Rebel transport on the table

A friend of mine put it this way: "Just think of the opening scene of the movie where the Tantive IV gets pulled into the 'loading bay' of the Star Destroyer. Then think of how big that would have to be on the table. It's not really an option."

First the complaints about the ships in Attack Wing not being the proper scale and now this?! The Wings of War blimps weren't to scale either! Where's the quality control here? Clearly this entire game system is broken if not completely in shambles.

If the capital ships are to scale with each other, then a star destroyer would be hella big compared to the rebel transports, with a price tag to match. I do have the Lego star destroyer (the two foot long one), I think it might be to scale actually.

Someone on BGG figured it out. Using the scale of the Rebel Transport and the Tantive IV, a Star Destroyer would actually be somewhere around 17 feet.

IIRC, they're something like 1.6 km long (1 mile?). Tiny things compared to the ships of the line in the 40K universe.

We had 6 people so we did a team game of 300 points per side. No faction restrictions.


For some reason the player with the B-Wings decided to turn right into the Transport. The following turn the transport banked right over them, wiping them all out.

Great pictures, you've sold me on buying a transport.

How long was that game?

Approximately 4 hours when the non-transport team capitulated. It was pretty thinned out by then, but the transport was basicalky untouched. They mostly ignored it.

What is that red LED/laser thing that guy is holding? What's it used for?

It's a laser line. It is used for checking firing arcs. I personally find it easier to just use one of the straight edges of the templates.

...and for blasting rebel scum. Diplomatic mission my ass.



I don't know how many people can play this game but it would be fun if we could get all the FATtie limeys playing Imperial forces and the rest of us good guys playing the rebels, that would be a blast. The trash talk would be epic.
