Rancor on the Rampage!

A fun Star Wars game with The Kid this afternoon.

Members of The Jedi Council report that the planet of Booba 5 has been overrun by escaped creatures!

And that a Rancor is on the Rampage!

The 501st, with Jedi support, is dispatched to the planet.

The Jedis begin to get things under control.

But the Rancor is on the Rampage!!!!!

It is all to much for the Jedis and the members of the 501st.

(I'm not even going to mention the Mutant Grasshoppers...)

Zeldaraan

Well, it was a nice sunny day outside yesterday, so The Kid and I decided to play some Star Wars.   The Rebel Alliance had determined that a new Rebel base must be established in the Zeldaraan system.   A fleet was dispatched.

Ah, but the Empire has ears everywhere, so an Imperial flotilla of mighty (and mightily beautiful) warships were waiting for the Rebels.

The battle was fierce, yet somehow the Rebels managed to breakthrough the Imperial blockade and land an instant pre-fab base on Zeldaraan.

An Imperial invasion force makes an orderly landing outside of the instant pre-fab base.

The White Hats are now well-practiced in meeting Stormtroopers!

Together with the Zeldaraan's native Wookie population (?) the Rebels again successfully defeat the forces of the Empire.    This is cause for much celebrating.

Destroy the Droid Power Generators!

 The Kid wanted to have a Star Wars game with the D20's.   Jedis and Clone Troopers were sent to destroy the Power Generators that control the Droids in this system. 

The Droids were sent en mass to stop the Republic intruders.

Yoda takes care of the battle-droids.

Ventress surprises Ahsoka. 

General Grievous leads a last ditch attempt to save the generators.  But it is too late.  The Republic blows them up and the droids all de-activate.   Grievous vows to to return again...

Tatooine Tales

Yesterday, The Kid and I realized we hadn't played with the little Star Wars guys for a while.  Actually, it was more me.  I really wanted to get the Wookies out on the table.  And the Stormtroopers.  And then it just went crazy until the table was covered.

 After a major battle, the action shifted to a small adventure involving the three Lukes trying to prevent the five Princesses from being "bountyed".  If the Bounty Hunters succeed in capturing and ransoming the Princesses, they can  buy a fleet of Star Destroyers and take over the galaxy!  ...And Hammerhead will be the Emperor!!   Tut ta Daaa...To be continued...

It Snowed!

We actually had some snow today!  Hooray!!  So The Kid and I decided it was time for Hoth again.

The Empire was not so lucky this time.

Holiday Monday

Two games today!

General Grevious commands a Droid force to seize light-sabres and Gonks from a Jedi gathering. 

Jedis in a blur of action.  This was Yoda's first game with us and also the first one using the great scenary pieces The Kid made for my Christmas present.

Kit Fisto before he bests the Magna Guards, and the Jedis win the battle.

Later in the afternoon Prof. Elf brought his family over and we were able to enjoy a great Warhammer fantasy blast.   The Dwarf Civil War has started up again...

The Princess Is In Trouble (Again)!

Just finished up a very fun Star Wars/3rd Ed. 40K game with Private D.   Princess Leia's ship had crash-landed in an Imperial field right beside a Rodian Gambling House.  Within moments the forces of Empire were on the scene.

Ben desperately tries to hold back the Stormtroopers.  But he is old and the Princess is captured.

But then a Rebel rescue party appears.

After a brief fight, Leia is freed and she finishes off her last two captors.

Rebels!

Surprise Attack?

Had a great game with The Kid today.           

                                                                               

A Rebel surprise attack on an Imperial command post in the Zynon sector is in turn surprised by a massive Imperial army.

It also turned out that this Imperial Command Post was a bustling Gonk Droid making Factory! 

Gonk, Gonk, Gonk, Gonk, Gonk-Gonk, Gonk, Gonk-Gonk...

And these Gonks were great mechanics!  But the real stars of the game were the Tie Crawlers.  They were everywhere.  In the end there was just Han.  It was a crushing defeat for the Rebel Alliance.
