Hello everyone, CJ Here with a review of the Hawk Wargames cityscape box set. This box has been out a while now, I havent had a chance to pick it up though until a couple weeks ago at Historicon here in Fredericksburg VA. While I had a great time at the con and it deserves it's own entry, I wanted to go over this product I picked up from BV Traders at the Con.

Good evening everyone. This is the "pre-flight" for my round six game tonight. Well... it kind of is. first i want to say that I highly respect the player I will be facing here in just a couple of hours. he has a strong list and he flies it well. I also know that I have to win to guarantee staying in the top 16 to make the cut, to prove that Dash and Poe aren't a "Tier 2" list. To prove that the meta isn't something defined by those around you but is instead defined by how well you can fly a list and how skilled you are at using it. X-Wing isn't chess, X-Wing is sword play. So, tonight wont have infographics and wont talk about how I plan on defeating my opponent. Wish me luck - CJ Hey everyone, so among my birthday goodies I have gotten a Battletech Alpha Strike Fire Lance box. I will be honest I have been on the fence about buying many of these because I really dont need a lot of the repeat 'Mechs in the boxes. I don't have a shogun yet though, and this is a pretty cool way to get one. So, lets look at what exactly comes in the box and see what kind of value you are getting for your money with the Alpha Strike Lance box mechs Hey everyone, so, I got my round 5 game in against Oiler for the Reddit X-Wing Tournament on Wednesday night. It was epic. I do have to say that of you have a chance to play him on Vassal take that chance. He is a great player and I had a very good time. Enough of me going on about how fun it was to play my opponent. Let's get down to brass tacks. Hey everyone, getting ready for round 5. This time I will be playing against an opponent from the great white north of Western Canada. This is, IIRC, ls also the first time I will be playing, or be scheduled to play against, an Imperial list. To be honest, this one scares me a little too. When you click on read more you will see my opponent's list below and mine under the text and I hope I cam impart as to why I am just a wee bit unnerved. Warning Klaxons sound, pilots and crew bustle across the flight deck prepping and boarding their fighters. Poe gives Dash a thumbs up from the cockpit as Dash boards the Outrider. The engines whine on the T-70 as Poe takes off, the Outrider following close behind. As they reach the co-ordinates they received for intercept Poe begins circling his T-70 in a wide arc around an obvious debris field, dash approaches the floating ship graveyard slowly, the Outrider's turret mounted Mangler Cannon swinging around to cover the ship as he flies through the debris of a recent battle against pirates operating in the area. Poe cues his mic "Anything in there?" Dash checks his sensors and sweeps what he can see visually "No Black One, Suggest we wait and see". Both ships take up station in the debris in low power mode, blending in with the ruined starships. Sitting there for almost an hour they wait and then..... Good evening everyone. I've never really done this, but, I feel the need to rebut another blog that is claiming the Jumpaster 5000 isn't broken. To me the claims of "the Jumpmaster isn't broken" and people simply exclaiming that you need to "fly better".Meanwhile a great number of X-Wing players from all levels have seen this ship in action, and have also seen it's warping effect on the game as a whole. This ship has dominated the competitive scene for longer than any other ship in the game ever has and is, quite frankly a detriment to the long term health of the game. So, lets take a look why. Hey everyone, so, if all goes to plan this will publish as my opponent and I are setting up for our first round. This week I am once again facing a scum and villainy list. This Time Fenn Rau (Yeah, him again) and Dengar. Ironically I think this is one of my harder match-ups as my list generally doesn't pair well against other 2 ship lists, especially PWT 2 ship lists. So lets take a look at the lists and see where we stand. Good morning veryone. I know this weeks AAR is really really late, but, I wanted to get it out there. Also I have to appologize for no round 3 report.. I kinda got screwed over on hours at work and couldnt make it happen, so the next one you will see is round 4. Let's take a look at how round 2 went. This time there will be a lot more pics of the action thanks to learning how to take pics of the Board state in Vassal Hey everyone, CJ here. So, FFG has released a preview for the new Scum and Villainy aces pack called "Hired Guns". This new expansion brings us much needed fixes for the Kihraxz and the Starviper fighters. As is customary this expansion will of course include a pair of fighters repainted just for it. The ra is beautifully done in a Black Sun paint Scheme and the Starviper is in a so-so red and black scheme that just seems to make my eyes hurt, and will definitely get a repaint. So, let's take a look at the expansion that has all the kids on Nal Hutta talking. |
