Strategy Tips

If it helps you to solve the puzzle, you can set up the figures on the Ossus Jedi Temple Map (from DCI league kits) 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.

Darth Revan's squad is likely to win initiative. How would you take advantage of this situation? How would you get through Emperor Fel’s bodyguards? Should you defer initiative? What specific characters or abilities do you think will be the most important for a side?

Gambit rules are used in this puzzle. The center point of the map is the lower right corner of E2. 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).
