HOLY ****....where did that link take me?  :hide:

You're lucky to have made it back.

Well I immediately closed my browser and ran antimalware and antivirus scans - nothing found - PHEW!  :DD

And apparently took the Blue Pill.

Bayonetbrant - you sound like Lynette Nusbacher 

[bayonetbrant]

if I knew who that was, I might be offended.

But I'm not a pussy, so you gotta try harder! :)

Used to be a bloke - Sandhurst trained historian.

To be fair, "her" voice hasn't changed - so I'm not suggesting you sound like a girl - just that you sound the same

[JudgeDredd]

A couple of questions for Lynette - sorry - bayonetbrant 

• How old is your son?
• What did you think of it?

Good Grogcast btw  O0

My son is 13
We haven't played Rebellion yet

Dr Sterrett's son is 10 or 11 or so (a little younger than mine) and enjoyed the game quite a bit

I think Brant will settle for sounding like a Sandhurst trained historian :P

It wasn't him then - it must have been Mr Sterrett because the guy that was talking said him and his son played Rebellion and had 3 sessions over a long weekend which made them both *think* about how they played.

That was Dr Sterrett playing with his kid.  I'm the other, other sarcastic one :)

I sure wish that I gave a big flying F about the Star Wars universe, as it sounds like I'd love this game. Is it anything like the old AH board game Freedom in the Galaxy?

It's inspired by the old PC game Star Wars: Rebellion, from what I understand. 

Was named something different overseas.

JD you're going to love this game and yes it's got about 150+ pieces in it to play with. 

I saw Rogue One with my daughter as well and we both liked it.  As a jaded old Star Wars nerd I thought for sure I'd be disappointed.  I've read the Han Solo Trilogy which does touch on the mission to steal the death star plans and was fully expecting to be enraged by Rogue One's perceived deviation from canon.  I was pleasantly surprised that the movie, while yes straying a bit from traditional lore, kept the gist of the story enough to please me.

Not to detract from the main point of the thread, but I have never read the stories....can you summarize how they described the mission to steal the plans?

I'm assuming you are referring to the Han Solo Trilogy.  Basically Han falls in love with a slave girl and sets her free.  He finds this girl on a planet that produces spice and is owned by a drug cartel.  When he sets her free she tells him she doesn't love him and must leave never to see him again.  He's totally dumbfounded and hurt.  The girl is actually a rebel agent posing as a slave to get inside information through being part of the drug trade.  She's forced to go along with Han's knight in shining armor rescuing the slave girl so her cover doesn't blow.  Once she leaves Han, and I don't remember this part clearly, she somehow begins the mission with the information she got through being a slave/spy.
