This battle ended up way out of balance. I think the guards started with too many people (not even counting the two freighter pilots I "added" after turn one) and ended with too many people after the commander's reinforcements rolled in. Falk also went right after the pirates instead of the rogues, which I didn't expect. It clearly worked for Falk, but I had expected different results from the pirates.

The Heroic Team mechanic is really great and I highly recommend it for a battle like this. It helps drive thematic action, and you get some fun teamwork feats out of it. I am adding one more rule to the Heroic Team after this battle - not out of necessity but for fun. See the Heroic Team rules here: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=17185
As always, your feedback is welcome! Was this a cool battle format? How are the pictures?
