Well, that was fun....

Well, with the election now blissfully past, I am looking forward to doing something, anything, other than thinking about and worrying about politics. Frankly, I really have the urge to kill something. Lots of somethings, in fact. I have to work this Sunday (Nov. 7), so if we are playing I can't make it, unfortunately. But next weekend? Next weekend I really want to do some gaming. I don't really care where or what, but I want to roll some dice.

Oh, and the Star Wars reference? I am getting really close to having all of the Rebel Storm miniatures. I'm down to a handful of ultra-rares that I am slowly paying $20-$25 a piece for. I've only played the game once, but had a good time with it. Anybody interested in giving it a whirl sometime?

That looks like star wars version of the DnD minis that are out.

I recently picked up a good WWI air combat Card. I found a variant that uses starwars ships instead.

Hey, that sounds like fun. I'm not much into card games but I would give it a whirl. What is it called? (The SW version)

And yeah, Rebel Storm is basically a D20 minis game, like D&D minis. Although I have never had the urge to play a D&D minis game. I figure it would be just as fun to play actual D&D, y'know? But something about Star Wars minis is kind of exceptionally cool. Even if they are just used for the SW RPG or to sit on a shelf and looks StarWarsy.

Well, this is and isn't a card game. You use cards, yes, but not in the normal usage. It is called Wings of War - Famous Aces. The starwars version, is a variant, that uses cards I'd have to download and print.

Wings of War is a game series which merges card and board game mechanics to recreate aerial combat. The first series of Wings of War games focus on the "knights of the air" age, World War I, portraying the abilities of the fighting planes of this period.
Airplanes are represented by a single card which is used as a playing piece on any open surface; the players choose and play simultaneously movement cards to decide the actions of the airplane they control. Different planes use different decks of movement cards to represent their different maneuver capabilities, and different deck of "Fire" card are used to take into account their fighting effectiveness and to keep track of damage.
Each Wings of War set is a complete game for 2 to 4 players which may be combined with additional sets, or with other copies of the same set, to play larger games. For that purpose, 23 planes with different colors are included in each box. Each one is depicted after accurate historical documentation.
"Wings of War - Famous aces" is the first set of the WWI collection. It includes 5 models of planes: the Spad XIII, Albatros D Va, Sopwith Camel, Fokker Dr1, Sopwith Triplane. Each one was flown by an ace: between them Baracca, von Richtofen, Rickenbecker, Fonk, Olieslagers, Bakers. There are also 4 decks of movement cards, 1 deck of combat cards, rulers, counters and a promo card of the second set, "Wings of War - Watch your back!", depicting an Austrian two-seater Ufag C.I.
