La semana pasada fue el día de la Guerra de las Galaxias (May the 4th), además de tener la mala noticia que nos dejaba Peter Mayhew (nuestro querido Chewbacca original), así que, aprovechando que nuestro compañero Pau se había comprado su primera flota de Star Wars Armada, nos decidimos a jugar una partida de 400 puntos.
Last week was Star Wars Day (May the 4th) and, sadly, Peter Mayhew (aka Chewbacca) passed away. So, taking advantage of the fact that Pau just bought his first Star Wars Armada fleet, we decided to play a 400 point battle.

El Imperio desplegó su fuerza de combate que constaba de un Destructor Estelar, el Quimera, un Portanaves, un Gladiador y una Fragata ligera, así como, una buena variedad de TIE's para escoltar y apoyar a sus naves.
Imperial combat forces deployed a Star Destroyer, the Chimera, one voidcraft carrier, one Gladiator and one Light Frigate as well as several types of TIE voidcraft to escort and support his capital ships.

Los Rebeldes desplegaron a dos Cruceros MC75, una nave ligera CR90, varios escuadrones de Ala X y Ala Y y a Han y Chewie en el Halcón Milenario.
The Rebels deployed two MC75 cruisers, one CR90 light ship and several X wing and Y Wing squadrons as well as Han and Chewie with their Millenium Falcon.

SWA, es un juego muy rápido y en el segundo turno las naves ya estaban a distancias optimas para abrir fuego. Los MC75 demostraron ser unas naves de línea peligrosas, con una decente potencia de fuego y un buen aguante, mientras que el Gladiator del Imperio, como nave de ataque a corta distancia es terrorífico.
SWA is a very quick game and by the second turn the ships were at optimal firing distance. The MC75 showed themselves to be dangerous ships-of-line, with decent firepower and tough armour. It became also clear that the Imperial Gladiator was terryfing at short distances.

Tras varios turnos de intenso fuego por ambos bandos, las dos naves ligeras habían sido destruidas, las MC75 dañanas, pero aún con mucha guerra por dar, el portanaves y el Gladiador, también muy dañados, pero aun aguantando y el Quimera, con daños leves, maniobra para unirse al combate. Los Rebeldes deciden maniobrar para poder coger un poco de distancia y realizar reparaciones, pero uno de los comandantes de las MC75, calcula mal el rumbo y termina abandonando el campo de batalla.
After several turns of intense shooting by both sides, both light ships had been destroyed. Also both MC75, the voidcraft carrier and the Gladiator were severely crippled. Only he Chimera remained mostly intact and was manouvering to join the fray. The Rebels then try to disengage and do some damag control, but in one of the MC75 orders are confused and the ship jumps to hyperspace leaving the battle altogether (Or so says its captain).

Llegados a este punto, el almirante de la flota rebelde, ordena a todas las naves romper el contacto con los imperiales y dirigirse al punto de salto más cercano. Al final, ¡victoria para el Imperio!
Seeing this, the Rebel Admiralorders to fully disengage leaving the Imperial fleet victorious. A dark day for the Alliance indeed.
