Michael Feinberg, Lionel Galperin, Jim Halloran, Alex Jordan, Dave Olson, Tim Sanker

Games Played

Michael (Cheyenne), Jim (Ghost), Alex (Doc) and Dave (Django) played Colt Express.  It was a close but chaotic game throughout, but Django pulled out the win with $2000, followed by Doc with $1900, Ghost with $1300 and Cheyenne with $1000.

Michael (Doc), Jim (Cheyenne), Alex (Belle), Dave (Tuco) and Tim (Ghost) played Colt Express.  Another close one, and we actually played the movement rules correctly this time.  In the end Ghost came away with the win with $2200, followed by Doc with $2150, Belle with $2050, Cheyenne with $1500 and Tuco pulling up the rear with $1000.

Lionel (Empire) and Dave (Rebels) played Star Wars: X-Wing Miniatures Game.  This was with the introductory quick start rules.  The rebel X-Wing was able to take out the 2 Imperial Tie fighters for the win.

Michael, Jim, Alex and Tim played Starfarers of Catan.  Michael came away with the win, with Alex close behind.

Lionel (Rebels) and Dave (Empire) played Star Wars: X-Wing Miniatures Game.  This was played with the full rules and a 70 point build.  The rebels, with 2 X-Wing fighters led by Wedge Antilles, took on a swarm of 4 Imperial tie fighters.  Some early high accuracy shots by the Ties put the rebels at a distinct disadvantage, and in the end the numerical superiority of the ties was too much for the X-Wings to overcome.

Michael (Sir Palamedes), Lionel (Sir Galahad), Jim (Sir Pericival), Alex (Sir Bedivere), Dave (King Arthur), Tim (Sir Tristan) played Shadows Over Camelot. The knights (Bedivere and Galahad) successfully fought off the Picts and were able to complete the grail quest early (Arthur, Palamedes and Bedivere). Unfortunately, the Black Knight and the Saxons were able to successfully attack Camelot. The score was 4 white swords to 2 black. Soon after, the knights (Percival, Tristan) won the Excalibur quest making the score 6 white, 2 black.

At this time intrigue in the court saw Sir Percival accusing Sir Tristan of being a traitor. Sir Tristan proved that he was loyal, throwing suspicion on Sir Percival. Unfortunately, when the false accusation took place there was a card in play that caused 2 white swords to flip to black on the round table (4 White, 4 black). A couple of additional losses to the minor quests saw the score go to 4 white, 6 black. The Knights put a card in play allowing them to win ties, so they just needed 2 more white swords to win.  Percival revealed that he was a traitor forcing the knights to discard some cards. The Saxons were threatening another successful attack on Camelot, which would have guaranteed a loss for the loyal knights.  In the end Sir Palamedes was able to win the Lancelot’s armor quest (with a card in play giving an extra white sword), and the good guys pulled off a win with 6 white to 6 black swords.

Lionel (Rebels) and Dave (Empire) played Star Wars: X-Wing Miniatures Game.  The rebels, with 2 X-Wing fighters piloted by Luke Skywalker and Wedge Antilles, took on a group of 3 Imperial Tie fighters.  This was a much tigher battle, but in the end the rebel scum were defeated to the glory of the empire!

Games Played

Michael, Jim, Dave and Jeramee played Buck Rogers: Battle for the 25th Century Game.  We played some version of the base game mixed with the advanced game with some elements of the fan inspired Version 2.0 from BGG.  Jim took control of Wilma Deering and set up base on Earth and the Moon.  Jeramee took the role of Black Barney and owned Mars AND Mercury, with a small presence in the asteroid belt.  Michael played as Buck Rogers with his forces split between Venus and the asteroids.  Dave controlled Killer Kane with forces on Venus and the asteroid belt.

Wilma and Barney jumped out to early leads running unopposed on Earth/Moon for Wilma and Mars/Mercury for Barney.  Kane and Buck figured out early on that they should form a non-agression pact if they were going to be able to compete with Wilma and Barney.  Kane made an attempt on Mercury, but was quickly thwarted by Barney’s numerical superiority.  Buck and Kane both made some inroads in the asteroid belt.  Barney made an early attempt to infiltrate the Earth sattelites, but Wilma was able to repel the attempt.  Barney also made a move against Buck on Venus, but was unable to capture any territories.

In the end, we did not get to finish the game since Jim (Wilma) had to leave early, but at that point Wilma was moving to take Mars from Barney, and Buck decided to back-stab his loyal partner and fellow Venusian Killer Kane.  The score when the game was abandoned was Jim 14, Michael 13, Jeramee 12, Dave 3.

Michael, Jeramee and Dave played The Castles of Burgundy.  Final score: Michael 93, Jeramee 68, Dave 59

Club Business

The club voted to purchase Ca$h ‘n Guns (second edition) and Specter Ops.

Attendees: Chris Cregan (to help loading up games), Jim Halloran, Dave Olson and Jeramee Scherer

Games Played:

Jim and Jeramee (2 commandos each) played against Dave (aliens) in Level 7: Omega Protocol. The good guys had to infiltrate the secret base and steal the plans from the evil mastermind.  It was pretty much a cake walk for the good guys, as the aliens were not much of a threat.  All 4 commandos made it out with minimal damage.

Club Business:

Jim and Dave delivered the games that the club decided to sell last year to OOP Games in Lynwood.
