We have our table set up, our models prepared and ready for battle on our attempt to replicate the Star Wars Battlefront atmosphere of ground level dog fight show downs. Lloyd and Killian get down to strategize the best scenario and rules for play.
I can’t wait to see this play out.
sounds like a brilliant game brewing guys, is the rebel wing emblem a lemming?
Looking good might attempt it myself.
I’ve run a similar scenario lately (Death Star trench run, but with far less impressive terrain). I had a lot of trouble balancing the turrets. I ended up with this: Range: 5 Hitpoints: 3 Evade: 1 green die (to similate some sort of shielding/damage control) Firepower: 2 red die, but each not cancelled hit counts as 3 damage Action: Turret Stabilize Turret Stabilize: This makes you immune to critical hits (gets rid of keeping track, most of the time you would forget it anyway) and it ignores 1 damage from primary weapons in each shot. This resulted in turrets which… Read more »
Great suggestions, I’ve been struggling to make the turrets both scary and still give the Rebel Player a chance to take them out.
Giving them the extra range with the turobolaser range will let them engage early but if they have low accuracy it should balance out.
Hull 3-5 sounds about right but I’d take away the evade since by nature they are static objects. Any shots made by the rebel player at range 3 will automatically give the turrets a green evade dice to roll which represents the decreased accuracy of the Rebel shots at long range.
That’s fine too and yeah turrets can’t evade. I just wanted the turret controlling player to roll something, so that he doesn’t feel left out 😀 The question came up in our round “how a turret can evade”. My answer was something about damage controll team or sensor jammers or something.
Also remember when balancing you only get that extra green die on range 3 (or for that matter the extra red die on range 1) with primary weapons. Not torpedos and such.
It sounds like you are creating a Starwars tower defense game. But it also sounds very exciting.
