The campaign is about Armada and Two Hours Wargames, using 5150 Star Navy rules. (wargamesinhk.blogspot.hk/2016/04/star-wars-campaign-at-edge-of-empire_13.html) During Episode VEDGE OF THE EMPIRE It is a period of grave danger. The battle of Hoth has been lost for the Rebellion and it took flight. While it can still count on numerous friendly systems to hide its fleet, the Imperial Navy relentlessly hunts down rebel ships with the help of its large network of spies. Just as the Rebel Alliance re-activated an old outpost and hospital in the system of Candor to gather its scattered fleet before vanishing in the Outer Rim, the Empire decided to deploy the Star Destroyer "Coruscant" and its battle group. I will use Star Wars armada ships and shooting rules (dice, …) and THW for most of the reaction mechanics. The campaign and between-turn activity will use home rule described earlier wargamesinhk.blogspot.hk/2016/04/star-wars-campaign-at-edge-of-empire.html. I plan to use the Military (Empire) and Free Company (Rebel) Reaction Checks.
Rebels and Empire morale will be checked every turn. The effects will mostly affect their REP checks during battle. Low morale will make fleet breaking out faster. Morale check will not affect fleet reinforcement. link |

First turn done. Playing solo, I did some adaptation to the rules (boosting a little the fighters, because I am an old X-wing-the video game- fan) link |

Like reading about your campaign as it unfolds so far. How did you paint those Rebel bombers in scenario 1--like how they look and would like to do some of my own. Look forward to reading about the next turn. |

About the rebel fighters: I painted the hull with sky grey and washed with sepia. The y-wing exhaust is done by dropping black wash (non-diluted) into the rectangle and wait until it dries to do another angle. I have painted a colored stripe at different place to make the rebel fighter more unique. Next turn is tough decision. There are 2 planets at risk and only one Rebel fleet. |

I wonder if the campaign got 'pulled'? Campaign games can be a lot of fun, but they can be difficult to maintain consistantly. |
