As time went on, Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries and Mechcommander on the PC expanded my love for the universe, followed by the sequels to both games.</p><p>My early miniature gaming was primarily Warhammer 40k & Fantasy, I had no real interest in Battletech as a miniature game when I was younger but that changed with the release of Mechwarrior: Dark Age by Wizkids in my early 20's. I know a lot of Classic Battletech (as it has been known since) players didn't like the direction Wizkids took the game - it was completely different from the game they played and loved, the fiction had been given a time jump, new characters replaced old favourites and generally left a bad taste in their mouths.</p><p>Personally, I loved it. I had a great group of people to game with, I was invested in the new lore just as much as the old and it was just fantastic to get so involved with the universe in a way I hadn't before.</p><p>Were there things I didn't like? Yes of course. Blind boosters were annoying but almost everything was at least usable. Some game balance issues were clearly evident especially in those first few waves of releases - Fire for Effect introduced artillery and that threw people for a right spin. There were some really strange interactions that could be used that made no sense in real life but worked too well in game.</p><p>For all its faults, I still loved MW:DA and I do still play from time to time, just for a nostalgia kick!</p><p>Move on some number of years since MW:DA was cancelled, I got the urge to look into Battletech again, picking up some mechs from Ral Partha Europe and throwing a bit of paint on them with no real intention of getting into Classic Battletech with any serious thought, just maybe play the odd game or two.</p><p>Enter Alpha Strike. I'd seen mention of this on the Battletech forums and had absolutely no idea what this was, so after a bit of digging about for information it appeared to be exactly what I was after - a quick, easy to play version of Battletech.</p><p>I timed it really well, with the release of the "A Game of Armoured Combat" and the Introductory boxed sets, plastic rather than metal mechs (I've never liked metal minis) I was hooked. Picked up the Alpha Strike pdf, found resources such as the Master Unit List and I'm all on board.</p><p>I've played a few test games so far, and with the release of the Clan Invasion boxed set and some expansions have a nice little force being built up now.</p><p>So far, most of the mechs I've painted are from MW:DA factions - it's the era I first gamed in, and the one that I'm most invested in.</p><p>So my first set of mechs from the Introductory & AGoAC box sets have mostly been painted in Swordsworn colours:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJM0q5bcqk-Z84FZxBZy-c8N887Yha1yFvGGRJbzFl-Hz3nnSJEjuD14WTbwPvQHMIqwMnjzN8OxrJIgPYFMGATKsyUXf7AYwKsp_wJio3OYmDaftLD6Tg7YeSGw5e5OPC0VCKL9DhSjg/s1440/Swordsworn+1st+Lance.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1313" data-original-width="1440" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJM0q5bcqk-Z84FZxBZy-c8N887Yha1yFvGGRJbzFl-Hz3nnSJEjuD14WTbwPvQHMIqwMnjzN8OxrJIgPYFMGATKsyUXf7AYwKsp_wJio3OYmDaftLD6Tg7YeSGw5e5OPC0VCKL9DhSjg/s320/Swordsworn+1st+Lance.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I choose to go for the lighter green seen on the Swordsworn Thor that was in MW:DA (Gary Metcalfe I think was the unit in question) purely because I just wanted them to be my own take on them rather than the much darker green used in the MW:DA game.

I'm particularly happy with the Thor in the centre of the last picture, reversing the colour scheme will help signify it as the Star's lead mech in games.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Next up will be my Dragon's Fury mechs, but I'm going to get a couple of games in with the above first as I've not actually used them yet.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Hopefully, I'll be posting a bit more content again, between Battletech and the newly released Star Trek Attack Wing Alliance: Dominion War Campaign, I can get back into the swing of things!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Anyway, until next time!</div>The idhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12631905701262388976noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3475681295658486897.post-70916122691010536582019-12-19T14:13:00.002-08:002019-12-19T14:13:46.353-08:00Attack Wing - Update & RandomsHi all, just a quick update regarding the state of the game - there have been no official OP events in my local store for some time, so instead we've been playing games with a random mission generator that I've come up with - basically you get one main objective and one secondary each one allocating you a number of victory points.<br />
<br />
So, just running though some action shots from one of last years most memorable games (and I'm sorry I've been mega quiet, just had no time to update anything):<br />
<br />
This game was a three way battle between TMP era Klingons, TMP era Federation & my Xindi force.<br />
<br />
The Klingons had the "Move the asteroid off the board" condition, in which they can spend an action to tractor beam an asteroid towards the edge of the board, if they get it off before it reaches the far side they get the points.<br />
<br />
The Federation had "Kill the opposing flagship", in which they must destroy the most expensive ship from each fleet.<br />
<br />
The Xindi ended up with "Research raid", so attack the planet (which is shielded) then spend an action to transport a research token onto their ships.<br />
<br />
The secondary objectives were two "Turnabout Intruders", which are an objective that can be moved a random speed (D6) in any straight line by whichever player rolls the highest, then at the beginning of the attack phase, they attack each ship with 3 red dice, no mods - if it kills a ship on a turn you moved it, you gain points for the kill.<br />
<br />
The last one is "Countdown to extinction", so essentially, from turn 6 onwards each ship rolls a red die and takes any damage from it - last ship standing gains the points.<br />
<br />
I'm just going to throw the pics down and you can see the chaos!<br />

Overall, an excellent game, chaotic and brutal - just how we like it!<br />
<br />
Next up, X-Wing games!<br />

<br />
Now this is only my second game of 40k and no doubt we're getting little things incorrect here and there and as this is a friendly game we're not too fussy!<br />
<br />
Anyway, army-wise I've always liked the look of the Grey Knights and I've had some lying around for a few years, never really finished painting them so when we decided to have a game it was either them or my Imperial Fists.<br />
<br />
The first game used the Fists but even though I pulled out a win by the skin of my teeth I felt the Grey Knights offered me more choice and as my opponent was using Space Marines as well, it would at least not end up being a clone war!<br />
<br />
So, we decided to use power values as opposed to points, using everything I had we ended up with 78 power.<br />
<br />
On my side this consisted of a 10-man Interceptor squad, a 5-man Terminator squad, a 3-man Paladin squad, a Nemesis Dreadknight, a GK Librarian, a Brother-Captain and a Grand Master:<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
My opponents force consisted of 3x 10-man Devastator squads, 2x 10-man Tactical squads, a 10-man Scout squad, 2x Captains and a Tech-Marine with a cannon.<br />
<br />
So with my opponent having rolled for the game type etc, it ended up that I would place first and start first (no idea how, I just went with it).<br />
<br />
After placing the 4 objectives and deciding board sides, deployment ended up looking like this:<br />
<br />

<br />
My Paladins and Librarian were as far in towards the centre as possible, the Interceptors over on the left hand side and the remaining forces held in teleport pods ready to drop in (we realise there was the 50% rule but erred on the side of model count) <br />
<br />

My opponent deployed as follows:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This meant that my opponent would have control of two objectives barring nothing untoward happening, whereas I would have to advance forward as I'd placed my two more centrally on the board.<br />
<br />
Looking at my opponents placement and knowing I had the initiative for the first turn I had some interesting choices to make. I'd not faced the Techmarine or the Scouts with sniper rifles before so made them a priority target. This would have the added benefit of making the objective obtainable, if not immediately then a turn or two in. So now it was a case of selecting which units would teleport where... My Interceptors jumped towards the mass of Tactical and Devastators on the right of the picture above. My Dreadknight and Brother-Captain teleported in next to them.<br />
<br />
On the other side, my Terminators and Grand Master teleported in. During the psychic phase, my Librarian used Gate of Inifnity to teleport my Paladins in, supporting the Grand Master and Terminators.<br />
<br />
During the rest of this phase, my units used Smite to remove a couple of Scouts and some Tactical Marines.<br />
<br />
The shooting phase began, with the Interceptor's Storm Bolters decimating the frontmost tactical squad, the Brother-Captain finished them off. The Psilencers killed a few of the Scouts.<br />
<br />
The Dreadknight had range on the middle Devastator squad and opened up on them, killing most of them.<br />
<br />
On the left side, the Terminators killed the Techmarine and the Paladins reduced the Scouts to 5-men.<br />
<br />
The assault phase saw my Interceptors charge the rear-most Devastator squad, the Dreadknight charge the middle Devastator squad and my Paladins succeed in charging the Captain.<br />
<br />
What followed was an absolute slaughter - the Devastator squad was reduced to just the Sargeant by the Dreadknight, the Interceptors reduced the Devastators to three men (the opposing Captain joined the fray at this point) and lost only three in return.<br />
<br />

Overall, I was more than suprised as to how effective this round has been for me. Considering how outnumbered I had been, I was now in a decent position.<br />

<br />
Onto Space Marines turn 1...<br />
<br />
Not much happened in the movement phase at all, during the shooting phase the Scouts and the last Devastator squad managed to kill the Brother-Captain (some really bad rolls did not help me here).<br />
<br />
In the assault phase, the Scouts rallied to the defence of the Tactical squad against the Paladins but were utterly wiped out by them. On the other side, the Devastators and Captain engaged with the Interceptors reduced them to 2 survivors, in return they managed to kill off the remnants of the Devastator squad.<br />
<br />
The power fist Sargeant managed to damage the Dreadknight further and the last Devastator squad moved into close combat with the Dreadknight. The hammered it, reducing it to 3 wounds. The Dreadknight finished off the Sargeant but was now in poor shape.<br />
<br />
So after all was said and done, in turn 1, the Space Marines gained 1 victory point from having uncontested control of one of the objectives. The Interceptors failed thier leadership test so fled the battlefield.<br />
<br />
The kills at this point in the game looked like this:<br />

