Star Trek Attack Wing Bio ships vs all comers

Trying something new - third tournament



My Bioship fleet came close to winning the final round of my final game




The Borg under James won  the tourney


Alan Huskey won with a trio bioship



Vicious round a rear firing arc would make these Bioships really devastating

 
My second round




My final round opponent or was that the middle round  came close to winning this one too

August 2014 Pirates Giga Bites with George Condo

Used a Bit of LOTHS and Black Powder (but need the whole LOTHS next time - left the book at home LOL) Now I see why folks are so keen on PDF rules and tablets, laptops, etc!!

George Condo joined me for a game of Pirates


Commodore's Bonaventure Condo exchanges fire with the Governor's ship the Purcell




Ready to repel the invading pirates





One of the Garrisons ancient weapons opens fire

Commodore Condo steals away with a captured longboat





Condo's Privateer Marines have switched sides


The captured Bon Homme Richard attempts to make chase after one of its fleet


Seems a lot of ships changed sides during this game not sure who actually won
But Commodore Condo did capture 3 ships and lost 2 so perhaps it was a narrow victory


Condos Marines attempt to recapture the Bonaventure





The Commodore and his marines (what are left anyway)
 makes off with the drydocked leaky HMS Giga's Scurvy Wench
