Father versus son

 

Recently  I've started playing Jedi:Survivor, the latest videogame release based in the Star Wars universe, and I decided to bring out my legion stuff for a battle between rebels and imperials set some time after The Empire Strikes Back

In the first turn the imperials advanced in the centre and left flank, concentrating fire on the rebel AT-RT

And blowing it up in the second turn

Vader meanwhile had been advancing steadily behind some ruins, springing an ambush on a rebel squad that was killed to a man

While John Williams music played on the background the rebels launched an offensive push by the right, decimating a squad of stormtroopers

And taking down the scout bikes with Bo-Katan and her mandos

Who fell subsequently to the sith lord's blade

In a desperate attempt to turn the tide of the battle Luke charged his father, both heroes trading blows during the rest of the game

But it was all over for the Rebellion when the imperials came out of cover and wiped out the last pockets of resistance with overwhelming firepower

Standing tall the AT-ST was the imperial MVP of the game, slaughtering rebles left and right thanks to its formidable armament and crew/comms cards

The last rebel standing was Luke, left with one wound remaining on the last turn

Fight for the Progate temple

 

The final battle! With the separatists reduced to small pockets of resistance in the desert planet, Dooku and his apprentice make a last stand in the most sacred place of the geonosians: the temple of their queen Karina the Great

The scenario we rolled was linebreaker, so both sides rushed into the middle of the board to make a jump into the opposition's deployment zone

The left flank of the Republic is held by clones and an AT-RT, who wipe out a squad of B1s in two turns

Kenobi leds by example too, and his lightsaber slices into the AAT

The jedi is then set upon by Ventress, but manages to dodge all but one of her attacks

Anakin joins the fray in support of his beleguarded master

Next turn the jedi master attacks again the massive tank

That is finished by a rocket from a BARC bike

With the CIS on the back foot, Dooku meets the jedi in honorable combat, but the astute Kenobi uses his command cards to amass a wealth of doge tokens to evade his attacks

Ventress is no so lucky, and Anakin kills her without breaking sweat

One by one all the droid infantry is blasted apart

And when the game ends in turn four, the clones have invaded the enemy camp winning 3-0

The droid factory

 

Battle for the heart of Geonosis! After their successful landings on the red planet, the forces of the Republic are again on the offensive, assaulting the many factories that produce the numberless droid hordes of the separatist alliance

First into the fray are the ARC troopers, who open fire on Grievous before jumping back into cover

The AT-RT joins the blast fest taking some wounds off Dooku, who has advanced recklessly ahead of his droid cohorts

Kenobi dodges and then jumps into the midst of the seppie lines

Engaging Ventress in a duel that quickly goes wrong for the jedi

Meanwhile most of the clone have been targeting Dooku, who is one wound away from dying

Meanwhile on the right, Anakin goes up against a battered Grievous

All alone Kenobi falls to Tyranus' apprentice

But the sith lord falls in turn to ARC fire

And Anakin cuts the evil cyborg in half

This seals the game, with the clankers bereft of leadership and their units badly wounded

The Republic claims victory two objectives to none

Landing at Point Rain

 

After beating the separatists in space the clones invade Geonosis, coming under a heavy barrage that forces them to make an emergency landing. It is one of these groups, led by Obi Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, that faces the massed ranks of the droid army in desperate battle

The jedi seize the initiative

And send the BARC speeder forwards to open fire on the AAT and Ventress

While on the left the clones concentrate fire on count Dooku

Kenobi races to meet the renegade jedi master

And both start a tense duel in the middle of the battlefield

Battle progresses, and more droids show up on the Republic rear

The GAR is not without reinforcements of their own, ARC troopers flying into the fray and totaling a B1 battledroid squad

Only to be wiped out by Ventress on the next activation

Just Echo left to keep on with the fight

Another wave of clankers comes into view

Engaging in a lively firefight with clones in cover

Battle rages over the desert with losses in both sides

But in the end is the Republic who claims victory at the end of turn 4, two objectives to one
