Battle record - Star Wars Legion - 4/12/25

Afternoon and we're back at Otty's shed to finish off playing Star Wars Legion, Rebels V's Imperial [what else would it be?]. Otty and Ben had chosen just Liam's Imperial figures this time and Ben could be there for the game so we got to finish it off together. If you recall we were certain whoever won the right to go first would potentially destroy either the Air Speeder or the AT-ST. Well you both put down order cards and whoever puts the lowest value order down wins priority. We both went with 2 orders. So then it's a roll-off. Whoever rolls a shield on a red D6 gets to go first. I rolled and failed! But the AT-ST survived a round of shooting with 1 wound left!

The Dark Troopers are an odd unit that gets the chance to be activated twice in a turn, making them a nightmare. Throw in our order card that allows armoured units to activate an additional time these OP robots got 3 goes this turn doing a heck of damage. Moff Gideon managed to kill Luke Skywalker, even without the Dark Sabre and the AT-ST took out the Boar Wolf. 

So things looked really good for us, but again Otty and Ben started to score points on mission objectives and although we got our bomb close to the Venga bus, we then realised we had to secure it, not just context it and there were rebels occupying the base. I had a run of bad dice roles and every tactical decision I made failed because of the dice. So things looked bad for us.

Luckily Liam made some good decisions and put us in a good position to finish off next week.
