The urbans' squads are in.

Who's missing? I want pairings!

I thought we got pairings before submitting our squad updates?

squads get submitted first because then people can't add a specific counter to their squad because of their knowledge of what the opponent is running. You do have the knowledge that eventually you will face everyone in the division, but you don't know when and what they will ultimately have added to their squad in rounds 2-4. In round 2, the only information everyone can be sure of having on what their opponent is going to run is what is in the original 100pt squad in round 1.

Overley28 and I will be playing on Tuesday at 6:00pm central.

jedi and i will be playing at tuesday 9:30pm central

Mando (3pts) defeats spryguy1981 (1pt) : (162-98)

I won map roll and we set up on Ravaged base. Matt took the left side.

Round 1: positioning and getting into gambit for the most part.

Round 2: I get my guys into gambit and i'm all done with activations. Kir Kanos gets swapped in and twin attacks Din Djarin and lands a crit for 50 dmg, which i reduce to 40 with the beskargam and then Kir does another 30 dmg which i don't reduce and so Din Djarin takes 70 total getting him to 80 hp. I use Venku's CE to land 70 dmg back onto Kir Kanos getting him down to 40. Joak takes a shot at Din and lands a 30 dmg hit which i reduce to 20 with beskar and that triggers Tribe Intervention, so Mira finishes off Kir Kanos. Saberan locks the door with override, keeping Din and the DW guy locked in the room.

Round 3: Saberan unloads on Venku with double twin cunning and lands a crit but thankfully Venku is able to Lightsaber Deflect to shot and he is now at 20hp. I blow up the door with my DW Saboteur and then Venku twin attacks Saberan Macross and takes him out with his 60 dmg total thanks to Protective +10. Venku mobile attacks away and hides in a safe spot in gambit. I move my Crusader to open the door to where Lumiya and a mouse droid are hiding and Mira lobs in some grenades, dealing 20 to Lumiya and taking out the mouse droid. Din Djarin joins the fun and lands another 60 dmg on Lumiya. Lumiya attacks Din and lands 30 dmg, bringing him to 30hp. Din counter pushes her away bringing her to 10hp.

Round 4: Matt wins init with the MT and uses Lumiya to attack Din djarin, defeating him but also taking the 10 counter push damage, defeating her. Mira does some damage to Joak who the uses presumed dead to end up in the starting zone. Venku takes out Mas Ameda who was opening a door and mobile attakcs away but can't get far enough away even with knight speed to escape the los of Joak. Joak then goes after Venku and lands a hit but thankfully Venku again makes his Lightsaber Deflect save and avoids death. My DWS tries to get some damage in on thrawn but fails.

Round 5: Joak lands a 30 hp shot on Mira. I eventually am able to take out Joak with my DWS and Mira leaving just Thrawn the only damage option for Matt. Venku lands 40 dmg on Thrawn from range with Protective +10 and twin. Thrawn takes an AOO to try and land some damage on Mira but takes a crit on the AO from my DWS. Had the crit not landed, Thrawn would have taken out Mira most likely next round on the won init, making the game even closer in sore. In the end, i had a full hp DWS, a porg and 20hp Venku Skirata left.

Good game and some really nice rolls on both sides. That crit on Din Djrin early on was big and made it so Din died just a little earlier than i was hoping. I was able to make both deflect saves with Venku which really made it possible for me to win the game, as Venku was my ultimate mvp in the game.

It was a great game, jedi played with lots of skill and definitely deserved the win. In rd 3 I took out reva with the hunter, not asajj leaving her to whack vader faster.

Any update on scheduling for the last match?
