As a note whilst I wait for Andro, Gallagher...
As has been mentioned, this is of course a game where Force powers are massively helpful. If you feel like 'tipping' the odds, a bit...
... then with so much whirling and wrestling and whapping going on in this game, this IS a scenario where you could cheat a bit and get away with it.
Just something for you to think about.
(*smacks self in forhead* I totally missed the last line about the blue droid getting the ball. Perhaps I was mind tricked? And I was wondering about a few well placed covert Force powers. On the ball of course.)
Finally grasping what had just transpired a slightly embarrased Andro starts a furious rush for the Blue theif.
(Move into our third, and tackle the blue robot with the ball.)
Ok! Sudden dashes in the Hockey game! Blue droid is in fact passing to his buddy in your third. But damn-quick Andro gets to him first for the tackle- if he shrugs off the Block from Varm... which he does! A tackle is at +5 difficulty. Andro rolls... evens! Just short! You got into a good position but you haven't mastered the stick yet. However, this does add +2 difficulty to the shot. Gallagher runs into No-Man's land but his target is already taken care of.
Before Blue droid receives the shot from his buddy, a red droid tried to blick him,. Red roll +5... good shove! The droid is knocked hopelessly out of position and the pass totally fails, leaving the ball lose in your third.

In case you are wandering what happened there- you both targetted the droid with the ball, who stayed in No-Man's Land for his pass.

Music- Binary Sunset
(which recently saw use at the end of ROTS, in fact)
On Cassillis, the sun is going down behind the Sanctuary as night falls.
"No war today, gentlemen," says Anaz, from inside the tent. He orders piquets to their watch positions, and others to their beds.
As you watch the dying rays of the sun wither away, you cannot shake your bad feeling, Roan. Much will depend on tomorrow. For a moment, the Sanctuary looks truly beautiful, framed by the gloomy sunlight. And then the light is gone.
You hope the Sanctuary endures better.
Do *I* think it will be bad? I'm not going to say!
Gallagher runs back for the ball, attempting a pull as he does so. A +6 is certainly a success in moving the ball, but there is no way he can do that subtley before Deel Gathers the ball, beating the Red droid to it.
