Droids lining up for battle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Last Friday night we played another Combat Patrol(TM) game to test the soon-to-be-released Star Wars supplement. \u00a0This scenario involved droids versus clones. \u00a0I had recently gotten my hands on a couple of droid and clone tanks, so this gave us a chance to try — and correct — vehicle stats for the supplement. \u00a0This was our first test with a LOT of vehicles on the table.<\/p>\n

You can see that we make heavy use of the old Star Wars collectable miniatures games figures — and anything else we can get our hands on that is within scale.. \u00a0The droid AAT tanks are from Revel. \u00a0The clone tanks are a Transformers toy that is in the right scale for 25mm figures.<\/p>\n

We played one of Greg’s stock scenarios. \u00a0A ship has crashed, and both sides must recover the droid that has important information.<\/p>\n

Droids advance. Roger! Roger!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The clones rushed forward with a speeder bike scout unit, reaching the area well ahead of anyone else. \u00a0The damage important droid (the objective) \u00a0moved randomly, and unfortunately he moved away from the speeder bike unit.<\/p>\n

Send in the clones! The advance through the woods.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There was a large melee between droids and clones on the clone left flank. \u00a0The droids got the better of the fight, eliminating a squad of clones, but the clones sent more forces forward to turn the tide.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
A view from behind the droids. In the distance you can see Yoda has grabbed the droid with the important information.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The droid with the important information wandered aimlessly, moving away from the clones on the speeder bikes, but right to Yoda. \u00a0Yoda gave the droid a force push into the arms of another clone squad. \u00a0At this point, while the combat casualties were about even, the clones had the upper hand in the scenario, because they had possession of the droid.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We uncovered some items we needed to fix regarding the Star Wars vehicles. \u00a0I think that the supplement has really come along well. \u00a0Combat Patrol(TM) with Greg’s modifications gives a pretty good representation of Star Wars-era combat.<\/p>\n
