This is a variation on a squad that I already have posted where I dropped 3 Battle Droids and a Geno Overseer and added the Chameleon as my "melee interference." ;)
First fight got me down a little. I went against a theme squad that really had no chance. :(
Imp Knight x3, Marasiah Fel, Jagged Fel, Emperor Roen Fel, Antares Draco, and Moff Morlish Veed. Looked cool out in the playing feild, but she even said herself she didn't expect to win and was just there to have fun. Now, however cool that was, with the swiss style DCI rankings, I think that hurt me more then anything as she went on to go 0-4.
I won map, she gave me side choice, and the whole game took about 10 rounds and was over. I don't think I took any damage.. Though she may have killed a Battle Droid or something.
1-0
Second round was the same person Omnus played 3rd round. Kyle, Mara, Luke FS, Wedge, Jaina, Han Smug, Uggies.
I won map, and without thinking chose mine. In my opinion, this cost me the game. He chose the better side and hauled up in gambit out of LOS. If I had gone for his map (Ruined Base) at least I could have gotten LOS to SOMETHING.
I have to say this was the most boring game I've ever played. MY opponent activated really slow and just.. sat there. I ran Chameleon up, tried to lure out Mara or Kyle. No bite... I then planned to leave Chameleon up in gambit and then wait for the last round and dash GG, DAC up as he was the most expensive piece on the board and would win me the tie breaker in gambit... But.. After 45 minutes of spinning one piece over and over again (Dodonna vs. San Hill) I got board and took some risks. He got some kills directly because of those risks and won the game by 18 points.
MOST BORING GAME EVER.
1-1
Then I played a guy with a republic commando squad. Gen Obi (+4/+4), RC, Training Seargent, Tarpals, Sev x2, Fixer, Scorch, Boss, Gungan Shieldbearer.
Won map and after my troubles with my map and stealth last time I defaulted to his Crystal Caverns map. He chose the side I wanted him to. Round one was us getting into reach/LOS of eachother (Obi/commandos and GG, DAC/T3/Gah/IGx2 in main room to one side of map, and IGx2 chasing after the Tarpals/Training Seargent he had hidden on the other side), no attacking happened. Second round I tossed some shots that got sheilded, and he did some shooting that missed horribly. Then.. At the end of round 2.. He surprised me. For his final activation, he walked Gen Obi (using Knight Speed to get around the Chameleon) within 6 of GG, DAC.... But.. He was completely out in the open about 4 squares from my pair of unactivated IG's.. Needless to say Obi lived about 25 seconds (four die rolls..). The guy was blind-sided. That same init, I killed Tarpals and the Training Seargent. After that we just dinked around a lot. I had some trouble killing the Shieldbearer (Activated GG, DAC twice and the BG Droid I got from San's 1 on init once) but he fell in the end. After that it was just clean up on all the commandos. Was a fun game.
2-1
Final match! :)
Played a friend (don't know your bloomilk user and don't want to post your name on the web w/o permission, sorry!), but he played Boba, BH.. With Nyna and a TON of Keldors + Czerka.
We both had the hard map, he rolled lower so he chose the "good side."
I really thought this was going to be it. BUT. I desided to get a little crazy and boy did it pay off! I immediately started advancing with the Chameleon and kept everyone else out of LOS. Second round I was about 10 sq from his start area with Chameleon and he moved multiple Keldors adjacent hoping he'd fail mines saves and blow me up (I didn't take MANY AOs so that the Kel's would live). So far I'd taken about 30 on IG's from various Keldors but they were having trouble hitting. Init round three.. I win! Yay! Using a diagonal movement I started with a wall diagonal, and ended with a wall diagonal so thanks to wallclimber, the Keldors didn't prevent me from moving into his start. (See pic as I cannot describe the movement right)

After moving out of all the Keldors I walked another 4 squares, found Nyna out of cover and removed her from command. After that we traded blows.. Only notable moment that I thought was pretty cool was a got Boba down to 30hp, at which point he was unable to fail an evade save.. So I moved GG, DAC out into a spot to tempt him to take a couple shots. He moved out to do so just as I wanted, but did not have enough movement to be non-adjacent to a Keldor. Next activation I moved an IG in from behind and killed the Kel, bringing Boba down with him. :)
That game was both really challenging and really fun. :c)
Ended 3-1, and took 4th place. Got Princess Leia from A&E to add to my trade stock!