<br />
On the flip side, the Scouts, one Tactical squad, two Devastator squads, one Captain and the Techmarine were gone.<br />
<br />
Grey Knights turn 2!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
My Terminators and Grand Master moved towards the fray, my Librarian moved into range of one of the objectives.<br />
<br />
During the psychic phase my Grand Master rolled perils of the warp twice, rolling 3 mortal wounds twice, killing himself. Epic fail.<br />
<br />
The rest of the units Smited for a few kills in total, then during the assault phase the Terminators moved into base contact with the Tactical squad. They then proceeded with the Paladins to wipe them out, consolidating towards the final opposing forces (the last Devastator squad and the Captain).<br />
<br />
The Dreadknight attacked the Devastator squad, causing little damage.<br />
<br />
During my opponents turn, the Dreadknight is eliminated: <br />

Grey Knights turn 3:<br />
<br />
It starts like this:<br />
<br />

<br />
I move my Teminators and Paladins into close range and open up with everything. I manage to kill some of the marines, during the psychic phase another falls and then I charge in - the Terminators go for the Captain and the Paladins for the last remaining members of the Devastators. The Paladins reduce the Devastators to three men and the Terminators manage to do one wound to the Captain.<br />
<br />
During the Space Marine turn, the Devastators manage to kill one othe Paladins and wound both of the others. They are finished off in return.<br />
<br />
The Captain is unable to harm the Terminators... I claim 2 more VPs.<br />
<br />
Grey Knights turn 4:<br />
<br />
During the psychic phase, the Librarian finally manages to Gate into range - all units cast smite on the Captain, reducing him to one wound:<br />

<br />
<br />
The Terminators attack, eventually the Justicar with the Daemon Hammer manages to score the final blow, killing the Captain and winning the day for the Grey Knights!<br />
<br />
So, final thoughts having discussed some of this with my opponent - the fact I went first and the placement that my opponent used made it so as soon as I managed to get into close-combat I could just keep on consolidating through and steamrolling his forces. If they had been more spread out I would have had a harder time I think.<br />
<br />
The unit of the game for me were the Interceptors. The speed and the amount of pure firepower and close combat damage they can throw out is horrific.<br />
<br />
The Dreadknight I probably shouldn't have charged into close combat... In retrospect with the weapon loadout (Gatling Psilencer/Heavy Incinerator) I should have stayed out and used it to throw as many attacks in as possible but live and learn!<br />
<br />
Epic fail rolling of the day was the Grand Master... two perils in a row and 3 damage each time... unbelievable.<br />
<br />
We definitely missed out on a few things, both forgetting things that would have helped but we are still learning after all!<br />
<br />
Anyway, if you've read through all of that, thank you very much & I hoped you enjoyed it!The idhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12631905701262388976noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3475681295658486897.post-5231090000742182472017-07-31T12:42:00.003-07:002017-07-31T12:45:34.229-07:00X-Wing Store Championships...Ok, so this happened last weekend - the X-Wing store championship at the always awesome Gamer's Emporium in Swansea...<br />
<br />
As you may well be aware, my record with X-Wing is not exactly stellar by any means so with great trepidation I headed into this at least wanting to destroy one ship. Just one. Unlike the last time. Where nothing wanted to blow up. At all.<br />
<br />
Having now run two Rebel lists and a Scum list I wanted to give something different a try - Imperials.<br />
<br />
Now as far as selection goes I think the problem I'm having overall is that I can't throw enough red dice at things - nothing wants to blow up. So, to counter my awful red dice rolling I've decided to maximise my odds by throwing as many dice as possible - two TIE Defenders with the TIE/D title and ion cannons.<br />
<br />
So, which ones to take? Countess Ryad is, for me at least, an auto-include. The ability to perform a green k-turn at any speed is just too good to pass up.<br />
<br />
The second Defender will have to be Vessery - picking up the more or less free target lock added to the focus that I will inevitably take has really good potential to enable me to hit something.<br />
<br />
The third ship was where the big choice was going to be made. I wanted to take a TIE of some description that could hurt something.<br />
<br />
With only 24 points available I had the option of taking a TIE/Fo (which I prefer over the normal TIE's due to that shield) or a TIE Bomber with some shenanigans...<br />
<br />
In the end I went for "Omega Ace" as it can, in the right circumstances, hurt something.<br />
<br />
So, the full list is as follows:<br />
<br />
Countess Ryad, TIE/D title, Ion Cannon, Veteran Instincts - 38 points, PS7<br />
<br />
Colonel Vessary, TIE/D title, Ion Cannon, Adaptability - 38 points, PS7<br />
<br />
Omega Ace, Push the Limit - 23 points, PS7<br />
<br />
99 points in total. <br />
<br />
This does give me the advantage of being able to mix and match which of my ships move and fire first - having a little flexability always helps...<br />
<br />
Onto the actual games!<br />
<br />
Round 1 vs Tony (Imperials)<br />
<br />
An almost identical list, Tony was using Ryad with a tractor beam and the TIE/D title, Vessery with the TIE/x7 title and Omega Leader.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately my memory card on my phone had a bit of a pout with me here and it didn't take any of the photos. Hmph.<br />
<br />
Anyway, it went a little like this - a joust to begin with with neither squadron inflicting a massive amount of damage on the other, but ions being thrown around a bit which managed to get me into position on his Ryad allowing me to finish her off. I then lost Vessary but not before Omega Ace got off the critical effect attack on Omega Leader. Ryad then finished off Vessary for the win.<br />
<br />
100 - 38, my first tournament game win in some time!<br />
<br />
Round 2 vs Andre (S&V)<br />
<br />
Andre was running Fenn, a Contracted Scout and a Mandalorian Mercenary. Photos this time!<br />
<br />
The initial setup:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXERoUZiGUHL_XzsC_hrkEja6l2mXJqb0snCkw21sk22yuVMnnDfi8DYACHr4NA9fRbTOO8Y_0F5dj-b8HmckK8w5OwUjFwMVQDjSz8H9L3eBS0Iyl2DFQOlMEgRk4kDWTat4Mc3W9yfs/s1600/R2+Game+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="720" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXERoUZiGUHL_XzsC_hrkEja6l2mXJqb0snCkw21sk22yuVMnnDfi8DYACHr4NA9fRbTOO8Y_0F5dj-b8HmckK8w5OwUjFwMVQDjSz8H9L3eBS0Iyl2DFQOlMEgRk4kDWTat4Mc3W9yfs/s320/R2+Game+1.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
Fenn was being placed on the far side of the table in this photo.<br />
<br />
My squadron stuck together like glue in this match, I made a choice early on to just ignore Fenn and take out the others first - there was a lot of barrel rolling going on on the other side of the table and I had decided that the first target would be the Mandalorian Mercenary:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As you can see - I was starting to get Ion tokens on the Firespray at long range, and with Fenn too far out to hit me I knew I had to get it off the board quickly.<br />
<br />
The following turn I made more progress on hunting down the Firespray:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Another Ion token on the Firespray and I knew exactly where it was going next turn - my best chance to finish it before having to deal with Fenn, who was by now in range and starting to hit Vessery.<br />
<br />
The next turn:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjygkD_91STOXQ6DZXesg1jth11qbNsFle4pIHr7EnMBObwmHjLNJveNNcyL8ukZjOAIK9y1FA9eTj62FcuhP9gyQjtUKFLI51f480R0GJqKOwjaWPocygqkZfOJF0kZhsfIaVW7ExWWKc/s1600/R2+Game+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="720" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjygkD_91STOXQ6DZXesg1jth11qbNsFle4pIHr7EnMBObwmHjLNJveNNcyL8ukZjOAIK9y1FA9eTj62FcuhP9gyQjtUKFLI51f480R0GJqKOwjaWPocygqkZfOJF0kZhsfIaVW7ExWWKc/s320/R2+Game+4.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
This was the end for the Firespray. Taken down in the end by Ryad this put me in a good position going forward. Unfortunately Fenn was hammering Vessery by this point and he was in bad shape...<br />
<br />
Shortly afterwards Fenn took a couple of hits but managed to finish off Vessery.<br />
<br />
Two turns later, Omega Ace had focussed and target locked the Contracted Scout at range one, using its effect rolled three critical hits on the Scout to take it off the board.<br />
<br />
This left the board looking a little like this:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Fenn went hunting for Omega Ace but it took time getting behind him and when Omega Ace eventually went down Ryad had managed to get a side-on Ion hit on Fenn, now down to one hull and without a return shot. The next turn Ryad had free reign to take on an out of position Fenn - the Ion shot went through eliminating Fenn!<br />
<br />
My second win of the day, 100-61.<br />
<br />
So far so good... However, all good things...<br />
<br />
Round 3 vs Chris (Rebels)<br />
<br />
Dash and Nym. This was just an epic failure on my part. I landed Ryad on a rock and it just exploded without firing a shot. Omega Ace followed shortly afterwards which left Vessery up against an undamaged Dash and a hardly damaged Nym:<br />

