We found that combat really slowed down the game, especially the Tactics cards, which seemed a little fiddly. Setup took about a half-hour, but the game itself was almost four hours to complete. The game ended, the Rebellion successful at persuading the galaxy that the time of the Empire was at its end. However, it was too late - the Rebel forces and their expert diplomacy has taken their toll.

only to find no Rebel activity on the planet! The Rebel Base was on Tatooine or Ryloth. Meanwhile, the Rebel forces were assembling at Naboo, while my large Imperial fleet at Dagobah prepared for an attack on the Rebel fleet.ĭantooine was taken. I only needed to send my forces to find the Rebel Base and destroy it. I had winnowed down the possible locations of the Rebel Base to one of three systems: Dantooine (in lower left section of the board), Tatooine, or Ryloth (which were both in the upper right section of the board). Chewbacca was captured after completing a mission on Malastare, but did not succumb to my attempt at turning him to Dark Side.Įnd Game - With the second Death Star completed, I now had two armed and fully operational Death Stars. Luke was completing his Jedi training with Yoda on Dagobah, while far overhead the planet Moff Jerjerrod was overseeing the building of the second Death Star. Mid Game - There was a failed attempt by the Rebels to blow up the first Death Star.

Strom never got Obi-Wan during the game and only received Han and Chewie just before mid-game.

We both recruited leaders and slowly built up our forces. I would concentrate on running through the Probe Droid deck to try and quickly locate the Rebel Base.Įarly Game - General Rieekan had been captured and frozen in carbonite on Mandalore. Strategy - My strategy was to split the map in half and have one large force on each side of the map capable of destroying the Rebel Base, once located. We used the Quick Start rules to quickly jump into the game. I was the Empire and Strom was the Rebellion. This morning Strom came over for a morning game session to try out our first game of Star Wars: Rebellion from Fantasy Flight Games.
