Retribution at Ryloth

Since we hadn't got Armada to the table for ages, I put on a narrative scenario at the club recently.  Each side had 400 points to spend and the briefings were as set out below. 

Rebel Briefing

Following the capture of a Quasar Fire-class cruiser-carrier and the destruction of an Arquitens-class light cruiser by Rebel forces over Ryloth, Imperial activity in the sector has substantially increased. This puts the abandoned Clone Wars era station orbiting the system’s outer planet which is being used as a Rebel supply station at risk.

With an Imperial task force under Admiral Motti appearing at Ryloth itself it has become imperative to relocate the vital supplies from the station and also transport Cham Syndulla, leader of the resistance on Ryloth to recruit more Twi’leks to fight the Empire.

Rebel Victory Conditions

The station holds 10 units of supplies each worth 10 points if they are aboard a ship which has left the system. Small ships can only carry 1 unit, medium ships 2 units and large ships 3 units.

Cham Syndulla is worth 20 points if he is aboard a ship that successfully leaves the system.

You will also score points for every Imperial ship and squadron destroyed equal to their point value but lose points for every Rebel ship or squadron destroyed on the same basis.

Imperial Briefing

Following the capture of a Quasar Fire-class cruiser-carrier and the destruction of an Arquitens-class light cruiser by insurgent forces over Ryloth, Imperial activity in the sector has been substantially increased.

Your Imperial task force under Admiral Motti has been dispatched to Ryloth to root out these rebels and neutralise them.  You also need to locate and capture or eliminate Cham Syndulla, leader of the resistance on Ryloth to prevent him from inciting more Twi’leks to resist the Empire.

Imperial Agents have brought intelligence of activity near an abandoned Clone Wars era station orbiting the outer planet in the system.

Imperial Victory Conditions

The station holds 10 units of supplies each worth 10 points if they destroyed whilst still in the system. Note that small Rebel ships can only carry 1 unit, medium ships 2 units and large ships 3 units.

Cham Syndulla is worth 20 points if he is aboard a ship that is destroyed in the system.

You will also score points for every Rebel ship and squadron destroyed equal to their point value but lose points for every Imperial ship or squadron destroyed on the same basis.

Here are some photos from the game:

Despite the Star Destroyer obliterating the station, some clever play by the Rebels including the escape of Cham Syndulla, meant a Rebel win this time.
