The Republic was victorious, 203-101.

Pre-game, I awarded Makashi Style to both Serra and Skyguy through Cin. I won map roll, so we played on Cantina. Bryan set up on the atrium side, while I advanced through the storage room. The first round or so was just advancing up the board. Bryan came straight up the middle, taking advantage of his movement breakers, and took an early gambit lead, while I flanked the center room, blowing doors with ugnaughts as I went. In the second round, Bryan was able to use Traya's Telekinetic Combat to pick off an ugnaught, and it was game on, and I started piling my forces into the center room.

At the start of the third round, a miracle happened...Bryan rolled a one for init, giving me the opportunity to go first on my own terms. He did take a turn with Caedus using Aing-Ti, taking 20 off an AoO from Cin and moving in to attack Mace, which missed. Mace moved out and back to get momentum against Caedus, taking 20 off an AoO and giving it back on a Riposte, then hitting two of three (Bryan made almost no Makashi saves all day) to take Caedus down to 40, while Mace was at 110, having taken another riposte hit. Bryan moved Revan in to assault Cin, missing the first and hitting the second, which I took due to a failed Parry save. Then Caedus went after Cin, hitting two with one parry, and we had a brief parry/riposte battle. Serra Keto came after Caedus with momentum, getting two hits through an Makashi'ing his riposte (Mace gave an assist by absorbing an illusion attempt on the last hit). Cin put 40 on Bandon, then got wiped out by Traya's Telekinetic Combat (I completely forgot that I could have used Soresu against it). Bryan moved his Gamorrean into the middle of my group, trying to make me risk 30 damage AoOs to get to his main threats. Skyguy took the risk, figuring at worst he'd get to make a Djem So, but wound up not needing the roll. He put 60 on Bandon with momentum, taking him down to 10 HP. At the end of the third round, due to having killed Cin, Bryan led, 81-74.

In the third round, Traya threw lightsabers at Skyguy (three hits and one defense, taking him to 60), then Bryan killed the droid to give Revan a free turn. Revan's assault put another 40 on Skywalker, while he remained undamaged, despite my makashi/djem so combo. Bryan swapped Revan for Bandon, giving me a chance to finish off Bandon, which I took. Skyguy's second attack went on the gamorrean, doing 20. A juiced up uggie came along to put another 20 on the gamorrean, which retaliated with a wild swing on Skyguy, which would have been for 50. Mace moved away, giving up another unsuccessful AoO, and based Traya. The first attack was a hit, the second a crit, which was makashi'd, then I had to reroll the flurry. In all, I put another 60 damage on Traya, taking her down to 30, while Revan remained at full health. At the end of the round, Serra finished off the gamorrean, taking the score to 131-91 in my favor.

Next round, Revan again assaulted Skyguy, but I made both makashi saves to keep the momentum going. Revan moved away to swap with Traya, and I was finally able to put some damage on him via an AoO. With nothing to lose, Skywalker went after Revan, putting 60 on him. Mace was up next, and his first attack was the crit I had been waiting for. Mace absorbed Revan's LS Defense, which finished him off. At that point, the score was 193-91, and we called it, since I would go over the build total on gambit next round. Final score: 203-101.

Thoughts: Bryan had some really bad luck with his dice, while mine were a bit above average, so that certainly played into things a bit. Even in the last round, when I had almost my entire squad intact and he was down to Revan and a wounded Traya, I still wasn't totally comfortable. The all-melee format really introduces some interesting dynamics and made for a very enjoyable game. In particular, AoOs played into this game a lot more than I'm used to. Also, any type of ranged ability (like Telekinetic Combat) becomes very powerful, since people are building toward melee defense. I really enjoyed this game, and I hope Bryan did, too. Looking forward to next round.

He had 3 Firebreathers.

Played on Rancor Pen. He simply had a better squad. On top of that, it was a bad matchup for me even if our squads were even strength. And on top of that he then outplayed me. So it wasn't really fair. Vong never are fair.

Sorry I forget the final score. Like 135-115. Something like that. But it wasn't that close. Luke had 20hp left and one of his Firebreathers wasn't even touched.
