17 IG-86 Assassin Droid
15 Mouse x5
12 Uggie Demo x4

Jason "won" map which meant I got to setup on the left.

First round I moved my guys in a clump to keep all of their fun tricks going. Jason strafed a bunch of my dudes and had pretty putrid rolls on that strafe. I was able to kill one Lancer with the twins.

R2 was pretty much all positioning with really no action taking place

R3 saw some action. Twins missed the Lancer on a normal shot. 3PO, Jan, Kyle all moved into gambit. He moved up some more guys.

R4 he strafted the gambit gang and hit Kyle hard with a crit and an attack and failed shield saves. Kyle elected for Splash 20 and spend a FP to move 8 and shoot at the other Lancer. He hit both and defeated it. Jan put 20 on GGDAC

R5 GGDAC killed Crix and I used Jan and the Twins to finish him off. IG killed Kyle.

R6 was more moving around he used his IG a lot and shot a lot and got Sabine down to 10. He made all of his important Grenades 40 saves only missing on uggies. Twins strafed a few dudes and chased down IG.

R7 I go first and the Twins finished off IG with a FPRR. Sabine killed some uggies. Sid killed Sabine. Jan ran for gambit.

R8 He wins init and kills R2 with Sid. I strafe some more dudes, game ends.

Overall it was a really good game. Jason had an uphill battle but he played the squad very well. He had to contend with a lot of disruptive and other shenanigans. Always a fun time playing.

Sidenote my internet was not working at all and had to play the game on mobile hotspot. First for me.

I won map and we played on Desert Palace.

I won't go blow by blow in this write-up. It was a bad matchup. It was made worse when I informed him that due to timing he did not get to steal a CE. (Telepathic Insight - during setup, Eighth Cortex Shaper's CE - after setup. Yammasok doesn't join until after it can steal a CE) I told him he could select a different reinforcement, but he (correctly, imo) surmised that it was still the best choice since he needed to get the shaper and scarification board wide.

I out-activated, swooped in, swapped, strafed his 3 main attackers. Won init, strafed back to out-of-range. Missed a few on Tsavnong, but killed Khalee Lah and Shedao (Crit helped there). It was downhill from there. I then swapped in Mara end of round to finish off Tsavong, and spent the next round mopping up. He killed a few scrubs but it was just an unfair matchup.

There wasn't much to do here by either player, it was basically just decided by the matchup. I'd been holding back some of my best factions, but since it's clear I'm not making the top 4, I figured - no more f'ing around. N3rdSl4y3er got the brunt of it.

Whoever hasn't chosen a letter - choose one B, F, or I.

First response gets it

(Thinking ahead, I won’t post until after the last game this round is complete)

Man I guess people like to use Yuuzhan Vong against me. 4/7 games vs Yuuzhan Vong (2-2 record). This tournament forces you to use different factions, but no guarantees what you'll face. I've only faced 3 different factions!

It was a delight playing and chatting with John. We were trying to figure out if we've met in person before. He mentioned one of the events he went to over a decade ago was a TILE WARS tournament at some guys apartment. I told him I'm sorta known as the TILE WARS guy, so of course that was my apartment! So funny.

Anyway - on to the game.

I just refuse to play the Sith garbage everyone seems to favor these days, so I played several pieces I've never played before, and slotted them into the old Revan SL and Jaq combo.

It turns out that it ended up being a favorable matchup for me. He did win map, and we played on Mushroom Planet, which made it much tougher to get off sweet twin barrages hitting tons of pieces.

He approached slowly and carefully. I lined up for a nifty 1-2 punch after init in round 2. Sprinted into gambit with Revan and took out his lead Lah Warrior, swapped in a Brute. I sacked an XT-droid to go with Atton, and tried to kill a second Warrior, but rolled a 5 (needing a 6, and since Vong no reroll) to keep him alive with 20hp left. He rolls in with his Zanoma Sekot scouts using charging fire and momentum, but their paltry attack missed (3 times in a row. There were a LOT of misses on both sides. Dice sucked). My rodian hits one of his scouts for 10. He finally kills the Rodian with his Elite, and brings up his 2 warriors into the center room. He out activates me by this point. I bring Set Harth around the bottom and he sprints his last warrior in to pop him for 40. I line Ochi up for some fun at the top of next round. But he keeps the door locked spoiling my fun. He gets gambit.

