Power Legion is a Hit!

Finally got two games of Power Legion to the table. The first game Dinoboy played Alex Drake and Maximan played Ambush. I played Morlock and the Dark Infernal. All characters are statted in earlier posts.

The battle commenced with Ambush taking and firing from cover. She pretty much took out Morlock before he could do much. Dark Infernal closed with Alex Drake and the two pummeled and flamed each other until finally Alex Drake brought the heinous villain low.

The second game we played took place in a ruined city after an alien attack. There were craters everywhere (Newly bought Pegasus Hobbies terrain and on my new 2' x 3' Zuzzy Wounded City battle mat).

In this game we played 4 models to a side: The boys played the following heroes (all statted in a previous post except Stonewall whose stats are provided below): Dinoboy was playing Alex Drake and Freezer Burn, while Maximan was playing Stonewall and Ambush.

I played Lord Dominus, Ogre, Battle Ape, and K'Thund. Battle Ape's stats were published in a previous post the other three characters are below for your convenience.

Stonewall (606 pts.)

Here are some pics from the fight:

Battle Ape fell first having taken arrows from Ambush and an ice blast from Freezer Burn. He couldn't catch a break. Lord Dominus mind controlled Freezer Burn while K'Thund and Stonewall clashed. Stonewall eventually got the better of K'Thund (who had taken several arrows before closing with Stonewall), sending the beast to sleepy time land. Lord Dominus held out a bit longer having taken control of Stonewall, but a direct hit from Ambush ended his domination. Ogre stood until the very end, but finally fell under a pummeling from the heroes. 

In the games we used a Damage Effects Table I put together. If you are interested in using it in your own Power Legion games click HERE . I was really happy with how the table worked in combat. It added an extra layer of tension and structure to the damage roll.

In other news, we have brought X Wing to the table for a few skirmishes over the past couple of days. I forgot how fun this game is. Maximan is especially enamored with it. We just bought an E Wing at our FLGS. Here are some pictures of our dogfights. 

In the coming days there will be more games. Power Legion, X Wing? Who knows, but one thing for sure, the gaming table will be crowded. Until next time, dear reader, keep the dice rolling!

Power Legion: Roll Call 1

Summer time means games.

Especially games I don't get to throughout the busier parts of the year. I bought Power Legion when it came out and was very excited about it. It is a cool system for supers combat on the tabletop using all of the polyhedral dice most gamers have lying around the house.

As soon as I perused the rules, I immediately converted my Supers! RPG original characters to the Power Legion system, dug up some pre-painted D&D and Star Wars miniatures who could pass as those characters and prepared to play a game...That game never happened.

A few months passed, and my interest was re-kindled in the game. I wanted to buy a print copy, and recently, Ganesha Games offered up a Lulu.com sale on his books, so I went for it. Now with my PDF copy and print copy, the boys and I are gearing up for some super brawls. We played an introductory skirmish the other night to see the rules in action. Finally, the game was on the table! And it is fun!

That night, I plundered my mini collection for the most super-looking minis I could find and statted up a bunch. The boys and I are going to sit down for a few more brawls in the coming days. I have decided to give you all a look at the characters who will be populating our tabletop battlefield. Enjoy:

Hope you enjoy this as much as we do.

Until next time, Game on!
