Due to time constraints, we played 4 rounds and cut to top two. Etienne beat Lillian to take the title. The rest played one last round of Swiss to determine the final rankings.

Not going to a top 4 cut I think hurt me the most Since I think my squad had a shot vs atm.

I was really rusty and kept forgetting this was not Imperial Assault but everyone was very nice and understanding. I felt like a new player. Thanks everyone for understanding. I had a blast and playing a old school WOTC based squad was a lot of fun.

We had 15 players

COMMA COMMA COMMA COMMA COMMA COMMANDO SQUAD

6th place (4-1 with 9 points)

I was with
Double Trouble Ping Pong
Pong Krell
Kazdan
Rex
Lobot
Gha
R2
ugo

Basically if you get reserves you get 60 pts worth.

Rd 1 Lost -- no reserves
Rd 2 4 reserves in a row (including stealing a 20 from my opp) -- win
Rd 3 2 reserves (one early, one mid) -- lost. Opp made a couple of great moves, which made me go for broke, which didn't pay off.
Rd 4 2 reserves (rd 2 and rd 4) -- won, but more because my opp had horrid dice. Should have killed Rex like 4 or 5 times but couldn't do it
Rd 5 bye

Squad definately struggles to get 3 pt wins. First reserves is basically bringing in acts to get up to speed. Then second reserves get you the meat of your attackers. If you don't get the second reserves until rd 4 or 5, it is very tough to get 3 point win, let alone a win at all.

Thanks to all who came out and played. It was great to have 15 players enjoy a day of minis.

6x Republic
3x New Republic
1x Rebels
1x Separatists
1x Sith
1x Old Republic
1x Imperial
1x Mandalorian
0x Vong
0x strictly Fringe.

Starting squads ranged from 7-26 figures.

I liked Timmer's 'nameplates' on figures so that even with using recommended figures for v-set pieces you could see at a glance that 'okay, that's not a WotC piece' and 'oh, yeah, that's who that is.'

A range of ages from young to young-at-heart; I think it's 14 to 49.

WI, IL, MN, IN represented.
A first for us in that the locals were outnumbered by the visitors.

13 males to 2 females.

We had 119 years of playing experience amongst the players; ranging from 1 to 11.

Thanks to Engineer for the trophies and LilyWan for the custom figure prize support.

Harry's Regional Squad (see Harry's post above; I had to razz him)

1x Vader's Apprentice, Unleashed
1x Boba Fett, Assassin for Hire
1x Emperor Palpatine on Throne
1x Thrawn (Mitth'raw'nuruodo)
1x Mas Amedda
1x Mynock
1x R7 Astromech Droid
2x Imperial Dignitary
2x Ugnaught Demolitionist

(200 pts. 11 activations)

4th place (4-1 with 10 points)

---

Last minute substitution (see post above) definitely helped this squad.

Yes, that is a Mynock in there. Don't laugh. It delivered the death blow to finish a game.

Drat Betrayal. Johnny's Quinlan Vos Force Point rerolled into a 1 giving me his figure. But it was short-lived as Johnny then took him out. Although I had 167 points of kills, his gambit out-paced me. Johnny was a true player in that he came in for the late game fight instead of sitting back. Classy move.

TimmerB destroyed me. Someone has to keep me humble.

3 point wins were a big deal. And I only get 1 point for killing 167 points in a loss?!?!?! I had more points than most 2 point winners.
(First sentence = serious, second sentence = facetious, third sentence = just a statement of fact.)

Finally I get to take home one of Engineer's creations. But I'm still waiting for that Timth Place Trophy. :>)

A great group of players. Thank you to all for a great day. Hope everyone had as much fun as they seemed to have playing, discussing, observing, analyzing, Monday-morning quarterbacking, etc this game we enjoy.

Did anyone have any questions with any maps? Specifically the Mining Colony Upper Level? In the center around the duct there are 5 little door like things. They kind of resemble doors except the marks are red instead of blue. I can't see it being ruled as wall as I don't see why they wouldn't just make it straight red line, and if it was a wall then there is a lot of empty space in the middle of the map. Are they doors? Are they just weird marks and can just move through them like normal squares?

I have not seen anyone use the map but if anyone used this map in the regional then how was this ruled?

Nice! Great job Atmsalad. A Very similar squad stole me the championship in the north. It's pretty versatile and tough. Nice to see such a wide spread of factions and I believe the game has never been more varied for factions.
