Overall I had a productive weekend. With all the rain it gave me time to get some painting in (5 Gretchen and 1 runt herder).
I also took a trip to the new GW store in Plano and got a look at the new Space Hulk. It's a must have as soon as pay day gets here. When we got home my son wanted to get out my 1st edition copy and play a few games. We did mission 1: Suicide Mission with him playing gene stealers and I played Marines. I was able to pull off the win by sacrificing 2 marines to race my flamer to the target and burning up the objective.
The 2nd game we played Mission 2: Cleanse and once again My son chose Genestealers. I concentrated my Marines in 2 rooms giving them long LOS for overwatch kills and played static while he played ultra conservative and built up huge numbers before rushing me. The end result was we hit bed time and I had only killed 13 and only had my sergeant and flamer left. I'd like to think that I would have been able to put a hurt on him with the flamer but I really doubt I could have hit 30 kills so we called it his win.
Space Hulk really is a fun game and the new 3rd edition looks like it will be a continuation of the greatness of the original game. Hopefully payday will be here soon and I can pick it up.
