Revisiting the Trophy
Several months ago, I posted about my project to craft and create a trophy for our annual Magic the Gathering tournament. I managed to revisit this project this week, while I was spending time for work in Toledo. Didn’t end up having as much time as I had hoped (we had a big outage to…

X-Wing: Saw’s Renegades
Now that we had a chance to try the basic scenario of Star Wars: X-Wing, I have been eager to expand the collection. However, I am making a point of only acquiring 2nd edition kits, mainly so I don’t have to deal with the conversion sets. There are very few currently available, which helps the…

Star Wars – X-Wing intro game
Since we had to reschedule the start of our Shadowrun campaign, I used the opportunity to try out the second edition of Star Wars X-Wing with my son. The closest comparison we have is Armada, which although Star Wars, plays much differently. The main advantage we found is that the game runs much faster, turn…

Star Wars: Legion terrain

Star Wars: Armada – Precision Strike
During this last Sunday, we finally were able to fit in another game of Armada, between myself (Rebels) and my son (Imperials). Mission selected was Precision Strike. My plan had been to video tape the entire session, and then edit the game together later on. Unfortunately, I had some technical problems – first I had…
