article: Not the Droids You're Looking For

It was funny the number of times that "droids" was misspelled as "druids."

My only concern about the scenario is this: If the Imperials start opposite the rebels, then they're both trying to get the droid to the same spot. Seems like the Imperials would be helping the rebels if they lost a figure. Maybe that's part of it. Seems weird. Like the droids should be getting to a spot other than the Imperials want them. Although they DID just head back to the Death Star in the movies.

I thought about it too, thats why Imperials get less figures.  The real objective of the rebels is to kill the Imperials though, I added the escape part just as an extra "harder" way to win.

Oh, and the druids thing was caused by word's auto correct.  It would sometime switch the spelling on me.

I like it, but I think would have doubled the number of imperial points and made the droids escape more of the crux of the scenario, making it a desperate bid for the rebels to survive.

Also Ainsty has some cool Adobo Walls scenics (where the buildings become the walls), that are just perfect for Tatooine, and that would work well with the mini's.
