So, Covid-19 freeze out?

So…  Covit-19, huh?  Everything shut down, even I am working from home…  The University has gone to “Online Only” for the remainder of the Semester..

So, that’s how well things are going here J…  Just before the final shutdown I snagged a bunch of Legion things to shore up my Rebel forces.  Specifically Veterans, the Specialist pack, Card Pack and Jyn Erso…  Thinking of painting the Vets up in a DAK form…  Something very different than the Martian Camouflage the Line Troopers are painted up in to tell the difference at a glance.  My Clones are coming along as well.  The 500 point event was cancelled/to be rescheduled of course, so still more time to pick a list…  Both armies are fun, and who knows how much more I’ll have painted up by the time this all blows over…  Pretty sure if we do go to 800 point games I’ll be back at Rebels though.  The Clone Tank is impressive, but…

Also snagged my fourth Jedi Aethersprite for my Republic X-Wing list…

So I can fly this at the next Store Championships…  Assuming they hit before the points change again, and I REALLY hope that is the case.  This is not a hugely overpowered list, just four fragile but VERY agile ships that can hit surprisingly hard and survive if your skill at dodging arcs and luck holds for a bit…  Yes, they can just go pop if you fail the didge and then blank out on your Agility roll.  Better to not have a shot yourself than to give your opponent a good shot like that.  The tiebreaker sucks for this list with only 8 Dice in the roll off, so you DO have to actually play the game.  Surprisingly not an issue for me though.  Just one more Ship to paint up as Barriss’ ship has to look different…  I was thinking of maybe making it look like my old 20^th Engineers beret flash from when I was in?  Something different…

Otherwise, just trying not to go crazy with this very different routine.  Running Monday, Wednesday and Friday but without the walking all over Campus I need something else to do.  Elliptical and weights today, and I am guessing that will become a daily thing during this.

First interview done for another place…  Some of the answers I gave might have been riskier, but a direction that I think would prove a time and other resource saver for them if I were to be the one hired and allowed to move in these directions.  With the “budget savings through attrition” that my current Department was doing it was not really a choice, we NEEDED the efficiency, so I have already done these things once.  So, proven success is good, he said hopefully?  Will see I suppose…
