Gungan Defense
With the release of the Knights of the Old Republic set, the Star Wars Miniatures Game continues a tradition of bringing exciting new groups of characters to life. One of the most interesting additions has been the inclusion of strong Gungan support miniatures, with Jar Jar Binks and Captain Tarpals providing unique boosts that the game has not seen before.
Squad 1
All characters are at full Hit Points unless noted otherwise.
Yoda: 80 HP, 3 FP
Mas Amedda
Jar Jar Binks (defeated)*
Captain Tarpals
Gungan Artillerist (2)
Gungan Shieldbearer
Gungan Soldier
* Jar Jar Binks has been defeated by this point in the game. He's been included here so that you can think about how the game started and what might have happened previously.
Squad 2
All characters are at full Hit Points unless noted otherwise.
Darth Vader, Scourge of the Jedi: 50 HP, 1 FP
Vader's Apprentice, Unleashed: 50 HP, 4 FP
Emperor Palpatine: 0 FP

Strategy Tips
If it helps you to solve the puzzle, you can set up the figures on the Commander's Office map from the Attack on Endor Scenario Pack. However, 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.
Yoda's squad just won initiative. Yoda is likely to be defeated this round. Before he is eliminated, what general strategy and specific tactics should he use to achieve victory down the road? Which of the two big enemies should he concentrate on damaging? What could the Imperial side do in response that might help them come out on top?
