GM: These camel meeples are the Imperial tanks.
C-3PO: Aww. They're pastel coloured.
R2-D2: Is that flour on the battle mat?
GM: It's snow. Don't anyone sneeze.
GM: Corey?
Luke: I manoeuvre to avoid incoming fire and shoot the nearest camel. 8.
GM: Your shot <roll>...

GM: ... bounces off the heavily armoured tank.
R2-D2: Niiice. Sounds like that camel has at least seven defence dice.
Luke: Damn. I'll fly under and see if there's a weak spot under the camel's belly.
GM: It's an armoured tank. Armoured tank!
R2-D2: An AT-AT?
