[i]2018/09/17 - 9 plays at 3-4p[/i] The game has great minis and components in general. I played the base campaign, and became gradually disillusioned with the game, because of an increasing imbalance between the Empire and the Rebellion. The four last plays were smashing defeats for the Rebellion, which was boring for everyone. In the end we did not even play the final scenario, even though it was the only one remaining to finish the campaign. Another problem was rules fiddlyness. Even after 9 plays we were still checking edge cases, slowing down the pace of the game. It seems the skirmish mode is really good, and there also a cooperative mode available with an app, but I did not try any of those play modes.

Tremendous, deeply thematic game - it feels lovingly crafted. I enjoyed painting the wonderful pieces. The story elements come through well and the game-system is pretty simple.
