These Dice are Trying to Kill Me

Leftover Lo Han Choi over jasmine rice set the stage for an evening battling for galactic domination. Somehow we settled into the typical roles: Major Ursa (Kent), Peetza da Hutt (Ric), and Darth Horak.

Game 1. Straight out of the starting blocks the Empire took heavy casualities and was never really a threat. Despite this, fortifications in the Wild Space were going to take a very long time to reduce. When the Rebels finally ground the Hutts down to a handful of planets, it was declared a Rebel victory. To everyone's surprise, the Emperor was not buried in the Wild Space but out in the El'Rood Sector with only a single garrison for protection.

Game 2. What a difference a setup makes. This time the Rebels were crippled from the beginning. With the Hutts constantly threatening victory, the Death Star stationed at Duro was a successful strategy. Eventually, the Storm Troopers were able to destroy a resource planet in the Mid Rim, hold back an invasion of the Wild Space, and lock in the Ison Corridor. Finally we called it a Hutt-Empire draw, but since I'm maintaining the blog, I'll file this post under "Imperial victory." :-))

Meanwhile, Joe from CA twittered this link for fans of Storm Troopers.
