A Hutt Trifecta

Recall that Kent the Hutt slaughtered millions of innocents in his quest for power two weeks ago.

Last week Deputy Rebel Leader Wood took out the Death Star on Kessel that was blocking a Hutt breakout into the Mid Rim.  Bad Death Star movement die rolls had kept the Empire from exercising its power and destroying Sluis Van.  Trapped on Kessel, it still prevented the Hutts from gaining access to four critical resource planets. 

Sure enough, with the Death Star gone, the Hutts soon overran Kessel, Balmorra, Yavin 4, and thence on to Duro and Tattooine.  Game Hutts, their second in a row and a victory for Peetza da Hutt. 

This week, the Hutts collected faction cards until on the third turn they were able to use their lone capital ship plus the seven legions from a faction card straight to sweep to victory.  Valiant efforts by stormtroopers and Rebels were not enough to avoid the avalanche of Hutts who ran all the way to Tattooine.  The tenth resource planet was Dar Shaddar, but even it was finally overwhelmed. 

Victory Hutts, making this three in a row, each by one of us, for a Hutt Trifecta. 

A second game was vainly attempted, but powerful defensive cards by General Horak kept Kent the Hutt from winning.  Darth LaBan couldn't eliminate the Rebels, but he drew them down to four systems.  Time ran out and we called it a draw. 

Happy Turkey (or Salmon) Day!