I win init again and decide to do 1/2 of what I wanted anyway. Since the DRK-1 scout was locked out of the room, it couldn't get into ideal position. But it got next to the door with Intuition. I blow the door with my Uggie, sack the other XT, and then go with Ochi. It was annoying - either I could tactical assault all of his ZS Scouts, and his Elite Warrior, or just hit 2 of his Lah Warriors by getting adjacent. Any direction I went, I was 1 square away from being able to hit EVERYTHING in that room. Acrobatic made me flip right by and get into position. I chose to take out the 2 warriors vs a slew of others, and succeeded to roll the three 3s. He does his double twin with his warrior down below next to Set Harth, but the low attack misses 3/4, leaving him with 20hp. He then takes his elite to attack Ochi, and hits 1 of 2 for 20. I fly my DRK-1 droid into the middle of gambit basing his scouts, and pop 1 for 10 (thinking if he defeats the droid it would self destruct and take them all out.), then get a mouse into position. He tries to pull away from the probe droid, and my droid misses the AoO for the kill, but he also misses on Ochi. Then the second time I actually hit on the AoO, and he'd already been hit by my rodian, so it dies. I move up kneesaa and CRIT a ZS Scout, killing it (Best roll of the DAY!) I bring in Jaq and hit then miss on his Elite, leaving it with 30hp. He starts to move his command crew up, and I sprint around the bottom to get the horizontal middle door open, taking a twin AoO from the warrior (miss miss, needed 15s) and swap Set Harth in to do a barrage. I kill his last ZS scout, but miss FOUR SHOTS IN A ROW needing only a 6 to hit, leaving his last Lah warrior still with 40 and the Elite still with 30. Take a swat at the warrior with my rodian, and roll a 1. Both get gambit

Then I roll a 1 for init (of course!), and his Lah Warrior breaks away from Ravan and the Brute, taking 2 AoOs. I hit with Revan (crab armor save) and I hit with the Brute (crab armor save), dealing a total of 10 damage to the Lah Warrior. Set Harth dies by the hand of the Lah Warrior (miss then hit). I roll in with Atton to try and kill both the Lah Warrior and the Elite (both with 30hp left). Atton hits both, the Lah fails the VCA save and dies, the Elite makes his and lives. Next I runs Ochi just outside the room, and tactical assault the Elite, R7 and Daddy Lah who has moved up by this time. I kill the Elite, miss, miss on the R7, and hit, crit on Daddy Lah. Daddy Lah and the Subaltern strike back, taking Ochi down to 10hp. Time had run out bu this point, and Revan was just a little too far away to do anything but hit Warmaster a couple times, knowing him down to 120.

1 more round would probably have finished of the Warmaster (he is a lot of meat to work through.) Other than that he had the Subaltern with 50hp, Quorreal untouched, and the R7. So in the end it was not as close as the score, his main damage dealers were all dead and I had untouched Atton, untouched Revan, and Ochi still alive. We could have declared an extra round as there was a lot of rules clarifying and calculating things and re-looking up things etc., but it didn't matter so didn't feel any need to do that. It was actually a much more enjoyable game to play at a reasonable pace and not just rush for the sake of rushing. It was sincerely a pleasure to play John. We talked tactics and squad building, and the Vset learning curve, etc, etc. I think it could have been much different if he built his squad with Zenoc Quah instead of Quorreal. Shaper + Evade would be a whole different game. I was happy to play a fun squad the was tactical and interesting. So much better than running in and just smashing in the middle. Happy to play with such a great guy, we really had fun.

It was the battle of the Trevor's in this match!

Round 1: positioning for the most part. I gave Yoda an extra FP with Light Tutor at the start of the game and used Qui Gon to haunt Yoda. I towed Dark Woman up with R2 and locked the door into gambit to prevent Trevor from shooting my guys up with Boba or Morrigan. I brought up Yoda next to R2 to be towed next init. After tint had activated all his pieces, I made a bold move with Dark Woman to phase through the gambit room and use Master speed to try and get 20 damage onto Talon Karrde. I hit the attack and Talon was down to 60hp. Dark Woman takes no damagewith Shien on the aoo from Boba to get there and Boba fails the Shien save.

