"Star Wars" Endor Wargame

Ойындар

This week on Little Wars TV, let's make the jump to hyperspace to a galaxy far, far away! We are re-fighting the Battle of Endor from the 1983 Star Wars classic, "Return of the Jedi," using the Legion rules from Fantasy Flight Games. Can Han, Leia, and Chewie break into the Imperial bunker to disable shield generator for the Death Star before it's too late?
But before we play our Star Wars battle, Keith and Brian talk about the state of historical wargaming today, and how science fiction and fantasy games can serve as a gateway to the historical side of the hobby. If you'd like to see us fight some of the most famous battles in military history on the tabletop, be sure to subscribe to Little Wars TV!

    I agree with everything in the intro, if historical gaming is to grow it has to really embrace fantasy/scifi. Here in the PNW, at our big convention, Enfilade, we see a growing number of those games, and that are fun, draw in players, who then get involved with the other games. As far as a supplement, since I am not that familiar with the game, I would say "Capture the Star Destroyer" sort of like Space Hulk? on ship fighting to take or clear out resistance.

    The reason they ended it like that is because each side is given a finite amount of those command cards for each game, so presumably, once the cards ran out, that's when they decided the battle would end

    I've been really enjoying the content on this channel. I have to agree on the point made at the beginning that sci-fi and fantasy gaming is a great tool for bringing people into historical wargaming. My friends and I are all in our mid 20's and recently we've been really enjoying bolt action, and are looking to get into more macro scale games (like the one shown in the d-day episode). We never would have given bolt them a shot though if it wasn't for warhammer 40k getting us into the hobby in the first place.

I have played Star Wars X-Wing toyed with the idea of Star Wars Legion. I think It would be great if they dove into the Mandolorians, this would be great. Jet packs, blasters, flamers and disintegrations. A side note on rules, I found on Face Book a set of rules where the guy had taken Bolt Action and adapted it to Star Wars, looks like a lot of fun. Need AT-AT's. Well guys really enjoyed the episode. love the imperial Star Trek shirts.
