A friend recently brought over his Legions minis that he's been working on and we played a skirmish match.

The image linked is the setup from some time mid-game.

The matchup was Republic Clone Troopers (him) vs. CIS Droid Troopers (me). The Droids took it in the end, mostly due to General Grievous being an absolute truck.

I found the game a lot of fun to play. We've played a bunch of Fantasy Flight's games - Runewars, X-wing, and Imperial Assault among them - and I'm starting to recognize a lot of common mechanics among their games. This was was relatively snappy and I enjoyed the command/activation mechanic.

Minis and terrain were painted by my friend, who is a much better painter than me, lol. I was really blown away by the ship in the center of the play area, which he kitbashed from this Zurg Mothership toy from the Lightyear movie:

Hi everyone, I thought I'd say hi in this new community as a new moderator. I'm Foon (she/her), and I love table top games. My partner and I have been gaming a lot in the past 5 years or so, and we have a bunch of friends that turned into boardgamers too, and boardgamers that we turned into friends. So on average we get almost a game a day in.

I'm excited to discuss all things tabletop gaming with you all. Some of my favourite games are Gloomhaven/Frosthaven, Spirit Island, Aeon's End, Terraforming Mars.

What are y'all's favourite games?
