HoSS Master Set
Heroes of Star Wars Scape (HoSS) Master Set: A New Hope
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
It is with great satisfaction and excitement (and relief) that we proudly present this Master Set to you! It was a lot of work, but we have enjoyed it. We think the content is awesome, and we hope you will think so too! We have worked hard to give this set a delicious Star Wars flavor that brings the events of the movie to life, and we are really happy with how everything has turned out! Han and Chewie make an amazing team; Obi-Wan does all he can to protect Luke and can sacrifice himself to aid Luke posthumously; Leia is an indispensable inspiration for her troops; and Darth Vader can walk through just about any army single-handedly! Sneak into Detention Block AA-23 with your Rebel Heroes...can you save the Princess? Or, try to survive a battle with the ferocious Tusken Raiders on their home turf in Beggar's Canyon. All this great stuff is here!
In this set we have included 1 Rulebook (download here), 15 Army ards, 1 Glyph Card, 9 Maps and three new Force Symbols. The Force Symbols appear on the Army Card of some characters, much like the Flying symbol used on many C3G cards. The Force Symbols allow us to give a basic set of Force powers to many Force wielding characters and still have room on the Army Card to add some powers that are specific to each characer. The three Force Symbols are:
We have also created 3 Factions: Rebel Alliance, Galactic Empire and Independent. More factions will be created in future releases.
Rebel Alliance
Princess Leia Organa
Luke Skywalker
Han Solo
Chewbacca
Obi-Wan Kenobi
R2-D2
C-3PO
Rebel Troopers
Galactic Empire
Darth Vader
Stromtroopers
Death Star Troopers
Imperial Officer
Independent
Greedo
Jawas
Tusken Raiders
The Glyph included in this Master Set is:
The Glyph of Moisture Vaporator
Many thanks to the map creators who entered our HoSS Map Contest! As promised, the winners' maps are featured in this Master Set alongside several maps of our own creation. Also, several of the maps in this set include fun scenario rules which allow you to reenact some of the scenes from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. The maps are included in the manual and will also be made available for individual download.
Tantive IV
Judland Wastes
Beggar's Canyon
Moisture Farms
Mos Eisley Cantina
Detention Block AA-23
Death Star Hallways
Tractor Beam Sabotage
Yavin 4 Outpost
Each item listed above (Army Card, Glyph and Map) will have its own Holocron Thread (similar to the Classic "Book of ... Thread") where questions and strategies regarding that figure, map or glyph may be posted. A listing of the Holocrons for all released items can be found in the Archives of HoSS Thread.
As always, you can find the latest HoSS news in the HoloNet News Thread

Very cheap. The most expensive one in this realese is Vader ($3.50+) with Greedo and Kenobi close behind. The Jawas cost around $0.50 cents each! |

Not sure what happened with the Moisture Vaporator link. Here is the correct link: Glyph of Moisture Vaporator I can't update the blog post, but I did update the post in the HoloNet News thread. |

Impressive!Well met! Finally took the time to look at this. Very thematic and look at first glance to be balanced. The Troopers are appropriately useless against our heroes. And how about those Tuscan Raiders? Perfect for Independents' Day! I'm not generally one to play non-generic 'Scape, sorry C3G, and I was internally skeptical about the whole HoSS thing, but now I'm looking forward to trying this out - and creating a map/scenario for it. |
