I played #EarthborneRangers Monday and #ImperialAssault yesterday with my regular heavy-gamer crew.

Both are pretty fun. Earthborne Rangers has a sweet, #SolarPunk vibe and is reasonably "family weight". It's not light by any means, but it seems like the kind of game a precocious 10 or 12 year old wouldn't have trouble with.

Imperial Assault is #StarWars _straight_ from my nostalgia era. Players are split with one player as Imperials and everyone else Rebels. Imps were played quite well, and the "one vs all" dynamic was fun, especially because we all play full coop games together and have a very "work the problem out loud" vibe, with varying STFU points.

We've started scheduling the next session before we leave, which has made coordinating campaign games much more successful.

Trying for 2 at once feels _highly_ ambitious, but we're playing Earthborne Rangers at 3.

Star Wars - Imperial Assault: Jabbas Palast. Kampagne abgeschlossen und Jabba gezeigt, wo der Blaster hängt.

Tolles, immersives Spiel, dem man aber im Vergleich zu beispielsweise Reise durch Mittelerde ansieht, dass Miniaturen-Abenteuerspiele zugänglicher wurden. #brettspiele #imperialassault

January marked 5 years when I started painting minis. The 1st minis I would paint were the stormtroopers from imperial assault.

There will more stormtroopers (and clones troopers) that I will be painting

So here's five years of painting stormtroopers.

My girlfriend and I have been playing #ImperialAssault and we are loving it. We have completed the first two introductory missions and my feeling is that they are way too complicated for the rebels on a two-player game. Nevertheless, we are enjoying Imperial Assault very much.
Last few minis painted of 2023, going to (in theory) try to ignore/mitigate back pain and paint more this year, and finally finish off my Mary Rose which has taken waaaaay too long.

Some pics from last night's #ImperialAssault skirmish "Fortifications", played with deliberately "experimental" (read: rubbish) teams. I got absolutely thrashed, even moreso than normal.

"Many Bothans died to bring us this information."
Mak Eskha'rey from #ImperialAssault This chap rarely makes the table but pleased with how he turned out (even though I just spotted a massive mistake agh!)

The last, for now, of miniatures from #StarWars #ImperialAssault

Ahsoka and Thrawn.

I've still not got easy access to the light box and I seem to be unable to take a group shot without someone being blurry, so please excuse the shoddy photos.

Here's the other half of the Phoenix rebels from #StarWars #ImperialAssault , together with a picture of the whole team.

I'm one of those weirdos who really liked #StarWarsRebels and watching Ahsoka gave me the impetus to paint some of my #ImperialAssault Rebels characters.

Here's half of Phoenix squad.
