Well, that was fun!
My photos can be seen here.
Before the gaming started, I took the opportunity to get a Victory class destroyer at reduced price - I have evil ideas involving a scratch-built, larger scale model, using this for reference, which will have an afterburner. :twisted:
As it turned out, I wasn't one of the lucky ones to join Claudia Christian for the RPG, but I did get four helpings of Sector 49. I'd brought my Shadows and was fielding two Scouts plus four fighters, though as we were (mostly) using strict 2E rules, I didn't know if the fighters would do any good. The Scouts, being organic, had been fed the night before to keep their strength up. It paid off - they defeated a pair of White Stars plus fighter escort in Sector 49 round 1, obliterated two more White Stars plus two Blue Stars in round 2, and just for variety, had some fun with a Delphi, an Assault Hyperion and a regular Hyperion in round 3. My one big mistake was in round 4; the young lad's White Star was destroyed early on, so I let him back into the battle with a Shadow Scout, then he switched sides and started shooting at me! The EA side had more ships, so I always had to move before him, which at least meant the lad got to destroy something. Such generosity will not be repeated, nor will it be needed - he's now the proud owner of a small but growing Vorlon fleet...
I also got to watch Claudia, assisted by the same kid, command an Omega and Hyperion against a Primus and two Vorchans. Ivanova and a kid against probably Ivanova's number 1 fan; the result was a foregone conclusion. :lol:
Stuff signed: a Be Five CD and two flight base stands. Claudia was puzzled as to what the clear plastic disc was, so I assembled the stand and put a White Star on top. I don't know what's going on the other stand; someone else on the forum will know that.
