot and any information relating to the location of the rebel base.
Scenario 1 - Search and Recover
In the end the Rebels failed to either rescue the pilot (he was a casualty of the encounter) and some clues to the location of the Rebel base fell into the hands of the Imperials. It did at least give the Rebels the chance to prepare for the inevitable assault on their base.
Been meaning to try these rules out for a while. Anything to dust off the star wars collection
ReplyDeleteThey do give an entertaining game; however, as always you need to be careful with the main characters as they can either seem underpowered (compared to the films) or game breaking!