Nym kept dropping bomblets and I kept landing on them! I did manage to keep Dash at range one for a few turns but I just couldn't escape the bombs in the end... a loss, 100-0!<br />
<br />
Last round vs Steve (S&V)<br />
<br />
Dengar and Nym... Hmm... Nym...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So, here we go... aim of the day - kill Nym first worry about Dengar later. Joust in, didn't realise Nym had autoblasters and accurancy correcter, three turns in and Omega Ace was gone. In retaliation Ryad and Vessery wiped Nym off the board but Dengar was in position to smash Vessery, taking all his shields off and leaving me in a bad shape. I managed to block Dengar for a turn but an excellent 5 hit shot with torpedos on Ryad basically finished me off in this one. Next turn Ryad was gone and Vessery was running for his life, unfortunately I just couldn't run fast enough or hit hard enough to outfly Dengar - the higher pilot skill made it really difficult to outmanouver and in the end I couldn't get it done. A loss but with half points from Dengar - 100-68.<br />
<br />
11th place overall, although postitions 11-6 were all 2-2 on the day, points scored being the decider.<br />
<br />
I was really happy with my games on the day, with the exception of the third game where some really silly decisions lost me the game before I even started.<br />
<br />
To sum up, my best X-Wing performance to date and I have found a new favourite ship - the TIE Defender is awesome. <br />
<br />
I may also need to get my team shirt re-done as for once it was incorrect:<br />

<br />
300 Point Rebel vs Imperial, the Rebel fleet has received the support of the MC80 "Defiance" and the Imperial fleet is being led by the "Interdictor"...<br />
<br />
After the first turn, the fleets start lining up for their attack runs:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf2HXEOxU-vZtTJwwPHwtp4sCzuchy21BBCDGNWJSBbRmC3g3m4n6in_fana7cwfzVXex7G-qrxMKzLf9sR5tHyJeaQa5dhERdwnPKQQ9n00grMPY9K9SaoV2JluzXHh66bchS6McIIj8/s1600/IMG_0706.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="722" data-original-width="1288" height="179" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf2HXEOxU-vZtTJwwPHwtp4sCzuchy21BBCDGNWJSBbRmC3g3m4n6in_fana7cwfzVXex7G-qrxMKzLf9sR5tHyJeaQa5dhERdwnPKQQ9n00grMPY9K9SaoV2JluzXHh66bchS6McIIj8/s320/IMG_0706.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
After the first round of combat, the Interdictor has taken some hull damage and one of the CR-90's has no shields left at all.<br />
<br />
During the start of the third round the fleets started off in the following position:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd5KJhYeg8MJ2lV5zSiDv5YJLM6nY517kV1Y3mr7V9Uj0yhjcKH2H3d9NZUff8oExtm_jzj9VDSaLXZazSVMtSD7tWB3ZqkDDSRuJBFDrYSkADm51KTSEawwUw-RBWtGQIdSeyXOSJ1D4/s1600/IMG_0708.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="689" data-original-width="1288" height="171" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd5KJhYeg8MJ2lV5zSiDv5YJLM6nY517kV1Y3mr7V9Uj0yhjcKH2H3d9NZUff8oExtm_jzj9VDSaLXZazSVMtSD7tWB3ZqkDDSRuJBFDrYSkADm51KTSEawwUw-RBWtGQIdSeyXOSJ1D4/s320/IMG_0708.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
The Rebel fleet activated first, which meant the "Defiance" had a point-blank Ackbar enhanced volley at the now defenceless side arc of the "Interdictor"...<br />
<br />
Seven hits and two Accuracy results later, the "Interdictor" was floating debris:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHx8KYsnDwqjfCiu_9qahtD-cQ9zym75Dlmh9dk21_ggbX35FxU7e3hEixaSFRX_V75ciCicMtMjKhGuk_uz1XHiDU_1dUbdI2-NnmnSb3_Lz-ftXNes60caV1TgavFibXeJgozu4V9cE/s1600/IMG_0711.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="966" data-original-width="1288" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHx8KYsnDwqjfCiu_9qahtD-cQ9zym75Dlmh9dk21_ggbX35FxU7e3hEixaSFRX_V75ciCicMtMjKhGuk_uz1XHiDU_1dUbdI2-NnmnSb3_Lz-ftXNes60caV1TgavFibXeJgozu4V9cE/s320/IMG_0711.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
The second shot went into the front of the Victory Star Destroyer, reducing the shields to nothing and causing slight hull damage.<br />
<br />
The very next turn, the "Defiance" and the VSD ended up in perfect broadside position of each other:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLrHcceHtw-nq9gbsh9MwXxNl1EKCDw9D1GQd8oF3kcyBdNvk1jVbFbqp3eYqbeAwFmQ0jE5R2uiprht9Dzu4XgN_dgRwdZhTMqDaeyU1U1ljsel574HbH4qRybqZyEP1Y9hxx_fZG6E0/s1600/IMG_0713.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="966" data-original-width="1288" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLrHcceHtw-nq9gbsh9MwXxNl1EKCDw9D1GQd8oF3kcyBdNvk1jVbFbqp3eYqbeAwFmQ0jE5R2uiprht9Dzu4XgN_dgRwdZhTMqDaeyU1U1ljsel574HbH4qRybqZyEP1Y9hxx_fZG6E0/s320/IMG_0713.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
Again the "Defiance" activated first and hammered the VSD with an Ackbar enhanced attack reducing it to a single hull point remaining. The "Defiance" then moved outside of the VSD's front arc, which limited the amount of damage that could be done to it in return. It took a shot from the side arc and from the rear arc which reduced it to three hull points remaining.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately for the VSD, it was unable to move far enough to miss the debris field - this gave it two damage directly to the hull which was enough to destroy the ship:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9lzFKIxRwyGDn5vE_j6z5Z0D5uynrE_xiZKJi2j2fnS5XoQQIHdaUfGI6-zpQUlSq-kzcfwbe7r52akIkDyALlroOMJAtgF4R7u27QclVxbSJyuyFCh5Rcn4ZdjCghJQp75J_MCq-5X0/s1600/IMG_0718.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="966" data-original-width="1288" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9lzFKIxRwyGDn5vE_j6z5Z0D5uynrE_xiZKJi2j2fnS5XoQQIHdaUfGI6-zpQUlSq-kzcfwbe7r52akIkDyALlroOMJAtgF4R7u27QclVxbSJyuyFCh5Rcn4ZdjCghJQp75J_MCq-5X0/s320/IMG_0718.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
So in the end, a clear victory for the Rebel fleet. I've skipped a lot of the squadron action here but the X-Wings were instrumental in tearing down the shields of the "Interdictor" early on which allowed the "Defiance" to finish it off.<br />
<br />
A quick shot of the surviving fleet:<br />

So, until next time, hope you enjoyed this quick little report and thanks for taking a look!The idhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12631905701262388976noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3475681295658486897.post-83980872917551283382017-07-16T09:37:00.000-07:002017-07-16T09:37:07.655-07:00Our first catch of the day...Something a little different today... Star Wars Armada.<br />
<br />
I've had this for a while but never actually gotten around to playing it. At the moment I only have the core game and a CR-90 expansion so I managed to cobble together one Rebel and one Imperial 200 point fleet to try out.<br />
<br />
So, after one little read-through of the rulebook and creating the fleets I just dove straight in...<br />
<br />
The Imperial fleet:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmcI7txDAd5CN_MAQo-RJqeeWbkf3YfhC55KuumhkwCE_Hi24oegI4bv-K0m1XLFxVosNRcawCLhCO0bKiV7iAfzcKPH4EBTjhAQ5vOB9zF5erXAFkBMUYMU00RiI_fHbZ2erev3F6Lfg/s1600/IMG_0685.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="966" data-original-width="1288" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmcI7txDAd5CN_MAQo-RJqeeWbkf3YfhC55KuumhkwCE_Hi24oegI4bv-K0m1XLFxVosNRcawCLhCO0bKiV7iAfzcKPH4EBTjhAQ5vOB9zF5erXAFkBMUYMU00RiI_fHbZ2erev3F6Lfg/s320/IMG_0685.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The Rebel fleet:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3WqyHBxKkFXVwfZBa0RBArtd4YUk02-MY2cuKczrhTsH94YuHwt9MlW6gmi_yrlfkpIH6tVvDpWOVWdiBXwVC_1Evya7un5Fwqr-uHcOwkrbdocUUfA-94LrpJ8QQuJypMxit91kHGdU/s1600/IMG_0690.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="966" data-original-width="1288" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3WqyHBxKkFXVwfZBa0RBArtd4YUk02-MY2cuKczrhTsH94YuHwt9MlW6gmi_yrlfkpIH6tVvDpWOVWdiBXwVC_1Evya7un5Fwqr-uHcOwkrbdocUUfA-94LrpJ8QQuJypMxit91kHGdU/s320/IMG_0690.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
I wanted to stay clear of using too many squadrons for my first play-through, just wanted to get used to the mechanics and see if it was worth investing a bit more time and effort in the game or if I should just stick to Attack Wing & X-Wing.<br /><br />
Initial setup was on a 3x3 table with only 4 obstacles, smaller fleets, a little less room should get the action started more quickly. Also, I was going to play until one fleet was destroyed, not bothered with the 6 turn limit (not sure how long a smaller fleet game should run but hey-ho!).<br />
<br />
Turn 1:<br />
<br />
Basically, every ship moved closer with the two CR-90's attempting to rush off to the near side of the table in order to get better position on the VSD in following turns:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcW3h_toGwhDjcdhYBNj-SUujQxTj_MhDLmBSZbaSCFoAKZ2a8DFYWuz1qYb5VI9guwmnccIB5rxDAYAmAGyrpKaQvKSD1cVDfwmrgNQM9d_lrNTKsW-u8N27w-x7QfL5bp097JidEjbo/s1600/IMG_0691.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="966" data-original-width="1288" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcW3h_toGwhDjcdhYBNj-SUujQxTj_MhDLmBSZbaSCFoAKZ2a8DFYWuz1qYb5VI9guwmnccIB5rxDAYAmAGyrpKaQvKSD1cVDfwmrgNQM9d_lrNTKsW-u8N27w-x7QfL5bp097JidEjbo/s320/IMG_0691.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
Turn 2:<br />
<br />
The CR-90's continued to move into flanking positions on the VSD, with Dodonna's Pride being swarmed by the TIE squadrons:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUjDIzZxWsNR-Ix8fqeeXxL2dD1CKnjjRycT_PRZeixxU8bdyCYNIjiO8-ekmXgBLTbikAR62uhmvEjGbeNhtrim7P01nOIp3SAZCmRrrEond7xz0_8pLKqnrGZDFqKT02WQniOZunUg4/s1600/IMG_0693.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="966" data-original-width="1288" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUjDIzZxWsNR-Ix8fqeeXxL2dD1CKnjjRycT_PRZeixxU8bdyCYNIjiO8-ekmXgBLTbikAR62uhmvEjGbeNhtrim7P01nOIp3SAZCmRrrEond7xz0_8pLKqnrGZDFqKT02WQniOZunUg4/s320/IMG_0693.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
Turn 3:<br />
<br />
The CR-90's open up on the TIE squadrons, doing significant damage to them but not finishing any of them off. Dodonna's Pride managed to knock off a couple of the VSD's shields at extreme range and took a bit of a beating in return. After all ships and squadrons had activated it looked a little like this:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Turn 4:<br />
<br />
Dodonna's Pride activated first and opened up on the TIE squadrons, managing to eliminate three of them before turning its weapons on the VSD, taking a few more shields off it. I actually forgot to move the CR-90 at this point, but live and learn!<br />
<br />
The VSD then activated, taking a point blank range shot at the Dodonna's Pride:<br />

