The Birthday Boy Wins

Fortified with ham & Swiss quiche, we somehow managed to get past the birthday celebrations for Peetza da Hutt (Prof. Jules Amazing Telescopic Ring and a Tin Can Robot).  Sith Lord Kent came out swinging for the fences, but within a few rounds the Rebels had captured the Ison Corridor and the Hutts held on to the Wild Spaces. 

In a devilishly clever move, the Storm Troopers attempted to capture the weakly garrisoned Bespin via a faction card invasion from anywhere.  But the Rebels responded with a faction card of their own, adding four troops.  Bespin held fast and the Empire went back to licking its wounds.

Meanwhile, Ric began accumulating a Hutt fleet and doing real damage.  After the Death Star blew up Duro, the blockade between the Wild Space and the Elrood Sector was gone and the Hutts took full advantage of it.  Before the Death Star could return to protect Imperial outposts, the Hutts swept across the Mid Rim, the Outer Rim, and snatched victory. 

Happy Birthday, dear Hutt!
