Annihilation Looms

Once again the Imperials had stolen the initiative and wasted no time moving the E-Web into a position from which it would cover the objective with a standby action.

Seeing an opportunity to counter this move, the surviving leader of the Wookiee Warriors, made a bold move through an opening in the side of the work shack to charge the E-Web from outside of its fire arc!

Though the weapons team suffered only a single wound in the ambush, they would now be occupied fending off an enraged man carpet! But the Imperials had plenty of units still in the fight and opened up a Mortar Volley on Jyn Erso, scoring a perfect shot!

Taking no chances, Jyn opted to Duck and Cover, gaining a 2nd suppression, allowing  her to roll five dice in defence of the attack, due to her Danger Senses. She escaped with only a single wound, however due to the Suppressive nature of the mortar attack, was now left with four suppression tokens.

Sensing an opportunity, Krennic ordered any available troops to target the heroin as they continued their advance on the objective, ramping her suppression up to a staggering seven!

Jyn had resisted activating as long as was reasonable but eventually had to attempt to rally. She needed to clear just two of the suppression markers to avoid panic and with seven dice to roll, had a good chance of achieving this…

Fate had different plans however and Jyn was forced to flee in a state of panic! Fortunately for the rebels, her move took her just shy of the table edge.