This was enough damage to overload the remaining shields and destroy the Dodonna's Pride.<br />
<br />
With its next shot, again from the front arc thanks to the gunnery team, the VSD took aim at Jaina's Light:<br />

Having already taken some damage from the TIE's this was enough to wipe it off the board.<br />
<br />
The Nebulon fired at the VSD, tearing through it's remaini shields and causing damage to the hull.<br />
<br />
After movement, the remaining ships ended up at point blanks range of each other:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Turn 5:<br />
<br />
This was a very interesting situation. The Nebulon activated first, ripping though the remaining shields of the VSD and causing damage straight to the hull. Its second shot proceeded to pile on yet more damage and when it came to moving, there was no position it could get clear of the VSD, so they each took a point of hull damage due to the ram.<br />
<br />
The VSD only got the one shot in return, and most of that damage was redirected to the port shields. Again, not fast enough to clear the Nebulon, a ram and hull damage to each ship... Hmm...<br />
<br />
Turn 6:<br />
<br />
Two shots for the Nebulon, this being the second:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Coupled with the damage from the ram, this managed to destroy the VSD, leaving the Nebulon on one hull remaining...<br />
<br />
Well... a win for the Rebellion by the slimmest of margins and I must say considering the limited ships at my disposal I quite enjoyed the game.<br />
<br />
Learning when to use the correct command dials is going to take a bit of getting used to and the continuous ramming during those last couple of turns was very odd. Other than that, I think I will be picking up a few more ships shortly...<br />

Thanks for having a look, I'll be back soon with another report of one form or another!The idhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12631905701262388976noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3475681295658486897.post-81683176006622842392017-06-25T13:41:00.002-07:002017-07-03T03:41:10.053-07:00In a Mirror, Darkly... OPLet's take a little trip in time and space... through the looking glass...<br />
<br />
In a Mirror, Darkly is the last OP event scheduled at our local store for the meantime, so there was no way that I was going to miss out!<br />
<br />
Normally I tend to take lists that are quite complex and have a lot of "moving parts" as it were, so for a change I wanted to run something simple. Something that wouldn't tax my tiny fragile, little mind too much!<br />
<br />
So, without further ado, my list for this event was as follows:<br />
<br />
Klingon Starship (Vor'cha Class) [26]<br />
- Jean-Luc Picard 9 (Captain) [7]<br />
Ship Total: 33 SP<br />
<br />
Klingon Starship (Vor'cha Class) [26]<br />
- Gul Dukat 7 (Captain) [6]<br />
Ship Total: 32 SP<br />
<br />
Muratas [22]<br />
- Degra 4 (Captain) [3]<br />
- Thermal Chamber [3]<br />
- Particle Beam Weapon [4]<br />
Ship Total: 32 SP<br />
<br />
Klingon Starship (Vor'cha Class) [26]<br />
- Karr 8 (Captain) [6]<br />
Ship Total: 32 SP<br />
<br />
Fleet Total: 129 SP<br />
<br />
A simple list, Jean-Luc Picard and Dukat both give two actions, Karr has his automatic re-roll and a good chance of an extra attack die. Lastly the Muratas is there to pack a punch and hopefully distract attacks away from the Vor'chas. It won't last long, but the seven attack dice are a nice distraction...<br />
<br />
So, onto game one vs a nicely themed list, featuring the I.S.S. Defiant with Mirror Riker, the U.S.S. Defiant with Hathaway Riker, the Negh'var with Benjamin Sisko and the Regent's Flagship with Mirror Sisko... I loved the take on the theme here, really nice...<br />
<br />
So a quick shot of the two fleets lining up:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Turn one movement, slowly advancing those ships that are able, cloak. The Tholian web starts to close:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After the fleets close, the U.S.S. Defiant falls to combined fire, finished off by Karr:<br />

Karr finishes off the Regent's Flagship with a horrific volley of fire, in return the Muratas is wiped off the board.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
A very mixed up set of manouveres later, Dukat eliminates the I.S.S. Defiant, in return it was destroyed by the Negh'Var:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
After the last round of movement and firing, the last ships survive until time is called:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Result of the first game, 90-64, a well fought win.<br />
<br />
<br />
Game two vs a mixed Borg and Romulan fleet, with a tactical cube, the Avatar of Tomed and Prototype 01, here is a quick shot of the ships:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The second turn in, both fleets converged and the combined fire of two Vor'chas and the Muratas managed to destroy the Tactical Cube before it even managed to fire a shot.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
After return fire, and a round of movement later, everything seemed to collide in mid-space, with damage meted out to all ships - the Muratas was destroyed and Karr's Vor'cha was hammered. The Avatar received damage in return but not enough to kill it:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The remaining Vor'cha's had by this time managed to move into position to start attacking the Avatar in earnest, finally removing the last remaining shields:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The Prototype pulled a 180 degree manouver but unfortunately that left it in point-blank range of both Vor'chas... Two shots later and it was gone. I had taken a small amount of damage from the mines but I was now in an excellent position to chase down the Avatar...<br />

A very entertaining game, for once the mines didn't hamper me too much and my target selection was better than it usually is. So a second win, 130-64.<br />
<br />
Onto the last game, versus a Galaxy Class fleet supported by Hayes... the Enterprise-D, the Mirror Enterprise-D and the Venture, with the Raven in support (Kelly looking amused in this photo!):<br />

The fleets approach each other at a slow and steady pace, this was going to be a bloodbath, Hayes on one ship, Holo-Projector on another, and the Galaxy-wing talent...<br />

So... it went a little bit like this... two of the Vor'cha's targeted the Mirror-D eliminating it before it could fire. The Muratas and the remaining Vor'cha eliminated the Venture, but not before it and the Enterprise-D managed to destroy the Muratas and cause a significant amount of damage to Dukat's Vor'cha, it ended up looking like this:<br />

<br />
The Enterprise-D jumped over the Vor'cha's but the Raven performed a come-about manouver, needless to say it did not survive the combined attacks from the Klingons:<br />

All the while this was happening the Tholian web was closing in, I would have to play this carefully:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Picard's Vor'cha managed to get a shot in at the extreme edges of range three, knocking a shield off the Enterprise-D:<br />

Picard started to close in on the Enterprise, taking off the remaining shields and causing one damage to the hull:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The Enterprise reverses, giving it a free shot, which does little damage:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Finally, Picard gets the Enterprise Target Locked and with a Battlestations token at range one, a dice roll later and the Enterprise falls:<br />

So, the final battle of the day, 130-32 and a final win.<br />
<br />
Overall, 1st place with 3 wins on the day, two complete wipe-outs and three very hard fought games. The dice quality coming from Picard and Dukat was exceptional. In conjunction with the Muratas drawing fire in each of the games this list worked out very well. Karr was just icing on the cake.<br />

