Star Wars Command game figures

Happy Star Wars Day!

We watched the Star Wars Rebels series with the kids just after Christmas.  We love the series and have been waiting for them to be old enough to understand what is going on and not be too scared.  For Number 2 son's birthday, we got him some figures from the old Star Wars Command game.

I remember seeing the Star Wars Command sets in the shops.  The game was released in 2014, but I'm not sure that it was particularly successful, it seemed to disappear again fairly quickly.  The figures are pretty well detailed and should paint up nicely.  They must be about 1:32 scale.  Our set includes the Rebels Ezra Bridger, Kanan Jarrus, Sabine Wren and Chopper, The Grand Inquisitor, a couple of Tusken Raiders and 2 Imperial Army troopers/AT-DP drivers.

 We also have a few AT-DP walkers.

All Terrain Defence Pods.

There is also a rather fine model of the Phantom.  This has recessed panel lines that should take an ink wash nicely when I paint it.

We should have had an extra set of figures with Hera, Zeb and some Stormtroopers as well, but the eBay seller failed to post them for more than a week and eventually refunded when I complained.  I'll see if I can round out the set another day.  

Diceni 2026

 Diceni was a fun day as usual, though our stay was a bit shorter than usual this time.

There were some great displays and participation games:

Silver Bayonet - Napoleonic horror.

WWII commando raid on German installation?

40K Tyranids invading Space Marines.

Tower guns charging... (controlled via phone app)

Guns firing.

We had a chance to join in a game of gladiatorial combat.  Number 2 son took control of Leonius the Beast, a lion-headed warrior (like Laval the Lion from Chima!).  Combat was fairly simple, coloured D12 were drawn from a bag to determine turn order.  Move up to your move score in inches.  Opposed combat rolls on 2D12 + dexterity.  Highest score rolls D6+ strength for damage, armour reduces this.
