This is the first scenario in the Tomorrow’sWar rulebook called Lost and Found. Hopefully after this battle report you can see for yourself how accurate my review was. Some people feel that this scenario is unbalanced. We will have to see what happens.

An Imperial Tie Striker was lost on routine air patrol on the forest planet of Tabletooine. The Imperial pilot escaped and is evading rebel troopers in a nearby outbuilding. Imperial Stormtroopers from a nearby garrison have been sent in to locate and rescue him and recover the Tie’s recorder device.

The miniatures are old Star Wars Micro Machine toys that are probably 10mm scale or so? The terrain is my trusty green mat, lichen, and electrician’s box that have served me well for so many games.

Mission
Imperial forces are attempting to rescue their downed pilot and retreat with them off board. A Stormtrooper team needs to come within cohesion distance of the pilot to add them to the squad and get them off board. The Rebel Scum are trying to stop the Imperials form succeeding.

The pilot adds no firepower, defense, or morale to a squad they are with. If the squad they are with is wiped out, then they move to the nearest cover.

Terrain is 1D defensive terrain. Woods and building block LOS.

The Rebel Scum are in ambush so they will fire first. In addition, they can not be targeted unless they are in optimal range and a TQ check is passed.

Nice little battle report there.

Every time I try to read Tomorrow's War my head starts to hurt for some reason, this was not the case when I read Stargrunt 2. So I am not sure what is going on there.

I think Tomorrow's War is a game where I would go into it expecting to have an unfair fight. 1 side has an advantage and it is up to the disadvantaged player to overcome this.
