Twilight Imperium

by
Planning on holding another game session of Twilight Imperium, sometime over the Christmas holiday. What better way to celebrate the spirit of peace and joy of the holidays, than to fight over galactic domination. At this point, tentatively looking at the 28th or 29th due to scheduling, but will really depend on player availability. Potentially…

Warfare Wednesday Redo
After the one-sided battle last week, we have challenged ourselves to repeat the battle, with lessons learned. Per our house standard, the victor (myself with Separatists) have not modified the force, while the loser (Republic) has made some adjustments. With those changes, a bit more time to analyze and consider the battlefield, and (hopefully) a…

Legion Results – CIS victory
As planned, we played our latest round of Star Wars Legion. Not as planned, it turned out to be an overwhelming CIS victory, with the Galactic Republic surrendering midway thru turn 2.

We have the table itself, which itself is rather massive, but still a bit cramped for the players. The first step was to create a virtual table…

Star Wars Armada – Salvage Run
With the recent Labor Day holiday in the US, I had the chance to revisit a favorite game with my son and play some more Armada. In truth, it was originally planned to be a game or two of X-Wing 2, but during assembly we discovered that several of the key pieces have gone missing.…

A whole new space

Following on my acquisition of the Twilight Imperium mat, I opted to add a new Star Wars: Armada mat, using the same grippiness. This will hopefully minimize the shifting of pieces during the game, and provides an alternative graphic. The mat was purchased thru Break From Reality Games in Seattle, and (unlike the prior one)…
