How are the Mighty Fallen

How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished! (II Samuel 1:27)

Well, not quite...

In the evening's first game, Sith Wood made a major tactical blunder and left the Outer Rim in Rebel control. Generalissimo LaBan seized the moment and, with certain intelligence about the Emperor's whereabouts and ten legions of fresh troops, he struck out from Mon Calamari to Bpfassh. He quickly cut through the light garrisons there and at Dagobah before slaughtering the last holdouts at Hoth. Game Rebels.

I think that's five in a row for LaBan, three of them as Rebel Leader.

A second battle for galactic domination ensued immediately afterward. This time the mighty did indeed fall.

Empire and Hutts assaulted mercilessly, driving the Imperial Forces down to a last few planets. A bungled "final victory" sweep gave the Hutts one last chance but Tatooine was a planet too far. The Storm Troopers, in the end, eliminated every last Rebel troop.

Because Rebel Leader LaBan only won half of tonight's games, we are publishing only half of an embarrassing photograph.
