Star Wars – X-Wing intro game
Since we had to reschedule the start of our Shadowrun campaign, I used the opportunity to try out the second edition of Star Wars X-Wing with my son. The closest comparison we have is Armada, which although Star Wars, plays much differently. The main advantage we found is that the game runs much faster, turn…
Star Wars: Legion terrain
Spent a couple days working on terrain for Star Wars: Legion, specifically an Imperial Bunker by Upsidedown98. Print was lengthy (about 36 hours), but not unreasonable for the bulk, and my printer has become rather finely tuned now, so the quality is pretty decent. The piece is in two parts, the base plus a removable…
X-Wing 2nd Edition

The other purchase I was focused on during the recent Gencon event was obtaining a copy of the newly released Star Wars X-Wing, revised for a 2nd edition. Officially, the game is being released I believe in early September to stores, but Fantasy Flight had brought an overly healthy supply to the convention for early…
Star Wars: Armada – the fleets
During our last game, both sides experimented with some new fleet options, to mixed success. Listed here is the compositions we both used, and any notes we found. Rebel Fleet (399 points) (Fab’s Fleet Generator) MC80 Assault Cruiser – Defiance, General Dodonna, Reinforced Blast Doors, Enhanced Armament MC80 Star Cruiser – Gunnery Team Nebulon-B Support…
Star Wars: Armada – Precision Strike
During this last Sunday, we finally were able to fit in another game of Armada, between myself (Rebels) and my son (Imperials). Mission selected was Precision Strike. My plan had been to video tape the entire session, and then edit the game together later on. Unfortunately, I had some technical problems – first I had…
Squadron plates

During our Armada game this last weekend, had a chance to put to good use the Squadron plates I designed. Imperials were flying several TIE fighter squadrons and Dengar, and the Rebels had a pair of X-Wings and Rogue Squadron. The plates worked well, and kept things organized during the rather complex game. Admittedly the…
Armada Scenery

Finally sat down to finish up the 3d scenery for Armada, in preparation for playing the game. The asteroids turned out pretty decent, a bit of hot glue attaching them to the support poles worked fairly well. For the nebulas, I used a cotton ball stretched (and glued) between two support poles. The space station…
Armada Sunday

by
Planning on trying to play some more Star Wars Armada this Sunday, after a fairly lengthy dry spell. I like the game, just haven’t had the time, availability, or space for doing so. However, thanks to a recent spring purge in the house, one of our rooms is nicely clean and open again. Toss in…
