First X Wing game

Played 4 games on Wednesday against Chris and won 3. I am therefore naturally biased and think it is a wonderful game. We didn't use the target lock rules, and we got the overlap rules wrong. On reading the rules again I realised we'd allowed overlapped fighters to target each other, which they can't. They can still fire, but not at the fighter they are touching. Take my winners bias  out of the equation and the game played well. It's a game of spatial awareness and guessing where you opponent will move to. As we only played basic games to get familiar with the rules, we didn't get in to the subtleties of building a force with weapon combinations and skills. I'm looking forward to my next game.

X wing

First game tonight against Chris a seasoned player. Cue music..

Writing after action reports

I had a great game with Guy last Saturday between Russians and French in 1812 recreating a scene from the retreat. I'm now writing it all up which is taking a lot longer than I thought as I'd hoped to have it published by now. I'll put my neck out and say it will be done by this weekend.
