This is probably the Tusken Raiders' favorite map.

Actually, It is harder to pull off their HA on this map then you would think.

Why is that? Against a squad army using the competitive start zones it seems like it would be pretty easy to plant some Tuskens in the enemy start zone if you can get the roll before too late in the game.

The start zones are the yellow and orange dots on the map--it's meant to start out like a bar room brawl. The raised sand spaces at the two entrances to the bar simulate the fact that the Mos Eisley Cantina entrances are actually slightly below street level, but they are not start zones.

Ah, I thought there was a configuration where the sand spaces are start zones. I guess I imagined it.

Actually, there does seem to be 3 SZ (2 on the left and 1 on the right) that start next to Sand hexes. So while not the most, it could always be less.

I put this one together today. I played the Han/Greedo scenario three times, Han won all three in the first round. He used his special power to shoot first once or twice.

I set us the brawl scenario too. This time its Imperials vs Independents. The Tusken Raiders and Jawas were unruly in the Cantina and a squad of Stormtroopers were sent in to take care of it. The Stormtroopers should perform well against the squads, they haven't exactly shined fighting the Rebel heroes I've played them against so far. I'll post back a report after the game. Its TR x3, Jawas x2, Greedo (250 pts) vs Imp Officer and ST x2 (245 pts.)















I just played it through and the Imperials won with one Stormtrooper left. The STs did really well against the squads, as I expected. Greedo really shined. He managed to catch his bounty, the Imperial Officer, but not before the officer could call for backup. The extra defense dice from the bounty went a long way. He managed to drop well more than his points worth before he went down, leaving one the last Stormtrooper alone with the last Jawa. The ST jumped onto the bar and shot the jawa, ending it.

I want to use the Tusken Raiders on a map with a lot of sand. I have a few more squads coming, so maybe I can set up Beggar's Canyon and play that scenario later in the week.

I tried this one out a couple times today -- quite fun for a largely heroes/minimal squads battle!

I played Han and Greedo first -- and Greedo won!
Greedo rolled 4 skulls(!), Han whiffed his Shoot First and his defense, turn 2 was indecisive, though Greedo got the tabletop advantage, and then Greedo got a final wound on Han to win!

In the first bar room brawl:
Team 1: Han, Chewie, Luke, Obi-wan, and Otanashi.
vs.
Team 2: Cxurggyath, Mind Flayer Mastermind, Ne-gok-sa, Siiv, Elaria, and an Ogre Pulverizer.
Team 2 won with Cxurggyath (4 life) and Ne-gok-sa (3 life) surviving. An early Psychic Explosion by Cxurggyath did a good bit of damage and the Mind Flayer Mastermind brought down Obi-wan. Haven't played with Ne-gok-sa in ages -- forgot how effective he could be in a fight!

In the second bar room brawl:
Team 1: Han, Chewie, Kira Jax, Bahadur, and B-11 Resistance Corps.
vs.
Team 2: Agent Carr, Agent Skahen, Ne-gok-sa, Siiv, Nakita Agents, and Greedo.
Team 2 won with Agent Skahen (3 life) and Ne-gok-sa (2 life). The Nakitas kept up enough smoke screen to keep Skahen firing from a back table top and kept Kira from taking Skahen down (she could negate either the Smoke Screen or the Stealth Dodge but not both).

Overall not a good day for Rebel Alliance folks, but fun and different map to play on!

I think you are a bit confused and posted this on the wrong site. This is for Heroscape related content.

Thanks , dranoel

Oh and about my Stealth Stormtrooper, dont you remember ? I brought it to your house the last time I was there and left it in your living room next to the shoe rack. It should still be there.....

There seem to be a ton of bot postings on the site recently. I'm guessing this is another one of those.

It wasnt the toaster I was looking for. "Waves hand" and runs away.

Lol. I'm sorry for detracting from this thread, but this was just too perfect not to share given the circumstances:
