Two-thirds of a Trifecta

After winning an unexpected Rebel victory, Darth Horak took the field as the Imperial Overlord with an eye towards an easy victory next week for a trifecta.  The Stormtroopers did passing fair by clipping the Hutt wings early on and aggressively targeting Rebel Ric's strongholds.  Dice and faction cards won the day (June 13 BTW) and put the trifecta within reach.

On the 20th Horak the Hutt took up the dice of power in an epic struggle of good against evil against spice trade.  Alas, my dastardly opponents conspired with a pre-game pact:  to assault the Hutts mercilessly and only take one system from the other each turn.  Amazingly, with all those Stormtroopers and Rebels arrayed against the Hutts, the Hutts still held on for three turns.  Unfortunately, with 20 Imperial systems on the board against 19 Rebel systems, they called for a draw, having defeated the Hutts--their sole ambition.  We have no idea how a one-on-one battle between the Rebels and the Empire would work out. 

Game:  Draw.
