It's them! blast em!!

Well Thursday night saw the start of a mini campaign set in the Star Wars universe using the Galactic Heroes rules from Wiley Games. Each team was given a random objective to achieve, which would hopefully lead to a little double-crossing.

D'Vas and his team were to locate one of the terminals in one of the towers, then to download some intel on the Tie Fighter programme before making their mistake. The second rebel team lead by Jon Oberte were out to settle a gambling debt, owed over 2,000 galactic credits by D'vas. The third team was led by the bounty Hunter Se'an M'voy. He was looking to collect the bounty for the apprehension of Jon Oberte, He was worth more alive.

The local technicians and security forces were just going about their normal business. The Security teams would only start to arrive once the first shot was fired. So first turn, D'vas and his team moved in, spotted a technician minding his own business and promptly fired at him. So now security wereon their way. So much for sneaking in.

Did someone mention guard dogs/cats?

By now gun fire was was the order of the day. The poor technicians seemed to take the brunt of it. Meanwhile Se'an moved in to confront Jon. Taking out Squ Idwar early on. Hal rushed to his aid to administer some medical aid and was promptly shot down by the droid DX-66

By now the central area of the table was filling up with security forces. Meanwhile D'vas and his team had located a terminal and began their criminal activities. That is until they were disturbed by a pair of Nexu that that they had to fight off.

Eventually Squ Idwar struggled to his feet only to see his leader Jon Oberte gunned down. In a rage he rushed into close combat with Se'an before taking the bounty hunter down. His victory was short lived as he was promptly gunned down by Dan Garr. So with leaders down and D'vas making his escape into the jungle we called the game at an end. Luckily all out of action figures recovered from their wounds. Though Dx-66 was shot full of holes and will miss the next mission. Both Jon Oberte and Se'an M'voy have been taken into custody and await the arrival of a prison transport.

  3. Sounds like your players are just like mine. "Look, innocent technicians going about their job...let's blast 'em!!" Great report. Was a player controlling Security, or were they randomly controlled?

    1. I was left controlling the security teams. They were just basic grunts, couldn't hit a barn door
