Love this game. I was amazed how small the map seemed when I was the Rebels and how big the map seemed as the Imperials. Asymmetry at its finest.

A little Rebel strategy I discovered in my last play was the placement of mission leaders to disrupt imperial movement. The Imperials really need to cover ground to find that Base. Lay down a mission that they want to oppose in a sector with a fleet they also want to move and make them decide. If they oppose the mission they can’t move. If they don’t oppose, they give you an unopposed mission.
