I don't always win you know...

On the same night as the previous mission, before everyone arrived we had a couple of runs of Mission 2: Asteroid Run... Vulture squadron took part...and didn't cover themselves in glory...

+06/02/2015+INCOMING MESSAGE++

From the intercepted logs of a rebel ship -
"Whilst scouting the outer Rim, rebel ships came across a hidden

Imperial outpost. Unfortunately before they could contact the rebellion, the imperial facility's ION cannons fired a barrage disabling the communications relay and hyperdrive engine on one of the rebel ships. In desperation, the rebels have fled to a nearby asteroid field while their astromechs attempt to repair the damaged systems. Hopelessly outnumbered the disabled ship must survive  until its systems are back online, and then must flee the battlefield in order to notify Rebel high command."

Two Academy pilots were despatched to intercept, but were unable to stop the rebel X-wing escaping. Mission failed.

+++END MESSAGE++

I'm using the excuse that it was my first game in ages and thought I could be all cocky with my formation TIE flying... I dallied around the bottom of the board whilst the astromech on the x-wing fixed its engines and it scarpered...

No extra points from this one for the Vultures...
