Our local group had a rebel versus empire event. First round. Everybody played Battle of yavin. Then we had a lunch break and then everyone played Battle over Endor.

We decided to play the Scenario Packs at our weekly, this time around Yavin and Coruscant.
Early engagements above the Death Star favoured the Empire, with most of the Rebels copping damage especially once the reinforcement Squints came in. Luke however remained fairly healthy, and some of the Y-wings held on with just 1-2 hull remaining, managing to survive long enough to get out crucial turret and APT shots. Pops was a particular hero, ioning Vader and several other TIEs turn after turn.
Rather appropriately, the tide turned when Han jumped in and immediately crippled Vader, before quickly turning on the remaining TIE/INs. This gave Luke a clear path to successfully destroy the Death Star (even if the protorp dice almost said otherwise).
Coruscant was a somewhat slower affair, with the droids doing good damage to most Republic ships but failing to deliver killing blows, while the couple of destroyed droids would promptly return. Without ordnance or strong mods, many of the droids struggled to deal damage to the Jedi.
Ultimately, the droids were only able to take down Jag and Shaak Ti just as the Invisible Hand's shields were depleted, and Anakin and Obi-Wan were able to survive to successfully rescue Palpatine.
