"Sorry About The Mess"

Having won first turn the imperials immediately opened fire with the AtSt. The ion hit from the previous turn reduced the Walker to a single activation, and receiving a second hit could render the Walker inoperable this turn.

As the linked targeting array had already given the Walker an aim token it opted to fire, repeating the shot of the previous turn. Again its attack was less impressive than it could’ve been, killing two veterans this time and putting a second wound on the turret.

The rebels returned fire on the Walker with every available unit. Most notably Bistain’s ion gun and the Mercenary ‘Snrak’ with a P13-M Disruptor in his squad. The Walker had an abysmal round of saves and suffered a punishing 9 wounds, as well as a further ion token and became immobilised by the damage!

The Stormtrooper Squad with the Astromech opened fire on Pao’s unit, felling two, while the droid did what it could to patch up the damaged Walker. Fett now entered the fray, jet packing onto the wreckage to gun down three more of the pathfinders. However, Pao was canny enough to have ‘Prepared Supplies’, allowing the unit to dodge one of the hits and saving a member of his crew.

Amidst the fire fight that was erupting across the prow of the YT-1300, the Scout Squad deployed a second mine before moving back out of range of the blast. They then detonated the first mine they had laid, catching both Han and Chewee in the blast! Chewee took the brunt of the damage, suffering two wounds while Han escaped harm due to his ‘Uncanny Luck’. Both heroes suffered two Suppression tokens, due to the effects of the mine.

Too stunned to participate in the turn, Chewee had no choice but to keep his head down, taking a dodge action but also giving a dodge to Han due his ‘Teamwork ability’. Han made an advance from cover, opening fire on the Scouts and Boba Fett using his ‘Gunslinger’ skill. A single scout was felled while Fett suffered a wound. The scoundrel clearly thought better of this brash move as he immediately ran back into cover!

The Ship Troopers secured the objective on the Rebels Norther flank, before breaking cover to move towards the Southern side of the battle.
