Star Wars Legion: Breakthrough

Another Sunday and another chance to pit my rebels against Victoria's Imperials. This time we upped the forces a bit and were playing with 700 points.

The Imperials had Orson Krennick and an Imperial Officer, three identical units of Stormtroopers backed up by a team of Scouts, a section of Z-74 Speeder Bikes and the ever present Boba Fett.

My Rebels were Leia Organa and a Rebel Officer, four units of Rebel Troopers, a team of Rebel Commandos and a pair of AT-RT walkers.

The terrain was laid out and we drew a very basic battle plan. Breakthrough mission with Battle Lines deployment in Clear conditions.

Rebels occupy the rocky ground

My cunning plan of AT-RT with Flame-thrower and Comms jammer worked right up until I started rolling dice!

Rebels sneak up the left flank

Newly painted scouts, why are my newly painted figures so ineffective and Victoria's so good?

Orson Krennik confers with Boba Fett. One of my highlights was taking the Mandalorian down.

Imperial troopers use cover to sneak up their left flank

Bloody speeder bikes are everywhere and constantly denying me cover

"Go on sir, we'll cover you, you'll be ok"

"I'm sure there were more of us when we started"

The Rebel right flank is looking very thin. The R5 was destroyed before it could fix the AT-RT

At the end of the game, the Imperials had three units in my deployment zone to only one of mine in theirs, another solid victory to Victoria.
