  • Painting again

    It has been a while, but with recent gaps in gaming, I am making some more progress on the painting backlog. My son and I are tackling more of the Legion troops, myself with a mix of Rebel and CIS forces, and George working on his Clone army. First up is an unlikely pair of…

  • Twilight Imperium 2021 results

    As planned, we held our first (hopefully annual) Twilight Imperium tournament on New Year’s Eve. Although we had planned to start at 2 PM, it was pushed back to 5 PM due to player availability. All 8 players battled long and hard into the night, with us wrapping up due to exhaustion at 5 AM…

  • Battle for Galactic Domination

    With the end of the year, a new tradition is attempting to be started, with a New Year’s Eve Twilight Imperium game. With a host of friends, some good food and decent drink, we are planning on a multi-hour game session of Twilight Imperium with the Prophecy of Kings supplement – allowing for 8 players…

  • Wednesday Legion

    Another Wednesday, and a new Star Wars Legion game pitting the Republic Clones against the CIS Droids. Mission selection ended up with a “Intercept the Transmissions”, during “Clear Conditions”, and a “Roll-out” deployment. I was playing my unmodified Droids, while Thad was playing George’s standard Clone force. Terrain was decidedly “fantasy”, utilizing a fair bit…

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. I don’t necessarily agree with the “lost cause” nature of the fight at that point, but it was certainly heavily slanted, and highly…

  • Return to regular gaming

    With October over, it brings with it a change in the seasons, and an end to sports activities with the kids – both Football and Marching Band are now completed. It also brings a more open schedule, allowing for more gaming, meaning a return to our regularly scheduled games. In particular, we have our ongoing…
