A skirmish scenario for you, written for Hell by Starlight but other rule sets should easily be able to cope with this.

Insurgents attempt to terrorist small town? Can the Imperial forces arrive in time?
Should too many questions be asked?

Cute! Rare I have an umpire available these days, though.

It's a problem. And it wouldn't work on Zoom because you want to see their faces as they desperately try to work out what's going on :-)

I did scratch my head a lot over this one (I have splinters in my fingers to prove it) and the minimum I can get it down to is three players, otherwise it loses something :-(

Nice scenario. I think it could work as a solo game, with some table or card pulls for certain events. Especially if no one knows exactly where the droids are until they get close. Victory might just be in surviving, though.

Yes it struck me that it could be fun being the Imperial player and trying NOT to learn too much.

I haven't read it. Yet. But I will when I have the chance. Intriguing

Jim Webster28 Jan 2022 11:32 p.m. PST

What is fun is when people are intrigued they often think about the game and come up with fresh takes on it :-)
The more ideas floating round the better

Love it.

I rather hoped people would. I suspect that for everybody who tries it, rather more will like the idea and fit it into something they were going to do

Which I think is great :-)
