    Had another chance to play some more X-Wing, or at least host the game (my son and one of our other gamers actually played). The battle was a straightforward 200 vs 200, with Scum vs Empire. On the Empire side, the squadron was Darth Vader and a TIE Advanced, supported by 4 TIE fighters (most…

    To go with the B-Wing yesterday, we also managed to add some reinforcements to the Scum, with the Mining Guild TIE fighter. This was a request from my son, who has taken a liking to the current Scum options, but wanted a decent filler ship compared to the much large Falcon and Slave I. I…

    Expanding our X-Wing collection with the latest wave, and adding the Rebel B-Wing. This has always been one of my favorite designs, even if the basic concept itself is rather unrealistic. With the new edition, Fantasy Flight has added quite a bit to the model, with a rotating mount point to the stand, folding wings,…

    Small resurgence of Star Wars recently, first with X-Wing, and now with the opportunity to play some Legion. The terrain was rather limited (not sure where my hills and trees are, or if I still have them), but the game mat and the 3d-printed Turbolaser tower worked well, along with the game’s included barricades. As…

    It has been a long time, but we finally had an opportunity to jump back into the cockpit and play some more X-Wing second edition this last Sunday. Joining us for the game where my sons, George and Ben, and their friends Carter and Craig. With five players, I quickly whipped up some multiplayer rules…

    A second Father’s Day acquisition, the family supplied me with the Princess Leia mini for Star Wars: Legion. This is good, since the collection has been heavily favoring the Empire recently and the Rebels really needed some reinforcements. Leia is of course a welcome addition, though admittedly the model is not the best. The face…

    Finally managed to get the trophy for this year’s Magic: The Gathering tournament to print properly. Previously, I had broken the model into 4 separate pieces, in order to minimize the printing challenge. Although it printed well, this also meant there were several very noticeable seams in the final assembly. This year, with some more…

    With the recent Father’s Day, my kids and family helped me expand the slowly growing Star Wars: Legion collection with a few of the heroes and villains. The first one is Boba Fett, feared bounty hunter, and addon for the Empire’s side. The model is nice, though perhaps a bit finicky – there are a…
