That's a great way to see someone off :D Looks like a good time was had by all, and the only thing better than a party with friends is a party with wargames with friends.
Like many Rogue Trader was my intro too. The game has floors. But there are still some crackingly good parts.
I loved the story driven missions. It made for better justification to play a game than "victory points" alone. It made the games a challenge, not just who cold throw the most dice and get the highest average.
I love the write up and the beakies.. how I rue the day I disposed of my own beakies.
Thanks for sharing.

[Image]Last night we celebrated Conscript Greg's impending nuptials with a party and wargame - back to the old school with Warhammer 40,000 "Rogue Trader" - Greg's Perry Twins Guardsmen versus my RT-era Ork army.
[Image]Careful deployment of the troops - I have set up the Orks in the "Devonian Gambit" configuration countered by Greg's "Emperor's Cuirass Defence".
[Image] [Image] My Orks before the slaughter began. Unfortunately they were the "slaughter-ees."
[Image]Some of Greg's very well painted Imperial Guardsmen... the original plastic set.

[Image] "They'll be comin' round the mountain when they come... they'll be driving Orky Scorchas when they come..."
[Image] This was fun - a Human Bomb! Now you see him...
[Image]Now you don't! And half of the Ork squad is gone too. Where'd they go...?
[Image] [Image]Outside for brandy and cigars after the game...
[Image]Greg expounds his views on Wolverine, C-3P0 and dwarfs...
[Image]Wes scans the sky for extraterrestrial spacecraft... An excellent time was had by all - thanks to those Conscripts who made it out, and especially to Cam for introducing us to the Food of the Gods - Doritos Late Nighter Cheeseburger chips. Om nom nom - so good!!

Rogue Trader is great! This time in particular, because the dice were with us....
