Man, it looked great up close in person!

Thanks Howie.

I gotta say, those Lyrans of yours are pretty spiffy.

I have to say the full on map with minis really looked good.

You guys all did an awesome job with them.

I'm looking forward to getting my Kzinti, Romulan, and Orions done now, so we can have even more variety. You guys are giving me incentives to get 'em done quicker.

I wish I could see it in person since it looks incredible from the screen!

I really like the small set of extra hatches and red arcs on the bow below the registree.

Nicely done. It's also great to see how your custom decals worked out as well. Can't wait for more.

Will needs to post the pics from our last game. See the three fleets in action

I should be able to get those pictures posted tonight (wife-permitting). It's my birthday and she may have plans for me I don't know about.

Happy birthday, dood!!!

Thanks Tony. It's been good so far.

I'm uploading the pictures now. I'll do some now, and some later tonight (after my special dinner).
PICS are at the Redmond Star Fleet Meetup site.

Great photos, Will.

I've always enjoyed seeing others photos of their miniatures - but seeing them action is so much better. Looks like a fun game.

Awesome photos Will! Thanks for posting them.

The scenario was a lot of fun and turned out much better than planned. Have to come up with something just as fun for next time.

Using the Minis really helps bring the game alive.

It was a lot of fun. Will C's scenario idea was a really good one - it kept everyone busy and the fight didn't instantly degenerate into a "you and me against him" brawl, the way most 3-way fights do. Having goals that everyone wanted kept that from happening. Even the tiny frigates were still up and moving till the very end.

Howie and I are working on a write up of how the fight went. I have Howie's draft and will add my take on things tonight. Once we run it past our esteemed host, we ought to post it in the 'Local Groups' section as a battle report.

Cool djdood.

The pics are great and it looks like everyone was having fun. Kyle's Gorn ships look solid, Howie's Lyrans look like they were on the prowl and your ships look graceful. Oh and the transports look like they are lumbering along.

Can't wait to see your next report. And happy belated birthday to you

Thanks!

Howie and Kyle are both excellent painters.

The Redmond SF Meetup is getting together again in another week, so we'll see what pictures come of it.
