Just for fun, I decided to create a small capture-the-flag style scenario for myself. Rather than being a detailed play report, this will mostly be describing the scenario setup. Feedback will be appreciated!

I played on the map Teth Courtyard, and designed it similar to the one-flag CTF in Battlefront II.

First thing I did was find the exact center of the map. There, I placed a flag (an upside-down damage counter). In order to capture the flag, a piece would need to end its move on it.
After that, I chose two opposite corners. The four squares in the corner of the map were designated as the scoring area -- in order to win, a character with the flag would need to end its move in the opponent's scoring area.

I played this game with 150 point squads. I placed each of the squads in one of the two designated corners. They were allowed to be up to four squares away from the corner square. The corner that they were placed in was their own scoring area, so they had to take the flag to the opponent's scoring area.

I then added an unusual addition. At the end of every four rounds, each squad could add new characters (I called them reinforcements) to their squad so that it equaled 150 points. The new characters would be placed in the squad's scoring area. So, if one squad had only 42 points in characters by the end of the fourth round, they would be able to add 108 points of new characters. (Unique rules still applied.)

This made the game a bit interesting. The whole point of this was the make the game a bit more difficult, as the person with the flag would have to fight through the opponent's squad and the opponent's reinforcements. In addition, it would take their own reinforcements longer to get to the engagement. I predicted at the beginning that speed would be big, and it was. The squad that won my game had a Luke with Master Speed, which allowed them to just barely rush by the opposing forces.

In my opinion, this game is pretty balanced, if not too much so. The more one squad extends into the other's territory, the longer it takes their reinforcements to arrive and the quicker the enemy reinforcements arrive. Plus, the more characters a squad kills, the more reinforcements the other squad receives after four rounds.

I think that four rounds is the perfect number: three is too frequent, and five is not frequent enough. What I might do in future games is set a time limit. The winner will be either the squad that scores first or the squad with the most points once the time runs out.


Anyway, feedback! It would be great to have your thoughts on this kind of scenario-playstyle kind of thing, and whether or not you think it would work for other maps and/or different size squads.

Cool idea :) I guess that's easier than putting a flag on each side of the map and playing it that way.

I like it a lot! Very balanced and interesting!

One thing I'm not clear on, though. Do you flat out win if you get the flag to the opponent's scoring area? Or, do you score a point (presumably with the flag resetting to the middle immediately), with the objective being to score a certain number of times (say, 5)?

How big of aproblem are movement breakers?

"Yobuck in Your Face" would probably win pretty quickly, then. Foul carries R2. Swap Yobuck with Foul. R2 tows Yobuck. Yobuck runs for the win. That's 12+12+26 = 52 spaces worth of movement in one round.

we have ran capture the Han in carbonite on Jedi Cartographers 4 Mos Eisley maps. No character is allowed to have over speed 6. Rules are pretty simple. End your turn next to Han and "carry" him back to your side of the map.

@FlyingArrow, Foul cannot carry R2, check Master Lift again, he can only carry living allies. Any way you want to slice it though, that's a lot of movement, regardless.

Me likey, i'll try tonight with my brother and play with consortium's speed rules. Can't wait to see what Durge on Speeder will be able to do :)
