+++ INCOMING MESSAGE +++
There has been little activity in Vulture squadron's sector of the outer rim. The initial threat from the pirate and bounty hunter gangs seem to have abated, whilst rebel activity has all but gone since we intercepted the blockade runner.
News came in of a brief incursion by a rebel affiliated freighter into the sector covered by commander Hindle, but I believe these were easily dealt with...
+++END OF MESSAGE+++
Well, it's been a while! We have had a couple of brief games, but I've been a little tardy in updating. Besides, I've not flown as the Vultures so...
Last Friday Mike came over, and as detailed above, he flew a 100 point imperial squadron(A Firespray and Lambda Class Shuttle) against a rebel, Outrider, The Moldy Crow and an X-wing. A strange set up, with three big ships, plus a support ship (i.e. the Hawk)
Add to this we managed to set up directly opposite each other, and used about a third of the board...
Long story short, The X-wing wandered off on it's own somewhere, whilst The imperial ships dismantled the two rebel ships (Curse those Mangler cannons!)
Mike took Ben's mantle and managed to find the majority of the asteroids, although he got away with little damage.
The X-wing then decide to return to the fight and pretty much single handed took out the Shuttle, before the Firespray finished him.
A good game, although I think I need to get the Vultures flying again!
Also well worth a mention, the playing mat I got from Mike and Adam for my birthday was excellent again - I only managed to knock ships a little bit...
