Star Wars Miniatures – The usual Tuesday games are back!

by Totengraber on Jul.15, 2009, under Miniatures, Star Wars Minis

After the downfall of the 4th edition D&D game, Fred and I have been getting together again for Star Wars Miniatures on Tuesdays. I don’t remember much about our games last week other than me losing pretty terribly while using Emperor Palpatine on Throne (and talking in his voice saying silly things). It seemed like I had trouble rolling over a 9 on a 20-sided die in most situations.

This week, however, it seemed like roles were reversed and Fred had trouble with his dice. We ended up playing two games.

Here was my army:

General Wedge Antilles
Twi’lek Black Sun Vigo
Mara Jade, Jedi
Kyle Katarn, Battle Master
Luke Skywalker, Force Spirit

His army went something like this:

Yomin Karr
Yuuzhan Vong Elite Warrior
Yuuzhan Vong Elite Warrior
Advance Scout
Yuuzhan Vong Ossus Guardian
Praetorite Vong Warrior
Yuuzhan Vong Shaper
Yuuzhan Vong Shaper

We played in the Transit Station, which worked well for our two mostly-melee armies. The Force Spirit got attached to Kyle. Fred won the deployment roll, which really doesn’t matter for this map since both ends are pretty much the same. I sent Kyle into the fray earlier than everyone else and he paid for it, but at the same time did lots of damage. After many’a Thud Bug and Spit Poison, it came down to General Wedge, Mara and the Vigo for my side and Yomin and a Shaper for his. Mara finished off Yomin and the Vigo did in the Shaper for the win.

The second game, we used these armies:

His:

Darth Malak, Dark Lord of the Sith
Duros Scout
Jawa Scavenger
Chiss Mercenary
Sith Marauder
Sith Lord

Mine:

Boba Fett, Mercenary
Bossk, Bounty Hunter
4-LOM, Bounty Hunter
Zuckuss
Greedo

Since he was playing Sith, we agreed to play the flavorful map and use Korriban. This was really bad for his melee-centric army, which I ended up feeling pretty bad about. Not to mention, his die rolls were pretty bad as well. I ended up winning this one after losing Bossk and Greedo.

As always, this game is a lot of fun and really pretty easy to learn and play (even though I forget Evade, Intuition and the basic targeting/cover rules). Fred is a good opponent as well as he has the tactics down and comes up with pretty good squads with the minis he has collected.
