May 4th Star Wars Day Battle: LEGO Rhen Var

Had to do a battle for Star Wars Day! Since I'm starting a series of battles this summer featuring Rhen Var and Tatooine, I thought I'd kick off Rhen Var using LEGO Star Wars and ToyMallet 40cents rules. Doug commanded the defending Clones while I fought with the invading CIS. True to history, the Battle Droids won the day.

Ooooh! The Carnage....

Toymallet 40 Cents: Gators vs. Pachydon

After the Clone Wars fight newcomer Roy and I fought a Toymallet 40 Cents game using Blasted Planets minis made by Historifigs. I took command of the Pachydon which consisted of two squads and the Robo Elephant Walker of Big Stompy Doon (tm) and Roy used two squads of Gator Guys and 2 Gator Tanks. I made a rule mod of giving armor points to the vehicles so they wouldn't bite it with one hit. Both sides were given the missile launcher trait for thier uh, missile launchers...

Ah! The two sides meet in the swamps of Gatoraidia...Fearing a pre-emptive strike by the ravaging Gators, the Pachydon must strike now to prevent an invasion of Elephantitia!

Roy sends his Gator Guys and Gator Tanks forward to engage the biggest threat. This works in my favor because my Pachydon begin a crossfire and better position them...

Concentrating the Gator Tanks and a squad equipped with missile launcher troops, the Elephant Walker erupts in flames..WAAAAAAAAA!!!!

Knowing that there is a Gator tank with thier name on it, the Pachydon rush to find cover amongst the ruins.



The Pachydon take cover in some ruins and manage to wipe out the last Gator tank with a missile laucher! Pachydon Victory!

TOYMALLET 40 CENTS!!

I found it on the web and was pretty impressed with the game! So I gathered the family around today and we played a couple games; A battle between the Saurians and the Wormics/Greys, and then a Mars Attacks! ground battle. The rules ran simple and smoothly, you should check out the rules for fun.

Battle 1: Saurians VS Wormic/Greys

The setup for a battle between the Saurians and the Wormic/Grey Alliance. Saurians & Wormic from Acheson Creations, Greys from Mega Miniatures. I made the ruins and fuel the objectives to earn Happy Fun Time points to win....

The Greys ready to fight. I gave them the Teleport ability, and Tactical so with the +1 they win initiative....

One of the two squads of Wormic in this battle. They were given the Scary Fast ability, so they can cover more ground...

One of the two squads of Saurians in the battle, who were given the indirect fire ability (grenades) supported with an infantry vehicle with battle cannon....

The Greys secure the ruins early in the game....

Later, they teleport behind the Saurians and dish out some firepower. They also used a Tactical point to make the Saurians retreat so they couldn't be assaulted in close combat...

The infantry vehicle gets toasted by the Wormic who take position around the fuel supply, the Saurians find themselves hurting for firepower and were later surrounded and outnumbered in close combat. Grey and Wormic Victory!

BATTLE 2 : MARS ATTACKS!

Here is the setup, the Martians are moving into a city as Swat and Soldiers prepare a defense. Civilians are scattered on the table, Martians get an extra HFT point for each one they fry, defenders get a point for each one they rescue. Martians, Swat and Civilians from Mega Miniatures, Soldiers are West Wind...

Martians bringing in the DeathBlower 2000....

Oh No! They've dropped in a Mega Killbot X!!!

Ah! Our saviors advance on the Martian threat!

Early on, the Tanks get a lucky blow and take down the Mega Killbot X!!! There is nothing I hate more than wasted potential...next time I'll hide him behind a building for a turn or two....

The DeathBlower 2000 delivers vengeance on the human's puny tank....

By this time, the Martians have taken heavy losses, but are advancing at a steady pace to engage the humans in close combat...

Fighting in the streets! Do not run we are your friends!!!!

The Martians have lost the battle, but not the war....
