ROGUE SQUADRON WARBOOK

[SWSF Hale]

In progress.

Key points:

1. The time period will begin approximately one day after the Battle of Hoth.

2. There will be zero reference/regard for "the new canon." This will be an exclusive Legends/EU-based sim. This is NOT an adaptation of the Rogue Squadron novels, although they might inspire missions.

3. Players will have the option of working together or solo.

4. Players will start the game with either an X-Wing or a Y-Wing, and will have the option of upgrading these ships or acquiring new ones to incorporate in their "garage."

5. The mobile base of operations is the Nebulon-B Escort Frigate INVICTUS.

2. Example combat interaction. Formal rules write-up is pending, but the gist is that it will be a two-post system. In the first post, players declare actions and roll dice, and in the second post, players apply those dice rolls. Enemy units will have static values.

SITUATION: 1 X-Wing (Red 1) vs 4 TIE Fighters (Black 1, 2, 3, and 4)


ACTIONS:
POST 1
1. Performance Dice + Weapon Dice + Bonuses = Attack Rating  
2. Fires 2 Lasers at Black 1.

Rolled 8d6+2 : 6, 5, 3, 5, 6, 4, 3, 2 + 2, total 36

3. Fires 2 Lasers at Black 2.

Rolled 8d6+2 : 2, 1, 1, 6, 6, 1, 3, 5 + 2, total 27

4. Fires 1 Torpedoes at Black 3.

Rolled 7d6+1 : 6, 2, 2, 6, 5, 3, 2 + 1, total 27

5. Fires 1 Torpedo at Black 4.

Rolled 7d6+1 : 2, 4, 2, 3, 2, 6, 3 + 1, total 23

6. If Attack Rating > Defense Rating, then 1 HIT is scored for each weapon. If Attack Rating is < Defense Rating, then the defender gets to attack you in the 2nd post. Apply damage accordingly.
7. TIE Fighter DR = 21. (Enemy Chart is in the works.)


POST 2
1. If a HIT was scored, then apply damage.
2. If a MISS, then defender hits you back.
3. TIE Fighter counter-attack damage = 1 Point.
