For a while I stopped blogging as I had become convinced that I really had nothing to say that NEEDED to be shared with hundreds of people.
In reality, this is all about me anyway!
Seriously, I like the reminder of what I was doing. So to that end…
A few of us play the Star Wars miniatures game (Gospog, I haven’t forgotten the rancor, I just suck at post office trips!!)
I think I’ll start posting up recaps of the games. At least the good ones.
For those that don’t play, the idea is simple. You have minis, each with a stat card… effectively the character sheet. From there, you do whatever your character is capable of. Move, shoot, force push, etc… The goal being simple: kill anyone that’s not you.
The game has factions: republic, rebellion, empire, mandalorian, etc… Your team has to stay within one faction (for the most part, there are exceptions).
Each character has a point value, and your squad has a cap on points. Usually we do 200 points. So that 115 point Luke may be badass, but that’s more than 1/2 your squad shot on one piece.
Tonight we did 5 pieces, no cap on points. Basically bring out your battering rams and see what happened.
My squad was brutal. Grievous, Ventress, Durge, Jango and Dooku.
There was one moment that I loved…
My squad was, as all good Separatist leaders would be, holed up in a room, waiting for the other 3 teams to soften each other up.
Right outside a door was Obi-Wan and Darth Bane (we weren’t honoring timelines here). The door was shut. I was lining things up so that on my turn I could pop the door open and use Dooku’s force lighting on both of them.
Obi-Wan used force push to shove Bane away from him and into the door, opening it, then ran.
Well, there we go. Bane is a MONSTER, but against all those pieces he didn’t stand a chance.
The way the 3 teams all screwed each other over was just perfect.
