still waiting on 1 player to submit their info. If for some reason it isn't in my bloomail today, i'll adjust the start and end time for game #1 for round 4. Thanks for your patience!

NoffyD and I will be rdy to rumble on Monday at 1:00pm ( PST )

That is so cool that something like that can be said on our forums! love it!

Actually, make that 6:00 pm on Sunday (that's 10:00am on Monday for Hi-Fives).

Mando (3pts) defeats Urbanshmi (1pt) : (362-213)

I won map roll so we played on Korriban. Laura set up on the left side.

Highlights: I used Ezra to snipe the Demolitionist and so some early damage on Talia. Maul and Savage were like a wrecking ball approaching gambit. They threw their lightsaber at Ezra, Kanan, Luke and Celeste and did some ealy damage there but missed on one attack so that i got cloaked for the rest of the round. Once Maul and Savage arrived in gambit, they took out Kanan and did some repulsing with their teamwork. Luke did a lot of damage to Ezra and Sabine finished off Ezra and did 40 dmg to Laura's Sabine, while Luke rolled amazing at his save to avoid grenade damage. Ahsoka was constantly picked on by the Nightsister Hunters. She got bludgeoned by one of them early on and activated her. Latter Ahsoka finally got to take a turn and did some damage to Talzin. After that the other Nightsister also Bludgeoned Ahsoka and activated her again. Celeste Morne was my mvp and did a lot of damage vs Talzin and Maul and Savage and turned a Killik into a Rakghoul. That Rakghoul almost turned one of the Nightsister Hunters into a Rakghoul and in an attemptvto start a Rakghoul infestation. Luke used Lightsaber Protection a lot to reduce damage from Maul and Savage and the Nightsister Hunters. Laura's Ezra did an amazing move early on in round 2 to Force Domninate a Nightsister Hunter to deal 60 dmg to my Sabine, who had to play hide and go seek for a while and took away my advantage of Traps. I did roll pretty well on inits all game but poorly on some attacks, especially with Ezra who loved to roll low numbers. He did use False Transmission on Savage and Maul to allow Artoo to get past them and deal some damage to Talia.

Overall, a fun game and Laura has a very inventive and fun squad! Maul and Savage were a pain to deal with and their Unstoppable SA made it so that Kanan had no defense vs their onslaught. I outactivated Laura at the start of the game and my door control cut off half of her squad from the action in round 1, so i was able to attack early with Kanan and Ezra in round 1 and 2. Force Meditation on Atris came in very handy at taking away the attack +4 boost from Maul and Savage and Mother Talzin's canon shot. Good game and well done on Laura getting the 1pt! it was closer than it looked at the end. Ahsoka was near death and Celeste was my only main damage dealer left. GG!
