Vale Carrie Fisher

In honor of the passing of Carrie Fisher the two Dave’s joined honorary P.I.G.S. members Ben and Koz for a Scum and Villainy V Empire game.

Each player was allowed a choice of up to  100pts from their factions ships. No more than two upgrade cards per ship were allowed, and full tournament rules were used.

 Koz’s untrustworthy scum of the galaxy and villainy fleet consisted of a scum Y-wing a Jumpmaster 5000 and a Z-95 Headhunter all tooled up as much as possible.

Ben’s dastardly scum of the galaxy and villainy fleet consisted of Boba Fet and his Firespray, a Z-95 Headhunter and an M3-A Interceptor again tooled up to the gunnels.

The Loyal and heroic Imperial fleet of David S consisted of 3 Tie Fighters, 3 Tie F/O fighters and a Tie bomber, all fielded without upgrades.

The other wing of the Imperial fleet was ably led by David K. His half of the fleet consisted of a Firespray (the Real Boba), a Tie Punisher and 2 Tie Bombers.

As the battle was about to commence the presence of Carrie Fisher AKA Princess Leia was felt by all.

The battle began with the Imperial forces using their numbers to attack in packs. At first this began to work as the galaxy was rid of the weaker scum vessels.

With the Y-Wing, z-95 Headhunters and the M3-A all turned into space debris the battle began to even up as the two larger scum vessels began to take toll of the lightly armoured Imperial fleet.

Soon the engagement was between was between 2 Tie F/O’s and an Imperial Firespray versus a badly damaged Firespray and a Jumpmaster 5000 (sounds like something being sold on late night TV, doesn’t it?), only slightly better off.

Although the Empire lost another loyal Tie Fighter pilot the battle was won when, first the Boba clone exploded, followed soon after by the Jumpmaster. The two Dave’s giving the honorary P.I.G.S. members a good thrashing.

With the game over all that is left to say is “Carrie, thank you for the legacy of a wonderful body of work”.
