I will be posting the new squads on the first page shortly.

EDIT: New squads are up.

thereisnotry defeats UrbanShmi 200-0 (3-0).

Laura's squad had a bunch of devastating CEs for her Acolytes, and if those CEs had all worked it would've been really interesting...however, those Acolytes are all melee attackers, and I had 2 tanky dudes with Distraction, and the result was that much of Laura's squad was nerfed before we even began. She did a pile of damage to Tulak (who still couldn't make a save), in part because I kept forgetting Doctrine of Fear. Nevertheless, during the 3rd Round, while Tulak was down to 30hp, Dooku and the Dark Acolyte Master and an Acolyte were eliminated, so she conceded. This was just a bad matchup for her, and there really wasn't a whole lot that could be done about it.

It's always good to game with Laura. Thanks for the game!

And thanks for running this event!

Ya, whenever good melee comes out it tends to be anti melee. Like Tarre. but at least it is Melee pieces that are designed that hurt other melee pieces! Tulak giving Distraction to another "melee beat stick" really will hurt separatist and Republic. but it will put a melee piece "in the discussion" imo and it has helped Sith. I do hope there are ways to make melee playable without hurting other melee. I was talking about this just the other day. But I think that as long as melee can be played it is a plus! Will it hurt Silri will her Melee Reach 2?

Udorian over Gandalf 3 - 1

The Dance of Soresu was totally on and I took a full round of attacks without taking any damage. Gandalf's Squad had a lot of attacks and a lot of force points and played it well. The Republic jedi utilized ugnaught walls and porgs to bolster their defense. A mouse droid killed my holocron. Kneesa killed a Loth Cat (I thought that was very fitting).

spry and I have our game scheduled for thursday

Spry beats Jason 3-0 220-78

I won map. It was a lot of beef with some defensive capabilities and huge damage potential and movement. I made a Garm CE save to set up a kill on Chewie. Jason then had to rush several non-Han and Dash guys forward to absorb some damage so that Han and Dash didn't eat it. Wicket killed an Uggie which forced Garm to move up and then effectively get wasted by a Twi'lek, once Garm was out of the way the remaining one was able to kill Han. 3rd round he killed another Twi'lek and the 3rd was down to 10HP but Meetra and Twi'lek finished off Dash and Klat for the win. As always it was a pleasure playing Jason.

Covenant defeats the Quarren-Droid alliance (Randy) 205-60 on Imperial Garrison

I set up on the left. Early in round 2, Riff Tamson charged in with an AQ Droid and hit the Protector for 40 damage. The Protector hit back with its own attack and a cannon shot, and Riff was not rolling hot- missed three Parries in a row needing nines, so with a crit the Protector killed him. After that, Randy's Quarrens and BD Hunters did not do great against the beef of Covenant in an all-out melee.

thereisnotry defeats Udorian84 200-116 (3-1)

I won the map roll so we played on Desert Marketplace. Udorian set up on the left, then I set up on the right (with Tulak and the holocron beside the Nexus in the center room.

Round 1: Mostly positioning. Cognus used Force Suppression. Toward the end of the round R2 towed Caleb forward, and then Depa pushed Caleb (via Master) and then Caleb moved around the bottom of the center building to spend a FP to try to expel Exar. Exar failed the first save but made the fprr. I still had the Nexus and Tulak to go, so I used Easy Path on Tulak, and then activated to move him 6 and then Teleport adjacent to Caleb for an attack (w Rage) that turned into 2 attacks because of Jarkai. Caleb failed the LS Defense save, so he was at 10hp.

Round 2: In a last heroic attempt before dying, Caleb tried to dispel Exar again but Exar made his save. This was a huge turning point in the match, because the Dark Aura played a big role in how this match played out afterward. Tulak then used Sith Hatred to kill off Caleb and then move back into position with the rest of the squad. However, R2 then towed Depa up to where she could Assault my Imperial Agent, and didn't miss, so he died without doing anything. She took more damage from the Nexus than she did from lightsabers in this game! Cognus tried to attack her, but she kept making her saves (needing 15s!). AniObi came around the bottom to pick up the holocron and Force Push my XT-6 to death.

Round 3: Udorian won init again. Cognus used Surprise Attack to attack Depa, but he missed an attack and Depa blocked the one that hit. She brought Cognus down to 100 (LS Assault costed her 2 fp because of Suppression). AniObi leaped 12 squares to land behind Cognus and hit for 20dmg. Tulak Attacked Depa, but she made both saves.

Round 4: You guessed it, Udorian won init again! Depa tried to damage Cognus, but without enough FP to Assault she didn't do any damage (bad dice for him and Parry for me). I was finally able to kill off Depa this round, with the help of some Sith Guard attacks and the accumulation of PotDS damage. Exar's Dark Aura was my MVP this game. AniObi attacked Cognus 4 times and missed on 3 of them.

Round 5: I finally won an init, and Cognus did ZERO damage again! At this point it was getting comical, because Cognus couldn't do any damage but was causing a whole lot of trouble (Doctrine of Fear, Force Suppression, Exar's Dark Aura). Tulak put 30dmg on AniObi. Somewhere in here the Porgs start to breed, since my Sith Guards are picking off Udorian's fodder pieces.

Round 6: Udorian won init, and AniObi made their PotDS save (with a Porg's help) and so they had enough FP to Leap over my people and attack my Ugnaught in gambit. That brought Udorian to 81 points after Gambit that round. Tulak moves up to put some more damage on AniObi, teleporting to block the door so that they can't escape the room. I ran my Sith Recruit up to base AniObi on the other side.

Round 7: Udorian (with his pseudo-Master-Tactician ability) won init again, but didn't dare attack Tulak (Sith Reflexes) nor my Sith Recruit (SD10) so he did nothing. I tried to pile on the damage, but he stayed alive with 20hp thanks to Porgs and bad dice for me. The Nexus died this round, which brought Udorian to 99pts, and then 109 after gambit.

Round 8: Udorian won init and tried to attack Cognus, but once again couldn't roll very well: 2 of his 4 attacks landed, but one was parried after a fprr, and the other was made after a Recruit sacrifice (bringing AniObi to 10hp). Tulak then activated and used Rage to finally bring down the Dynamic Duo.

As always, it was fun to play with Udorian! This was a crazy match...that Nexus must've done 70 or 80dmg with the PotDS ability alone. Losing my Imperial Agent right away was massive...but so was keeping Exar alive. We both had better dice on defense rolls than we did on offense. Thanks for the game!

N3rdSl4y3r beat me by concession, 200-0.
