Wolfs Wabble of Wowdy Webels

As told by Commander Wolf of the Rebel Alliance many years after.

This is a new campaign, I’ve just called it War.

For the ground battles we are using Star Wars Legion rules and what I call the Republic starting box, with a few more extras. While playing with my friend, Me, Myself and I, it accrued to me the starter box might be suited well for anyone.

(Also you might see the lack of Unit Points, not being used. As I like my forces looking good and not always so evenly matched).

So we start from once upon a time in a galaxy far far way.

Dar Dar,

Da Da Da Da, Dar, Dar

Da Da Da Da, Dar Dar

Da Da Da Da. Dar.

Our 1st encounter.

Rescue at Geonosis.

Geonosis is a barren planet, a desert planet and a bug planet. The insect species dominate the world thanks to the heat that drove all life forms underground. Living in towering hives and far below the ground, Geonosis mining continues to prosper. The ore of this planet is being used in huge production buildings for making droids and their equipment for the possibility of an on-coming war.

1st Action… “The Drop Zone, Commander”.

“Come help, we have”.

The Jedi brought with them a new army of Clones. As Obi-Wan Kanobi sent out a distress call for help. He described what was happening here on Geonosis and told them, all enemy commanders were present and their plans. The commanders where building an army and to top it all off, the ex-Jedi Count Dooku was also here.

Forces…

Use 1 Jedi (I used Obi-Wan Kanobi) and 2 full units of Phase 1 Clones, in units of 6 men, these are placed in the Drop Zone area, center point of the 2’x2′ arena.

V’s

4 units of 8, B1 Battle Droid Troopers, are used against them. One of these units sgt, becomes their commander in charge. Each unit of 8 Droids would come in on a different tables edge. (In the box you only have two droid units, then once a unit is destroyed another unit would come on to the battle area from another tables edge).

Objective and Terrain…

The Drop Zone is an open area, so no cover is used in this arena.

Place 1 objective counter in the center of the area, this will now become the Drop Zone.

Time…

“This action only lasts 4 turns”.

• You gain 1 point per unit you destroy.
• Who ever holds the center objective, will gain 1 point at the end of the 4th turn.
• Count up the points you collect as they will be used in the 3rd action.

2nd Action… A war has started.

Obi-Wan Kanobi leads some Clone units into the huge cave system pursuing the commanders, only to be stopped at the doors of the production buildings by the defending droids.

Forces…

Use Obi-Wan Kanobi and 4 units of Phase 1 Clones (in units of 5 men).

If only using the box set, the 3rd and 4th unit of Clones will enter from their own starting tables edge when the next full unit comes available.

V’s

General Grievous and his 1 unit of 2 Droidekas and 2 units of 8, B1 Battle Droid Troopers.

Objective and Terrain…

The area is under ground in a huge cave. 4 rocky areas are used as heavy cover, two buildings are placed along the droid tables edge but are lock and nobody is able to enter. While 3 objective markers are placed about this area. Objectives 1 and 2 are placed 4″ away from the doors of the Droid Buildings and objective 3 is placed 6″ from the Clones base edge.

Time…

This encounter lasts 5 turns. “Tick, Tock”.

• Gain 1pt after destroying an enemy unit.
• Who ever holds any of the 3 available objectives by the end of the 5th turn will gain 1 point per objective held.
• Count up the points you collect as they will be used in the 3rd action.

3rd Action…All out war on Geonosis.

“Stop them, we must” “Get away, we can not allow”.

In the distance there are 6 Star Ships waiting to leave the planet. The droids are fighting defensively as the main force withdraws to the Star Ships for their escape.

Forces…

Use a Jedi (Anakin Skywalker or General Kenobi), 2 units of Phase 1 Clones in units of 5 men and 1 BARC Speeder with Sidecar. With possible Clone Trooper reinforcements (see below for explanation).

V’s

Using a Force User (Count Duuko or General Grievous), 1 unit of 2 Droidekas and 2 units of 8, B1 Battle Droid Troopers. With possible Droid Trooper reinforcements, (see below for explanation).

Objective and Terrain…

Place down terrain as you wish, although this is fought over an open space and a few rocks could be placed here and there allowing for hard cover.

3 objectives, the 1st is placed in the center of the Droids base edge. The 2nd is placed in the center of the fighting area and the 3rd is placed in the center of the Clones base edge.

Time and Space…

This part of the battle lasts for 6 turns.

Reinforcements arrive when a Trooper Unit is destroyed and a new Trooper Unit is placed on their base edge. You can replace 1 unit for each point you have gained from the actions in battles 1 and 2.

Victory points (VP)…

• Gain 1 VP for each unit you have destroyed during this action (3rd Battle).
• Gain 1 VP for each objective under your command at the end of the 6th turns.
• If the Droids win then all Star Ships take off into space. The remaining droids on the Battle field are shut down “Roger, Roger” and these are not added to your score.
• For every 2VP’s the Clones have over the Droids -1 Star Ship can leave, as its blown out of the sky during take off. Remaining droids on the field of battle are shut down “Roger, Roger” and these are not added to your score.

Every Star Ships that take to the sky, is equal to how many more battles are left to play during the main campaign WAR..

(A quick one here, as no Commanders were killed during these encounters so if a Character is killed, no just escapes wounded).

In a Galaxy far far away,

Star Wars

Comes the Clone Wars.

As told by Commander Wolf of the Rebel Alliance.

Number 2

War has come.

The Clones wars have begun.

From Supreme Chancellor Palpatine.

With the recent event at Geonosis, the Republic is now at war.

The Clone armies are now dispatched under the leadership of the Jedi and sped out, throughout the Galaxy.

All Jedi are given the task to deal with this threat of the Separatist Armies.

Dar, Dar,

This is the second part of our on going Campaign, we’ve just called WAR.

Battle on Vulpter.

The planet is covered in red rocks and red dust, which was the aftermath of the strip miming for ore above and below ground that the Republic needed for the production of ships. Now only controlled by the Separatist and its Mining Clan.

The base which is need to be taken is the main weapons and maintenance building under ground, so the landing zone was well back out of sight from prying eyes of any droid and anti-air gunner. But to get up to their objectives they had to go up the valleys, which in time the Clones would call it Death Valley, as many Clones would loose their lives getting there.

1st Action. Surprise, M–F’s.

A small outpost is just off the open ground from where the Clones had landed. Which is  at the beginning of Death Valley and this would be their first contact upon Vulpter.

• Reinforcements arrive, each one of your units that is destroyed will return during this time as Clones arrive or Droids are built.
• Clone units arrive from clone own objective point, so don’t destroy that one.
• Droid units arrive from different buildings, Vehicles arrive from the Vehicle production building. Droid troopers either arrive from Barracks and come on in 8’s or the Droid production facility and come on in 6’s with out any extras. So you must point out to the enemy which building is which.

If both sides are even after turn 6, then game on until the next point is won.

So ends the first Battle of Vulpter, go on to the next battle, or not as the case maybe.

NUMBER 3

Many of the planets in the Outer Rim are just to far to get too as the Separatists hold most of the Hyper space lanes. The Separatists drum up support for the Coalition by attacking those planets which still hold out support for the Republic system.
