SWR Blog Catch-up

We closed out  January with a game of Primodial Soup, which Kent, being experienced, easily won.

The we tried Robo Rally and again, the experienced Wood cleaned our clocks. 

Then back on February 7, Ric as Peetza da Hutt easily cruised to victory while Kent and I beat our legions against one another.  Note to self:  never turn your back on a Hutt. 

Last week (Feb. 14) I was lucky enough to draw the Hutt faction.  Kent turned up as the Rebels and Darth Ric lead the Imperial side.  On my third turn (2-2/3 turns into the game), a faction card straight and a fleet of bomber + capitol ship led to a stunningly quick victory.  Luckily, we had plenty of good single malts to finish up the evening. 

Then this week (Feb. 21), Ric resumed his role as Peetza da Hutt.  Sure enough, Kent turned on the Rebel Leader Horak, ignored the swelling Hutt forces, and again in record-tying time the Hutts won. 

Even so, there were some hysterical moments:

• The destruction of Sluis Van with its garrison of seven Hutts, "Suddenly seven voices cried out and were suddenly silenced."
• The desperate defense dice roll that spun and spun and spun and spun and... "Hey, Ric, it's still spinning" and spun and came up... six.  
• And several other truly amazing things that kept us laughing all night long. 

Best of all, though, over these past few weeks have been the birthday goodies:  the framed photos of last year's fire extinguisher extravaganza and the diorama/display of Capt. Henry Horak's photo, dog tags, and 384th emblem along side a realistic Grafton-Underwood landscape and a miniture Henry figurine.
