ok if it is ok with Ray I will post what happened today to me.

So I arrived at the lovely setting of Meta Games in Springfield.

We got there before it opened and Ray and the always fun loving Bolivar crew was there. Justin (of the Michigan gaming group) then arrived. Justin is interning in KC and came down to play. I just want to say that Justin is a great guy and represents the Michgan boys well. He was a hoot to have around and made the day just hilarious.

So what I played and the map I chose:

Gowk (General Obi Wan Kenobi ---- yes as everyone on earth has said I can beat him he is easy to kill)
Dash Rendar Renegade Smuggler
Lobot
R2 Doombot
Jedi Weapon Master
Camaasi Noble

My map:

Bespin

My normal reinforcments (used these about 80% today):
Jawa Scavenger (the freakin MVP for all day---- find me a better 13 point piece I dare you!!!!)
Gran Raider (fear the 3 eyed bugger)
Ugnaught Demolitionist ( one that is painted pink by my daughter---- yes he is secure in his manhood)


Round 1:

Opponent: Nate (my 15 year old son)/Kitfisto111493

Nate playing Gowk, Dash and Rex

I won map and this game was kind of disappointing as I wanted Nate to nothave to play me or chase..... oh well life goes on right? I used the door control and was able to win after agressively going after his uggies.

1-0

Round 2:

Opponent: Dave/Ithai

Dave played Twilek BSV's x 2 and Xizor

We played on his map Muunlist. Dave probably made a mistake by spilting his forces on this map. I was able to isolate his czerka and 2 TBSV's. I used knight speed to kill the czerka and then used the JWM to get after another. Meanwhile Doombot and Dash went to work on the rest of his squad. I was able to keep and hold gambit. Dave was a real gentleman and in the end Dash did in Xizor from 7 squares away.

2-0

Round 3:

Oppoent: Spencer/Boba Fett

Spencer played Boba BH and Gowk with Jar Jar.

I won map and on to Bespin we went. Spencer is part of the Tulsa crew and I must say they represented themselves very well today. Well this game started went kind of my way. I was able to get rid of Spence's uggies early. Then I was able to get rid of Jar JAr. So around the fourth round it became my squad versus Boba and Gowk. Spence decided to leave Boba to get gambit and that probably is what hurt him in this game. This made it possible for me to send the JWM and Dash at Boba and kill him. After that Gowk was just in trouble all alone. Winning map really hurt Spence. He stated early he had not used Bespin very much I think this might have given me a bit of an unfair advantage.

3-0

Round 4:

Opponent: Justin/Darth Vargas (i think LOL)

Justin played GGDAC, Lancer, IG86 x 2, San

Justin won map and we headed off the ruined base. In the 2nd round I ever so quietly moved my jawa scavenger next to doombot. Doombot also had Dash and the JWM next to him. Because Dash could be towed this kept Justin from activating his Lancer. I then took a chance and towed the JAwa up to the unactivated Lancer needing a 9 to hit. I rolled a 10 goodbye Lancer. Justin then responded by killing our favorite little astromech. Dash then upset to see his friend scattered inpieces mobiled out and destroyed the dastardly IG86. Gowk not to be outdone then ran an end around and killed Justin's uggie. the next round the jawa took out the battle droid officer. this began a pattern inclucing Gowk getting a push on both GGDAC and the last IG86. Even though Iwon the game I must say again what a great guy Justin was all day.

4-0

Round 5:

Opponent: James (of the Tulsa crew)

James played Tarpals, Boba BH (double flame great!?!?!?), Rex, doombot

I won map. I was able to get and move early into gambit even though I was on the outside. I then went after Boba as James was really agressive with him. Dash was able to blow up James' Kel Dor which did kind of kill my gran..... but hey that is what he was there for to take one for the team. Afterwards I was able to base Boba with the Dash man and goodbye Boba. Obi and the JWM then took Rex out of the picture

5-0

Time for the playoffs:

EDIT: Time to finish

Semi -Finals

Opponent: Spence (again)

