I came 10th. I lost to Jason with his double lancers and Dean (dnemiller) with a final record of 4-2. I played a more beefed up version of my Regional squad

Han GH
Mara
Ganner
Kyp
Lobot
Dodo
R7
uggie
Mouse

The idea was to forgo activations for extra beef against this squads greatest struggle, skybuck. It alters its strat by using Kyp as the 1st strike rather than Mara, so Mara plays mop up which is a much better role for a 45 point fig. Most of the time i brought in Garindan for spotter 30 on Han and Mara with an r7 or more activations.

1st round match escapes me. I just need to remeber the guys name an it will come back. I think it was a NR match v Kyle which i won due to a couple of fortunate inits.
1-0

2nd match was against jason (urban jedi) and his double lancers. On my map, (ruined base), him on the inside me on the outside.
1st 2 rounds were him strafing me down to 5 figs by sacrificing his Lancers. The rest of the game was a back and forth battle around the central rooms. Jason used his fodder screen well to get close enough to Zap while avoiding a suicidal FP5. I got his IG down to 20 with Kyp but missed the kill shot (needed 12s on 3 out of 4 rolls so it was a long shot and in hindsight the wrong option, should have FP5 an uggie adjacent to grievous so Han would have finished grievous sooner). Sid zapped Ganner then Han but Mara assaulted for the Kill but she got finished by a Grievous IG tag team. Grievous killed Ganner but was down to 10 hp. I had a shot for the game needing a 9 on grievous follwed by a 7 on the IG with Han but ended up needing both rolls to kill Grievous. In any case Han was killed by an Uggie.
close game.
1-1

3rd game was another NR match against Ruben with him using Kyle Mara, Ganner Dash and wedge. Cagey match for 2 rounds as we were maneuvering around the center fo the 1st attack. I outactivated him so It behooved me to wait for him to tap out before advancing. Ruben was hesitant to do anything because he saw no good options but once we got into it and started trading pieces things happened quickly. I took out his Ganner with mara after he went after Kyp and then won init and took out his Mara. Dash layed a beating on Mara but was quickly killed by Kyp. Han and Garindan went to work on Kyle. Kyle went down after killing Kyp and then Ruben conceded just before time and said I deserved the 3 point for his slow play earlier. A Classy move he didn’t need to do but which I really appreciated. Also a big thanks to Brad(celestial warrior) who was there as judge and made the call for a 3 point win which he also didn’t have to do so big thanks all round.
2-1

4th game pitted me against Matt Hanson with a Kyle Mara Ganner TBSV wedge squad. Took Garindan and R7 and an uggie meaning I outactivated him by a few. Set up happened faster this time and I risked init for a chance to assault his TBSV in the turbolifts. He won the init by had to take an AoO with from Kyp with Mara inorder to assault Kyp and so decided on a Jolt instead combining with wedge. The shot hit but the jolt was saved and that killed the TBSV from a kyp assault. Kyp ran and mara went for him only to be assaulted by a levi mara. The area became a choke point with fodder, I set up Garindan for spotter and finished Mara with a Han 1-2. Mara got beaten down to 10hp and she assaulted kyle before being levied out. The next round Han put 90 on and mara finished. Somewhere in the middle of that Kyp killed Ganner and Wedge.
3-1

5th game was against dean with a skybuck dash, lobot squad. He braough all swap fodder squad on the Ruined base (his map) I took the inside. This was fast and frustrating. 1st round was positioning and Dean was lamenting he was being too passive. He might have been right as I managed to get a shot with han on both R2 and lobot. Needed a 7 and a 1 to get 3-0 overrivde but only got the doombot. Dean moved up to come through bottom one square door in the central wall. I moved my squad up there so Yobuck would either take lots of AoOs getting throughto Han or Mara would get a chance on a garindan spot assault that would potentially leave Yobuck with 10 left needing 4s and above (anything but a 1 for the 1st 60dmg). I got the assault chance but rolled double 1’s on the 1st 2 so I only did 60 rather than 120-150. Dash assaulted Mara and killed her needing 6s on all 4 shots, kyp tried to return the favour needing 5’s on all 4 but failed 2 out of 4. That left dash alive and he swapped out, Yobuck enough HP to run through kyp taking 40 and hitting han for 40. Han put another 40 on Yobuck. Skywalker momentumed Kyp. As the start of the next round Skywlaker momentumed Han to death and I failed to put the last 40 on yobuck. Dash smoked Ganner and that was night,night. Its my toughest matchup and I felt I put myself in good positions it just didn’t swing my way.
3-2

Last was Aginst lou on the Jedi temple playing the same squad as Dean. I set up insideon the bottom just wanting to get into is as fast as possible. We moved to the center and I levied Kyp to try and finish r2 and his lobot added BGD but missed the 2nd swing on r2. That meant Anakin got towed over my diplomat and momentumed han after Dash had finished Kyp. I assaulted Skywalker and finished him with a push. But yobuck killed han. Yobuck galloped off after init so I pressed forward. I managed to get far enough forward that I got a levi assault on dash leaving Panaka, scrubs yobuck v ganner, mara, Garindan and some scrubs. The next round Mara finished Panaka so Yobuck had to run into the action. That enabled garindan to spot for dodonna putting 40 on yobuck. I won init and then assaulted yobuck with a garindan spot. Rolled 1 miss but the 60 dmg spot hit made the miss irrelevant.
4-2

I was frustrated with my performance. Both losses seemed very close at times but essentially there were things I could’ve done differently to possibly take the win in either case but it just wasn’t to be. I needed Dean and Jason to win their last matches but as soon as I heard they were both 4-2 I knew I was out of the top 8. My 10th place, behind both Jason (8) and Dean (9) showed that.
