============
This one is quite a bit more complex since you have to get all the way across the board. It means you need to provide a play by play. Also note that the dice rules have changed considerably from contest #1. Anyone can post squads for any factions. The contest ends after someone's entry stands for 24 hours with no one beating it. If we wind up with duplicate squads, credit for duplicate squads will be the first one posted here... so optimize your squad before posting, since someone could make a quick adjustment (even by just lowering the cost of the squad) and take the lead. But don't wait too long... the clock is ticking!

Honorable Mention to whoever winds up with the best squad for the most different factions.

SCENARIO

Squad size: 200 points
Goal: Your goal is to defeat the enemy in as few rounds as possible. Tiebreaker is fewest activations within the round (as I expect most will figure out a way to win in one round). Second tiebreaker is the lowest cost squad.

Opponent location:
There is one enemy.
You are playing on Offworld Cargo Docks: http://www.bloomilk.com/Forums/default.aspx?g=posts&t=12870

You are starting in the right-hand starting zone.
Your enemy is located inside the left lift in the bottom left corner (so the doors are shut to start, and also note that there is a door below the Crane Tower).

Enemy stats:

Target
Cost: 200
HP: 50
Def: 21
Atk: 0
Dmg: 0

Special Ability:
Unique
Evade

Force Powers:
Force 1000
Counter Push 2
Master of the Force 2
(Note that his Counter Push will prevent a Melee attacker from getting a second attack on the same turn, and it may push a shooter out of line of sight to prevent additional attacks.)

On his turns, the opponent just spins the Target without doing anything else. If attacked, the Target will use Evade and Counterpush if possible, but otherwise does nothing. The favored directions for push are: right if possible, then up, then down, then left. If the opponent wins initiative, he will choose to go first.


Assumptions about luck/die rolls:
You roll a 20 for initiative. Your opponent rolls a 19. Every die roll is one lower than the previous die roll, so your first roll during the game will be 18 and it will go down from there. (When it gets down to 1, the next die roll goes back to 20.) If you and your opponent have simultaneous die rolls, such as during initiative, your roll comes first.


Sample
Submissions for this contest will require more detail as you need to specifically list all of your activations. One naive solution is below.

My squad consists of only Cad Bane.

Round 1
1. Cad begins near the bottom right just below the large container. He moves 12 squares to finish on the bottom row just below the second large container.
* Opponent spins

Round 2
1. I win init 18-17. Cad moves 10 squares to finish in the second row from the bottom, next to the door below the Crane Tower.
*Opponent spins

Round 3
1. I win init 16-15. Cad moves 8 squares to open the lift door.
*Opponent spins

Round 4
1. I win init 14-13. Cad moves 1 square to base the target. Attacks target. Attack roll is 12, which hits for 20dmg. Counter Push gives Cad 20dmg and moves Cad up and then right. Cad makes his Twin Attack and rolls 11, which is a hit. Evade roll is 10, so not evaded - 20dmg to Target (40total). Cad takes 20dmg (40 total) from Counter Push, which moves him right 2 squares. Cad can no longer see the target, so no Double Attack.
*Opponent spins

Round 5
1. I win init 9-8. Cad moves to open door.
*Opponent spins

Round 6
1. I win init 7-6. Cad moves to base target. Attack roll is 5, which hits for 20dmg. Target's Counter Push deals 20dmg back to Cad, but the Target is defeated.

This is a really bad submission, but my squad consists of Cad Bane (all by himself) and I finished in the first activation of round 6.

Correct. The different factions was to make sure we got to see more than just one specific type of build, but everyone was posting stuff for various factions anyway, so it doesn't seem important.

Quinlin is awesome


R2 9
Mas 8
Panaka 23
Amanin Scout 13
Quinlin Vos Double Agent 39

R2 starts behind the Amanin Scout and tows (pushes the scout up) so that the Scout is in the last square below the large container on the bottom of the map and R2 is right behind him. R2 Overrides the Door open. Amanin runs (with wheeled form) 18 squares to be adjacent to the turbolift door. Panaka swaps in Quinlin up who steps adjacent and rolls a 18 on attack (crit from vaapad plus assassin so 50 damage). Takes 20 form counter push and lives to see another day!!!

92 Pts, killed him on the 4th activation of the skirmish (r2, amanin, panaka, quinlin).

updated my squad, down to 92 points

I came up with an Imp build that can do it in 97 pts (8 characters 6th activation)

here is an image for some help red line is where you start and the yellow box is where your opponent is.

Hope tht helps

Your welcome :3

what about the opponents counter push?

I can a fun Rebels (including a failed evade save for the kill) for 144

3x Zyg 24
4x Rodian 12
Squib Trader 10
K3P0 20
Han Smuggler 27
Princess Leia 20
Momaw Nadon 15
Dr E. 16


1 Zygs and 1 rodian set up as in the Imp formation. Zyg 3 starts wherever. Zyg 4 starts just above the brown 2x2 box (almost the middle of the map). Momaw starts by him. Rodian 2 starts on top the gray circle art (4 squares in in the 1 wide passage). DR E. Starts to his right. the last 2 rodians and the squib start adjacent to DR E and line up in the 2nd square (each of them next to one of the yellow difficult terrain squares). Every one else doesn't matter where they start. Zyg and Rodian on the bottom go same as Imperial build to get the rodian next to the door. Squib goes and gives a rodian relay orders. Momaw goes and War Throats (which would normally kill 3 rodians and the squib) and DR E saves them all with avoid defeat (18,17 16,15, 14,13 for the 3 adjacent rodians and 12,11 for the squib). Zyg 3 goes and hits the rodian with relay orders and he runs so he is in one of the squares to the left of the 2x3 grey cargo container which is 10 or 11 depending on which suare he starts in. Zyg 4 goes and runs 6 down the row of 2x2 cargo containers and hits the same rodian who runs 12 more toward the open door. Then the rodian goes and runs through the dorr and around the corner so he is still holding the door open. Then K3P0 goes and swaps Han for the rodian who was originally holding the door open (not the one with relay orders). Han then runs up and opens the turbolift door (staying within 6 of the rodian with relay orders). Leia goes and gives Han the attack (roll is 10 which makes a 28 for 50 with Leia's +4+10) and the target fails the evade (with a 9).

Whew.
