Ah, playtesting has begun at last! If you are interested in how things are progressing, and seeing how the rules work, please go to my blog at this link
I hope you find it interesting! |

Don't forget the +3 die modifier for "named characters and heroes" to be consistent with current canon. Not to mention an automatic +3 modifier for all…. er…. |

As in I Assault, heroes cannot 'Die' but are disabled. However, the stats I give heroes make them VERY hard to kill without a massive outnumber…or a Sith!
Incidentally, I have made, in parallel, an 'Imperial' edition of the rules so you can run the 'Bucket Heads' against the Rebel scum! |

Lol. Heroes can't die? What's the fun in that? Dan |

Hi CC, I have put a caveat in the rules that allows 'Heroes' to die if the scenario allows!- I do feel its only fair for players to not make Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and Chewbacca any more vulnerable than in the films. Being disabled is a good equivalent to death for games, the character can come back next game after 'Recovering'!!! |

These look very interesting! It could save me a lot of money. I have boxes of WOC figures as well as Imperial Assault figures. I could skip Star Wars: Legion, particularly as it is unlikely to be solo friendly. Jim PS Love your X-wing and WoW rules |

Thanks Jim, I am hopeful that after the coming Saturday playtest with my friends, I may be confident enough to release them to a wider audience! I think it will produce a playable game with relatively few figures, its definitely not going to be suitable for much larger than platoon sized actions. |

That sounds like the sweet spot. A few lead up games with a squad or two leading up to a climactic 40 or so a side final battle. Can't wait! Jim |
