Finally finished the Return to Hoth Campaing!

After leaving the game set-up on my gaming table for over 2 months, I finally finished it... I got injured and could not play at all since I was mostly on bed rest.

Return to Hoth is now my favorite campaing, it was much harder than Base Campaing and Twin Shadows, but it made me sweat but was much more rewarding, I Played Diala, Mak and Verena.

Mak and Diala were fun to play (I had played Diala through Base Campaing so I picked her for a reason) but Verona was the most expensive and the most ineffective, I kept trying to make her better but she could not compete with the other Two, Mak was specially effective, his strain management was perfect for the way I like to play!

Trully enjoyable campaing!

I have been dealing with foot injuries for the past 8 weeks, one of the games I been managing to play often has been the Kinfire Delve games, I have been loving it, and I have been mixing and matching Heroes and Bosses as much as possible!

Wether losing or winning the ridiculousness of this game keeps my group trully entertained, I need to table it more often!

​

This timen around It was the first time playing with five players, I usually play with 2-3 and the game was considerably easier - anyone else figured the same?

Used Tactical Movement to move into position then declared an attack on the Elite Royal Guard closest to Fenn, used a device token and a surge power token that he still had from his supply pack because I wanted to be sure to be able to at least get the Blast 1 from Unde-Barrel.

Attack

- 5 damage on dice + 2 from Trench Fighter

- 1 surge on dice + 2 surges from Power Token and Device Token

Defence

- 1 block on dice

- 1 block from adjacent Royal Guard

- 1 innate evade

Resolving surges

- 1 surge for +2 damage from E-110

- 1 surge for Blast 1 from Under-Barrel

Total 9 damage, Blast 2 and Blast 1

Final total dmg = 7dmg to Royal guard and 3 dmg to all adjacent

Both Jet Troppers dead!

I do love combos like this!

Short and sweet, I never played any of the scenarios from this expansion before so it was all new!

In a previous post I mentioned that I had to play at least one character from the expansion so I chose Saska, and then went with Fenn and Gideon. I had see a lot of hate towards Saska online but let me tell you, she was able to make quick work of terminals and doors with her re-rolls as well as of foes with a disruptor pistol (spread barrel) she two-shot Bobba in the last mission! but Fenn was the real MVP with Blast 2 Havoc Shot as well as Under barrel HH4... he would often clear a whole group with two attacks! Playing Gideon took a bit to get used to but having Fenn be able to get 6 shots in a round sometimes was silly fun!

Thematically this campaing was much better than the core campaing I would give the core campaing a 8/10 but this one gets 9/10 in terms of theme - Canyon run was thrilling, climbing up while getting pelted by Tuscan raiders? Come on! Amazing!

Next Return To Hoth!

Started the campaign, later than expected but that is life! Told my self that as I go through the campaigns, I will add the new heroes to the pool and then I have to play at least one new hero from the current campaign I am doing.

For Twin Shadows I am going wirh Saska, Fenn and Gideon. Not a great mix, but I will make do, win or lose...

Hunted Down felt like a decently balanced mission made harder due to optional deployments by Imperial Commander 2 app and my choice of heroes! Boba Fett was amazingly thematic, Han Solo was defeated and everything came down to Gideon making it to the console with the lockdown codes - it really got messy at the end (see picture: D)
