We'll look into it for the next campaign, I'm sure we'll find some appropriate balance, but really the numbers of participants being so low was the major issue (or more specifically a lack of Rebel members turning up, on some weeks we'd have all the registered Imperial players attend, but no Rebel ones, which meant the Empire wiped the floor with them for the majority of the games which wasn't really very satisfying, and poor Twigs performing his admin duties had to play Rebel rather than his chosen faction for the majority of the campaign to boost Rebel numbers). If we had decent numbers playing then the maps would be more balanced, and the need to stack the finale in the Rebel's favour would evaporate.

With the final round the losers gain no points, so the Imperials gained nothing this week with the Rebels getting 50 points. They had two non-registered players resulting in a deduction of 1 point. So the final scores for the campaign are as follows:

Imperials - 173.5
Rebels - 177.5

Which goes to show that the current general trend in industry to hire contractors in rather than having a full roster of full-time employees is a sound one, as the Rebels who fought in this campaign were largely freelancers and mercenaries.

Anyhow congratulations to the Rebels once again.

With that pesky battle station scuppering the Empire yet again. The Emperor would like to get in contact with the Death Star's lead designers, and the chief contractors who worked on the construction of the Empire's pride and joy for a quiet chat.

The Rebels got a good victory this evening with them have the majority win with 2 maps to 1, and a sector victory. Still quite a disappointing turn out though, especially from the Rebel side. I played for the Rebels for one map, and then new and unregistered players assisted them for the later rounds. With Yavin the only map to be played for next week's finale you're definitely going to want to field your best players to make the most of this opportunity to grasp victory from the jaws of defeat.

But also some technical issues, some players couldn't log on to the server, and I had some issues of my own (I had a bizarre crash which wiped out all my game settings after the first round). We have had to postpone the event. So now Round: 5 will instead be held next weekend. So this will feature the same maps as highlighted in last week's Campaign Results Update. So that will be the maps Endor Strike Team & Clearing, plus the space map Strike at Parmel, so don't miss it guys. Should be good, if we can get the numbers together.

Enjoy.

So we'll see you there on Sunday.
