Scores finally updated!!!

Also, due to gencon, we are pushing this round an extra week or so.

It was a good game, to bad the first turn of the first round I lost a T-1 before it could do anything. Stupid Tarkin CE letting his team go 3 times on the first activation. HK did his thing good, just not good enough to take on 3 storm commandos and weir. Good match, bad first turn for me.

yes there is one on gamers against Jedi_Master

I set up on detention block, yodaman on the engineering bay. his tile didn't have any doors so i was able to use my pre-round attacks and init win to kill leia and then wedge before he could play a unit. He blasted three of my mice which i had used (in futility) to block his jaina charge and charged in with her to kill an unactivated A Series droid. From there though she was in trouble from the last A series and the IG-86 who, together, were able to kill her within the first round. yodaman saw he wasn't likely to get any points from there and conceeded within the first round. Neither jaina nor wedge were able to make any save they made which did nothing to help his chances so the rolls did not go his way. Good game

What a game. It swung drastically both ways. It started off with a couple of taps of lesser characters and then I moved Wicket up to open the first door to let Arica in for a Blaster Barrage. She put 40 on The Dark Woman, killed the uggie, put 20 on Mace - who reflected 10 back to her - and crucially missed an attack on R2 needing 4 to leave him at 10 HP. Crumb then towed Mace into my forces and took a couple of AoOs from my Storm Commandos, taking another 40 damage. He then proceeded to put 120 on damage on Vader with a crit, but Vader imediately finished him off with Opportunist and LS Assault. Mace couldn't use Force Absorb, so he went down straight away.

From there I thought I had the game. I moved some people up to take on the rest of Crumb's forces, but Jar Jar kept making all his Bombad saves with those rerolls AND force points. Eventually I killed everyone but Yoda, Qui-Gon, and Jar Jar. Vader, one commando, and Wicket fell to redirected attacks from my own guys.

I then had a light-bulb moment. I moved Tarkin up to Yoda so Jar Jar couldn't draw fire. I then swapped him out for my remaining Storm Commando and put some damage on Yoda; he already had taken some damage from Arica's second barrage. Qui-Gon died to Arica's remaining force point. I swapped Arica in next round after shooting him again, and got him down to 20 HP. I then needed to win init and kill him and essentially end the game. Good ol' Vassal dice. I got a 1 on my init roll and lost Arica. Thankfully, I managed to swap in my Storm Commando and kill that lil' green menace and take away Jar Jar's free rerolls.

From there, I spent ages trying to get my guys out of Bambad Gungan range, knowing that with my high-damage attacks, I would end up killing whomever Crumb chose thanks to Jar Jar's force points from The Dark Woman and Qui-Gon. I eventually managed to get my one commando and Thrawn out of the 6-square area of suicide and had Jar Jar make most of his saves. Unfortunately, most wasn't enough and Thrawn killed him after ducking around a corner just out of his range. I was just about pulling my hair out by the end. Crumb made a very good squad, and could easily have won if his last few rolls had been good. Good game!

I wasn't planning on using detention block, but since Darth O couldn't see the dormer car tile, I had to choose another one. That might have lost me the game, but we'll never know!

Darth O really had some unlucky and hilarious bad rolls, like:
Arica's blaster barrage on R2
The init of 1 so I could kill Arica with Yoda

I made 1 crucial mistake at the beginning of the game, which was moving Mace up, but provoking AoOs. I wasn't used to the Detention block map, so I didn't know that he could've moved up without those! I thought that there was a wall where there wasn't.

I also should've kept mace back until Darth O had done his acts, but I was in such a hurry to take out Vader with his sweeping.

A good move that I did was to Force Defend against Vader's lightsaber sweep. He had used that and rage or assault, so I forced him to waste his turn with that move. Then I just double attacked him with Yoda, and the real threat was eliminated. (Even though Darth O doesn't think that he was that big of a threat to that squad)

Jar Jar rolled big whenever he attacked, and did about 30-50 damage total in the whole game.

(Also, Darth O thought the game was over (literally) once I failed the Bombad Gungan save, and forgot to roll his attack, but I reminded him and he failed the attack! That was really funny for me.

It was a great game, and remained close the whole time. CONFIRMED!

Confirmed. I might've won if it weren't for the fact that I misunderstood targeting with Stealth and super-stealth, as I haven't played a game where I encountered it in a long time; I lost my Speeder because I thought it was safe when it wasn't, and that single strafe could have very well won me the game. I don't think I won initiative once the entire game, so my squad lost half its power it had with Cunning +20, and Tarkin letting MT activate 3 characters didn't help either. Crummy dice rolls all around, save for the crit on my one AoO on Vader. I also second-guessed myself about which squad to use, and had I used one of my super-stealth death-shot squads, it also might have turned out differently, but I didn't, so it didn't. Good game, though. Closest one so far.

Wow. My deepest sympathies

Well this round bit the dust. Anybody up for an open round format? (all types available but each kept track of separately?)

I don't think open round is such a good idea because, if people play legal game types with point costs other than 200 (e.g. Dynamic Duo, 150s, EPIC, etc.), the total points earned would be skewed and couldn't be scaled to a singular number (like 200) accurately (for example, multiplying the point totals of a Dynamic Duo game by 2 would not be an accurate representation of the end result of the game had it been 200 points, similar to how scaling back the totals of an EPIC 500 would not be accurate), and keeping track of the different totals for different game types and then figuring out a way to combine them for a points total at the end would be a nightmare. You could just let this round keep going but let people play standard 200 skirmishes (Gambit rules) as well.
