So the way I am interpreting it: the only way to do 400pts x 2 teams in an hour is to use Larger cost pieces?
As I'm seeing it now: Imps =ATAT(200) Vader IC (250) Blizzard 1 (304) ATST (348) Probe Droid (356) Storm x8.
13 Acts (give or take the ATAT with Staggered Activation)
So both Imperial players use that? Not too bad. I had originally read it as two Imp teams of 400 each.
So now's you're looking for an equatable for the Rebels?, which is tough given the lack of any 200 point pieces.
Personally I always thought Hoth Battles should have the Imps coming in at more points anyway, as the Rebels were completely outclassed.
Right off the bat, keeping the activations relatively close I see: Luke's SS, SS x5, Golan x4 and Atgar x4. The immediate problem I see with that is the Splash from the Golans essentially negates the Stormtrooper's boosted Defense
I had that same idea at first too Brad, but felt that while it is thematically good, it ignores the need for Hoth troopers completely, granted they were almost useless anyway, but for effect. I hadn't considered the splash issue either.
And yes it's two teams that share the point total.
I was thinking of either going 1 Tank team and 1 infantry team, for the empire, this way one player runs just the troops and the other runs the mechs. Another thought was just to split them down the middle and allow each player to share the AT-AT activations
I was thinking along the same lines for the rebels as well. Oh I also like the idea of the rebels having a smaller point total, but what, 300? Or 250? I'd lean toward 300 just for the sake of not outright humiliation.
