Yet Another Battle for Galactic Domination

Despite record cold weather that has left much of the state without natural gas, the gang met for their weekly thrash.  The opening dice roll was delayed due to Donnie Glidewell's wake at Kelly's Pub, but that didn't stop our intrepid gamers.

Darth Horak, Kent the Hutt, and Deputy Rebel Leader LaBan ran out a near-record length game (8 turns).  The Emperor's starbase came up last, making it easy for the storm troopers to set up a strong defense.

Even so, the Rebels kept nibbling away at the E-vile Empire.  Faction cards pushed the force meter to the extreme light side, giving the Rebels a considerable bonus.  Even with the Hutts pushing hard for upwards of nine resource planets, the extra cards translated into extra troops and eventually, a Rebel win.
