(200pts. 9 activations)


Rd 1 against Stephen and his Sith
He was Marka Ragnos, Caedus, and Amanoa. I activated 2 every time, to try and keep up. Used Luke to Throw Kanan up the board, got some shots on Amanoa. He had a sweet sequence at the top of rd 2 with a flow walk, a won init, then ragnos and then another guy (didn't have his XT close enough or could have even gotten one more person). Kanan got to do 30 to Caedus a couple grenades later took care of caedus. The game changer was tossing in ahsoka to do an assault/rolling cleave to take out Alema Rar, amanoa, AND the Freedon Nadd Force ghost. It cost all my guys 2 FP, but left the game state as basically an injured Ragnos, vs Luke, Ezra, Sabine, injured Ahsoka, and nearly dead Kanan. A round or so later Ragnos fell and the game was over.

1-0 (3pts)

Rd 2 against Randy and 100 pt Luke and Lor Sen Taco with crazy re-rolls
I almost Threw Luke into a pit (he made the leia re-roll). And we just kept exchanging blows with Mines and grenades (both at 15) dealing some damage to Luke. I had to be careful to not get anything defensed until I had Luke low on force. Then before he could start pulling shenanigans, I sent people around and worked on his fodder (leaving a nearly dead Luke wreak havoc on me for a bit) since I wanted to make sure Luke actually died when I killed him. Finally took out Leia and Cade, and the rest of his support and then finally finished off Luke.

2-0 (6pts)

Rd 3 vs Joe and his take on unique vong
I got some early damage in with the guns and then by the middle of round 2 he had all his guys adjacent to all my guys and I realized I might be in trouble. Only thing I could do was keep trying to kill his guys (granting tons of retaliatory attacks) and hope that I wouldn't fall too far behind in the damage race. The fact I rolled at least 4 crits on some crucial attacks, paired with Joe's usual awful dice against me, put me ahead on the damage race, and finally won the day for me.

3-0 (9pts)

Rd 4 against Bryan and his super stealth Black sun.
Going in, I knew that if I could get 1 pt (ie score 100) that I would lock up my spot in the top 4 so that was kinda my goal as I knew from talking to Bryan that his squad had a ton of firepower. In the first rd, I found a way to kill his Lobot (shooting past a ton of SS guys and some diplomats). That kinda sent Bryan reeling, and then at the start of rd 2, I sent Kanan the rest of the way in to base a twilek (and kill him). Alexi and his Cannon shot quickly devastated Kanan, but in return I found a line to his givin (reinforcement) with Ezra to take it out. Ahsoka and Luke were kinda playing catchup. I sent in Ahsoka the next round, and traded a bunch of damage on her for the other twilek and damage on Alexi. The Cannon shots were still devestating although with her defensive stance, she shrugged off a bunch of the attacks. Finally got the other dug out of the way, to clear things out so that Sabine could start grenading the crap out of him. He made the first salvo of grenade saves, but couldn't keep up the hot rolling. I just used kept using grenades on Xizor to avoid pheremones, while he was whacking at luke for 10 at a time. Luke did fail 1 grenade save but managed to stay alive while xizor died.

4-0 (12 pts)


Semi-finals against Joe again.
I won map this time, so the game played out very different. I killed his door melty guy and then salacious with a pushed up kanan in the first couple rounds. Then I saw the big opening and got ahsoka way down deep by his yammosk knowing that he couldn't kill her before the end of the round and even if he won init, ahsoka wouldn't die. Then it was just seeing if I would roll any 1s on her attack (the +2 from Artoo meant I needed anything but 1s). Also got to put 20 on Shedao Shai with the Rolling Cleave, but now he had to spend time getting his shaper and priest into position. This let me get positioned to take out Khalee and then later Tsavaong (although Ahsoka died from all the retaliatory attacks), but Kanan was still pretty healthy. After that I took out his priest and then it was pretty much over as his damage output was severely limited. Round or two of trading damage saw me victorious.


Finals against Spry
Rd 1, I launched Kanan out after he had towed up Anistap, and hit twice, and he failed both evades including a FP re-roll. This essentially meant that the strafer was out of commission as a mines save or a counterpush from Kanan would end its day. Rd 2, I used an early Ezra focused attack to hit his R2 and jolt him (missed the kill shot), but that kept his movement under control. I then started trying to lock down gambit. The rest is a little fuzzy. I took out 2 of his guys with Ahsoka, then she failed save after save to eventually die. A failed mines save plus an R2 hit (after Sabine died killed one of his pilots), A lobbed Kanan took out his Stap at some point. I just remember trying to hunt down his pilots, and then after that he had started bring up all his commander types, and I just kept working through them. Nearly dead Kanan, Ezra, Luke, Artoo I think were what survived on my side of the board at the end of the game. Spry might remember more on the specific order of things after the first round and a half or so.
