A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away………………….

The Clone Wars is over.

The dark lord of the Sith, Darth Sidious, who proclaimed himself Emperor of the Galaxy, sent his apprentice Darth Vader (formerly Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker) to eliminate the separatist leaders on the volcanic planet Mustafar.

All separatist leaders have been eliminated from the Lord of the Sith.

All except one.

The Geonosian leader Gizor Delso arrived late to the meeting with his separatists allies and this saved his life, since he escaped the extermination operated by Darth Vader.

Conscious of betrayal operated by Darth Sidious (which in fact took advantage of the Separatists to take power), Gizor Delso mature a total hate toward the Galactic Empire and seeks to combat it, reactivating the forge of Mustafar and the Droid Army on the planet.

Having seen the internal camera footage (active during the extermination operated by Vader), Gizor realizes the danger represented by the dark lord of the Sith, and then creates his own personal guard grafting processors and mnemonic units of the Magna Guards (doids skilled in close combat and operatives during the war) on copies of the exoskeleton used by General Grievous and found on the planet by the Geonosian.

Convinced that his Grievous-Droids can effectively counteract the dark Lord of the Sith, Delso is preparing for war.

But the Geonosian's preparations not escape to the eyes of the Emperor, who promptly sends Lord Darth Vader, leading one of the best legions of the imperial army, with new and fearsome weapons.

Lord Darth Vader then will return to the world in which, in fact, he was born and that it could become his grave, if Gizor Delso and his new droids were to prevail ………

THE BATTLE

At the salon TURIN COMICS we played two games, one on Saturday and one on Sunday.

Both day we deployed armies of 5700 points.

In this second game both armies were deployed entirely in the plain, no force was deployed in the Base. Darth Vader held aboard the AT-AT the two Units of Clone Commandos and the two Veteran Units, along with him, to his two Crimson Guards, the two Scouts and a Clone Officer.

It has been chosen to play a 'head-on collision", with all the forces available to both sides. The battle began with the exchange of fire between the tanks and the cars equipped with heavy weapons. So it continued for the next rounds, while, slowly but surely, the two opposing factions were moving against each other, with a general advance of the all front line.

When the two lines are arriving almost in contact, Vader did disembark from the AT-AT, to the center of the enemy, before the two Units of Clone Commandos, and then, after two rounds, the two Units of Veterans, with which he has landed, together with the two Crimson Guards.

Darth Vader and the two Crimson Guards have engaged in close combat the Battle Superdroids, thus beginning to eliminate surely.

Worth noting is the heroic behavior of a Chief of a Unit of Veterans who, being the only remaining survivor of his unit, destroyed by the fire of a Droids Unit, he has passed the test of moral and he launched himself to the assault, engaging, alone, the enemy Unit, so it could not shoot in the following turns. Fighting, in the following turns, he has managed to not get killed, and so the Droids Unit is stalled until the end of the battle.
