On our previous engagement (the one prior to my last post), DS was keen to field his other new toy...
...so out came his Gozanti-class Cruiser. Specifically, the good ship Vector.
- It looked awesome,
- We played the three-game escalating mini-campaign which came with the ship,
- I lost each game,
- The first through bad luck,
- The second through terrible manoeuvring and,
- The third because - as usual - I ignored the mission in order to do something more fun (viz. blowing up the Vector with a vengeful Y-Wing),
DS flew as well as ever, and brilliantly (due to the requirements of the third mission) we actually got to experience - in true Original Trilogy style - a flight of TIE Bombers systematically bombing asteroids.

Just beautifully cinematic!
- Drax.
PS: I played a swift game of Bolt Action tonight, so that'll be up soon...
Nice work drax! I'm really loving X-wing at the moment. Haven't played against the gozanti thou. I like that it can launch little ships :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, mate. It really is super-super characterful...and - of course - it looks appropriately brutally beautiful.
DeleteI do like the Gozanti - such a cool looking ship. Might get one in a sale some time just for the model. Sometime.
ReplyDeleteDo like to see classic games like you've described. One thing that's had me avoid trying to find pick-up games at my LGS is the silly OP K-Wing-type or invisible TIE nonsense that stretches my Star Wars fandom too far.
Bolt Action you say? :)
Oh, you're very much on our wavelength then, mate. You would've absolutely loved the moment where the bombers were targeting the 'roids - just soooo cinematic!
DeleteCheers!
