Hi all,

Played my first 300 point game on the weekend and was a lot of fun!

Just a few questions.

First is about table size. We played on a 4' x 4' and that seemed pretty good as we were only using the transport, but what about the Tantive IV? Would that require a bigger area and would that require more asteroids?? We used 8 of them on the 4' x 4'

Secondly, we ended up going through a complete damage deck for one player and then re-collecting and re-shuffling the cards off the destroyed ships. Is is possible to use 2 decks per player?

Thanks in advance!

Recommended board is 6' by 3' but players are encouraged to choose their own if they want. I fully agree to that recommendation. For that board it is recommended to use twelve asteroids. I found that to be the ideal number so that you have some maneuvering problems for the Capital ships to deal with and swarms get broken up. More might be interesting though, but perhaps just annoying. If you have a damage deck for each player you do occasionally run out of cards if your the Imperials running lots-o-dudes. We've always done similar and whenever a ship dies its damage cards are set in a discard pile next to the damage deck, when you run out of deck shuffle the discard to form a new deck. You could use two decks combined, but I don't think it necessary

The perfect answer!

Thanks you so much.
