Star Trek V.S. Star Wars!

This is purely an Introduction to the blogging I will Hopefully be doing directly for the Dragon's Den
Game store in Short Pump, VA! This is the First truly awesome event I was able to be apart of and got going on November 15, 2013. It was going to start out as a simple 4 way one ship battle at 50 points per person. 3 Star Trek players and 1 X-wing Player lead to a 5th player then a 6th and it turned in to a 3 on 3 Star Wars V.S. Star Trek battle! When it began the planning turned to 75 Points a player which made things more... Interesting. There was a great deal of discussion amongst allies about Stratagem as they selected there ships, upgrades, starting positions, and me ad not yet started thovements. Before we knew it, it had been over an hour and we had not yet started the actual game yet! But finally everything was planned and the game was set into motion!

The battle was slow going  at first with the distance being so great between the ships but it lead to a lot Strategics amongst the teams what with a rather daunting obstacle in the center of the map.

Notice the oval shaped obstacle in the picture that is an unstable worm hole any ship coming within
Range 1 attack of it had to roll an attack die, should it land on a critical hit it would deal 1 damage to
hull regardless of shields. as you can see once the distance was cleared battle was heated.

There are some balance issues within the game most of which where easily resolved examples being...
The Star Trek ships generally have a higher number of attack dice (red) and while cloaked (select ships...) have a lot more agility dice (green) but while uncloaked those ships could hardly defend against the brutal assaults the Star Wars ships could unleash and the same was generally true in  there
direction as well, The Star Trek ships have more attack dice but the Star Wars ships typically have more defense die in general. The increased number of ships the Star wars players could take at 75 points helped them a lot too where it is easy to spend 75 points on a ship for the Trek players you could easily take 2 or 3 ships for The Star Wars players. (I grant the fact the Slave One can eat 75 points relatively easily.)  The only other issues that arose from the play of these two games together
where simple rule clashes which came down to 3rd party mediation and in the event where one rule  gave an advantage to one team and not the other, it was decided the more beneficial rule would take president over the other. So there where rules from X-wing that where used over Attack wing rules and vice versa.

First blood was drawn by the Star Trek team! that Lambda class shuttle had to go! With the Pilot and upgrade set up, it was making target locks rapidly and giving them to it's team mates which is very useful for team Star Wars and scary for team Star Trek. There was focused fire upon it and it was brought down! Shortly after the I.R.W. Valdore (My ship...) was obliterated by the Slave One, after it's rather lengthy stray from the battle.

In this corner Star Trek!

And in this Corner! Star Wars! 

 The Senario

Two battles in two Galaxies... A worm hole opens and The skirmish between the Rebel Alliance and The Imperial Army are spirited away though a sudden worm hole and are dumped into unfamiliar stars... Suddenly on sensors and screens more weapons fire is apparent! Four wholly unfamiliar ships
are seen firing amongst themselves. Hostilities cease and the two groups begin to examine one another... All of a sudden enemy is now ally for self preservation. the newly opened worm hole is throwing off  violent radiation, both sides decide it is best to avoid getting too close to this strange churning anomaly, but there are new enemies to be destroyed and with some clever maneuvering it might just be possible.

... We can finish Destroying each other AFTER we have dealt with this unknown threat.


I will update this more as I receive more pictures from the other players there where camera phones snapping mad pics so there will be lots more!
