El Imperio esta acechando constantemente a la rebelión, le esta poniendo cerco, pero tanto expandir sus redes hace que se debiliten donde menos se lo esperan, nuestra misión hoy es de vital importancia, estamos aquí para acabar con un puerto espacial, esta es una de las fabricas de destructores imperiales, la misión en nuestro caso es de proteger y destruir.
The Empire is constantly threatening the Rebels, hemming them in, but at the cost of spreading themselves thin. Today's mission is of vital importance, the destruction of a space station, one of the Imperial destroyer factories.

Se ha realizado un desembarco con unos trasportes que estaban en reparación, los equipos en tierra se encargan de destruir el puerto espacial.
Three transports have landed ground teams who have the goal of destroying the space station.

Nosotros los rebeldes tenemos una misión triple:
- Lo primero es defender a los trasportes con las tropas una vez que han colocado las bombas y han cargado los trasportes con materiales importantes para la rebelión.
- Firstly to defend the transports carrying the attack troops after they have placed the demolition charges and loaded them with material crucial to the rebellion.
- Toda el sector esta protegido por un solo destructor imperial, pero éste esta casi en la linea de retirada de nuestros trasportes, aunque por suerte todos los mandos de destructor están visitando las defensas del Puerto Espacial, así que en cuanto se de la alarma, tenemos que interceptar el trasporte y su escuadrón de defensa antes de que lleguen al paraguas del destructor imperial, para ello tendremos dos escuadrones preparados para interceptarlos, al mando de Luke Skywalker.
- The whole sector is protected by just one Imperial destroyer, although it is almost on the line of retreat of the Rebel transports. Luckily, the commanding officers are visiting the space station. Once the alarm is raised, we must intercept the shuttle carrying them back before they reach the umbrella of the destroyer's defences. Luke Skywalker commands the two squadrons charged with this objective.
- La tercera parte de la misión estará respaldada de dos corbeta corellianas. Consistirá en entretener y si es posible destruir el destructor imperial. con 6 alas de cazas y bombarderos, que atacaran a través del campo de asteroides.
- The third objective is occupying and, if possible, eliminating the Imperial destroyer. Six wings of fighters and bombers will attack through the asteroid field, backed up by two Corellian corvettes .
¿Alguna pregunta? ¿no?, pues todos a sus puesto y que la fuerza os acompañe.
Any questions? No? Well, everyone to their posts and may the Force be with you...

Resumen de la misión.
Summary of the mission:
Turno 1
El movimiento del primer turno fue sencillo, avance de la lanzadera y su escolta a aproximarse al Destructor imperial, las primeras 4 naves despegan desde el Destructor imperial.
Por parte de los rebeldes empieza la persecución. Y centraron fuego sobre la lanzadera.
Turn 1
The first move was straightforward, the shuttle carrying the officers back to the destroyer moved away from the space station with its escort. The Rebels began their pursuit, concentrating their fire on the shuttle, while four ships left the Imperial destroyer.

Turno 2
Los dos trasportes y sus escoltas inician su travesía con la intención de salir por el otro lado de la mesa.
El imperio sigue desplegando mas naves, pero estas estan aun no estan llegando al combate, van cada una haciendo la guerra por su cuenta, notándose claramente la desmoralización que ha supuesto el no tener los mandos.
los movimientos de imperiales y rebeldes continúan en la misma linea, consiguiendo los rebeldes destruir la Lanzadera con todos sus tripulantes, Esto deja seriamente mermado el Destructor imperial, pues a partir de ahora no se podrá mover.
Turn 2
The Rebel transports began to cross the board with their escorts while the Empire continued to deploy more ships. Lacking direction without their command, they were visibly demoralised, lacking clear direction.
The Rebels managed to destroy the shuttle and all aboard, immobilizing the destroyer for the rest of the battle.

