It’s Over Anakin! I Have The High Ground

Some of the heroes of Rogue One secure the highest roof on their side of town.

Sadly Building Rooftops Are Not As Significant In Star Wars Legion As Standing Slightly Higher On The Banks Of A Lava Flow Seems To Be...

I got to play Star Wars Legion again recently with my friend's beautifully painted Rebel army.  It's been mentioned here in the past, but I am in the ideal situation with this game.  I love Star Wars and find the mechanics of Legion very fun to play, but I don't have the time or money to buy into another game system.  Fortunately for me I have a good friend who owns Imperial and Rebel armies with all the fixings and who paints amazing looking armies.  That way I can just show up at his house and play a game of Legion on a great looking board without adding to my massive painting backlog.  This post will serve less as a detailed battle report and more as an excuse to show off my friends gorgeous miniatures.  Follow along after the jump if you wish you could still play with Star Wars toys and wanted the framework of a game to guide your galactic fun...

Turns out Hasbro's U-Wing is exactly the right size to serve as scenery for a Legion game.

Shore troopers are so cool-looking and they have a mortar!

"We have to hurry, this town is ready to blow"

"Alright men, once we round this corner this time we are going to actually aim at the people we are trying to shoot, rather than dramatically hitting everything around them"

"Right now I feel like I could take on the whole empire myself"

At which bunker did General Solo say he was going to meet us?

"You think what? I'm gonna walk out with a laser sword and face down the whole First Order?"

Let's see, this was easy enough to do while hanging from the underside of a moving AT-AT...

Of course my atrocious rolling catches up with me in the end and Luke did not kill the Imperial tank as hoped.  Sadly he was unceremoniously cut down by Bossk next round to end the game.