Thanks for having a look, next up Imperials!The idhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12631905701262388976noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3475681295658486897.post-15861919593260246502017-06-18T14:49:00.000-07:002017-06-18T14:50:21.887-07:00Space is not a safe place...A rarity - an X-Wing battle report!<br />
<br />
Small local tournament, nothing major and with my usual no hope of actually winning anything (because it's X-Wing, not Attack Wing) I went along... to have "Fun". I know... strange...<br />
<br />
So, without further ado, the list I chose to run on the day:<br />
<br />
Norra Wexley (41) :<br />
ARC-170 (29), R2-D2 (4), Push the Limit (3), Kyle Katarn (3), Alliance Overhaul (0), Vectored Thrusters (2) <br />
<br />
Ten Numb (41) :<br />
B-Wing (31), “Mangler” Cannon (4), Seismic Torpedo (2), Veteran Instincts (1), B-Wing/E2 (1), Jan Ors (2) <br />
<br />
Green Squadron Pilot (18) :<br />
A-Wing (19), A-Wing Test Pilot (0), Chardaan Refit (-2), Crack Shot (1), Adaptability (0)<br />
<br />
The idea is for Norra to get stressed each turn, then using Kyle's ability in conjunction with Jan to get an Evade, Focus and possible Target Lock each turn.<br />
<br />
Ten was there to deal with any unshielded Imperial/Scum fighters (auto-crits with the Mangler Cannon) so was hoping to see Fenn Rau on the board tonight...<br />
<br />
The A-Wing is there just to run around getting in everybody's way, hopefully blocking a bit to cause the opponent to lose some actions!<br />
<br />
So, onto the first game of the day, versus Imperials, a Defender, Pure Sabacc and Quickdraw:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLBQ7pyTW61SLwGavQj8-yt8kjCp5903fhqMUIhdJfnuLBTSIYfggnRVYHsNU2mVo8RtNuuDPw0NfFcQDRCcU658AAo4shFbP6OUF-wE4eyjiZvvMLio9b5Sa7QR110Xna0HtGWpRAAlY/s1600/IMG_0544.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="966" data-original-width="1288" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLBQ7pyTW61SLwGavQj8-yt8kjCp5903fhqMUIhdJfnuLBTSIYfggnRVYHsNU2mVo8RtNuuDPw0NfFcQDRCcU658AAo4shFbP6OUF-wE4eyjiZvvMLio9b5Sa7QR110Xna0HtGWpRAAlY/s320/IMG_0544.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
After a few turns of flying around aimlessly, the A-Wing took a hit from the Defender and decided to run away, heading for Pure Sabacc. Norra eventually ended up surrounded in the middle of the Asteroids:<br />

Norra and the A-Wing fell to concentrated fire from Quickdraw and the Defender, Ten managed to take the Defender down to 2 hull points left. Unfortunately this left me in a bit of a bad situation, so I decided to get a bit of distance and try to make a run for it...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The last round of the game ended up looking like this:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Ten couldn't quite finish off the Defender and in return fire just fell apart...<br />
<br />
So game one - a loss 100-0.<br />
<br />
Onto the next game vs Scum, Dengar and two Y-Wings with TLT's...<br />
<br />
Not an awful start to the game, I kept the majority of my ships well
away from the Y's to start with - those TLT's worried me so I was
playing it carefully. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0YhWDau3sokmPa7FQQZjGaUleroiraiop98ZbyUePz5xHiV5vQp7iqBnVlvmiSgzrC0E3_e3s6poialBUmm9iTpnysiq0omEFFWgk_8E-HROFB4nNp1Nd2GA7JNjFXIipjdrJG1mVHME/s1600/IMG_0549.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="966" data-original-width="1288" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0YhWDau3sokmPa7FQQZjGaUleroiraiop98ZbyUePz5xHiV5vQp7iqBnVlvmiSgzrC0E3_e3s6poialBUmm9iTpnysiq0omEFFWgk_8E-HROFB4nNp1Nd2GA7JNjFXIipjdrJG1mVHME/s320/IMG_0549.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
After the squadrons closed, Ten and Norra managed to give the Y's a bit
of a hammering but not enough to finish either one, the A-Wing also did
its fair share of damage to one of the Y's but again, not enough.<br />
<br />
Dengar and TLT's finished off Ten which left the field of play looking a little like this: <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRsqsAHp2YozTCTJ0rIYuqSH-w4DDqcWDNDqw6F8sf77IiMoQn3Mklg9u02lTUBhTYhGuSV5wjHPyJ8-6kLBoF-alVITI0zReZpfwb9aJdMbFXcheRoCDW1Fq6GPkN9_or1a2yCNMAHlA/s1600/IMG_0550.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="966" data-original-width="1288" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRsqsAHp2YozTCTJ0rIYuqSH-w4DDqcWDNDqw6F8sf77IiMoQn3Mklg9u02lTUBhTYhGuSV5wjHPyJ8-6kLBoF-alVITI0zReZpfwb9aJdMbFXcheRoCDW1Fq6GPkN9_or1a2yCNMAHlA/s320/IMG_0550.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
The A-Wing managed to block Dengar and survive two full attacks from the combined TLT's but couldn't last another round:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0zbTvBjBbF71GUFLcA_fPo6hNVT54z2ZeK1oSDCXseXGSogdMqkiKmFWF8hsE8YRDyYxBusHTvNnt8ocKoiI_wQGdSPRHVrowQVgQc3PNxplDCHubC5wkw59IgA_68WkmqyK7BYmcUzY/s1600/IMG_0551.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="966" data-original-width="1288" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0zbTvBjBbF71GUFLcA_fPo6hNVT54z2ZeK1oSDCXseXGSogdMqkiKmFWF8hsE8YRDyYxBusHTvNnt8ocKoiI_wQGdSPRHVrowQVgQc3PNxplDCHubC5wkw59IgA_68WkmqyK7BYmcUzY/s320/IMG_0551.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
All that was left now was for Dengar to hunt down Norra to finish the game, and what a roll:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So, another loss, 100-0... I did last longer than expected though and by this point I was quietly thinking that Ten was a mistake...<br />
<br />
Last game of the day, versus Imperials again, this time two Defenders with Ion Cannons and the title, and a shuttle with a tractor beam... <br />

Didn't take as many photos of this one but it played out in much the same way as the others, Ten fell to combined firepower from the Defenders but first having used the Seismic Torpedos to knock a shield off the Shuttle and one of the Defenders.<br />
<br />
Norra ended up in an awful position, thrown on top of a rock and then essentially held there for three turns, being ripped apart by everything and multiple hits from the Asteroid...<br />
<br />
The A-Wing managed to get no hits on its last attack before being mauled by the Defenders: <br />

So, a final loss, 100-0!<br />
<br />
Nicely upheld my completely beaten record in X-Wing, I think I'm now 2-9 overall.<br />
<br />
I still really enjoyed the day, everyone was in good spirits and a friendly atmosphere...<br />
<br />
This is the position Norra ended up in, sums the day up but hey-ho!:<br />

Finally here are a couple of shots form the other last two games being played at the same time, firstly a win for the Rebels over the Imperials (for third place):<br />

The top two, Rebels and the Scum - eventually it came down to the last attack of the game, Norra vs Dengar... Norra rolled blanks, Dengar didn't... a win for the Scum!<br />

So, another good day, another set of entertaining games and more lessons learnt - no more B-Wings for me!<br />
<br />
The ARC-170's though... I may have to get me another on of those... very impressed...<br />
<br />
Anyway, thanks for having a look and hope you enjoyed my quick little write-up!The idhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12631905701262388976noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3475681295658486897.post-68994232112764719582017-05-27T09:07:00.001-07:002017-05-27T09:08:35.473-07:00Send word to the fleet...A quick change of course today, shots of the assorted fleets - it's so rare to see them deployed at full force I thought I'd take a couple of photos to see how they look...<br />
<br />
First up, the Federation fleet:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I'm not a massive Federation player, but arrayed like this they do look quite impressive: <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Next up, the Romulans - still some of the most impressive ships in the Star Trek universe in my opinion: <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
There we go... I know a lot of people will have see the majority of these ships whilst playing against people in various events, but how often do you see them all at once?<br />
<br />

The Klingon Civil War grand prize, Sela's Warbird is a prize that's already drawn an errata from Wizkids, greatly reducing the effectiveness of the incuded elite talent - some people will say that it was needed, others that it was just another part of the game that needed to be worked around, like fighters or Romulan cloaked mines. Anyway, we'll get to that shortly...<br />
<br />
So, the ship itself - very nice paintjob on this one, the subtle difference in the shades really make it stand out: <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Admiral Sela, +1 captain skill and an effect that prevents the use of battlestations and scan tokens when her ship (or the ship using the action) is attacked. This is an excellent ability, as it negates the one thing you can use to get quality attack dice against Romulan ships - battlestations.<br />
<br />
She doesn't have an elite talent slot however, so I'm thinking that the captain version of her would be better, with mybe Mendak acting as Admiral.<br />

Movar is the other captain and he allows you to change any slot on your ship for one of another type. Not add, just amend. He'll have a use somewhere, just not sure where yet...<br />

Sela's Warbird itself is a very nice ship, its ability allows you to perform a double sensor echo at the cost of flipping over your cloak token. This gives you an excellent trick up your sleeve to get out of any tricky situation. Combine it with someone like Thei who gives you a free cloak action and you could land up in a completely different area of the board after two turns.<br />

The first elite talent, Klingon-Romulan alliance allows you to re-roll defence dice as a discard. There are better uses for 4 points.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here we go, Reverse Course. As written, you can ignore whatever manouver is on your dial and perform a 1 or 2 reverse manouver. That's it. No discard, no auxiliary token, nothing. Put this on a ship with B'etor from the Toral and any ship in your fleet can do this. It was awesome. It was so effective at the UK Nationals that Wizkids have already amended it, it's now a discard... so a worse version of Full Reverse, even paying for the cross faction penalty. Ah well...<br />

Tokath is a nice 2 point discard that enables 2 other upgrades. Always useful if you have the spare points.<br />

