I should start making some squads for a tourney on a weekend...

I sent my squad list in last night, how will we initiate communication? Do I skye some one or do you guys skype me? Do I bloomail you my phone number?

Got it

Alright we just wrapped on the Core Worlds Open, thanks to everyone who participated. It was a blast.

Will post more later, after 4 rounds of swiss the final standings were...

1. ScruffyHan 3-1 with 8pts
2. TimmerB 3-1 with 7pts
3. DeathsBaine 2-2 with 5pts
4. TheUltrastar 2-2 with 5pts
5. Deathwielded 2-2 with 5pts

Will post more later including the squads that were used from round to round, for now I am spent!

The official winner was ScruffyHan, though I believe Tim and ScruffyHan are going to play a match between themselves since they didn't get to square off in the tournament. Once again thanks to everyone who participated. Great way to spend a Monday!

unfortunately my wife was sick during this tournament and right before the final game I had to leave to take her to the doctors, sucks because I had a chance to win this thing :) it was fun everyone love this format.

Is she doing better now? I have been praying for her.

I'll read it. Interested to know what people ran.

First round I played against TheUltraStar and he ran his Father and Son rebel squad with Han Smuggler, Luke Commando, ect. Marn, Gha Nackt, Aniken force Spirit, Dadonna, General Crix Madine and two ERC's were there too.
I was running my The Horn of Strength 2.0
Ultra won map and picked Ancherhead. I picked the left side.
I had Lobot so I brought in Mamow and Scrumb. He decided not to take Scrumb with Bribery and brought in the Nikto Pirate instead.
First I learned the importance of activation control, even though I had Dadonna too, he definitely had control. I had Corran JM move into gambit and guard the door that my opponent would need to come through. (Jedi Reflexes would hurt)I made a big mistake leaving Lobot in LoS, as cover wasn't enough against Hans Accurate shot. (which I forgot about) Thanks to Lukes Levitation. Leia makes Han pop another shot at my Luke GH which I block with Lightsaber Defense.
next after I was completely out activated he began the attack
ultra used one of his two ERC's to attack Corran, hitting,but Ultra thought they had opportunist instead of Cunning which they had and only did 10 damage. then he overrided the door closed were Corran was.
Round one ended with me getting Gmabit (5 points) and Ultra with 27 points.
Round 2 Ultra won int and levitated Han back to safty. I then began moving some uggies to blow open the door to release Corran, but Ultra opened thew door and used his ERC's to attack Corran after moving Crix to Disrupt him (so I don't have Evade. Some damage, but not much as I was hard to hit, Han got his chance though and I absorbed his shot putting my back at full HP. Some Jockeying for position, but not much other than he decided to use Rieken as a meat shield to slow Corran down (who without GMA wasn't going to do much) Corran moved up and hit him for 30.
Round 3. Ultra won int. I decided I needed to take out Crix or Corran would be near useless, so after Utra Levitates Reiken back to safty I levitated Momaw closer to corran and had him use War throte to kill two mice his Nikto Pirate and put 10 damage on Corran and Crix, then I had Luke GH (who was safe and didn't do much at all until now) used Knight speed and caught Crix and aced him. Some minor moves happened next, but I shoulda moved my Klat Capt as Han could move to Accurat shoot him, so Han moves and misses with a low roll (critical miss?) then Ultra used Leia to get the second shot to ice the Klat, which he did as I failed Evade.

We finished the round, but time wasn't my ally. I lost with 32 to his 45. Close match, One more round and Corran woulda earned his keep to be sure! Same with Luke. But we already took what? An hour and a half to do three rounds?

Great game were I learned alot about tournament play. Gambit was mine the whole match and if I didn't leave Lobot out it would have been much different. (same with the Klat)

Thats just about how the first match went, maybe some confusion on when attacks to Corran was made

Match 3
Me verses ScruffyHan

I was running my Mando Resurrection

and he was using Yobuck, Cad Bane, Marn, Lobot, Panaka (for Swapping) Dombot and Mas (some acts too)

For my Reinforcements I picked the LIN and two Mice.
He stole my 2 mice and had Lobot bring in lotsa acts. Putting me at 10 acts and him at 17 acts.
So once again I was out activated lol.

He won map roll and picked Grand Plaza with me on the Left and him on the right.

Round 1 I was out activated and I forgot Resol'nare which I never got to use this skirmish cuz I kept forgetting.
After I was all out he had Doombot carry out Yobuck and had Yoda move all the way out a to kill a my tech then swapped him out for Cad who all, but finished my Tech off (thanks to Cad only having 10 attack against non-uniques) from there it was all down hill, a total loss with my only picking up 5 points from gambit. I made SOOO many mistakes that game. My Trio were untouchable (Kelborn, Fenn Shysa and MtR since Fenn had Bodyguard and his CE) but the rest of my squad was slaughtered. I killed some tech, but they gave no vp's.

If I woulda used Resol'nare like I was supposed to I could done much better. (my tech were doomed no matter what I woulda done.)
I did get Yoda on Kybuck down to 90 hp though

I didn't get to watch any other games, but I know Bane was played and so was a squad with Kyle, Jan and Tech with Gantoris and Exar, DFS that won against a squad with Revan SL and Kaan.
