Last Thursday I ran the latest game in the ongoing skirmish campaign for my gaming group, The Fawcett Avenue Conscripts. It was the second season finale, bringing together elements from seasons one and two, and setting the stage for next season.
In the previous game the Rebels managed to steal samples of various kinds of Imperial cloning and medical technology. With that intel, the Rebels, led by Senator Leia Organa and Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker, were raiding a hidden Imperial cloning lab.
The Imperial goal was to leave the Eastern table edge with the three suspensor-supported cryo-coffins, containing new clones.
Was this a trap set by Darth Vader? Would the product(s) of the Imperial cloning effort be available to thwart the Rebel mission?

The table represented a secret underground Imperial cloning facility on Navarro, complete with a lava river running North-South through the table.
Leia, now a Jedi Apprentice under Knight Luke, led some Rebel Troopers and advanced from the Eastern edge of the table. Luke and some Pathfinders infiltrated through a back door in the Northwest to try and intercept the clone transfer.
A suit-less Darth Vader led some Stormtroopers to the centre of the table, covering his men and holding the bridge.
The clone Luuuke (grown from the original Luke’s left hand, lost in combat with the late Emperor last year) moved to the protection of Vader’s Shield, then advanced on Luke to duel him face to face. There can only be one!
Unfortunately for Luuuke, his swordsmanship was not up to the task and he was very quickly put OOA by the real Luke. Luke proceeded to cut a swathe though the Stormtroopers remaining to the west of the lava, even managing to push one into the river.
Vader, sensing an opportunity, jumped into close combat with Leia, trying to capture her and turn her to the Dark side.
Leia, though vastly inferior in skill to the God-Like Anakin, managed (with the help of Sharp Tongued) to inflict a Wound on the Dark Lord of the Sith! This could not last, and she ended up badly wounded by her father.
However, himself wounded by massed blaster fire and running out of time, Vader cut his way to a coffin, grabbed it and exited the East table edge.
Leia’s troops managed to grab the two remaining clones and hurled them into the lava, destroying them utterly.
With hard evidence of the Imperial cloning plan, Navarro will likely be pushed over to the Rebellion.
The Mayhem Twins have won a minor but clear Rebel victory. What clone was rescued by Darth Vader? Stay tuned for next season.

Thanks to Rob, KevinH, and Dallas for sharing fellowship and beer.

Why can't those pesky rebels allow the benevolent Imperial scientists to explore the fascinating science of cloning in peace? I mean, what could go wrong?
