My Last Minute Imperial Assault Audible for Dallas

Image
I'm doing something I swore I'd never do again, I'm calling a last-minute audible and changing the list I'm playing. At least I decided to do it a week before the tournament, rather than the morning of.


I've been playing a Darth Vader / Palpatine list since I began playing Imperial Assault (IA), as I am a firm believer in #TheEmpireDidNothingWrong. That being said, playing this squad is the equivalent of playing Storm or some other control deck in Magic. I have fun playing it and I don't mind being beat whilst playing with friends, but for my first big IA tournament, I want to bring the pain.






I practiced with a friend this past Wednesday and learned about the hurt Jyn Odan can put on one with her Hair-Trigger ability. It's pretty annoying when I send Vader in after someone and suddenly I've got this lady shooting at me with an extra green die, as obviously, C-3PO or Gideon has focused her up. Han was also in this list and with his Return Fire ability, a…

Gotta See It: Black Panther Review

Image
The hype is real, Black Panther is an amazing movie that felt like a cyberpunk spy film with heavy influence from African culture. The cinematography and CGI were beautiful. I've heard people say this film was going to be like a blacksploitation film from the 70's, which I never believed it was going to be, and I found it to be anything but that. 



I was glad the story gave the characters ample time to develop through the course of the movie and refrained from making anyone a particular stereotype. Everyone felt like they had the proper amount of screen time, so it's awesome to get to know this new cast of characters. A lot of people criticize Marvel movies for having weak villains, but I feel it's fair to say the villains in this film, for the most part, had complex motivations and were not one dimensional. I wouldn't say I'm a fan of Michael B. Jordan's films, but he was very good in this movie as Killmonger and as usual Andy Serkis killed it!

Imperial Agenda: More Practice for Dallas IA Regionals

Image
I feel totally exhausted, but in a good way, like I've actually accomplished something. Monday night I played a game on Vassal using my new list versus Kenny from Zion's Finest podcast on Nal Hutta and even though I didn't win, I felt like I learned about the positioning of my figures to keep them out of line of sight and a few other tricks on that map.

 Tuesday I played a game with Brandon on Mos Eisley Back Alleys, with him playing my Vader / Palp list. It was a close game, but in the end, I feel like I overextended and got dominated by Vader. Which sucks, but at the same time, it was a good lesson to learn.














Yesterday I played another game again Vader / Palp piloted by Scott from the Zion's Finest group on Jabba's Palace and he handily beat my ass. The beating sucked, but seeing him pilot Vader / Palp in ways I had never considered was really cool and we had an awesome conversation after discussing tactics and positioning. For some reason, I have a really hard t…
