Seven Games Out of Date

Hoo-boy, it's been a crazy February-March.  And in amongst all the hubbub, I lost the bubble on routine SWR updates to this blog.  Now it's catch-up time.

Game #1.  The evening started with Kent and Ric discussing the fact that we very rarely have draws in SWR.  Then what happens... a stalemate.  Kent thought he had us on the run, and in fact my Hutts were pretty well out of the game, with the last star base (obviously the Emperor) holed up in the Wild Space.  He set up a huge Rebel force to attack into the Wild Space via Gamorr only to be completely blocked by a "Money is Power" card -- the orders never come.  Totally stalled while the Empire just kept pouring reinforcements into the Wild Space, Kent elected to call it a draw.

Game #2. A long time ago in a game far, far away, Kent was victorious as the Empire. 

Game #3.  Ric rebounded and used his Peetza da Hutt alter-ego to blast Rebels and Stormtroopers alike. 


Game #4. Darth Horak frustrates the Hutts and takes out the Rebellion. 

Game #5.  Ric once again is victorious as the Hutts. 


Game #6. Darth Wood takes advantage of Deputy Rebel Leader LaBan's abysmal dice rolls and chews up the free galaxy.  Karba the Hutt, nibbled to death by both Imperial and Rebel attacks, cannot slow the Empire. 

Game #7. DRL Ric attempts a comeback, but his dice are still a bit cold.  However, the Empire can't just run away with the game.  This time the Hutts claw their way up to the bonus zone and start pulling in faction cards.  Turning in three capital ships for six troops allowed the Hutts to make a final breakout and capture ten resource planets.
