Both links lead to TJ's squad

it was the priest. he got them mixed up. shaper costs to much for this format

Mixed it up, -Priest. The auto damage gives the quednaks scarification and extra gallop attack movement

It was brutal. I also rolled at least 3 additional 1s on attacks not even counting my Raider's internal strife

Given how dominant the Sith Ranger on Uvak is, I think we're going to have to ban that piece for this league. By "ban" we could make that mean a number of things:

1. Ban it outright. Never, ever use Uvaks again in this league. This makes the most sense to me but I'm open to input.
2. Restrict Sith squads to a max of 1 Uvak (similar to how Sep squads can have a max of 1 droid with "BX" in the name)
3. Some other creative solution that I haven't come up with yet, but which someone else might have.

Now, according to my records there are currently 4 of us who have not yet played a Sith squad (and all of the Sith squads so far have used at least 1 Uvak). Therefore, I think it's only fair that the ban (whatever it ends up being) will only go into effect starting on Week 5. That gives a week for the currently-Uvak-deprived among us to get a shot at complete domination. And nobody is allowed to use Uvaks for a 2nd time (since there were 2 of us who used Uvaks last week).

How does that sound?


Part of my dilemma here is that it's awkward making bans mid-league since it's not fair if some players have been able to use the overpowered piece but others haven't. (FWIW, I lost my game using Uvaks, but that's because my opponent had more Uvaks than I did.)

I'd like to hear your feedback, if you have any. Regardless, we should all plan on NOT using Uvaks again in this league, after the end of Week 4.

My play report is roughly 12 hours away for my game with TINT. I won the all-Sith matchup on Starport Terminal 3-1 with a 150-132 score. It was an exciting match so I want to give it justice when I get the time.

^This but then limit Skyborn Ranger on Uvak to 1 character during playoff rounds.
Also, whoever designed that Ukak is a total madman!

During playoffs either ban altogether or allow only 1.

Week #3: I won the all-Sith matchup with Thereisnotry 3-1 with a 150-135 score.

This was a bloodbath with 9 Uvaks on Starport Terminal. I had a big play report typed up but it didn't save sadly. Here's a less well-written, more play-by-play version:

Round 1: I grab gambit and do 40 damage to a Sniper. Darth O leads 8-0. More importantly 6 Uvaks to 3.

Round 2: I win init. My Uvak misses twice, needing 6's on the 10HP Sniper. The Sniper misses on that Uvak, needing 8. a TINT Uvak kills my Temple Guard and puts 40 on 2 of my Uvaks after I forget to use Bodyguard. One of my 20HP Uvaks flies over everyone to kill the XT, hit a Sniper and Infiltrator for 40 and miss his attack and reroll on an Uvak, needing 6's. I use another Uvak to hit the Uvak that was on my side of the centre for 40. The Witch finishes off a 20HP Uvak with Lightning. A TINT Uvak puts 40 on two Darth O Uvaks. One of my Uvaks misses his attack and reroll on that Uvak. A Sniper finishes that Uvak off. A TINT Uvak does the same on another 20HP Uvak. A Darth O Uvak finishes off that Uvak, and another one puts 40 on a TINT Uvak. A Sniper misses a shot on an Uvak. We both get gambit, so TINT leads 76-39. I'm leading the Uvak count at 3-2.

Round 3: I win init and finish off an Uvak with an Uvak. TINT's last Uvak puts 40 on two Darth O Uvaks. In a pivotal moment of the game, two snipers combine fire in an attempt to finish off an Uvak needing a 4, but they miss. Two of my Uvaks bring down TINT's last Uvak. A Sniper finishes off an Uvak. An Infiltrator misses an Uvak and then dies to an Ugnaught. We both grab gambit, so TINT leads 104-100. I now have 2 Uvaks to 0, both on 20HP.

Round 4: I win my 3rd init in a row. I spend a force point to move an Uvak up to a good Painful Screech spot, which kills an Ugnaught, Caamasi and Sniper and brings another Sniper to 40HP. TINT kills my penultimate Uvak and Ugnaught. My last Uvak kills a Sniper to bring the score to 144-127. Gambit brings the game to an end at 152-135.

We decided to see what would have happened if the game hadn't ended at 150 pts, as TINT still had a Witch and a Sniper against my Uvak, Uggie and R7's, and we had 20 minutes left. He won init and killed the Uvak and Uggie, so if the game hadn't ended TINT would have won.

The main deciders in this match were TINT's missed combined fire shot needing a 4, and my 3 init wins in a row. That being said, I missed 6 attacks needing 6's in the 2nd round, so overall the rolls were about even.

i had thought that Uvaks might be a problem, but is mostly because the counters aren't as well known. There are definetely counters and even some fringe ones, so i think once people realize that maybe some of these should be included in a squad design just in case might be how it play out. i know in a number of my squads i designed it with uvaks as a concern. Mando's have an excellent counter btw for just 5pts.....same with Vong.
