Post a Comment On: Fawcett Avenue Conscripts

[Image] "You are free to use any methods necessary but I want them alive - no disintegrations!"  [Image] On Thursday Conscript Frederick came over. I had set up a small multi-faction Star Wars Miniature Battles game. The idea was to capture the droid standing in the middle of the table, but to combat what I call the McWatt factor (i.e. the tendency in multi-player games of one player to "camp" until the other players wipe each other out, then grab to objective at the end) I specified that one VP would be awarded for each turn that the faction had a model in base contact with the objective droid. You can slap a restraining bolt on him and move him around too, of course!

[Image] Being as there was just the two of us, we rolled randomly for choice of faction. Frederick got Boba Fett (50 pts), I got the Imperials (~65 pts - an Officer, three Navy Troopers, four Stormtroopers and a heavy Stormtrooper).

[Image] We started in the corner with the Shuttle.

[Image] Looks pretty good on the Skyshield landing pad, eh?

[Image] Sludge tanks from Armorcast are new too...

[Image] On to the game. My Imperials move out from under the pad...

[Image] A few turns later, the Droid is safely in Imperial custody and withdrawing towards the Shuttle. This is the turn that Fett kills the last two Navy troopers - he's already done for the Officer and one Trooper.

[Image] Even though the Imperials had custody of the Droid for five turns, he will leave with Fett... that's just the way it is when you have 11o hit points and a Defence of 20 :-)

[Image] The end of another successful hunt! I like this scenario and it will be fun to play it four-cornered... I had another bounty hunter group and a group of Rebels ready to play as well. I think the "Fett effect" (i.e. the fact that he is grossly overpowered for the points) will be significantly lessened with more factions on the table.
