  • Super Tactical Droid

    A second model I have been working on, and recent acquisition over the holidays, is the recent Super Tactical Droid. The figure was fairly simple to assemble, being just a basic droid, and I opted to paint it in more neutral colors (rather than a special pattern of the named versions). Nothing too fancy here…

  • Painting again

    It has been a while, but with recent gaps in gaming, I am making some more progress on the painting backlog. My son and I are tackling more of the Legion troops, myself with a mix of Rebel and CIS forces, and George working on his Clone army. First up is an unlikely pair of…

  • Wednesday Legion

    Another Wednesday, and a new Star Wars Legion game pitting the Republic Clones against the CIS Droids. Mission selection ended up with a “Intercept the Transmissions”, during “Clear Conditions”, and a “Roll-out” deployment. I was playing my unmodified Droids, while Thad was playing George’s standard Clone force. Terrain was decidedly “fantasy”, utilizing a fair bit…

  • Warfare Wednesday Redo

    After the one-sided battle last week, we have challenged ourselves to repeat the battle, with lessons learned. Per our house standard, the victor (myself with Separatists) have not modified the force, while the loser (Republic) has made some adjustments. With those changes, a bit more time to analyze and consider the battlefield, and (hopefully) a…

  • Legion Results – CIS victory

    As planned, we played our latest round of Star Wars Legion. Not as planned, it turned out to be an overwhelming CIS victory, with the Galactic Republic surrendering midway thru turn 2. I don’t necessarily agree with the “lost cause” nature of the fight at that point, but it was certainly heavily slanted, and highly…

  • Warfare Wednesdays

    With my local group, I have started a series of games on Wednesday, which I am titling as Warfare Wednesdays. These are intended to be exclusively wargames – Legion, Armada, X-Wing, or similar games, able to be played with a small group and not take up multiple sessions. Last week, we played a 400 pt…

  • Schedule adjustments

    With the end of the football season, and various other conflicts, it looks like our upcoming game schedule is being disrupted more than a little. This coming weekend we have a potential birthday conflict, then Halloween interferes with the other game. I am working with the players to see what options we have for rescheduling…

  • Star Wars Armada – Salvage Run

    With the recent Labor Day holiday in the US, I had the chance to revisit a favorite game with my son and play some more Armada. In truth, it was originally planned to be a game or two of X-Wing 2, but during assembly we discovered that several of the key pieces have gone missing.…
