Endor — The Shield Bunker Assault

THREE-ACT ENCOUNTER (GM-only). ACT 1 — THE FOREST: the Rebel strike team enters from the west (green markers) and crosses the clearing to breach the bunker's blast door, using the redwoods, boulders, fallen logs, and Imperial cargo as cover while the defenders fire from the installation (red markers). Ewok allies (blue markers) emerge from the tree lines to harry the Imperial flanks a round or two in, at the GM's call. Difficult terrain (ferns) and the creek slow movement; jungle cells are 3/4 cover. Defenders: ~6-8 scout troopers + stormtroopers, with an optional AT-ST heavy from the east treeline. ACT 2 — THE BUNKER: fight through the interior — a central corridor with the trooper barracks and power room to the north, the armory and mess/quarters to the south — to the sealed blast door of the control room. Cover is the bunks, crates, and consoles; expect the garrison to fall back room to room. ACT 3 — THE CONTROL ROOM: the console platform (with the SHIELD CONTROL console) overlooks the reactor. A single narrow catwalk (rows 6-7) crosses the open reactor shaft — a fall into the pit is a long way down — between the banks of conical reactor units to the main reactor in the east. Set charges at the reactor (and/or slice the SHIELD CONTROL console) to drop the shield; reinforcements arrive each round the charges aren't set. Suggested for a party of ~4-5 at level 5-7. Enemy counts are GM notes; the coloured start markers only show WHERE each side begins.
