I thought I would post games that my 11 year old son end up playing. The first of many I hope. (it's been years since I've played...so I'm a bit rusty)
I've taught him the basic rules, but he doesn't remember much...as it's been a while.
He kept thinking he could move 10 and attack, or add the roll to his movement, etc
So these games are more about learning the rules than actually winning/losing.

Here are two games we played last night...

Game 1 (4/29/21)
His squad
Zayne
Boba Merc
Jango BH
IG-88 BH
Dengar Killer

My squad (he picked this one for me)
Yoda
JM Kit Fisto
Saesee Tiin JM
Shaak Ti JM
Master K'Kruhk

(very themed right?!)

On tatooine map?

He chose to set up first & set up on the more open side (top side of map)
Boba/Zayne/Jango on the right
Denga/IG on the left
I setup Yoda/K'Kruhk on the right
Fisto/Tiin/Shaak on the left

Boba used Intuition to get a decent LOS on the right side
And I surprise moved both Fisto and Tiin to hopefully get close to these shooters

Round 1
He moved Zayne into the open area on the right
Boba and Jango flew down into the open area next to the bubble room in the middle
I got Shaak to open the door to the bubble room
And both Fisto & Tiin rushed into it
He used Dengar to open the door on the other side
And IG moved just inside the bubble room
I realized Yoda's CE was limited to 6 so I bee-lined him and K over to the left
(it's been a while that I haven't used Mas in Republic squads!)

Round 2 started the fireworks
I won initiative (Zayne got a black card (-4 to rolls)...as he rolled an even number for init)
Boba intuit more into the open area
I surprised with both Fisto & Tiin and got them to within 6 of IG but not adjacent to each other
IG went first and moved in to shoot at Tiin and hit for 20
I was able to surround IG with the three guys in the room and finish him off
If I remember right Yoda and K went for Boba who was sitting in the open
Jango opened up and Yoda got nailed for 30, but the second shot was Reflected and Jango took 10
Boba put another 20 on Yoda and then flew 6 away
Zayne moved in but didn't do anything
Dengar I believe shot and missed

Round 3
Boba intuit back towards Yoda and the bottom, not sure why (11 yr old mind I guess)
I think I surprised with Fisto to get next to Dengar who was still holding the door open
I don't remember who win init
Fisto rocked Dengar and I believe Tiin finished him off (Dengar missed again)
Shaak went around the bubble to base Jango
Zayne kinda just ran around and tried to Mind Trick Yoda, and it worked, until I FPRR and saved
Jango and Boba shot up Yoda and finished him off
K finished off Boba

Round 4
I was able to surround Jango but he flew away and flamethrowed the crowd of Jedi
K chased down Zayne...hit him and Zayne's block didn't save
I was able to land a hit or two on Jango

Round 5
I was able to finish off both Zayne (who didn't do anything in the game) and Jango
But Jango got off two good shots before he went on Fisto


Game 2 (4/29/21)
His squad
Lord Vader
Malak DLOTS
Zayne
Boba BH

My squad (I picked it this time)
Flobi
GM Yoda
Luminara JM
Barriss JK
R2 Astro

On bespin map?

I picked him to setup first and he picked the landing pad side (top side of map)
He kept all his guys mostly together this time
I placed mine to work up thru all the doors on the left side of the map to avoid Boba getting a random crit (cuz you all know it happens)

Round 1
Basic movements to get closer to the middle (we aren't playing for gambit tho...for now)
He rushed his guys down to the main door to the hallway

Round 2
He was able to get the hallway door open with Zayne and Vader rushed in to open the door to the left which is where my guys would end up
He used Malak to open the door on the top of that room and Boba rushed in
That's when I made my move with R2 and towed Yoda to base Boba (for Triple from Flobi) and then locked the door in Vader's face! (I explained Override before we started, but this showed him what it could do)
I believe I put 60 on Boba but that was it
Most of my guys ended up in that room this round

Round 3
He won init and used Boba to move away and then Flamethrow 3 of my guys including R2...but at least he had 10 left
I towed Yoda and defeated Boba then kept the door near Vader locked
Vader ran around to the top side of the room...along with Zayne
For some reason Malak lost his mind and ran to the far left of the map (still not sure why...as I tried to talk him out of it, but he insisted)

Round 4
Tow and repeat the pounding on Vader this time
I believe Vader toasted Luminara with Rage and three hits, the second being a crit (I didn't Force Defense with Yoda)
Vader went down after that

Round 5
Zayne, who i intentionally did not attack, ran up and missed R2, but then Karmic Mettle kicked in and the reroll hit
Since Malak decided to eject himself down the tube corridor into the left middle chamber all by himself, I now go Ataru Mastery with Yoda and decided to Throw against Zayne.
He survived that but then fell to Flobi's attack

Game conceded at that point since Malak was by his lonesome

I tried to use this one to explain CEs in more detail
He had Malak giving +4 Atk and Vader giving Adv Atk to both Boba and Zayne
Then I explained my CEs and Synergies to him (making Lumi & Barriss tough cookies!)
It wasn't much of a battle, as my team was built to work together, but he put up a fight
His only mistakes were rushing in with Boba instead of using his attacks from a distance and then running away with Malak and leaving Vader on his own (still not sure why he did that)
So I used the time to explain things along the way and give him options...allowing him to chose what to do at each step
In the end I recapped what I would have done
Yoda's Force Defense was a deciding factor in how he attacked me...as it nerfed Malak's lightning and Vader's ability to use two powers to overwhelm my guys (although i tried to explain that sometimes you have to use powers to get Yoda to use his FD and use up his FPs so that your guys can do what they want...but he wasn't getting it)
And R2 doing a tow with Yoda to get the triple is what allowed me to defeat Boba
Plus R2 locking out Vader so I could work at Boba alone (freaking 9pt character!)
He learned about Override very quickly
And I remembered I didn't have Mas...so it forced me to keep my guys within 6 of each other...that's harder then it seems!

So these games are just a start
He has a long way to go with squad building...as right now it's about the guys he knows and not so much in how they work together...but he'll get there.

I will try and take pictures next time so I can remember half of what goes on...

Sounds fun! Maybe one way you could give him a shot to win is to have him play the squad that you make, and you play his. Or just have a 20 point handicap.

I can't believe your son is 11 already!
did I age 11 years too?

my son is 32, and has 3 kids, maybe I'll teach them in few years

That's awesome that you're back in the fold. And even awesomer that your son is playing.

awesome cool
love the writing style, Jason
I want to hear the end of the story
