Star Wars Rampant

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, a really bad dude was looking for some rebels.

After painting up my little stormtroopers and rebels i needed something for them to do.

I have seen many rules that are sci fi orientated and others but a certain amount of disbelief was also required.

I am getting too old and lazy to learn more rules so i decided to try and use Dragon Rampant.

I really enjoy the simplicity of them and with a bit of imagination they can be turned to almost anything, with of course maybe a few house rules.

So here it is, the first of hopefully many adventures in the Star Wars universe.


The evil empire

Lord Vader = elite foot(sith) with invisibility and hatred of jedi 10 points
stormtrooper squad = light missiles 4 points x 2
stormtrooper support gun crews = light missiles with sharpshooter 6 points
24 points

The rebel alliance
Captain Solo's squad = lesser warbeast with flame attack 6 points
rebel commandos = light foot with mixed weapons 5 points x 2
rebel heavy weapons squad = heavy missiles 4 points x 2
24 points

The coin toss made the imperium the defender
Mission rolled The pot boiler.

 The starting positions, Empire in the middle of the table, Rebels appearing from the table edges.

 Instead of the 'pot boiler' scenario this was re-imagined as the empire have rounded up the locals for interrogation, and will at the end of the turn have disposed of them one by one.

Captain solo leads the advance towards the evil empire, with both commando squads following on, his comm link goes down and the support weapons fail to get the order.
Vader is immediately aware of the situation and advances on Solo's squad, the support squad open fire on the commandos.

 Captain Solo gets distracted by his broken comm link and fails to give any orders....

Lord Vader attacks and pushes back Solo killing 3 rebels in the process.

Captain Solo judges the better part of valor is in retreat, and hastily departs the scene, causing a commando and a support unit to run with him.

The remaining commandos desperately take a stand, causing a few casualties before being captured.



Well, that was quick and deadly, in reflection it may look as if the empire had the advantage from the beginning with the uber tough Vader, but it was actually very poor dice from the rebels that blew away there chance of victory.

I will stick with the stat lines i have for the moment, and see how it goes, and adjust things if needed.

Thanks for looking and stay tuned for more adventures soon.....
