Well, the dice were with Mssr. Wood this past week. With a high roll
to start, he chose Hutts. Ric went with the E-Vile Empire, leaving
yours truly with the Rebels. In a daring variation, the set up left the
Hutts with 6 planets and the Rebels with much of the Mid Rim.
Out
of the gates, General Karl did quite well, capturing the El'Rood Sector
and setting the Empire back significantly. The Hutts gradually gained
strength and the Emperor's storm troopers were able to push the force
meter farther to the dark side with each turn.
The
turning point was when the Death Star destroyed the garrison at
Sullust. A turn later and a second system, Byss, was eliminated. With the
force meter pegged and the El'Rood bonus lost, it looked like a sure win
for the Storm Troopers.
But in Sith Laban's efforts
to claw his way back from the initial setbacks, he left the Hutt's too
strong. A lucky run and a faction card straight gave Kent the Hutt his
second victory and two thirds of a trifecta. But next week, he must win
as the Rebel faction... a desperate and forlorn hope.
