Bounty Hunters Bonanza!

 

After a couple of Bigger Battles it was a nice change to do some Galactic Heroes scale game.

We had a 10 player game with each player in control of a gang of bounty hunters. Each had a specific bounty but no idea where they were. Luckily they each had a tracking fob (I had a map where each bounty was and used  a small arrow to indicate direction. When the miniature with the fob was close I indicated the building they were in).

Once a bounty was caught, they had 2 different places they could turn them in, to Greef Karga or Jabba the Hutt. Players didn't know what each bounty was worth til the end, so poaching other player's bounties started almost immediately.

When the dust settled, only 3 bounties had been turned in. Backstabbing and skullduggery meant most of the players were combat ineffective by the time the authorities showed up to see what all the noise was about.

If you want to see the whole game, head one over to our YouTube channel here.

Star Wars Bigger Battles!

This past Saturday, one member of our gaming group turned the big 5-0. Being the biggest Star Wars nerd there is, I felt it only appropriate we get most of the toys we've been working on over the lockdown for a huge 10 player game (we are all vaccinated).

 The Birthday Boy brought half his collection of 150 miniatures, (about a third Legion, two thirds stls from various sources), a dozen vehicles and I provided the terrain. Fifty units on the table. The result was a glorious battle!

Four hours later, the Empire stood triumphant. A series of brutal TIE strafing runs broke the Rebel assaults, but not without horrible losses. Oh well, there's always more stormtroopers.
