It was an ugly match... with an ugly ending. There were two conflicting goals: Ric the Rebel needed an orange victory to gain his Trifecta Badge while Sith Kent and Karl the Hutt sought to deny him this at all costs.
The initial deployment had the Hutts at 3 resource systems, but firmly entrenched in the Wild Space and El'Rood Sectors. The Death Star held sway over the Ison Corridor. On turn 1 the Rebels had terrible rolls. The Hutts fared slightly better, gaining ground in the El'Rood Sector. But the Empire struck back with great good fortune, significantly hamstringing the Rebels.
By turn 2, the Rebels were suffering from continued poor dice rolls. The Hutts managed to capture the Ison Corridor and the Empire continued to grind down the Rebellion.
On turn 3 the Rebels neutralized the Hutt sector, only to lose the Wild Space. This sector bonus would greatly assist Horak the Hutt for several turns. Meanwhile, the Empire continued to salt the Mid Rim with starbases.
The Death Star marched forth and destroyed Dathomir with its large Rebel garrison. Neither Hutt nor Storm Trooper elected to disrupt the tenuous balance between Dagobah and Hoth--each side gained benefit. The Hutts managed to get sector bonuses from El'Rood and the Wild Space for one turn.
Rebel assaults against the starbases in the Mid Rim failed miserably. The Hutts could not gain traction beyond 6 resource planets. In the end, the Empire slowly strangled the Rebels, ending Ric's dreams of a trifecta.
In two weeks: Darth Horak will attempt a first-ever Imperial trifecta, 3 Imperial victories in a row.
