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.

• 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.
