Totengräber's Workpläce

I found out through the Wizards of the Coast Star Wars Miniatures message board that there is a group that plays SWM every Thursday at a local Barnes & Noble. So, even though I didn’t know a soul who was going to be there, I decided to go by and check it out. When I arrived at about 7pm, there were two people there, Mike and Andrew(?) who I started talking to as they were setting up their game. They offered for me to play one of them instead, but I opted to just hang out and watch for now. Later, Mike offered to play me at 200 points once he finished that game. Here’s the list I ended up using:

• Darth Malak
• Sith Heavy Assault Droid x2
• Sith Elite Trooper
• Sith Guard
• Sith Trooper

Mike played:

• Jabba, Crime Lord
• Mas Amedda
• Jolee Bindo
• Tion Medon
• Utapauan on Dactillion x5

He won the choice to pick the map and chose the Revenge of the Sith board. The game went fairly quickly, which is something I like about SWM. I won initiative probably 90% of the time. His “command team” of Jolee Bindo, Jabba, Tion, and Mas all hung out in one room while the Dactillion’s took care of the rest with the help of Booming Voice and the commander effects from his team. The 5 Dactillions were a pain to deal with and my Sith Heavy Assault Driods seemed to last a good long time. One of them and a Sith Elite Trooper took care of Jolee once he finally came out of the room. In the end, he eliminated every one of my figures while he still had one or two Dactillions and all of his command team minus Jolee. I can see how this game can get kind of frustrating if you play against uber competitive people, but this game was fun and the people who play there say they aren’t playing competitively. They seemed like a good group of guys and I had a blast.
