This is the Droid you are looking for

So this week we continued where we had left off. Rogue Teams 4 and 6 had managed to secure the Rebel sympathiser, only to be informed that her astromech was hidden in the swamp and was carrying some important Imperial intel and needed finding. Meanwhile Rogue Teams 2, 3 and 5 were engaged with numerous Stormtroopers as they tried to set explosive charges to the compound.

Heavy fighting in the compound

Teams 4 and 6 slowly made their way towards the swamp, under fire from a handful of remaining Stormtroopers. To make things worse another group of Scout Speeder bikes arrived. The Rebels took the decisive action to double time it to the swamp while a handful of troopers quickly dealt with the new threat.

Teams 2, 3 and 4 though were having a hard time of it. Though they did manage to set all of their charges, casualties were beginning to mount. The Rogue Team 3 decided to head back to the transports, thinking the job was done, much to the chagrin of the remaining commandos who now faced fresh numbers of Stormtroopers.

Lets move out

More Speederbikes

Be careful what you find in the swamp

I got a bad feeling about this

With the presence of the Speederbikes, Team 6 laid down covering fire, quickly dealing with the threat. This allowed the rest of the team tom begin searching the swamp for the Astromech, eventually finding the little blighter. Teams 2 and 5 continued to fall back under pressure from the Stormtroopers, though they did manage to get a couple of shots at the Imperial officer, only for a Stormtrooper to get in the way at the vital moment. With the opportunity gone the remaining Commandos fell back to their transport. At least achieving 3 out of the 4 objectives secured 15 victory points against 8 for the Imperials, Though at a heavy costs to their commando teams.

Lets deal with these Speederbikes

I found him

Next week we have 2 more games planned. The intention is for the missing Rogue Team 1 to finally land and attempt to complete the 4th objective and remove the Imperial officer. The second game will see a Galactic Starfighter game with Rebel X-wings trying to escort the escaping freighters from Imperial Tie fighters.

  1. A costly but successful raid Scotty....you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs! What rules are you using for this? I had a quick scan back through recent posts but could not see a reference to rules?
