Well, the all Commonwealth duel of General Grievous' Spotter/Sniper squad and thekezzamachine's Obi/Ani/Mace/Rex squad just concluded with the Republic running out 200-72 winners on the Rancor Pen. I was initially fearful at facing the squad (having had some pastings by the Spotter/Sniper combo on numerous occasions) and didn't feel like I had the upper hand in this matchup, but I can now see that my five-activation squad was just the right medicine.
I took the left and just tried to work out how I was going to take gambit as early as possible, while Grievous setup just below the door on the right. As I moved forward, I got a couple of shots from BXs, but Soresu proved too good on the day, only letting in one shot on the penultimate round. By the end of two, I was set up under cover in gambit, while Grievous set up just around the corner down the top middle door, surrounded by BXs. I got some cheeky shots at Grievous, landing two through the spotter but getting a crit back in the face, before I made the call to charge in with the Jedi in order to take out some clankers. It worked as I split them up and started taking out their numbers, before Grievous wheeled around to Rex and Hypori hopped off. Rex put some pain onto the General but couldn't finish him off before being taken out. Meanwhile, the Jedi were smashing the droids, before Mace ran back to base Grievous. Their duel was short-lived as Grievous parried everything, and it wasn't until Obi/Ani dashed back that I was able to Force Push him out of the game. By that time, gambit had caught up and the final round of the game finished with my Soresu'ing and getting the last lot of gambit to clock up exactly 200 points.
GG to GG!

GG to GG! You played excellently and it was a super rough matchup for me. Also Grievous couldn't roll higher than a 2 to save his life hahaha. But first vassal game ever and Kezza was super patient for me while figuring things out.

Deaths_Baine wrote:hey I killed two things lol. You actually killed 3 (you forgot the Uggie) and I killed one for you (the XT-6). 3-0 win for Fur on Fangs. Final score "200"-42. Deaths_Baine wins map but chooses my map (Nightclub). I take right. Round 1 - Nexu runs into gambit with the Wookiee Trooper on its back. Everyone else advances. Round 2 - Deaths_Baine had forgotten about windows and was thinking they were doors. That meant Luke was out of position, so he just moved Luke to gambit. The Nexu with Wookiee Trooper moves adjacent while an ugnaught moves up to provide the Nexu cover. Klat Captn kills the Ugnaught and then Lando kills the Nexu. Wookiee makes the Mount save to land next to Luke. Ven hits Luke pretty hard for 60 (one successful LSDef). Then the Wookiee Trooper hits for 40, but a successful LSDef and Djem So kills the Trooper. Luke is down to 1 FP, though. The Scoundrels move out to get LOS on Luke for the next round. Round 3 - OR wins init. Ven hits all 3 of his attacks, but the LSDef works, leaving Luke at 30hp. A Scoundrel had set up at the end of round 2 to get line of sight on Luke. XT-6 pops to let the Scoundrel attack and he misses one but hits his second shot while Luke has no FP, so Luke is defeated. Deaths_Baine concedes once Luke is dead. Actual score was 120-42 at that point. OR had 2 rounds of gambit and Luke. NR had Nexu, Wookiee Trooper, UgDemo, XT-6, and 1 round of gambit. There was still about a half hour left on the clock. Good game - tough match-up with Ven turning off Djem So and Bastila turning off Evade.

I've just been reading through some of the squads (yes, I'm behind the times!). There are a few really cool squads here! Now that we're underway, I'll show y'all the squad that I was thinking of going with: http://www.bloomilk.com/Squad/167964/my-new-empire--My New Empire-- 100 Darth Sidious, Sith Mastermind 45 Darth Vader of Lothal 28 Death Trooper 17 Nightsister Sith Witch 15 Sith Holocron 5 Imperial Dignitary (210pts. 6 activations) I told Mike (AceAce) about this yesterday and he seemed to like it. --Basically, the Death Trooper is a huge help to this squad. The Bothan Saboteur is often used as the door control in the Vader/Palpy squad, because he's Imperial so he benefits from Battle Ready. Well, the Death Trooper has Thorium Charge (much better than the Satchel version), and he ALSO serves as a BG for Palpatine, and YET ALSO has Double Att at +8. These are significant improvements over the limited usefulness of the Bothan. --The Nightsister is just a great source of extra damage vs everything except Vong. Darn Vong! --The Holocron, along with the Dignitary, can serve as an effective way to keep enemies from basing Palpatine. It also plays a big role in helping key enemies to fail their activation save from Palpy's beginning-of-round zap. As always, the biggest hindrance to this squad is Marn, who can drain all Palpy's force points away. But after a quick glance through the squads here, I don't recall seeing a squad with Marn. So then why did I forego this squad, you ask? Because I've already had enough cookiees...and I see dead people (Ghost Crew). But seriously, it was simply because I had never played the Vader/Palpy squad and so I wasn't sure how it would play vs the various squad types. But yeah: I think Vader/Palpy benefits a great deal from having a Death Trooper in the squad...and a Holocron too. Anyway, cheers! Back to your regularly-scheduled SWM awesomeness.

A squad I strongly considered was a Unique-focused Hutt Cartel squad with Nico Okarr in it. Nico lets you bring in Aves only if you need him, which can be a key counter to some squads.
I also considered something with Vitiate and/or Vader of Scarif.

Seeing these squads I would much rather have run 100 point Dooku to give me a fighting chance against all these Obikins and Bastilla's hahaha. That being said really glad I didn't run with what I wanted to bring Huges because they would have been utterly destroyed and hard countered by everything.

Holocron is no good in a vader of lothal squad. One of the huge advantages of Vader is battle ready and if you are using a holocron, you have to keep someone back to pick it up.

I toyed with a Kol squad for awhile, but I knew I wanted to play Ven Zallow. Took me awhile to come up with my squad. I was like so do i play Vodo, do I play Vima, should I consider Lobot. When I finally settled on Lobot then I was trying to figure out what else to run Vima or Vodo. When I decided Vima I chose the Squib to round it out for the relay orders and Satchel distribution. Plus he can get gambit if needed.
