X-Wing Galactic Civil War Episode IX: Ryloth

Welcome to the ninth instalment of our X-Wing Miniatures Game Campaign. If you want to get up to speed, please have a look around this blog to find previous instalments and the campaign rules.

The Empire set their sights on the Twi'lek homeworld of Ryloth in the Outer Rim of the galaxy but once again encounter fierce resistance from the Rebel Alliance...

Ryloth
Current Renown: Empire 5, Rebels 5
Current Systems Held: Empire 4, Rebels 4

The Galaxy Map ahead of the battle
The Imperial force consists of 3 TIE Advanced Fighters and a TIE Interceptor.

TIE Advanced x 3 + TIE Interceptor
The Rebels use the same force that ran rampant over Dagobah, 2 X-Wings, a B-Wing and a Y-Wing.

X-Wing x 2
Y-Wing and B-Wing
Turn 1: The Rebels negotiate the asteroid field while the Imperials accelerate to attack speed outside the field.

End of Turn 1
Turn 2: The TIE Interceptor strips the shields of the X-Wing before being obliterated in one shot by the B-Wing's HLC!

The B-Wing's Heavy Laser Cannon tears apart the Interceptor!
A TIE Advanced fires at the X-Wing, inflicting one point of damage - before it loses its shields to the Y-Wing's Twin Laser Turret, with the under fire X-Wing finishing the TIE Advanced!

Disaster for the Empire with 2 ships destroyed in the first exchange of fire! End of Turn 2

Turn 3: An X-Wing lands on an asteroid and the precision piloting of the TIE Advanced Fighters deprives the Rebels of any firing (too close to the Y-Wing to allow it to use the TLT). The TIE Advanced strip the Y-Wing of its shields.

End of Turn 3
Turn 4: The Y-Wing takes 2 hits to its hull and the Rebels take one shield from a TIE Advanced.

End of Turn 4
Turn 5: The Y-Wing suffers more damage but one TIE Advanced is destroyed while the other only has a single hull point left!

TIE Advanced Destroyed!
End of Turn 5
Turn 6: Even though an X-Wing and the Y-Wing are on the brink of death, the Empire have been unable to destroy any of the Rebel ships. Despite having a whopping 5 evade dice, an X-Wing lands a single point of damage on the last TIE Advanced...

Zero luck for the Imperials!
 ...and it is destroyed, ending the battle!

End of Turn 6
The Empire are defeated again!


Another Rebel Victory!
Current Renown: Rebels 6, Empire 5
Current Systems Held: Rebels 5, Empire 4

The Galaxy Map at the end of Turn IX
The Rebels now have a firm grip of several Outer Rim Systems - and can make an attempt to unlock another pilot next battle! In addition, they are on the brink of another Major Faction Victory which could result in the Empire losing another world to rebellion! Can they do anything to recover? Find out in Episode X - coming soon!
