"Waaaa yaa hh..."
"Don't worry Chewie we'll get him back, he just wanted to go and see Leia, wasn't his fault those bounty hunters were waiting."
Skywalker looked out of his cockpit at Red Two cruising below him, the blue splash of colour from the Falcon's drives shimmering above him.
"Red One,Red One we have visitors straight ahead.."
Luke shifted his gaze and saw the shapes, in the distance. A puzzled frown crept onto his forehead, the ships ahead of him were unmistakable, three Y-Wings.

"r2 show me today 's flight roster, I can't remember any flights out today. "
Skimming the list bought up on his helmet visor his doubts were confirmed. Like an emphatic emblem to this doubt the lead Y-Wing opened up on the Falcon.

Without hesitation the two X's peeled off as Chewie fired back. Twisting and turning around the thickening asteroid belt all six ships exchanged hits. A ball of molten bits exploded as Red Two took out the lead Y with a hail of blaster fire
But the ion cannon turrets began to take their toll as the rebel ships lost control, not an ideal thing in an asteroid belt.
Luke's X-Wing headed out of control into an asteroid ripping off the wings. Luke ejected as his ship spiralled away.
Without mercy the Empire pilots in the captured Ys piled ion cannon hits into both Rebel ships, the asteroids taking a grievous toll
Chewie wrestled with the controls but the Falcon headed with a creeping fatalism into the asteroid. Meanwhile Red Two finally succumbed to blaster fire... The two Imperial pilots turned back towards the destroyer they called home... Lord Vader would be pleased.
The game with Dan was an eye opener, I'd never faced ion cannons before. With a small squadron they were pretty devastating. Did figure out that we were playing collisions wrongly and the ion cannons used at the wrong range. It may well have made a huge difference but still. Another great enjoyable game.
Had 3 other games, one against Paul where his well tested proton laden X-Wings proved just too much in the end.
The game is awesome and I'm looking forward to actually taking part in the National Regional comp in May.
Also managed to pick up my first 'living card game' the Star Wars card game which I'm looking forward to playing.
