wait if Thereisnotry and theultrastar wont be here for this round why not have Amadeus and Obiwan1knight play? then TinT and Ultra can get a half point or whatever

I will definitely be here, not sure how that came up.

We will be holding a regional, it will however be in this format. No one in our playgroup still desires to play the standard minis format. Deaths_Baine and Shmi15 were done with standard minis long before me, but continued to play for my sake all the way through this past season. For us it's just come to a point where standard minis are not fun anymore. So instead of stopping altogether, we created this alternate version to play, and intended to keep it just as a TN playgroup thing, but through playtesting we found that it was such a blast that we decided to open it up to the world, because we know there are more people like us who have just become disenchanted with standard minis.

Okay so me and Dieandbemetal had our match last night.
And man let me tell you up front it was pretty crazy
I was running
*New* Boba (or Bob as we took to calling him)
*New* Calo Nord
*New* Capt Nico
*New* Czerka
*New* Charda Fan Slicer
Wicket
Lobot
3 Uggies
an R7

For Reinforcements I pulled in 2 more uggies and a Czerka Shield Tech
(i had planned on either DR E or Bossk, saving Momaw in case of swarms, as I needed another attacker but the Shield Tech was extremely useful)

and Die was running a Charging Bounty Hunter Seps squad:
Cade Bane Bounty Hunter
*New* Durge
*New* Bossk
Aurra Sing (V-set)
Greedo (V-set)
*New* Charda Fan Slicer
2 Mice and other tech.

We rolled for map and Die won picking Peaceful City (which surprisingly we had both picked)
I set up on the left him on the right.

the opening INT rolls were 20's then then a re-roll with him a 14 and me a 15.
Yeah this was the start of a pretty crazy match.
So I messed up setting up having Nico and the Elite Czerka 1 square out of position so they couldn't reach the bushes that I needed too.
First round was positioning, but since I didn't quite get were I needed to and I moved Nico pretty early Durge got a quite 40 damage shot off on Nico (couldn't counter shot and missed my shield save) then I took another shot dropping Capt Nico to 30 hp, so I moved Boba and Calo in front of him and adjacent to the Shield tech (the only reason Nico was still alive since the Anti Twin shields were working fine, but my shields 1 saves were crap) so more positioning were Dieandbemetal setup on the lower right side of the map ready to charge me while I setup in the bushes and around the middle door next to gambit.
Door Control BTW was almost totally wasted on both sides. I really didn't need so much Override and most of the time it was totally inconsequential.

Round 2 I win INT and have Nico GMA out to shoot cad bane, both shots miss even with Gamblers luck so I take 10 damage from my own shot. then I move him farther behind Boba and Calo Nord hoping to keep him safe.
So Dieandbe metal sees his opportunity and has Cade Furious assulat my squad hitting my r7 (only for 20, because he missed once) Socked out wicket and an uggie. deals no damage to Calo nord because of shields and Baskargam (not getting twin really hurt) misses Boba, but and here is the clincher, he shot Nico (darn you Sniper!) with his only shot at him and I failed his shields 1 save for the 3rd time in a row, killing him. (we all agreed that Nico had absolutely the worst luck as he failed everything he rolled including his Gamblers luck re-roll and that it was due to how poeple said he was OP so the gods of Vassel decided he wasn't going to make a single good roll)
So Die is now winning, but he made a serious mistake there, now Cad Bane was in range of Bob's Disruptive and none of the Bounty Hunters can charge now, so instead of having Durge charge like he wanted too, he instead moved him behind Cad so he had someone to use Hostage Shield on.
On my turn I move my Shield tech so she still protects Boba, but at the save time messes up Durges Shields 1. Then Boba took 2 shoots at Cad, both hits and Durge Refuses to take the damage. (I didn't know hostage shield had a save, especially even with the ally and that if he rolls 11 or higher he can't tranfer the damage)
so cad is now at 20 hp thanks to blast cannon. Die makes some more moves basically all I remember was Bossk moving behind Durge. On my turn again Calo acts Shooting at Cad bane twice with Double. (he had Hunter on CIS or Seps if you prefer) shooting at +14 for 40 damage a pop. And both hit... Durge as he 'fails' his hostage shield saves. now him and Cad are at 20 hp apiece. some minor moves, during which Die moved his squad behind Cad and Durge, but other than that nothing really remarkable that I remember.
Round 3.
Now here is were the game gets really crazy.
Important Int right?
So we roll and Dieandbemetal wins it, but I had a trick up my sleeve that I was planning on, weather or not I won INT. The Legends version of Quick shot, which lets me make an immediate attack at the start of the round before anyone else activates. so Dropping 40 damage on Cad or Durge if he decides to HS it, either way killing one of them. So then I roll a 20!!! Wow! Only to then realize that my connection had dropped So when I got back I found out that the 20 was rolled right after I got booted well I can't prove it and I felt pretty confident that I can roll a 4 or more to hit so I re-roll and get... a 1. no joke, totally deflated me, not only that, but very shortly after I rolled that I got booted off again. and over the next 5-8 minutes I kept getting booted off and learned over the short breaks that I was still on that Dieandbemetal proposed a roll off to determin if I would be allowed to reroll that 1 since I said I had rolled a 20 right after I got booted off the first time, but before I realized it. So after I fixed the internet (darned Router and little brother messed it up) I made sure it was okay with both parties, then rolled and won the roll off, so I get to roll for the Quick sot attack again.
I then proceeded to roll a 20 critical hit again!!! we couldn't believe it!

