Galactic Heroes: The Jedi Hunters

In the aftermath of Order 66, Imperial Inquisitors have been dispatched to hunt down the last of the Jedis. Using a false distress beacon, the Sith have lured Jedis to some deserted Jungle Ruins.

The scenario was simple.  The Jedis had to find the source of the false signal to keep any more Jedis from being lured to their deaths, and take out any Sith.

The Imperial forces had to kill any Jedi they found.

The Jedis. Withe Ahsoka and a very much alive Mace Windu. "I ain't dead mutherf....!"

The dreaded Sith Inquisitors.

Each player had a Force Wielder along with bodyguard of 4, including a heavy weapons specialist.
Mace and escorts explore the temple ruins.
The Mon Calamari sniper proved to be the VIP of the game. Three times he tried to shoot an Inquisitor and 3 times the shot was deflected back at him. Wounded several times he kept getting back up and finally scored a hit, taking out the Seventh Sister.
First blood went to the probe droid. A very confused Jedi then went down to a blaster bolt moments later.

A quick Force Leap across the river to engage the Jedi...
...leads to a fight with Mace defending a certain Droptrooper. Mace skillfully removed the Sith's head.

The escort troops start exchanging fire.
By turn 4 the Imperials have lost all 3 Inquisistors. Time to call in the drop ships and escape.
Great 6 player game over in 90 minutes! The Jedis were victorious with some really cinematic moments. The 2nd edition of Galactic Heroes is available for preorder now at Wiley Games, and the whole game can be viewed here!

Galactic Heroes: The Great Mercenary Mash Up

 

Previously a Majordomo, Bib Fortuna now lays claim to Jabba’s vacant throne. He builds an army of mercenaries to keep hold of his grip on Covid Prime.
 
But sometimes fate steps in to rescue the wretched. A long thought dead former bounty hunter returns from the dune seas to challenge Fortuna’s claim to Jabba’s criminal empire.
 
We had an 8 player game of Fistful of Lead Galactic Heroes. Four players were part of Bib's crew while the other worked for Boba Fett. There were places around the town that protection money could be collected, but also rivals to rub out.


Just a few of the mercenaries.
The town is quiet. A little too quiet...


Somebody's pet got loose when the first Joker is used.


Boba knocking on doors and demanding tribute


Great use of a drone in the game.


"Oh crap, Precious is loose!"
Snipers make use of the high ground.

"You're in the wrong part of town, kid"





We had a great time. A Rancor got loose. Tuskens showed up to cause trouble. Boba's team (ME!) chewed threw the opposition pretty easily with only the loss of 4 mercenaries. There's a new boss in town!
