Starwars Legion

The  rebels began by scouting the surrounding’s of the out post. The troopers spotted the speeder bikes and took a few pot shots at them from afar. Darth Vader on hearing the shots slowly marched up the field.

The AT-RT pilot charge around the power generator and opened up on the speeder bikes with its rotary blaster. Blowing one out of the sky.

The stormtroopers around the watch tower moved forward and were gunned down by the rebels thinning their numbers.

Darth Vader ignored Luke and threw his lightsabre at the rebel troopers and cut their number in half.  The final speeder  bike shot up the rebels as he flew on by. The stormtroopers near the watch tower charged in to hand to hand combat leaving only the leader standing. The leader of the rebel troops then retreated in to the tower.

Luke charges in to Vader  and start wounding the Sith lord. Vader strikes back but only can manage a flesh wound and then is knocked to the floor by Luke. The stormtroopers in the middle take control of the imperial forces just to be mowed down by the rebels. Another rebel victory.

Leader was painted with khaki, desert yellow, beasty brown, leather brown and necromancer cloak. The troopers are painted with electric blue, wolf grey and necromancer cloak.

Luke, on seeing his father charged straight at him firing from the hip, with little effect. The stormtroopers advanced, thinning out the rebels on the right. The rebels answered back killing many stormtroopers wiping out the left flank. Luke  and Darth met in the middle slogging it out, lightsabres fizzing as they smashed at each other. The speeder bikes flashed across the field blasting at the AT-RT as  they went. Only to be shot out of the sky by the rebel ground troops. Luke was knocked down by the power of the dark side and was almost silenced for ever but for the AT-RT pilot seeing the danger and blasting Vader in the back. Forcing him to retreat with the rest of the imperials. A costly win for the rebels but the imperium will be back and in greater numbers.

First run through of the rules. Must have missed some bits but it was fun to play. Millie very happy at winning; wiping me off the board. She got the hang of the movement quickly using the special widgets. Also the dice worked nicely with the colour and shape changes easy to explain. Time to reread the rules and get ready for the next game.