Toral!<br />
<br />

<br />
Named for the son of Duras, the Toral was the Klingon bird-of-prey used by Lursa and B'etor to destroy the Enterprise-D at Veridian III, so without further ado, here is the review:<br />
<br />
First up, B'etor:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The ability to allow other ships in range 1-2 to use your elite talent upgrade is huge, the options this opens up are awesome.<br />
<br />
Next up, Lursa:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Cloak or sensor echo as a free action? Yes please!<br />
<br />
As an added bonus, you can use either Lursa or B'etor as a crew if the other is the captain, whilst also boosting the captain skill by +4... Together they are truly excellent.<br />
<br />
The named ship, the I.K.S. Toral:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The ability to add an extra 2 defence dice when uncloaked is always nice, very situational but quite useful.<br />
<br />
The first of the unique talents, enemy of the empire is a 5 point disable or discard depending on what you are firing at... for what it is, I think 5 points is a bit much. Only works well against Klingon faction cards so the chances of you actually being able to use it more than once is not guaranteed.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Next up is interrogation:<br />

Even though it's a 5 point discard, the +3 attack dice can come in handy. Most of the ships flown in my usual gaming group have at least 2 upgrades on them so I'll always gain the benefit of the +3 so, I'd be happy to use it...<br />
<br />
Kulge... hmm... disable your captain to gain the option to have a battlestations action on your action bar... no.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Aft Shields can negate 2 damage if the attacker is out of your front arc - I quite like this, costed well and you can cancel critical hits with it before normal hits... well worth it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA16ftsTSORx6328hJoxaud9ruKTefbloG9cnfN2jhfJb9sBzix6_D3GyNsJMUNAlQWlonAYg4EU5jim4cRGxccINdD0BNHmyB23z2fAOvy5DsbdYfSQGZz9jK5vV3UmUsGahKQtvbgDk/s1600/IMG_0496.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="966" data-original-width="1288" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA16ftsTSORx6328hJoxaud9ruKTefbloG9cnfN2jhfJb9sBzix6_D3GyNsJMUNAlQWlonAYg4EU5jim4cRGxccINdD0BNHmyB23z2fAOvy5DsbdYfSQGZz9jK5vV3UmUsGahKQtvbgDk/s320/IMG_0496.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
Last up, the standard B'rel class, although this one has 2 crew slots and 1 weapon slot, so a bit better than the usual tech, crew, weapon you usually get:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgloheX6s4Eo9CQIgeS_GJqwi6BBgVSe8wjF9JHipjZeQUjuG2td-S0MHTk_SEqpw7JEXwDTAcJwI_HOBQrAynF2lk5HzAnvNht6lJD1eFCwhdPwJqbwKFIy6f7kyost78omhvw33OJZVw/s1600/IMG_0497.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="966" data-original-width="1288" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgloheX6s4Eo9CQIgeS_GJqwi6BBgVSe8wjF9JHipjZeQUjuG2td-S0MHTk_SEqpw7JEXwDTAcJwI_HOBQrAynF2lk5HzAnvNht6lJD1eFCwhdPwJqbwKFIy6f7kyost78omhvw33OJZVw/s320/IMG_0497.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
So to sum it up, Lursa and B'etor are awesome, Interrogation, Aft Shields and the Toral itself are good, the rest not so much.<br />

<br />
OP3, the final OP in the Klingon Civil War series sees the Romulans trying to sneak past the blockade sent to stop them...<br />
<br />
I have to admit, I mis-read the rules for the event and it cost me... due to unforseen circumstances, only two participants were able to attend so this was a very quick OP and we were both guaranteed to walk away with the prize ship and the grand prize - so a plus before we started!<br />
<br />
Anyway, onto the quick write-up...<br />

Reman Starship (Reman Warbird) [36]<br />
- Toreth 7 (Captain) [4]<br />
- THEI [1]<br />
Ship Total: 41 SP<br />
<br />
U.S.S. Voyager [30]<br />
- Jean-Luc Picard 8 (Captain) [5]<br />
- - William T. Riker [3]<br />
- Cloaked Mines [4]<br />
- Hikaru Sulu [3]<br />
- Amat'Igan [4]<br />
Ship Total: 49 SP<br />
<br />
Federation Starship (Intrepid Class) [28]<br />
- Chakotay 6 (Captain) [5]<br />
- - Pavel Chekov [3]<br />
- Matt Decker (Admiral) [1]<br />
- Cloaked Mines [4]<br />
- Dorsal Phaser Array [5]<br />
Ship Total: 46 SP<br />
<br />
Fleet Total: 136 SP<br />
<br />
The idea here was, depending on the oposing force, to either use Chakotay to get close enough on turn one to start attacking or to drop off the mines at the start of turn two and then cause a bit of chaos.<br />
<br />
So, onto round one, firstly basic setup: <br />

The next few rounds saw the Romulan fleet point farming by hopping about doing the weird sensor echo manouver...<br />

It was one of those games that seemed to go on with nothing really happening, the odd shot landed but not doing enough damage to kill anything, on either side...<br />

Even with Voyager at point blank range, nothing was getting through on either side - Voyager with 7 defence dice and auto conversions of battlestations is an exceptionally defensive ship, unfortunately it can't hit anything... In hindsight I should have found the extra point to put Picard 9 on Voyager instead of Picard 8. The extra defence die was handy, but the auto-critical result did very little.<br />

Eventually time was called and I managed to lose purely based on the OP rules, 27-80.<br />
<br />
So, just for fun, we carried on the game just to see what would happen!<br />

Voyager and the Intrepid circled in, while my Warbird went toe-to-toe with the Valdore:<br />

I was now starting to use Admiral Decker to start dishing out hull damage to the opposing fleet:<br />

At this point we called the game over, Chakotay and the Voyager would have just run circles around the Scimitar taking a hull point per turn off with Decker until it went down.<br />
<br />
So, all in all, an interesting game, ultimately won by my opponent before we'd even placed our ships on the table - a really well thought out strategy that I couldn't have done much against in the time we had.<br />
<br />
Next up, reviews for the IKS Toral & Sela's Warbird!The idhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12631905701262388976noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3475681295658486897.post-13173599617204752692017-05-13T05:00:00.002-07:002017-05-13T10:22:00.069-07:00Outpost Raid!A quick report of a 3 player friendly game that was played after our last OP event, the aim of which was to raid a space station to recover as many mission tokens as possible before time ran out!<br />
<br />
To acquire a token your ships needed to be within range 1 of the station at the end of the activation phase... In other words, up close and personal.<br />
<br />
So the setup rules were quite simple - two ships of the same faction, one 20 points and one of 60 points, so a capital ship and one support vessel.<br />
<br />
Obviously, I had to use my Dominion ships, so the list I chose was as follows:<br />
<br />
2nd Division Cruiser [34]<br />
- Weyoun 7 (Captain) [5]<br />
- - Remata'Klan [3]<br />
- - Amat'Igan [2]<br />
- Gul Madred (Admiral) [5]<br />
- Shroud [1]<br />
- Phased Polaron Beam [5]<br />
- Ikat'Ika [5]<br />
Ship Total: 60 SP<br />
<br />
Dominion Starship (Jem'Hadar Attack Ship) [20]<br />
Ship Total: 20 SP<br />
<br />
Fleet Total: 80 SP<br />
<br />
I'd never used the named cruiser before as I'd never used the attack ship, so first time for both! Te cruise setup is essentially the one I use for OP events, with the additions of the phased polaron beam and Ikat'Ika...<br />
<br />
Anyway, here are the pictures and a quick run through of the game, Dominion, Federation and Romulan... who would stand and who would fall?<br />

This did give me a disadvantage on the mission token front, but at least I managed to get a decent shot in:<br />

Both of my ships had been hit hard, and the Prometheus having a 360 degree attack did not help matters! <br />

This turn and the following were quite brutal, I rammed the station with the Jem'Hadar Attack Ship (in true cinematic fashion) and proceeded to destroy my own ship and damage the station, my Battlecruiser was finished off by the combined fire of the Romulan attack fighters and the Prometheus... not before Madred managed to remove Benjamin Maxwell from the Prometheus though, how many lights do you see Captain?<br />

Time was called and the Romulans came away with the narrowest of victories, one mission token seperated them and the Federation fleet, although had the game gone on another few turns I have a feeling that the Prometheus may well have prevailed against the now damaged attack fighters...<br />
<br />
My Dominion fleet was outmanouvered and outgunned by both of the opposing fleets in this one, although the cinematic ramming of the station was quite entertaining. I was so tempted to destroy the station... maybe next time...<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoyed this brief report, thanks for having a look!The idhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12631905701262388976noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3475681295658486897.post-26599841583652778782017-05-11T15:29:00.000-07:002017-05-11T15:29:30.721-07:00Klingon Civil War OP2The Battle of Mempa - send in the reinforcements!<br />
<br />
One ship to start, with the possibility of bringing in additional ships each turn depending if you are in control of one of the four sectors on the map...<br />
<br />
So, without further ado, the list:<br />
<br />
Dominion Starship (Jem'Hadar Battleship) [34]<br />
- Khan Singh 8 (Captain) [6]<br />
- - Attack Pattern Shinzon Theta [5]<br />
- Additional Phaser Arrays [5]<br />
Ship Total: 50 SP<br />
<br />
Regent's Flagship [32]<br />
- Karr 8 (Captain) [6]<br />
- - Lure [6]<br />
- - Full Reverse [3]<br />
- Elim Garak [3]<br />
Ship Total: 50 SP<br />
<br />
Klingon Starship (Vor'cha Class) [26] -2 for Klingon [24]<br />
- Kurn 5 (Captain) [3]<br />
- Gowron (Admiral) [3]<br />
Ship Total: 30 SP<br />
<br />
Fleet Total: 130 SP<br />
<br />
I'll say it now - this is a very experimental list, wanted to try out a few things I'd not considered before and took a bit of a risk with the Battleship (I know it turns like a beached whale...). <br />
<br />
As there were only three players in attendance, I had a bye in the first round - before we started, we noticed a striking similarity between Mempa and Hoth... <br />

