Strategy Showcase 3

Chaos on Cloud City

One of the most interesting aspects of the Star Wars Miniatures Game has been the huge variety of figures produced and the complementary nature of their game statistics. Figures that are strong against Force users with Melee Attack can be very weak against ranged shooters. Powerful commander effects can be nullified with good placement of a figure with the Disruptive special ability. "Chaos on Cloud City" focuses on engaging the enemy with mismatches and deciding where and when to gain an advantage!

Squad 1

All characters are at full Hit Points unless noted otherwise.
Shaak Ti, Jedi Master: 5 FP
Luke's Landspeeder: 100 HP, 4 FP
Han Solo, Rebel Hero: 1 FP, Light Tutor
Yoda of Dagobah: 5 FP
Rebel Trooper on Tauntaun
Rebel Troop Cart: 10 HP
Ugnaught Demolitionist (2)

This squad has scored 10 Gambit points.

Squad 2

All characters are at full Hit Points unless noted otherwise.
Kyle Katarn, Jedi Battlemaster: 100 HP, 4 FP
Shado Vao: 3 FP
Mara Jade, Jedi: 7 FP, Light Spirit
Galactic Alliance Scout
Bith Black Sun Vigo
Luke Skywalker, Force Spirit
Ugnaught Demolitionist (3)

This squad has scored 5 Gambit points.

Strategy Tips

If it helps you to solve the puzzle, you can set up the figures on the Cloud City map (from the Ultimate Missions: Rebel Storm book) as seen in the photo. The blank side of a map and replacement figures work just as well. Setting up the figures might help you to make decisions about how they should move. The stairs underneath the Rebel Trooper on Tauntaun (and other stairs not shown) are difficult terrain and have been colored with lines to match DCI rules for this map. Make sure you consider this when moving figures.

What is the priority target for each side? There are advantages and disadvantages to attacking certain targets. For example:

Mara Jedi, Jedi can do tremendous damage if she can attack an unactivated adjacent opponent with Lightsaber Assault. If Yoda of Dagobah uses Force Defense, she will get no attacks.
Kyle Katarn, Jedi Battlemaster gets the Lightsaber Duelist bonus to protect him against Luke's Landspeeder and negates Han, Rebel Hero's very useful commander effect while within 6 squares of any figure that could use it.
Shaak Ti, Jedi Master has some of the strongest defenses against figures with Melee Attack but is very vulnerable to figures without that Special Ability.

Gambit rules are used in this puzzle. The center point of the map is the upper left corner of E10. If you are unfamiliar with Gambit rules, refer to the Star Wars Miniatures DCI Floor Rules (available as a Word file or a PDF file).

Feel free to post your thoughts or questions about this puzzle in this message board thread.

Clone Wars saison 2 episode 9

"Je vois la haine de Grievous envers les Jedi comme une intense jalousie. Les Jedi ont des aptitudes que Grievous n'a jamais pu avoir," a déclaré Wood. "Même si le combat au sabre-laser lui a été enseigné par le comte Dooku, il manque à Grievous le fait d'être sensible à la Force pour carriver à omprendre la vraie nature des Jedi. Beaucoup de choses ne sont pas à la portée de Grievous, ce qui augmente sa jalousie et sa frustration."
