Star Wars: Get To The Shuttle!

Had a lot going on lately, despite this, the oldest lad and I managed to play a fun game.

In this one, the Jedi attack a droid base to steal a shuttle so they can escape the droid planet.  Before they get the shuttle they have to knock out two shield generators.

The Jedi attack in force, three Jedi (Ahsoka, Cal-vin (and robot sidekick 4-5-6) plus Nadar) and 15 clones attack a horde of droids commanded by General Grievous.

Droid base, two shields (orange) and a nice shuttle

The advancing Jedi army

Plotting his strategy

And they are off

Ahsoka and her clones lead the way

Cal-vin start his force-jump

Spins in mid-air

And land in the middle of a group of droids

Clones and 4-5-6 back up Cal-vin, And...

...Splat, ex-droids

Nadar and team rush forwards

Szick, Zzat, more ex-droids

Roger Roger, droids advance to defend the shields

Grievous exits from the shuttle to find out what's going on

Ahsoka rushes into melee with droids

While the clones mop up

Dad, see this clone, he is going to 'kill' your droids.  And he did...

Nadar advances on the other shield

Droids shoot, Nadar deflects the blast and takes down a droid

Droids ambush clones and take a couple down

Despite casualties Cal-vin pushes forwards.

Cal-vin destroys more droids, but at a cost, he takes wounds

Yet more droids fall to Cal-vin's lightsaber

Droids advance on Ahsoka, she deflects their blasts

Lightsabers flashing, Ahsoka advances on the droids

She dispatches them easily

Grievous calls in more droids

Super-battle droids advance

Clones damage the shield generator (it takes 3 'hits' to destroy)

Cal-vin leads his clones forward to tackle the super-battle droids

Between Cal-vin deflecting blasts, 4-5-6's laser vision (yes, really) and the clones, two battle droids are taken out

Nadar and clones trade casualties

More droid reinforcements line up

Cal-vin battles droids

While others sneak up on his team

Cal-vin opts for bold action, he force-leaps into one-on-one combat with Grievous

The fight rages back and forth, but Cal-vin's earlier wounds tell on him and he goes down to Grievous

Ahsoka dashes forward to rescue Cal-vin

Quite effectively...

Clones and super-battle droids slug it out over the generator

Nadar's clones heavily damage the other generator

Leaving Nadar to force-leap on top to finish the job.  Off he goes

Twirling, of course

And spinning

To land on top of the generator

Nadar forces his lightsaber deep into it, destroying the shield

On the other flank clones hold back the super-battle droids

Ahsoka taunts Grievous

The clones take out the other generator.  The rush to the shuttle is now on!

Ahsoka advances on Grievous's last bodyguards

Quickly despatching the battle droids Ahsoka wounds Grievous

The super-battle droids knock 4-5-6 out of commission

Nadar and clones have a long run to the shuttle

Ahsoka's clones fall-back to extract their brother clones

Super-battle droids kill another clone

Nadar is ambushed by droids

In a desperate fight Nadar destroys the command droid, but falls to the other droids

A wounded Grievous falls-back into cover of Super-battle droids

Grievous's retreat opens the way to the shuttle

Run!

  Jedi capture the shuttle and warm up the engines (passing a force roll)

The survivors: Ahsoka, a wounded Cal-vin, an out of commission 4-5-6 and three clones.  Nadar was captured by Grievous's droids

Brrrrrrggggh, engines started for take-off

Vrooooooossssh, shuttle taking of

Vroooooooooo....

...oooooooom, shuttle flies away

A really fun game with the Lad.  Was I ever worried when Cal-vin went down, however, the Lad took it in his stride with "no worries, he'll be back in the next game".  I was both relieved and proud of him when I hear that!

After the game he was buzzing ready to play the next mission to rescue Nadar, we'll see if we can get to it soon.