Lots of fast ships and odd little gimmicks meant the fleets were in range very quickly:<br />

The Klingon pure force eventually lost one Vor'cha and the Neghvar, with the mixed fleet losing only the K't'inga.<br />

So a 107-28 victory for the mixed fleet...<br />

Onto my first match of the day, vs the pure fleet...<br />

I started off by trying to lure one of the Vor'chas out of position and into perfect position for my Jem'hadar battleship to hammer it, unfortunately it just used one of its upgrades to nip off the board and well out of range!<br />

All ships then closed to point blank range and proceeded to hammer each other:<br />

The next turn saw both the Regent's flagship and my opponents remaining Vor'cha eliminated:<br />

Shortly afterwards, the game devolved into a cat and mouse chase:<br />

My battleship was now hopelessly out of position, it was down to the Vor'cha and the Neghvar:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The Neghvar managed to get an unanswerable range one shot on the Vor'cha but for once a good defensive roll kept me in the game:<br />

The same tactic as before failed spectacularly again, causing my battleship to take an unanswered shot:<br />

Again the Regent's flagship was toe-to-toe with a Neghvar...<br />

Both ships survived the first salvos, all reinforcements were brought onto the table and the fighting intensified:<br />

A second time today, the full reverse ability put the Regent's flagship in prime position, this proved to be an exceptional round of firing from both sides.<br />
<br />
Not only was the Neghvar destroyed by the Regent's flagship, the K't'inga was damaged as well. In return, the Regent's flagship was destroyed and finally the Prometheus fell.<br />

So begins the run around! Being chased by the Voyager and the K't'inga, I was in a precarious position:</div>

A very well placed sensor echo on the next turn could have gone either way, the Voyager fired first and had an excellent roll, luckily for me my defence dice thought I deserved a break:<br />

With only Voyager and the Vor'cha left, the last action of the game was an ineffectual attack by the Voyager:<br />

So, the last game was a loss, 125-101. An excellently fought game, and overall on the day my surprising ship of the day was the Vor'cha:<br />

It fought well, survived both games and eliminated more than its fair share of points on the day.<br />

<br />
Klingon ships gain a -2 points cost bonus for this OP event, and Gowron himself is free so we all expected to find many Klingon ships... We were not dissapointed!<br />
<br />

Round 2: Both fleets converge and I use Nanclus' ability to make his "Chang's Bird of Prey" (carrying his Gowron) to roll no defence dice this turn, in addition, he bumps one of his own ships with the Bird of Prey giving it no actions for the turn.<br />

After a brutal exchange of fire, the Bird of Prey is destroyed and each of the remaining ships on both sides take damage. The surviving ships from the first volley set their manouver dials ready for the next round:<br />

A few good calls puts the majority of my ships behind my opponents' fleet and one of his Vor'cha cruisers falls to concentrated fire. I take some hits in return from rear arc weapons on the K'Tinga's (maybe D7's... not entirely sure)...<br />

Another turn goes by and I'm starting to gain ground as my opponent runs out of game space. I manage to finish off one of the K'Tinga's this turn...<br />

I give up on chasing the last K'Tinga and turn in towards the Vor'cha. Using Troi's ability I disable the Captain, causing the ship to decloak - both of my Vor'cha's open fire and destroy their target:<br />

So, a 115-0 win and after a pretty successful game I was looking forward to the next game.<br />
<br />
The view from my force, a Negh'var, 2x Vor'cha's and a Bird of Prey:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLlns4wvQ6lOba4SUPT05_pp4wC76qK-SJHPFKIhbzgUjA8ToGri0NKwD_yT8NZSpC7bc_I7UD3nZ_S2ghsmjLo3O7UUALIQoLw6tcyP7O1eb7kEMo2iAW4zSSwFMG6CMo60BADNjzTIk/s1600/DSC00949.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLlns4wvQ6lOba4SUPT05_pp4wC76qK-SJHPFKIhbzgUjA8ToGri0NKwD_yT8NZSpC7bc_I7UD3nZ_S2ghsmjLo3O7UUALIQoLw6tcyP7O1eb7kEMo2iAW4zSSwFMG6CMo60BADNjzTIk/s320/DSC00949.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
This game was brutal. First round of firing and I made a few errors, notably using Nanclus to give the Negh'Var an extra attack dice but as my opponent moved after me he just reactivated Gowron... epic fail on my part. The Negh'Var and one of the Vor'cha's managed to kill my ship carrying Gowron. In return, I destroyed the Negh'Var... we each lost a Vor'cha and ended up with only two ships each remaining...<br />

This was now a very tight game. In hindsight, I made an epic mistake here.<br />

As you can see, my opponent chose wisely. I did not. My Vor'cha took a hammering this turn, and I only managed to damage the Bird of Prey, not quite enough to destroy it...<br />

I corrected my mistake from earlier but by now I was in a precarious position, my Hideki's had taken a bit of a bettering and I was unable to finish off any of my opponent's ships. I lost my last Vor'cha and I was now clearly on the ropes...<br />

A loss 140-110 but a fantastic game, one of the closest I've had and literally down to the last roll of the dice!<br />
<br />
Last game of the day was against a mixed fleet carrying a million and four mines! I hate mines. Really hate mines...<br />

In fairness, the Somraw had done its job by this point and I was staring cloaked mines and nuclear mines in the face but I had some small satisfaction of eliminating it:<br />

All in all I made a few basic errors early on and it doomed me from the moment the first mine token went down. A loss, 140-33.<br />
<br />
Overall, 4th place and a very hard-fought series of games. Thoroughly enjoyed the day and yet again, an excellent set of opponents.<br />
<br />
Until next time fellow gamers!The idhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12631905701262388976noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3475681295658486897.post-55285336854680555102017-01-14T14:24:00.000-08:002017-01-14T14:25:56.470-08:00Empire vs Rebels - Try-outs!A slight change of pace today - an X-Wing game!<br />
<br />
With the X-Wing season coming up and the Star Trek one coming to a possible end, I thought I'd give a couple of lists a run through.<br />
<br />
List 1: Imperial:<br />
<br />
<br />
Black Squadron Pilot + Push the limit<br />
Black Squadron Pilot + Push the limit<br />
Black Squadron Pilot + Push the limit<br />
"Duchess" + Swarm Leader, Adaptive Ailerons, Lightweight Frame<br />
"Zeta Ace" + Push the limit<br />
<br />
The aim here is to keep the Black Squadron Pilots in close to the opposing force, using Zeta Ace to jump around a bit and Duchess to cause havoc on the flanks. If taken at the right time, Push the limit can be used to buff not only the TIE's offensive power with focus tokens but also evade tokens to buff Duchess with Swarm Leader.<br />
<br />
List 2: Rebel:<br />
<br />
Blue Squadron Pilot + Fire-control system, Mangler cannon, Proton Torpedos x2<br />
Blue Squadron Pilot + Fire-control system, Mangler cannon, Proton Torpedos x2<br />
Garven Dreis + R5-K6, Integrated Astromech<br />
<br />
Wanted to try out a torpedo based list, in theory Dreis could pass off his focus token to one of the B-Wings each turn to give them a highly effective torpedo attack - purely a just for fun list this one.<br />
<br />
Anyway, onto the play-through!<br />
<br />
A quick shot of the two forces:<br />

Duchess begins the attack by using Swarm Leader and attacking "Blue 7", dealing 3 damage.<br />
Zeta and Dreis both fail to cause any damage on their attacks, but TIE-31 scores 2 hits on Dreis at point blank range.<br />
TIE-33 manages to score a critical hit on the now unshielded Dreis causing "Structural Damage".<br />
"Blue 7" is unable to find its mark when attacking TIE-31, but "Blue 8" causes critical damage on TIE-33, destroying it.<br />

Doing just enough damage to finish off Dreis, leaving the Blue Squadron members all alone. TIE-31 manages to knock off a single shield from "Blue 8". With no other ships in arc, the round was over.<br />

Zeta and TIE-31 both manage to score hits on "Blue 8", taking off two shields in total. "Blue 8" manages to get off a Proton Torpedo shot against TIE-31, unfortunately TIE-31 rolls an exceptional set of defence dice:<br />

5 hits on "Blue 7" is enough to finish it off, then Zeta manages to knock a single shield off "Blue 8". "Blue 8" returns fire on Zeta but is unable to score a hit.<br />

TIE-31 scores 2 hits on "Blue 8" eliminating the remaining shield and causing 1 hull damage. TIE-53 attacks at point blank range, scoring 3 hits and destroying the last member of the Rebel force.<br />
<br />
So, an interesting game. The TIE-Striker's Ailerons and high skill allowed it to stay out of arc for the majority of the game, and the only time it got caught in arc it managed to eliminate the B-Wing before it could fire. <br />
<br />
The B-Wings' Proton Torpedo and Mangler Cannon upgrades were completely ineffective, admittedly through an excellent defence roll by one of the TIE's but as soon as they closed into attack range the TIE's just stayed too close to them to be able to get to the correct range. In retrospect the points could have been better spent elsewhere, maybe on another X-Wing instead.<br />

