One of the guys in our club, Duncan, traditionally hosts a war-game sometime between Christmas and New Years Day at his house. \u00a0This year we combined a viewing of the new Star Wars movie in the morning with a Star Wars game in the afternoon. \u00a0For this game, we used the recently released Star Wars supplement for Combat Patrol(TM): WWII<\/a>. \u00a0The scenario, The Trap, involved a group of Rebels attacking the cargo bay of an Imperial ship. \u00a0Stormtroopers counterattack from two sides and dealt he blast doors. \u00a0Later in the scenario, the crew of the Phantom from the Rebels TV series reinforce the rebels and try to get them out of the bay. \u00a0The Rebels are also assisted by Asoka Tano.<\/p>\n

We rebels were in the middle of the bay as sitting ducks when the Stormtroopers sprang their trap. \u00a0The Stormtroopers were led by Darth Duncan (Vader).<\/p>\n

One of the Rebel squads was pretty well decimated early in the game by advancing Stormtroopers. \u00a0Asoka launchd herself at the Stormtroopers. \u00a0After a few rounds of hand-to-hand combat, she defeated a squad.<\/p>\n

To win, the Rebels had to get out of one of the two blast doors on opposite sides of the cargo bay. \u00a0They picked one side and dashed for it. \u00a0Unfortunately, that was the side led by Darth Duncan. \u00a0Duncan unleashed the Sith power of “Rage.” \u00a0This essentially launched his Stormtroopers in a banzai charge against the Rebels. \u00a0While Darth Duncan’s Stormtroopers were pretty badly mangled in the attack, he tied up the Rebels and gave the other Stormtroopers a chance to close on our rear from the other blast door.<\/p>\n

By the end of the game, most of our named heroes had been incapacitated except for Asoka, and most of our Rebels were also knocked out. \u00a0It was a pretty convincing victory for the Imperial forces. \u00a0Greg will be running this scenario at Barrage<\/a> and Cold Wars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
