Jason and I just had our game.

Lots of pre init moving stuff.

His Aves shut down my move three on the first phase (or any phase before Aves activated) Jam transmission was less useful since I had relay orders x4 for my board wide effects, but it made me think about placement a little more.

I made a foolish move and allowed him to lock Jango and Resurrector in the back room for a round. I also foolishly moved Fenn 4 away from Kelborn, thus not getting his resolnare. I also foolishly chose to go first and closed a door that kelborn had open. I should have protected Fenn with his subordinate. He sprinted in with Morrigan followed by Ebo to kill Fen before he did a single thing. Man I was playing bad.


I started to whittle down Embo. Got him down to 10hp at the end of the round when I furious assaulted Morrigan and Embo (she evaded). I then won the important init, and I flew Jango all the way down to where I could hit most of his squad. I rolled the 6 I needed to kill embo, and hit everything else I could see except missing the R7 on a 1. Then he went to work on Jango. I was counting on his nutty defense. It came through, but only because Jason rolled bad (though he did get a crit in there). His guys have high attack anyway, but the wookie missed when I needed it to. (afterward he hit his head thinking "why didn't I used backlash!?!"). Round finishes with Resurrector taking out the R7 and advancing with the tactician.

He wins init this time, but moves aves with Talon's CE, which allows me to resolnare my protector adjacent to Jango. He still has a shot by rushing the rookie in and hoping my protector fails the save on beskargam to give him cleave. I did not fail that roll.


Jango then flies over to do one last assault and go out in a blaze of glory. Kills the wookiee, gets Aves down to 10, Mira down to 10, and Morrigan evades yet again, still full health. I then kill Aves with my protector, and rush in to try and land 60 on Morrigan, and fail one. She attacks Kelborn back and gets a crit (ugh), but then misses. He's down to 30 hp. Talon comes out to play to kill Kelborn. Resurrector shoots long shots at morrigan and she finally fails a few evades, dying.

We start the next round and time is up like a minute later. We are tight in score, and he wins init. He goes in from his hidey hole with Mira to try and kill the tactician, but misses one. The tactician then comes down to shoot Talon (getting a crit), and a hit. Then full health Resurrector comes in to finish the job (barely doing it rolling a 1 and a 5).

He was left with an uggie and a 10hp Mira. I had 10hp tactician, full health resurrector and R7. He had 1 round of gambit, I had 2 including the final round.

Final score Mandos 189, Fringe 138.



We both made some bad moves. Me early on, him later. But his bad rolling was what it came down to ultimately.


Hopefully he can roll above a 6 when needed in the next match. (Vassal dice be blasteded!!!!)

FlyingArrow over Naarkon
240-87

Played on Nightclub

Round 1 was advancing. Krath Death Witch went into gambit (Naarkon was on the right). BB-8 went into gambit on the other side of the wall. Rey jumped forward with Rey's movement breaker and got a shot on Sarasu but missed it badly (29Def in cover). (Actually... that was a mistake. If Taalon was far enough away that he got the +4 Defense from the KDW, then he was far enough away for Stealth to kick in. Rey shouldn't have been able to take that one shot in the first place.)

Round 2, a Resistance Trooper took out the KDW, who was in gambit but no cover. Sarasu took out the trooper. Taalon then took a barrage of attacks from the Resistance squad, putting him all the way down to 20hp. Finn, Rey, and the two remaining troopers were all within 6 (Finn and Rey getting no-cover shots). Han and Chewie shot from the back but ignored Stealth with Accurate Shot. BB-8 ran around and zapped the XT-6.

Round 3, NR won init 3-1. Sarasu went down and the Sabers attacked Rey, who had some great Parry rolls, only missing one Parry out of 4. Finn and Rey and the troopers took out one Saber and whittled down the other. Meanwhile, Wyyrlock and the Iso came along the middle hallway to the Resistance Officer and Leia, who were sitting in gambit (oops). Force Lightning, Sith Spell, and an attack with Opp+20 put Leia down to 10hp (a crit would've killed her). I didn't see them coming, but fortunately for me, they attacked before Han and Chewie had activated, and Han and Chewie were able to take them out that same round. Bandon attacked BB-8.

Round 4, NR won init 4-2. Finn finished off the other Saber. (I'm pretty sure I won init all 3 rounds that mattered.) Bandon finished off BB-8 and then hid behind some ugnaughts in the middle hallway. The Rebel Trooper rolled an epic miss on an ugnaught, needing only a 3 to hit and rolling a 2. But the rest of the squad was able to shoot through the ugnaughts and then also take out Bandon.

(Some of these actions may be out of order. I'm doing this from memory.)


This matchup was really bad for the Sith to begin with. Then add a very shooter-friendly map. Then add bad rolls (e.g. Taalon only made 1 LS Defense save the whole game). That just made it worse. Their shooter defense is mainly Stealth, but the New Republic's two biggest attackers are Accurate shooters. There were a few things Sith could have done differently to increase the odds (keeping Taalon behind the Sabers, Taalon's movement breaker could have helped get an extra attack in, Exar near Rey to keep her parries in check), but it was going to take some lucky rolls to pull out the win no matter what.

That's the plan as of now. Although I don't hold out much hope of victory.

So strange anyone dislikes blast bugs

You might struggle against other Vong builds, but in no way would it be the same. You'd have a chance against other Vong builds, even if it's an uphill battle.

Pairings are up!!!

Shawn and are I scheduled bright and early on Tuesday.

It's on the first page.

Thank you and edited. Since matches have been scheduled and I do not want to push the round back a week, I am leaving the pairings as is. Sorry for any confusion. P.S. I am deleting the app I am using for the swiss rounds

Did Qui-Gon run out of FPs? Push 4 is his work around as it's not an "attack".
