Empire Invasion

Post by pesgores » Wed Mar 26, 2008 12:01 pm

This was a small skirmish i battled(SOLO again) yesterday.
TEAMS(2):
Rebels:
1 Officer(Wedge Antilles)
4 Soldiers
Empire:
8 Stormtroopers
OBJECTIVE:
Wipe the opposing team out!

And the minigun, which had the following stats:
UR: 4
DMG: 4d6(really!)
INFO: Takes 1 turn to charge(after first shot, no need to recharge before it)

Well, the Rebels:
Image

WEDGE: Are you sure we are safe here, soldier?
SOLDIER: Yes, captain.
WEDGE: I dunno, the door looks so quiet...
Image

BOOM!!!
Image

WEDGE: You and i should have a talk...
SOLDIER: *gulp*
SOLDIER2: Where are they?
Image

*PIUM PIUM PIUM*
Image

(Rebels turn)
WEDGE: Aim your weapons!
Image

*Soldier 2 shoots and hits one*
*Wedge uses his minigun and kills three Stormies*
WEDGE: Yah-oo!
Image

(Empire turn)
ST3: Send in the reinforcements!
Image

*ST3 and ST8 pick one weapon each*
Image

*ST8 manages to kill one Rebel*
Image

(Rebels turn)
*While Wedge recharges the minigun, all the others miss their shots*
Image

(Empire turn)

*ST3 kills another one*
Image

(Rebels turn)
SOLDIER4: Captain, we must run!
WEDGE: O RLY?*prepares minigun*
SOLDIER4: NO WAI! *advances and picks one weapon*
Image

*They combine the shots and three Stormtroopers die*
Image

(Empire turn)

ST3: HOW ARE YOU GENTLEMEN?
SOLDIER4: What?
Image

*ST3 kills the advancing Rebel*
Image

(Rebels turn)
WEDGE: C'mon, c'mon...*charges minigun*
Image

(Empire turn)
ST3: ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US*shoots*
Image

WEDGE: AHH!*loses minigun* WHAT YOU SAY?!
Image

ST3: YOUR ON THE WAY TO DESTRUCTION
Image

(Rebels turn)

WEDGE: Idiot...
Image

WEDGE: How about this?*shoots*
Image

ST3: YOU HAVE NO CHANCE TO SURVIVE MAKE YOUR*shot hits in the head*
Image

ST3's radio: SOMEBODY SET US UP THE BOMB
Image

WEDGE: For great justice.
Image

END

The battlefield at the end:
Image

Carnage(Empire):
Image

Carnage(Rebels):
Image

WINNER: Rebels(actually, only on paper, because i won. If you don't get it, you should reconsider reading the Brikwars rules again. The main objective is to have fun.)

I didn't really read half of the dialogue, but I applaud shoot-outs in narrow hallways without decent cover. Also I got distracted by the new Stormtrooper helmets. I'd never really noticed how different they were from the originals.

The internet fad references were what made it great.

Nice little battle. But I think the rebels had greater firepower... but if both of you had fun, then who cares?

Cool little battle, I like the charging idea with the minigun.
Did you ever try to make a different kind of minigun like this: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2037/156 ... 1e.jpg?v=0
It gives a less bulky effect and is easy to make.

The stormtroopers currently avalible in sets like the Imperial Dropship have a noticibly different mouth grill and lens shape when compared to older sets. All of my stormtroopers are from the first batch (mostly from a large number of #7201 Final Duel II that I found on clearance). There was a brief time sort of inbetween the current design and the original, when stormtroopers had patterend legs ala Boba Fett. It might have been included in the Cloud City playset, I can't recall.

I know I saw a lineup of the different versions, but try as I might I can't locate it this morning. It was probably on Brickshelf.

A damn shame. I am on a nostalgic spree right now, checking out my old battles and all. I can't believe I posted this 8 years ago.
