"Sorry About The Mess"

++ “Apologies for the intrusion my Lord but I have just received a coms dispatch from the Bounty Hunter, Boba Fett. Fett is currently in pursuit of a smuggler by the name of Han Solo who is indebted to the Huts.”

“While the Hut’s affairs are of little consequence to the Empire, It would seem that this Solo has unwittingly lead us to a group of rebel sympathisers running a maintenance facility on Regoius 7. I have taken the liberty of redirecting General Weiss to the Regoius sector. Weiss will apprehend these rebel’s and recover what information is available on the disposition of rebel assets.”

“As for the fate of Solo, that is a matter for the Bounty Hunter to conclude”++

As the Empire player I would be taking charge of Fett, but beyond this requirement my list was an open book. With Fett as the main event of this list, I decided to equip him with a number of upgrades that would improve his performance and durability.

To this end I gave him an Emergency Transponder as well as the Up Close And Personal and Situational Awareness training upgrades. Targeting Scopes completed the set up.

As Fett is both an operative and a mercenary, he would be unable to lead my army. My next concern then, was which commander to field. I had recently finished painting an At-St and was keen to get it onto the table; It occurred to me that by mounting a Field Commander aboard the Walker, the At-St could act as my army commander!

Using the Walker as a commander meant I wouldn’t have to invest points on another potentially expensive hero. As I wouldn’t be including any other named characters in the list, I decided to base my army on the Return of the Jedi/Endor invasion force. To this end I added Imperial Scouts in the form of a sniper team and a full scout squad with sonic charge saboteur.

I still needed to fill up the core section of my list and sticking with my theme I simply added as many stormtroopers as I could muster! Five units in all, the first of which included a T-21 and Stormtrooper Captain. I then added an RT-97C and Astromech Droid to the second unit, so that I could administer minor repairs on the Walker if needed.

The three remaining squads would all be equipped with DLT’s. Like the Radio DJ for which this weapon is named, the DLT is cheap, has decent range and is handy in an assault!
