Synopsis

Inspired by the well-known conflict from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, this map is an homage to the final moments following the destruction of the shield generator, as the Rebels (out-gunned and overpowered by the Imperials) defended what they could of their crumbling ice tomb while their transports escaped.

Tactics

This map has been customized for all game-types. Structured two-team games start with the Rebels (defenders) spawning inside the base with low-power, low-tech weapons and superior defensive equipment with decided tactical advantages; 30-60 seconds after the conflict begins, higher power weapons begin spawning, and in greater number.

The Imperials (attackers) spawn at the edge of the map, and fall immediately under heavy defensive fire from the Rebels.

The Imperials have minimal defense and die often, but have far superior firepower, and 60 seconds after the conflict begins, heavy reinforcements arrive.

As far as the set pieces and environment are concerned, they are as true to the Star Wars Universe as Foundry on Snowbound will allow.

It will take brains, not just firepower, to win, and there are rewards for soldiers who explore. Good for 2v2 or more, best with 6v6. Objective games are laid out well, and team slayer is a lot of fun but lone wolves can be a nightmare. Please rate and comment.

Enjoy!
