In August I ran my first in-person with the (fully vaccinated) Fawcett Avenue Conscripts in almost 18 months. I introduced the boys to Star Wars Legion. I had originally planned to start a narrative campaign, set during the Galactic Rebellion era, back in the spring of 2020. Then came the lockdown. Conscript Greg was back in town for a few days, so Dallas suggested that I run some Star Wars to celebrate.
A Rebel band led by Princess Leia was trying to destroy a pair of power generators, while the Imperials tried to repair them. Concentrating on their mission, the Rebels managed to destroy one generator as the Imperials shot at them unmercifully. The AT-ST caused the most casualties of any unit in the board.
This was a tactical tie, but a minor strategic victory for Leia.
For the next game, Luke Skywalker will be leading a strike team across the same city as this scenario, trying to hack a communications net. The loss of one generator will hamper the automated Imperial defenses those Rebels will be facing. Will Darth Vader appear to try and stop his wayward son? You betcha.
It was great to catch up with everyone. Thanks to Dallas for hosting and providing the generators. And,
Bonus, I got to show off the cool figures and terrain I have been collecting since the fall of 2019.
This was a lot of fun Dave - thanks so much for running that game. Your knowledge and understanding of the "Legion" rules was invaluable, and so was your patience as we fumbled through them!
ReplyDeleteThe AT-ST stomping around was a lot of fun...
Great looking game! I'd also like to thank everyone for relaxing the maximum height requirement so I could participate!
ReplyDeleteThat was a great game Dave - we were all thankful that you were there to patiently guide us through the Fantasy Flight rules...!
