X-Wing - Escort Missions - Sunday, July 7, 2013

WHAT IS X-WING?
X-Wing is a miniatures game from Fantasy Flight Games set in the Star Wars universe. Based on the Wings of War game system, X-Wing pits Rebels vs. Imperials in intense space combat. These are ship-to-ship dogfights in which players control the awesome ships of the Star Wars universe-- including X-Wing, Y-Wing, Tie Fighter and Tie Fighter Advanced, A-Wing, Slave I, and even the Millennium Falcon.

SCENARIO DESCRIPTION

Escort Mission is a playable scenario for 4 players written by ComicReaders Downtown's Chad Boudreau.

BACKGROUND

In the early days of the Rebellion against the Empire, disrupting shipping in Imperial controlled regions was a key strategy for the Alliance. The Rebels would make strikes against Imperial cargo containers. A small group of Rebel starfighters would drop out of hyperspace, destroy the containers, and jump back to safety before the escorting Imperial ships could effectively engage the Rebels.

MISSION

Rebels
In this scenario, the Rebels seek to not only engage and destroy Imperial transports, but also latch onto one transport and steal military hardware vital to the struggling Rebellion in the local system. The objectives of the Rebels, therefore, are as follows:

- Scan transports to locate military hardware
- Dock a YT-1300 to the transport containing military hardware
- Steal military hardware
- Destroy all transports

Imperials
Protect the transports. Engage and destroy Rebel forces.

We'll have 6 players for Sunday's X-Wing. We'll run 2 tables of 3 players.

Table 1
Chad B
Jason M
James M

Table 2
Bricktown
Cordawg
Shane H

At each table, there will be 1 Imperial player and 2 Rebel players. We can decide who will be who when the players arrive.

I have devised the basic squad composition. Those will be revealed before the game begins. Each player group (Rebels / Imperials) will be able to round out their squads with a set point value of ship / pilot enhancements.

Thanks for coming out today, guys! I'm glad both scenarios were well received and fun was had by all. Thanks for the suggestion on how to improve the Imperial Gunboat, Bricktown. Those pesky Rebels will have a tougher go at it next time.
