                Imperials beaten by Rebel Trainees!

Yes you heard it right. The Imperial Intelligence Division intercepted a
message from one of its operatives  who had infiltrated the Rebellion. He
was situated at the training camp of Gorphir III, a large jungle planet in
the Beinar Sector. The transmission was cut off short but the planet was
believed to hold several training camps, stockpiles and a small starship
base. A strikeforce was mustered and led by Admiral Zaarin, commanding the
ISD's Nightwing and Longreach and they assaulted the planet with the full
compliment of ground troops each ISD carried.
Unfortunately the trainees seemed to have been forewarned and the assaults
were met with considerable resistance. The groundbase fighters led a
diversionary attack on the Star Destroyers to let the transports through,
due to the heroic attempts of a small group of ground forces the Rebels got
away fairly well unharmed.
Just another example of Imperial Incompitance....

GMScoop: Whoever suggested the training camp idea for new players-thanks a
lot it really worked! It managed to give my newbie players a good sense of
the rules and how to play. They managed to rescue some soldiers and fight
off a few TIE's and did pretty well.
A Question-My game seem very stilted-I was losing track of where things were
going, what was happening, what rules to use...Has anyone got any advice to
stop this happening?
PS My characters are= Leon Rhieader (Ex-Imp Commando), Sozat Dei'Lan (Bothan
Infiltrator) and Quelclan (Alien Bounty Hunter) (and their droid friend Glitch)

Thanks a lot
