This "Toe-to-Toe" contest is limited to the first 8 entries.
Build a 200-pt squad with exactly 5 characters (no large or huge), following faction rules. The skirmish will be run as follows:
* The size of the map is exactly 10 squares: two rows of 5. Each player gets one row for his characters.
XXXXX
XXXXX
* Roll for set up. Winner can go second. Players takes turns placing figures in one of the 5 spots on his side of the map.
* Play the skirmish as normal, but keep in mind the map is only 10 squares, so you can't even move until characters are defeated.
Post your squad and then we will have a tournament to determine who built the best squad for this format. Skirmishes will be resolved in one of these ways...
* First, if the two squad creators can play each other either in person or on Vassal, they can do that.
* If the squad creators can't play each other, then any neutral party (i.e. not the squad creators) can play the two squads against each other (even a solo play is fine). Right before you start, go ahead and post that you're going to play the skirmish so that we don't have two people playing it at the same time.
In either case, post the winner and a summary of how it happened. These skirmishes shouldn't take more than 15 minutes or so, and that probably includes setup.
Only 8 entries so that we have an even number for the brackets. If we get to 8 quickly enough, I won't enter myself.

Built this one a loooong time ago, might actually be decent in this format:
--Fun NR Squad--
115 Grand Master Luke Skywalker
46 Kyle Katarn, Combat Instructor
25 Leia Skywalker, Jedi Knight
14 Felucian x2
(200pts. 5 activations)

I thought we'd get 8 pretty quickly since this is a pretty quick squad to build. If we don't have 8 by tomorrow night, I'll throw my hat into the ring.

--Super Moving Vong--
72 Supreme Overlord Shimrra
35 Onimi, Shamed One
34 Nom Anor
28 Nei Rin
27 Nen Yim
Nom provides some shots while Shimmra takes his big hits and Onimi lets him do it again.

No large or Huge so the firebreather is out. I have a squad idea for this, but will refrain from submitting it for now as I know I'll be unable to participate in the battling phase.

This is a squadbuilding contest - no need to participate in the battling phase. I gave the option to pilot your own squad if you can coordinate with the opposing squadbuilder, but I imagine most of the matches will be run by neutral parties. 4 entries so far.

65 - Critdu
55 GOWK
27 Ferus Olin
23 Jarael
16 Qui-Ghost
186 pts - 5 activations
Qui Gon steals init; Jarael activates 1, 2 or 3 characters per round; Ferus bodyguards Mace and Jarael early when necessary and Dark Temptations before he dies - steal the points if he turns; GOWK is a rock; Mace wrecks shop.

Good strategy notes, and it brings up a good point. Everyone should probably add some strategy notes, since most likely you won't be the one running your own squad. Suggestions for who should activate first, who should set up next to whom, who should get the center spot, etc.

100 Luke Skywalker, Master of the Order
48 Kyp Durron, Jedi Master
29 Lowbacca
16 Dr. Evazan, Galactic Criminal
7 Felucian
make sure that lowbacca can bodyguard kyp. I'd put kyp in one of the far corners so that he can only be adjacent to 2 people then i'd put luke in the center adjacent to lowbacca as well, then i'd put evazan next to luke then i'd finish with the felucian in the last corner.

Randomized match-ups for the brackets (updated as the tournament progresses)...
First round:
A) Darth O (Sith) defeats AndyHatton (Vong)
B) Lord_Ball (Seps) defeats DeathsBaine (NR)
C) adamb0nd (Sith) vs SignerJ (Seps)
D) UrbanShmi (NR) defeats GalacticFunk (Republic)

F) adamb0nd (Sith) vs UrbanShmi (NR)
Finals:

CHAMPION: UrbanShmi
First order of business... are of you able to play your matches face to face or on Vassal? If so, you can coordinate and get that done. Let us know by tonight if that is going to be possible. If not, then neutral parties will run the matches based on your strategy guides.
