Less than a week until we wander over to Indianapolis for
Gen Con… Staying at the Embassy Suites ,
but NOT the one downtown unfortunately… Guessing
I’ll be at the Con Friday and Saturday trying to get in some gaming Friday and
wandering about with the girls on Saturday.
But in the meantime, one last event at the Gopher this evening and looking

Is a simulation of a simulation as it were… The scenario (http://wizkidsgames.com//wp-content/uploads/newattackwing/peakperformance/71997%20Instruction%20Sheet.pdf)
is one where you are running wargames to try to deal with the overwhelming Borg
attack, so simulated and your ships “die” but come back online with 1 fewer
shield or one less token in the case of Fighters… One reason I put on 2 things that can
regenerate Shields for me, and one ship is already conviently shield free… Fighters will be an issue if they get killed
too often, but hey, they’re 24 points.
Still trying to come up with a 120 point build for Gen Con,
likely be bringing Klingons just for the “We’re here to shoot things” that they
are known for… Simple enough stuff… Probably 4-5 decent ships, might go for 4
with interlocking bonuses to just move in a block and shoot things out of the
sky before dying ourselves…
Looking at the X-Wing stuff, REALLY looking forward to the
Wave 7 stuff and hoping they will have a bit at Gen Con, and will order a few
of the ships locally… Looking at the
things I can do with the Rebel heavy bomber and the twin laser turrets… Oh, and the new bomb types J… Should shake up the meta quite a bit. One of our locals took a really nice TIE
swarm to Chicago over the weekend for Regionals and made top 8… I suspect that this will be the last hurrah
for the TIE swarm though… Too many
things look like hard counters with components from this upcoming wave…
