SpaceX's second Crew Dragon launch is pushed back to Friday morning, a little before 6AM. That's about the time I wake up, so I'll probably watch the rocket go up.
Friday's going to be a day. One of our Fort Knox guys (Michael Predny, future-Andy) is transferring to Aberdeen next month, so we're having a big Armada match as part of a send-off. Two teams, 1000 points per team, with a custom objective - the Rebel general and his command are attempting to escape to a new base, and the Empire is here to keep that from happening. My partner and I are fielding six Victory Star Destroyers between us, and I'm getting my Onager onto the table for the first time. That weird beast is going to, hopefully, use its ridiculous weapons range to herd the Rebels into the Victories' guns and missiles. This will probably
go four or five hours, and my brain will start leaking out of my ears by the time we're done. And it will be a blast.
My favorite X-Wing podcast is hanging it up. The Shuttle Tydirium made its last flight this week, after five years and 132 episodes. They've promoted my favorite style of play - casual, narrative games that don't adhere to the "standard" 400/6 setup. I got to play in one of their events at GenCon 2019, had an incredible time and came home with a terrific stack of loot. The only other X-Wing podcast I still listen to is Gold Squadron, and I've skipped over a lot of their episodes lately.
The Dodgers are the best team in the Majors, 18 games into the season. They're sitting at 14-4, off tonight, playing the surprisingly good Padres tomorrow night.