well after that Cad dies and Dieandbemetal chooses to go first acting Greedo and has him base Bob(a) and snare him with Snare Rifle. It hits and Boba Takes 20 damage and cannot move for the rest of the round. So on my turn Boba Smokes him since I cannot shoot anyone else even with Accurate shoot (good move on DabM's part) then I decide to act Calo nord, I was thinking about moving him down and using Grenades 40 on his cluster of people hitting 4 or 5 people with it, but with all the crazy high rolls he was getting I decided not to chance it, so Calo Shoots Durge and off's him then I move Calo into Gambit. Boosk moves out and lobs his Thermal Detonator hitting and Killing my Elite Czerka (failed her Shields save) then dropping 30 damage on Boba. Tie was running out so we played as fast as we could, both struggling for Gambit at this point, locking and unlocking the door to get in, but he manages to get DR E in to dropp 30 on Calo, but it's not enough. Near the end of the round Aurra sing Moves out using a force point to move farther and attacks Boba hitting and dropping him to 20 HP, but we remind DabM that since Lightsaber counts as Melee Aurra can get around the Shield Tech's SAand hit him again with twin. Which he does taking Boba out.
that was the last round and we both were at 100 odd points, I win only because I moved Calo into gambit, it was that close.

Crazy, crazy game. I may have missed some stuff and I'm not 100% sure when Bossk threw that Thermal Detonator in the 3rd round, but other than that I think I got the jest of it.

Dieandbemetal was really fun to play against and was really understanding of my mistakes. We had like 4-5 people just watching our game so I hope they had lots of fun too. I'm going to leave a break down of all the Legends pieces played and what we talked about them right below.

How long will this tournament be running? The next massive campaign will hopefully start soon. We planned to wait until this one is over, but I haven't been following this thread closely. I was under the impression it would run 3 or 4 weeks, but it sounds like there's still a long way to go.

We are currently kicking off the 3rd round. We're running 4 round's in this tournament. Plus a top 4 playoff. We will be running another tournament, but it will be somewhere around the first of the year.

Just finished my game with Shmi15 and lost 166-160

I didn't play bad by any means, and he played well enough to win also, but the dice also finally caught up with me, 2 6's or better and I would've gotten over 200pts. I won't post much of a report as I was too busy tracking his score and my score and my brain is fried.

I ran
Rebel Circa 2009
45 Luke's Snowspeeder
36 Legends Chewie
27 Lobot
27 Han-Smuggler
20 Princess Leia
18 C3P0 and R2-D2
14 General Rieekan
6 Mouse x2
6 Uggie x2

Rich had
65 Legends Kyle
48 Luke-GH
33 Legends Ben
29 Ganner
8 R7
9 Uggie x3
6 Mouse x2

I was able to get Luke early with Leia shots and Snowspeeder shots, then the snowspeeder could not hit a 21D for 3 rolls allowing Ben to live. Han was able to kill Ben but in process my Snowspeeder died as Rich made a Bowcaster save for activation then Ganner killed Chewie. Han then needing 6's to kill Kyle rolled 4,4,5 respectively. Thats the extent of it.

would love the play report...

sorry been super busy I played my game with scruffy(douchebag)han he ran:

43 Cad Bane, Bounty Hunter
42 General Grievous, Hero of Hypori
39 Quinlan Vos, Double Agent
33 Aurra Sing, Assassin
27 Lobot
9 Mouse Droid x3
6 Ugnaught Demolitionist x2

I was trying something in the legends set out to see how it would do and if it could be competitive and was trying to get ideas for the next set and dropped:

Legends nomi
Legends Draay
the jedi exile
Carth
Zayne
2 younglings

I wanted to get some information out of this game, but no scruff won map roll chose rancor and proceeded to destroy me. the whole game he talked about how crazy it was that he was destroying me with all vset stuff. I did manage to win in init and kill aurra. scruffy won 3 pts. last time I ever play against him.

I wanted to run all vset pieces just to see how competitive it would be.

Another version that I considered running was
43 Cad Bane, Bounty Hunter
42 General Grievous, Hero of Hypori
39 Quinlan Vos, Double Agent
33 Aurra Sing, Assassin
21 Marn Hierogryph
12 Rune Haako
10 Figran D'an

We have seen an all Legends squad (All fringe, and now even deaths_baine), so I wanted to see an all Vset squad in this format and gauge the power levels. I doubt my squad is the best you can do with all Vset in this format, Separatists were the first faction that jumped to my mind. Hero of Hypori can take on multiple Jedi, deal damage to multiple pieces. He has parry so that's really strong I feel in this format. You have Cad Bane who can shoot multiple pieces with a really solid attack. You have a big damage dealer in Quinlan Vos. You have Aurra who I feel is really versatile in this format. She shoots, she can base you and do 90 damage, and that's all from 12 squares away.

In the end I went with Lobot, the mice and the Uganught Demolitionist because I wanted to play on the side of caution. Though I certainly feel as though my pure Vset version would have performed just as well, especially on Rancor Pen. After running this squad, I am certainly not
going to sit here and say that these vset pieces are too powerful. I will say that I do not feel that the Legends set is any stronger than the V-sets, or the Wizards of The Coast pieces. The designers all did a superb job. I find the selected V-set pieces, and the Legends set to be a nice mixture that blends very well with the 16 Wizards of the Coast sets. I urge those of you who have not done so to really take a hard look at these pieces. Very intelligent work gentlemen.

Well gents, that's all for me. I hope that those of you who read this found your edification to be satisfactory.