We get his death star map and he is certainly glad of it. I take the right side and begin by killing one of his uggies early and getting a small lead. I move Gowk to gambit and he begins moving towards the tractor beam area. I move into that area and the fight is on in the next round.I am able to push boba bh and jar jar into the pit. boba makes the save jar jar does not. then spence pushes my obi into the pit. I make the save. The next round is where the game gets interesting. Spence takes a shot on my gowk and first roll is a 20. There were cheers from his fellow Oklahoma players. Spence was excited..... hell I was happy for him (not really I just threw that in there.) So now I have my work cut out for me. I have Dash and the JWM to take out his Gowk and Boba. Well luckily his Gowk is at zero fp's. So I begin using the JWM and Dash to try and kill him. I then also begin manuvering the Jawa Scavenger around to Boba's area. His Boba was at 70 hp at the moment and his gowk at 90. So the next round he wins init and Gowk attacks the jwm and misses. I then bring the jawa around and pop boba bh for 30 dmg. I double gowk and hit twice but he soresus one but I get him down to 70. Boba shoots dash but i evade. dash then hit obi and 4 shots i only manage to hit for 20 dropping his down to 50. I win init and secretly i am getting gambit every round because my noble is sitting there. so i double with my jwm since obi is forceless. I manage to drop obi to 30. I am thrilled. Boba then drops my jwm to 50 (not so great) obi misses the jwm. Dash then goes to work but misses obi. I win init again. obi no force and I finally kill him it was great. Spence kills my dash. and boba starts moving. This is turns out to be the hardest game probably of the day due to the disentigration but it was also the most fun for sure. At this point I begin the movment game on spencer I have plenty of pieces still alive and spencer can only kill one. He heads off for my lobot knowing he is an easy kill. I then use my lobot and lockout to make it difficult for him to get him. Spence spends 3 rounds to get to where he can kill lobot. That 15 points of gambit during that time turns out being huge. HE then kills lobot and my camaasi in the follwoing round. I move my uggie into gambit and keep my 5 points. he then kills my uggie (no points for spence) but the score is now 148-124 and it is my turn. I move the jawa scavenger (yes the superstar of the freakin day) into gambit FTW!!!

SPence was a great opponent and did great!!!!!! just wanted to say that again

I also want to say that the freakin jawa scavenger was a beast. He put boba at 40 so it was dangerous for spence to hang around the jwm and him. he killed the lancer in one shot.... i mean what a guy.

6-0


Finals:

Opponent: James (again)


I win map. JAmes takes inside and you I get outside. James is a terrific guy and we had a great time. The game was almost a mirror of the game we played in regular swiss rounds. I say it was similar just by in the fact I was able to get to boba with the JWM and Dash to kill him. JAmes went after Dash and hit hiim and doombot with double flamethrower.
Bye bye doombot!!! But I figured if he did thatit was worth it. So I tee off on Boba with dash I hit 3 out of 4 times. Boba drops to 60 hp. Now losing doombot doesnt feel so smart. well my JWM is within lightsaber assault range and even though I cant kill Boba I am going to make that punk pay because next round he is going to kill Dash. I LS Assault I hit and then rolled what is it???? a freakin crit!!!!! dead Boba BH.......yay!!!! Of course I only rolled like 3 crits all day and boy that was timed perfectly. After that it was Rex versus Dash, Gowk and JWM.... that is just too much for any one shooter. But James was great about it.

7-0


GENCON BADGE FTW!!!!!

I also traded my four boosters in an recieved my LOTF force RPG book. I love it I now have 5 RPG book and have yet to pay for any of them.


I also would like to state that my map helped my squad a lot today. I won maybe the entire day 15% of all inits I rolled. The funny thing was playing Spence I won every init I need to when Obi was out of force...... strange huh???

I would like to thank Meta Games. I would like to thank the 26 that showed. Everyone was terrific fun to either meet or see again. You guys rock. I would to thank the TUlsa crew for showing after a long day they were still all smiles and did awesome!!!

Ray I would like to say to you "the next time I bribe you! you better make sure that there cannot be any disentigrations during my games!!!!!"

Great stuff guys

That does sound like a truely epic game between you two. Even early D's aren't an excuse to give up. What a great finals game, for the players and everyone watching : )

james is actually jamesbrown1976