<br />
Hello again!<br />
<br />
Here is my quick report for our recent OP event: The Search for Spock!<br />
<br />
I'll say in advance that so far, the movie based OP events have been the most thematic and well thought through events that I've attended.<br />
<br />
In this event, you build a standard 130 point fleet and add an away team booster of no more than 24 points (6 crew members).<br />
<br />
They start the game on the Genesis planet and must not only fight to survive the opposing force but also the planet itself! In addition, deployment for this one is slightly different - one ship starts within range one of the planet and the others deploy as usual. You can use an action to lower your shields to beam aboard one crew member provided you are within range 1-2. If you are within range 1 during the end phase you may take damage, in addition your crew members left on the surface may be killed by the planet! You can also give up your attack to allow your away team to attack the opposing one.<br />
<br />
So, only two attendees at this event (very close to Christmas so to be fair, understandable). This did give us the opportunity to try it out a couple of times though...<br />
<br />
So, onto the fleet for this OP:<br />
<br />
4th Division Battleship [36]<br />
- Gul Dukat 8 (Captain) [5]<br />
- Aft Weapons Array [4]<br />
Ship Total: 45 SP<br />
<br />
Dominion Starship (Jem'Hadar Battle Cruiser) [32]<br />
- Weyoun 8 (Captain) [5]<br />
- Gul Madred (Admiral) [5]<br />
- Additional Phaser Arrays [6]<br />
- Corak [2]<br />
Ship Total: 50 SP<br />
<br />
1st Wave Attack Fighters [24]<br />
- Support Ship [4]<br />
- Galor Class Phaser Banks [7]<br />
Ship Total: 35 SP<br />
<br />
Fleet Total: 130 SP<br />
<br />
Ezri Tigan - 4<br />
Deanna Troi - 3<br />
Nanclus - 5<br />
Remata'Klan - 4<br />
Montgomery Scott - 5<br />
Miles O'Brien - 2<br />
<br />
23 SP<br />
<br />
Back to the Dominion for this one. The combination of the Battleship handing off the action to the Cruiser just makes it such an effective combination I keep coming back to this type of build. I did want to try and avoid the "Alpha Strike" build I usually go for so did not take my Flanking Attack for my attack fighters this time - opting to use the Galor Class Phaser Banks to give them the extended range.<br />
<br />
The away team booster I wanted to cover a range of options to account for any type of opposing force - cloaking nullifiers through to tech stealers etc.<br />
<br />
A quick shot of the two fleets:<br />

I forgot to take a photo for the first few turns but essentially I picked up Remata'Klan with the Cruiser and flew the Battleship and 1st Wave straight at the Federation forces.<br />
<br />
The Battleship and Cruiser teamed up to eliminate the Prometheus which reduced the effectiveness of the Equinox as Martok was no longer there to pass an action over. Shortly afterwards, my positioning of my attack fighters caused the Voyager to lose its actions putting it in a very precarious position:<br />

A well fought game, won 155-55.<br />
<br />
After perusing my opponents list, we amended it and dropped both the Voyager and Equinox adding in the Scimitar and the Defiant... Another run through was in order. I started in the same position and as this was a play-test did exactly the same manouvers on the first turn.<br />
<br />
The Scimitar did a 4 come about manouver and dropped Anti-matter mines on the Battleship, not doing a lot of damage but stopping my Cruiser from completing the swing-around that I had managed to complete in the previous game:<br />

The Scimitar received an absolute hammering from the Battleship and 1st Wave but took enough of the focus away from the Prometheus and Defiant to allow them to have an unimpeded run at the Cruiser. Weyoun 8's ability stopped the Prometheus from firing at it this turn, but after an unfortunate bump into my own fighters the following turn, the Dorsal Phaser Array from the Prometheus finished it off whilst the 1st Wave eliminated the Scimitar.</div>

The Battleship, now on 6 hull remaining began the long circle around Genesis, waiting for its date with destiny - Prometheus...<br />
<br />
Prometheus fired first, taking the Battleship down to 3 hull left, not enough. Dukat finished off Martok with a precise attack:<br />

Another win, 130-65. Much closer and if the Scimitar had not bothered with the mine attack early in the game I think it would have gone the other way.<br />
<br />
In any regards, a good OP - far more thematic than the Corbomite Manouver. I like the booster idea and the planet effecting gameplay as it did was very interesting.<br />
<br />
Kruge and his Bird-of-Prey was the prize for the OP, which both players went home with - review coming soon!<br />
<br />

<br />
This was a game conceived to fill in the void between OP events as a change of pace - two players on either side, co-operating to achieve a set of objectives. For the Borg team, the aim was to get as many ships off the far side of the board as possible whilst the combined Romulan/Federation fleet had to destroy or prevent this from happening.<br />
<br />
The allied fleet would gain victory points from each Borg ship destoyed, whilst the Borg would gain a point for each ship leaving the area.<br />
<br />
A view of the fleets:<br />

I would be controlling the Assimilated Vessel portion of the Borg fleet (as I've never used them before the standard Borg movement scheme would have fried my brain).<br />

The allied fleet had a lot of cards that were used to buff each other, such as Hayes, Donatra and Holo-Communicator. This led to the allied fleet deploying in the formation above - this would be a bloody battle. As you can see from the photo - I placed my three ships in a position to flank the opposing force whilst they contended with the cubes in the middle of the area, then hopefully be able to make a break for it when the time came.<br />

The allied fleet poured hit after hit into the cubes, eliminating Locutus' Cube and reducing the second one to a single hull point. The Queen's Diamond received a hammering but continued to stay in the fight. In return the Cubes had inflicted heavy damage on the front line ships and eliminated the Scimitar.<br />
<br />
The Assimilation Target Prime was left unscathed and managed to drop Mutli-Kinetic Mines on top of three of the allied fleet ships.<br />

An enjoyable game finished, the effectiveness of the mines was astonishing. Dropping the template on the three ships setting it off three times was soul-destroying. Until that point the allied fleet was making short work of the Borg and if not for that one card the game would have had a very different ending. As it was, the Federation player killed the most Borg ships, taking the moral victory.<br />

<br />
Just a quick update today, unfortunately no photos for this one as I foolishly forgot to charge the camera!<br />
<br />
On the actual scenario itself - whoever came up with this one clearly wasn't thinking straight. Turn one of each game, every ship moves into range of the object and proceeds to throw everything they have at it, destroying it on the first turn. This means that none of its effects take place, turning the event into a normal every day joust. Disappointing effort.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the fleet for the day was as follows:<br />
<br />
Soong [38]<br />
- Karr 8 (Captain) [5]<br />
Ship Total: 43 SP<br />
<br />
Regent's Flagship [32]<br />
- Khan Singh 8 (Captain) [6]<br />
- - I Stab at Thee [3]<br />
- Elim Garak [3]<br />
Ship Total: 44 SP<br />
<br />
U.S.S. Voyager [30]<br />
- Robert DeSoto 4 (Captain) [3]<br />
- William T. Riker [3]<br />
- Hikaru Sulu [3]<br />
- Tom Paris [4]<br />
Ship Total: 43 SP<br />
<br />
Fleet Total: 130 SP<br />
<br />
Round 1 vs Federation:<br />
<br />
As stated above, all ships moved into the range of the object and destoyed it on turn one. The rest of the match devolved into a bit of a duck hunt, my opponent's ships falling one after the other... End result - 130-0, a win for the mixed fleet.<br />
<br />
Round 2 vs Romulan:<br />
<br />
The Scimitar with an Interphase Generator, the Valdore and the Prototype loaded up with cloaked mines. Interesting game. Started off well enough with the Valdore going up against the Soong one-on-one and realising that it was not a good move. The Soong tore it apart without too much trouble. The Regent's Flagship had a hammering from the Scimitar and the Prototype - the following turn mines were placed and I was hoping that the Scimitar would stick close to the Regent's Flagship so, with only one hull point, left I flew it straight onto the cloaked mines - unfortunately it was out of range so Khan did not avenge himself on this occasion. The Scimitar and the Soong ended up at point blank range and exchanged fire, the prototype had engaged my defensive Voyager build (futility at its finest).<br />
<br />
Shorly after, the Scimitar managed to outmanouver the Soong and destroyed it, the Prototype dumped its second Cloaked Mines and was then blown apart by Voyager.<br />
<br />
Now we were down to two sets of Cloaked Mines and the Scimitar vs the Voyager. Fire was exchanged, and the Voyager managed to deal three damage to the Scimitars' hull whilst losing a shield in return. My opponent retreated from combat and hid amongst the mines - refusing to go one-to-one with Voyager. A turn or two later I managed to get the Voyager lined up for a single pass on the Scimitar - only one damage dealt, none in return. Unfortunately for me, too little too late - time was call and the game lost - 87-80; another few turns and I'm more than confident to say that the Scimitar would have died.<br />
<br />
Round 3 - bye.<br />
<br />
Romulan vs Federation:<br />
<br />
Another mine heavy game for the Romulans, the Federation fleet did not fare too well here. 130-0 final score.<br />
<br />
A strange OP, closer games than the scores show and overall quite a non-event made for a very weird day...<br />
<br />
On the plus side, everyone ended up with the prize for the day, the Romulan Bird-of-Prey Rateg.<br />
<br />
A review of that will be incoming soon!<br />
