So . . . I was bored one day, and I thought, "What would have happened in the star wars saga if the fate of all the battles was decided by a Star Wars mini battle?" I thought back to episode 1, and the first main battle was when Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, and Jar Jar ambushed the droids transferring the Queen and her Handmaidens. I decided to use these squads:

Episode One Scene 1
Episode 1 Scene 1 (seps)
Map: Warehouse half of Christophis

Amidala, her Handmaidens, and Panaka were rescued, at the cost of Jar Jars life. Amidala, Panaka, the handmaidens, and the two jedi, along with a squad of Naboo Troopers, go to the hanger bay to rescue pilots, and get a ship to go plead her case against the senate on Courscant.

Episode 1 Scene 2 (rep)
Episode 1 Scene 2 (seps)
Map: Freight Transit Station

The Pilots were rescued, and the Queen barely got past the blockade. Unfortunately, their hyperdrive was destroyed, so they went to the nearest planet safe from the trade federation: Tatooine. Qui-Gon Ginn and Queen Amidala, along with the astromech droid, R2-D2, go to find the needed parts. They cannot find the parts anywhere but Watto's, but the Toydarian does not accept republic credits. Fortunately, a young slave named Anakin Skywalker offers to help the jedi by entering the Boonta Eve Classic. Qui-Gon finds that the boy is force sensitive, and uses Watto's weakness of betting to allow the boy to be free and give Qui-Gon the needed parts for the Hyperdrive if Anakin Won the Classic and they gave Watto the winnings. It was a close race, but Anakin won. On the way back to the ship with Anakin and the hyperdrive parts, they are ambushed by a mysterious hooded figure . . .

Episode 1 Scene 3 (Jedi)
Episode 1 Scene 3 (Maul)
Map: Custom map

The figure was a male Zabrak with a lightsaber and used the force. The sith have returned! Fortunately, Qui-Gon was able to stop the Zabrak, and, because it's not the Jedi way to kill, took the sith prisoner. When they returned to Coruscant, they placed him in prison. Later, When a guard passed by, they found that the Zabrak had been killed.
Meanwhile, When Amidala pleads her case with the senate, Senator Palpatine persuades her to call for a no confidence vote in Supreme Chancellor Valorum, Palpatine, (cont. later)

Keep going. How will pleading the case be decided. Also, the pod race?

Looking forward to seeing this play out. You skipped the 2 jedi being ambushed on the Neimoidian ship, though.

That was more of Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon sneaking through hallways so I decided that would play out like the movie.

Have you finished scene 2? It would be interesting to see who won when Maul and Qui Gon faced off on Tatooinee

Yes, but I have a very limited number of maps, so some may not make sense with the senario. Until Ep 1 Scene 3, I only had Christophis/Freight Transit Station. Now I also Have Muunlist Commerce Plaza/Christophis (intact). Some Battles I will make custom maps if I can make it in 10 min on some Grid Paper.

Just take a picture of the map you printed off and copy paste it into the forum post

You've never posted a picture, have you. You can't copy and paste to the forums. (If that could be changed, that would be great!)

Upload the picture to Facebook, Photobucket, or some other sharing site and then use the Image button to link the URL into a post.

Thanks. One thing though: I can't figure out how to save a picture in a word document to the computer so that I can post it on Facebook.

Select the image, then copy and and paste it into an image editing program like Paint, Photoshop etc.
Then you can save it as a .jpg to your hard drive.
