I hate it for you, but those are some of the most fun games I have ever played!
I cant tell you how many times I start off on top real fast, and then one poor movement decision and everything falls to pieces.
Speaking of Kota, I was getting my teeth kicked in by a Imp BFBH squad, and my buddy was DESPERATELY trying to Big D my Kota (for good reason), I was running rebels with K-3PO and I had 1 MD left. I swapped my Gran out for Kota (the Gran was within 3 of Boba, who was at 50 on the nose). I repulsed the living pickle Juice out of Boba, killing him.....and about half of my squad.
(I had to, Boba was Flaming, mobiling and chipping away at Kota)
The end result was me winning by a hair, due to Rieekan getting a recon re roll and Clobot getting his reserves: 2 Whiphid trackers.
