Howdy,
This a brief Photo AAR from my game last Saturday (11/18). Played using the rules So Convenient for Hewing, using Star Wars Legion figures. So Convenient for Hewing was developed as a set of skirmish rules for Dark Age gaming, but the basic system is very flexible. The rules are available Print on Demand from lulu.com --- search by title.
The scenario entailed a Clone squad sent to the village of Tooma, so search for a missing data chip. But, it was a "trap" – the Clone squad was attacked by droids led by a wanna-be Sith. The "trap" did not go as planned, as a Clone quick reaction force deployed to ambush the would be ambushers. The Clones led by a young Jedi, demolished the Droid left flank. The episode closed at the Clones begin to surround the remaining droids and … their leader.

The players seem to have enjoyed the game. I count that as a win.
Ponder on,
