Hutts and Rebels Get Medival on the Empire

Peetza da Hutt, aka Ric LaBan, after a solid run of victories, graciously stepped into the shoes of the Emperor for a shots at galactic domination the hard way. Darth Horak put down his black helmet and picked up the slimy flatulence of Karl the Hutt. Kent as Major Ursa steadfastly held on to his loyalty to the ill-fated Rebel Alliance.

Game 1. As is usually the case, Rebels and Storm Troopers blasted each other right out of the starting box. This gave the Hutts a chance at running up to 8 supply planets, even though the Death Star held Gamorr tightly in its grip. A chance faction card gave away the Emperor's location on the second round.

The Evil Empire knocked the Hutts back and gradually eroded the Rebel forces, eventually backing Major Ursa into a despondent corner. In an effort to permanently cripple the Hutts, Darth LaBan destroyed Rodia with the Death Star. Immediately Major Ursa drove in with a pitiful group of Rebels, destroying the Emperor's starbase and him with it. Score one for the Rebs.

Game 2. The Hutts came out strong both in initial positioning and in the fact that the Death Star was in the El'Rood Sector. While the Rebels and Storm Troopers went at it hammer and tong, the Hutts steadily increased their slimy presence. Within four rounds it was possible for them to cash in a fortune in faction cards for an enormous mercenary army that swept away all opposition. Score one for the Hutts.
