NTMTO + Lobot (MTB) turns off Jason's MTB and gives him a 1 for init: 0 Reserves. Han CotMF by himself cuts him down to his regular 25% chance for Reserves. If that's the meta, Pong dies. If that's not the meta, that squad really is pretty nuts. I don't think Jason got lucky - I think the addition of the MTB was genius and the squad really is that good. San Hill is pretty tough too, right? You feed your opponent 20 points of reserves each round.

But on average you're getting more Reserves than your opponent even if you feed them 20 per round.

Seeing everyone and having some good conversations with Jason, Lou, Ultrastar, ATMSalad and Lily Wan in particular.
Meeting Naarkon...a fine young man.
Swapping Grampa stories with Jak, and setting a regional record of the most grampas to play in a regional at 2 with him.
Yet another great road trip with one of the finest people I've met in my entire life, Thereisnotry, and delving into some great theological discussions with him.
Going 3-1 and finishing 5th despite only playing 2 games total in the last year.
Rolling dice with the Fist of Glory.
Finally seeing my skiff played. Thanks to DrakDracul for the polish on the design among others, and to Lou and DeathsBaine for bouncing ideas off of beforehand.
Thanks to this fine community for continuing to breath life into this game. Now get off my lawn. This made me smile bigger then any post on this site ever. (Except for when i used to mess with Bill, i miss you bill) You sir are an outstanding gentleman and for you to thank me is huge to me and I consider it the greatest accomplishment I have ever had in minis. Thank YOU, sir. I wasn't just being polite. I went to you and Lou because you two were voices I'd heard complain about the lack of help melee had. You came from 2 different play groups and I thought that I could get a well rounded opinion formed as to how to build the skiff. I don't normally play melee...or jedi. I try to have a mix in my squads because it's how I like to play, but all or mostly melee squads isn't my strongpoint. Now on to other projects. Seeing Ultrastar at the regional I've come to the conclusion that his beard is tier one and needs to be nerfed. Any ideas? CE - Only characters without a beard may order a thin crust, pepperoni pizza. My work here is done. Note to self: Eat pizza with Ultrastar at GenCon. You are on Jim!

I actually enjoyed my game with jason even though we played an hour long game it was fast paste lots of combat and removing of characters from me board. our game could of went either way. the other game I really enjoyed was against trevor and his jango fett squad because it felt like both of us were trying to kill off each other's squad.

Caedus hopped on a nearly destroyed Skiff to join me towards center map, where most of my survivors were. a Aol Jedi ran and destroyed the Skiff. Caedus needed a save 6 to survive,poor Joe rolled a 5. after that, a wounded Bane fell, and I amazingly won  1-1, 3 pts more later I think this counts as later... 3Rd RD vs Bronson. he expertly played a tempo control, yaslarmi, Thrawn squad. after killing Arica, I didn't kill anything other than scrubs. Beyween the bubble, and all the cannon fodder, I just couldn't get to any important pieces. Like shmi 15 said, my jedis could hardly breath. 1-2, 4 pts 4TH RD vs Steven(narkon) I unloaded the skiff and battle was joined in the middle.Sent the rookies on an end around to come up from behind.Jedi slayed Warb, and went to engage the other Sith from the front. Cognus hindered my Jedis way too much. doctrine of fear, force suppression, and sith spell, totally pissed me off Ommin made me be careful where I landed. I had to kill her! every, and I mean every attack was parried until she broke away to try to stop Val, coming from the right, from getting to the meat of his squad. Cog took 3 AoO, and finally failed some parries. when she got to Val, he finished her. I had point lead most of the game, but when Val got killed, I thought I lost. we added our points. he had 111, and I had 112. I also had 3 rounds of gambit, so it wasn't as close as it first seamed. great game, with a great guy. 2-2, 6 pts