Round 2: I win init and allow tint to go first. He moves Mira up with Talon's CE. He chooses to try and damage Dark Woman up with Boba and gets 30 dmg through on the Triple after she makes her Shien Style saves. Boba makes all his saves from the Shien. I tow up Yoda and get him to within 8 squares of Talon. Yoda then goes and GMA with Acrobatic and spending a fp for 2 extra movement to get adjacent to Talon and Mira, landing 60 dmg onto Talon and doing 30 more with Lightsaber Throw on mira since the Ysalmiri was gone now. With Talon gone now, things went much more in my squads favor. Yoda ended up takes a lot of damage from Morrigan, Mira and Embo, leaving him with 40hp at the end of the round and zero FP with having failed all his saves to reflect the damage. Dark Woman does LSA twice on Embo but only lands 2 attacks. Coleman also attacks Boba twice with Master Speed and LSA, dealing 80dmg to him. Embo is at 30 hp, Boba is at 10hp and so I take an aoo with Jax Pavan to Master Speed + LSA to take out both of them. Morrigan retreats away to a safe spot after she did her damage against Yoda.

Round 3: I lose the initial init roll, but choose to Sense the Future with Qui-Gon and swap inits so i can go first. Yoda takes out a rodian and moves adjacent to R2 with Agile. Trevor moves Mira to get a los onto Yoda and shoots him with no cover, but he makes the save to reflect the damage and Mira fails the save taking 20 dmg. Yoda takes 20 dmg more and is down to 20hp. Mira ducks around the corner with Agile. I retreat with r2 and Yoda and put Pavan in front to prevent Morrigan from shooting Yoda. Dark Woman uses Force Phase to get past the locked door and walls to base Mira with Master Speed and Phase to deal the last 20 dmg to her and defeat Mira. Morrigan does 40 dmg to Yaddle with Charging Fire. Coleman and Yaddle both base Morrigan and take her out.

Round 4: I lose init again and swap inits to win it, so i take out the r7 with Yaddle and that ends the game as I am now over 200pts.

This game had me nervous when I saw what thereisnotry was bringing to the table! Because thereisnotry is such a great player, I had to bring out one of my best squads to the table to try and get a victory and I was fully expecting Trevor to play an amazing Mando squad. Yet here he was playing something just as deadly if not worse for my squad to deal with! I knew that I had only 1 way to try and win and that was to take Talon out with Dark Woman and Yoda working together, and to do that I needed use Force Phase and Master Speed to land 20 dmg on him with Dark Woman. Thankfully she hit her attack and that made it possible for Yoda to finish him off. Had Talon not been defeated early in round 2, the game would have been completely different. I would have been able to reach Talon eventually with my other Jedi, but Trevor would have gotten to land a bunch more attacks for higher damage and I'm sure I would have lost more pieces. I almost lost Yoda with my aggressive tactics but it paid off to get rid of Talon right away. I went with a different Yoda/Yaddle squad build than most people play because I feel that Dark Woman is a very useful piece with her Force Phase and Jax Pavan is great vs enemies with Parry and is a pain for shooters to take out with Shien + Mettle. It might not do as much damage as a Yoda/Yaddle squad with Saesee Tiin and Ima Gun Di squad does, but it can do enough damage to key targets to give the Republic a chance to win.

Good game Trevor!

gandalfthegreatestwizard chose F

I'll post what that actually is after the final 2 matches this round, which it sounds like are happening tomorrow (Tues).

depending on what time results are posted, I'll post next week's matchups before or after I get off work in the Evening.


Looking ahead - once I post the next round's matches, everyone will know who their final round opponent is.

I would request that although it may seem efficient, please don't play your round 9 match before all round 8 matches are finished. It might effect what factions are played, etc. But once the final round 8 match has been played - you may go ahead and play your round 9 match, no need to wait for me to post.

They did ruin mine, haha. Thanks for playing Spry, it was a fun game
