Whew! What a game... After a good Rebel start snagging the Elrood Sector, it was a seesaw battle to the end. Darth Ric kept coming up with huge numbers of planets for reinforcements, the Hutts were gradually taking over the Mid Rim, and the Emperor was nowhere to be found. At least the Death Star on Ord Mandel was destroyed and we kept the Outer Rim out of Imperial control.
About Turn 4 a lucky faction card allowed an even luckier look at the Star Base on Tattooine. It was the Emperor. But a huge battle over the Star Base on Dagoba led to enormous casualties on both sides. Three turns of attacking towards Tattooine did little to finish the matter and left the Rebels with less than 12 systems under their control.
In fact this gave the Hutts a chance to run into the Wild Space, which was only delayed one turn by the "Clumsy as he is stupid" faction card. Kent the Hutt proceeded to roll up the Mid Rim, blast through the Wild Space, and gain 9 resource planets... twice. Hutt victory was denied in each case by incredibly lucky dice rolls and desperate last stands.
Meanwhile Darth Ric continued to beat back the Hutts time and again, continued to gain planets, and continued to draw the noose tighter around the remaining Rebels. And a new Death Star was created.
In a last ditch attempt, the Rebels launched an all out attack on Tattooine, using capital ships, bombers, masses of troops, and their +3 bonus against the Death Star. Amazingly, only 3 legions were lost before the Death Star fell. Then in a grinding battle of attrition it came down to 3 Rebels against 2 fortified Storm Troopers. Luck went to the the Rebels and an 8-turn marathon ended.
