Splitting a Double Hitter

Game #1.  Darth Wood, Peetza da Hutt, and Squadron Leader Horak took to the inky black void of space to battle for galactic domination.  As it turned out, first star base out was the Emperor.  Then, with a faction card from the first turn, the Rebels got to look under any star base.  Voila!  The Emperor had no clothes. 

This quickly devolved into a slug-fest between Empire and Rebels.  The stormtroopers had the upper hand but delayed getting the Death Star over to garrison the E-vile Emperor.  None-the-less, they managed to fend off a forelorn hope attack and a second blitz with +6 bonuses. 

All that was going on while the Hutts quietly built strength, spread their net, and... what a surprise... grabbed their ten resource planets. 

Victory Hutts.


Game #2.  The Empire came out strong and despite Hutt and Rebel assaults, by turn 3 they were looking to win.  The Hutts were crippled and the Rebels were being backed into small, isolated pockets. 

Then, in a twinkle, things turned around.  That blasted faction card turned up and the Emperor was revealed.  Then a straight was turned in and a mountain of Rebels appeared only two systems away.  With a huge, albeit temporary surge in numbers, the Rebels swarmed over the Emperor's star base and won the day. 

Victory Rebels.
