I won map roll and picked Jabba's Palace.

We both ran towards the gambit zone and Caedus drew first blood, doing 40 dmg to Khalee Lah after a Aing Tii flow walk and then retreating after the won int. then the inevitable bottleneck happened with Khalee Lah taking a lot of attacks and dishing out some damage to Caedus. Eventually she died to Caedus and Bandon but not before putting 70 dmg on Caedus after my Ossus protector failed his very first Avoid Defeat save (needed 7's, rolled a 6). Tsvong Lah finished off Caedus and the next round he got 70 dmg on Bane before dieing to Bane. Bane took out Tsvong Lah and dmg'd Shakel and Minos. Bane soon came face to face with Harrar and paid the price, automatically failing all the saves against Shakels attacks and a spit poison save from Harrar. Minos went up and landed 80 dmg vs Bandon and Vergere tried to heal him enough to live another round to try and kill Harrar but by that point I still had 3 pieces with Spit poison and even tho he had +4 to poison saves from Vergere, Harrar made all the spit poisons auto fail and Bandon died. The game was over very quickly when Harrar entered the fray and it was a risky move because Harrar hurts my guys also, but it was the needed push to handle Banes insane HP and his Djem So + VCA 6.

DarkLordVerjals squad was really nasty! Bane is a beast! 50 dmg hits was deadly vs my Vong. Khalee and Tsvong :a were killed in this game and thus Harrar was my only last hope to try and deal with the Sith squad. I had to take risks to take our Verjals squad. He played his squad very well and I think had I been playing any other squad I would have lost to the shear damage output of those Sith lords he was running. Good game!

All good. I forgot you guys would be busy with frostycon, so I'll stretch this round out another week so everyone has a decent chance to get their game in

just got done getting beaten by Caedus

He was running

Maul
Savage
NS Mother
Assajj
Bandon
NS witch
uggos

vs my

Kyp
Saba
Anakin
Ganner
Mighella
Ossus Protector


I grabbed the early lead pounding damage through, but his direct damage was wearing me down and a completely unexpected REPULSE from savage ruined my day. I ended up trying to hold out and protect gambit and kept pushing his guys away with a last effort from ganner, but I couldn't hold out near long enough.

Final score was
220-163

We played on Cantina and by round 2 we were posturing in gambit. His uggies blew doors and Traya killed them. Aayla force pulled Traya though Barriss mines. Reven ran into the mix and swapped in Caedus. Caedus battled Aayla and Barris. Obi flew out to attack Bandon but got Revan and the Pig in his face. The XT 6 died giving Revan an activation. Mace put a hurting on Caedus. Traya and Caedus killed Alaya and Barriss. Obi flew back basing Traya so she couldn’t get attacks on Mace and the Macashi/SSM battle ensued. Mace murdered Caedus but got the Pig in his face. The pig rolled a Crit for 70dam! Mace made attacks on Pig but rolled ones twice and ended up spending 2pt just to kill the Pig. Revan Bandon and Traya finished off the force depleted Mace. Obi killed Bandon in gambit. It got down to Revan and Traya v.s. Obi. Obi was rolling hot with SSM up until the end. Revan rolled a Crit and Obi failed SSM, spent his last force point and failed again.

It was a fun game with lots of yelps and groans as the vassal die were crazy with the 1s and 20s. Most of the battle was spent outside of gambit. I give the Pig MVP for that game. But the largest factor in my winning was Mace not rolling a crit to get off his flurry, not even once. Whew!

He won map, 'Cliffside Citadel', and I chose left. After we both made our ways to the center, the battle began. Bane and Caedus cut their way into his team, killing Darth Maul and nearly finishing off Ventress, but were taken unaware by several sneaky crits and storms of powerful Lightning. I am not ashamed to admit, it was an unforeseen outcome. Strategies needed to be changed, and thus relied on my contingencies to get me out of this mess. My opponent was unwilling to give up any ground, pushing his attack and forcing Bane to temporarily retreat.

My Darth Caedus was able to stave off the enemy attack long enough for Bane to get healed by Vergere, unfortunately Bane did not make it to Caedus in time and thus a brave and valiant man was cut down in the prime of his life- but not before taking Savage opress with him. Bane, and what remained of his forces, Vergere Bandon, and some recruits met the enemy head first and took sweet revenge for the loss of Darth Caedus.

Using recruits as self destruct fodder, they surrounded the opponents forces, while Bane used Force Lightning to bring down Ventress, a Sith Witch and severely damaging the opponents Bandon. After losing my own Vergere and all other recruits, all that remained was my Full hp Darth Bandon and an 80hp 4fp Motf3 Bane making him nigh unkillable vs a 80hp Sith witch mother. She perished as I won initiative and Bane cut her down doing 120 damage.


A very exciting match to say the least!

Just finished my game with Amadeus. This has got to be the closest match I have ever had! Was a really fun game and exciting game! I lost map roll and Amadeus choose Rancor Pen as his map.

This was a amazing game! I thought I was going to lose the game at many points throughout the game and was trying to get at least a 1pt loss. Those Firebreathers have so much HP and my guys were having a hard time not being bunched together. I was able to strategically place some down the line to make it harder for the Firebreathers to use their Flamethrower, but early on they were deadly. I snagged a early round gambit and Amadeus didn't get any. 10-0. I had put Dooje Brolo out front to try and block the Firebreathers from flaming my guys, but a miscalculation on my part lead to one of them getting off a Flamethrower that could ignore Dooje and target my Shakel who was adjacent to Yomin Carr and my Yun Ne'Shel priest. The Yun Priest got torched and failed his first Avoid Defeat save and from then onwards I was regretting that lose immensely. Amadeus had so many guys with Thud Bug it was really swinging the match to his favor. 2 times I got a key attacker activated (Khalee once, and Tsvong Lah once). I was able to use Shakel to try and get some damage through and move my guys around, but it was a hard match trying to get positioning without getting tons of my guys flamed. It took a lot of rounds to kill 2 of his Firebreather and I lost Shakel, Minos and Tsvong Lah in the process. In the last round of the game I am down to 60 HP Harrar, a 60 HP Khalee, a 20 HP Yomin Carr and a Worker. Amadeus has a 100 HP Firebreather with Avoid Defeat, a Vractly Wrangler and his Yun Ne'Shel priest. I am 1 point behind but I have a guy in gambit. Amadeus did a brilliant move and killed Yomin Carr with his flamethrower, so no more spit poisons for my guys. I was able to however get to both his Wrangler and his Yun priest with Harrar killing the wrangler with a regular attack and Khalee using devotion on the Priest and killing him without fear of the priest making the Avoid defeat saves. We each gained 19pts and I had 10pts in gambit to finish the round as time expired, leaving with the final score bing 191-182....my squad barely made it with 9pts to tide me over and get the 2pt win. The game MVP went to Harrar again. He was instrumental in taking out one of the firebreathers which got me caught up in points. I have never lost so many of my guys thus far in this tournament as I did in this match. Thud Bugs were very scary and my loss of my Yun Ne'Shel priest made avery save a nailbitter. Firebreathers take forever to kill and they really are effective in this format. Was a really close game and it was so much fun! Amadeus played his squad the best I think anyone could and so kudo's to him for such a nasty squad build I was able to get the win.....but barely. Pretty much came down to me getting gambit to end the last round to get the points swing I needed to get the win. Really hard fought game and one of my favorite I have ever played! Good game Amadeus!

Played Daman, lost, he'll write it up.
