First Game of Star Wars Rebellion!~

Ray and I sitting down for our first game of Star Wars Rebellion. Both of us will
be joined by an ally (Dad, Ray for imps and Myself, Robert for the Rebellion) for the four player variant.

Getting set up took the requisite amount of Fantasy Flight fiddliness, not helped
by an embarrassing amount of indecision for choosing where the Rebel Base should be.

After much deliberation, I decided on Dantooine, hoping that the nearby
Death Star would rule out the planet as a potential target.

The aforementioned Death Star floating around Mandalore. Super Scary.

As Imperial Forces subjugate Naboo, General Rieekan evacuates the
strategically unimportant Bothawui.

In an action that can only be described as 'unnecessary', the Death Star
moves and destroys the planet of Dathomir- putting the weapon within one space of Dantooine!

Panicking slightly, the Rebels start reinforcing Geonosis as if that advance was threatening their
base. This bluff and cold war lasts most of the game as we leave the Rebel Base isolated.

Guessing that the Rebel Base was Ryloth or Tatooine, the Imperials start building
a second Death Star right on the doorstep of Geonosis.

The Empire continues to build up, and we Rebels worried and fretted as
the first Death Star continued to ominously loom over the Dathomir Asteroid field.

Boba Fett attempts to capture Princess Leia and is foiled by the timely
intervention of Han Solo. Very thematic little encounter.

Boba Fett is again foiled, this time trying to conquer Utapau. Chewbacca
bested the bounty hunter, much to the Rebel's amusement.

To open another front and to pull more forces away from the Rebel Base Han Solo
led a lightning commando raid on Mustafar. Vader suffers his second defeat on that planet.

Several space battles have occurred by this point, with Rebel victories punctuated
by the compleation of the Second Death Star.

After turns of idling, the first Death Star... moves up instead of over towards
Dantooine. The Geonosis bluff is working!

Boba Fett finally finds success on what would turn out to be the last turn of the game,
pursuing a bounty and capturing the prestigious Mon Mothma.

In a move to eventually attack the weak Tatooine corridor, Grand Moff Tarkin brings
a battlegroup to crush the Rebel's on Nal Hutta. If the rebel base sat on Luke's home planet
the rebels would be in deep trouble...

But it is not to be! With the Rebel Base far away from any Imperial Force on
the other side of the Imperial curtain and a lucky string of objectives the
Rebel's have stalled long enough to achieve a victory!