Turno 3
En este turno, las corbetas y varias de sus alas de apoyo comienza a avanzar, destruyendo los asteroides mas pequeños a su paso.
la escolta de los trasportes, refuerzos del imperio entran ya en combate, combatiendo en un flanco entero, Se intensifica mucho el fuego, quedando muy tocado las naves imperiales pero sin ninguna baja por ningún lado.
Turn 3
This turn the corvettes and several support wings managed to advance through the asteroids by destroying those in their path.
The escort of the transports engaged the Imperial ships along the whole flank, with an intense exchange of fire which left the latter damaged, but without casualties on either side for the moment.

Turno 5
En este turno se nota ya que las mejores fuerzas del imperio se habían dejado para el final golpeando fuerte y duro, en un combate épico, Darth Vader acaba de destruir a Luke Skywalker. (que llevaba salvando la situación para los rebeldes desde el turno 2)
y con el se derrumba la defensa de los cazas.
Caen junto a el, un Ala-E y un Z95. Ademas el Halcón Milenario en una acción suicida se acerco demasiado a Destructor imperial que en una sola ronda de disparo acabó con el.
Por su parte el imperio perdió un caza TIE mas.
Por lo que la defensa de los trasporte se vio seriamente dañada.
Turn 5
The strongest and best of the Empire's forces entered the fray, hitting the Rebels hard. In an epic struggle, Darth Vader destroyed his son, Luke Skywalker, who had been a mainstay of the attack force since the second turn. With him the fighter screen collapsed, an E-Wing and a Z95 falling to Imperial fire. In a suicide action, the Millenium Falcon was vaporised in just one turn, coming too close to the destroyer. All this for the loss of just one more TIE fighter.

Resumen de la partida, el ritmo de juego fue bastante bueno, a mas o menos un turno por hora haciendo una media, y fluido, hicimos escuadrones pequeños para que varios jugadores pudieran ir por cada bando y eso se noto mucho en la sincronización de las unidades, pues hubo constantes colisiones de unas con otras. Mas en el imperio, por salir de una zona mas reducida, ... se puede decir que todos los pilotos luchaban por poder vengar a sus lideres.
La partida tubo varios giros, el primero fue muy duro para el imperio, pero en el siguiente giro se puso muy complicado para los rebeldes.
El que las distancias fuesen grandes, le da un toque especial y aprecias ciertas naves que de otra forma se aprecian menos, pues la posibilidad de estar apoyando en un lado u otro es un plus extra.
El numero de turnos fue escaso, y creo que todos nos fuimos con ganas de jugar mas, pero fue una primera toma de contacto, que estuvo muy bien. pero seguro que la siguiente jugaremos mas turnos. Precisamente por eso, las corbetas no pudieron participar activamente y el Destructor casi igual.
Estoy deseando jugar otra en el club, y poder continuarla al día siguiente. pues quien tiene algo mejor que hacer que controlar el imperio un viernes por la noche?
Un saludo.

Summing up, the rhythm of the game was quite high at around an hour per turn on average. To make things flow, each player controlled a small squadron, so allowing various players on each side. This was reflected in their movements and collisions however, especially on the Imperial side since they were deploying from a smaller area.
There were various twists during the game, first of all against the Empire, which suffered greatly in the initial stages, but later at the cost of the Rebels once the tables turned with the arrival of Darth Vader and the cream of the Imperial fleet.
The distances involved gave it a special feel, different to most games of X-Wing, allowing those units with greater range to really come into their own. Their flexibility to support one part of the battlefield or another was particularly useful.
Although only a few turns were played and I think we all left wanting to continue, but for a first mass space battle using X-Wing it was very satisfactory. I am sure we will play for longer the next time we do something similar, since neither the corvettes nor the destroyer had a chance to really influence the game, the former achieving nothing at all.
I'm dying to play another battle like this and continue the following day this time. What better than to command the Imperial fleet on a Friday night?
Cheers everyone,
Jaime Brage.
