Spheres of Influence League

--Each player brings: TWO 200pt legal squads from 2 different factions (out of the 3 or 4 factions) for that round's theme.
--Regular faction and affinity rules apply (Fringe characters may appear in any squad, and you are free to use Fringe as your squad's faction, ONLY IF IT IS A LEGAL FACTION for that week's theme. (Yes, adding one piece of another faction to an "all fringe" squad changes the faction. And yes, that does make it the new faction. Example, Mando and the Child in a Talon Karrde squad is a MANDALORIAN squad, even though it plays like an all Fringe squad. Literally ALL FRINGE can only be used if FRINGE is listed as a faction that round.)
--Players simultaneously reveal links to both squads that they've brought, CLEARLY LABELING which squad will be run first and which squad will be run second in the reveal.
--Then Player A and Player B both play their squad 1, and then immediately after (or sometime convenient for both players before the deadline) they will each play their squad 2. Players will have 2 weeks to finish both games in each round. The next round starts the day after the last game of the previous round is finished.

(The simultaneous reveal is required only to have a link for the 2nd squad. Players may keep their 2nd squad set to private until the start of the second match. The link is simply so that a player may not build their second squad based on what faction their opponent played with the first squad. We will use the honor system to not change the second squad after the first squad's reveal)

--Play the first game with each of the squads you listed first.
--Then play a second game with your other squad vs the same player. It may be the same day, back to back days, or even 14 days apart - as long as both are done within 2 weeks.

Maplist
We will be using the new restricted map list for 2021-2022. All of the maps are now available on Vassal (8/13), so all are now legal.

Available on Vassal from the start (legal from start to finish of the league)


Available on Vassal now (8/13), (legal starting round 2 to the finish of the league)




This is the set order of theme (faction restrictions) for each round.
















I have all all the pairings for all 7 rounds laid out, we will have someone roll a d20 for us to see which set of pairings we use each round.

THIS IS NOT THE ORDER! This is just a list of all the pairings. The Theme and faction restrictions of each round are set, the opponent pairings will be decided each round by a die roll, to preserve impartiality.

Everyone must build (exactly) 2 out of these 3 factions for this round.

We played on Asteroid Base, and Matt let me choose the side (I chose right).

Near the end of the first round I towed Sev to put 40dmg on Coleman, who promptly hid out of sight.

At the start of the second round R2 towed Mace in, who attacked Sev...and didn't roll a crit. Sev's shields held so he only took 30dmg. After that Mace went down in a hail of blasterfire and I locked the door. Later that round I blasted the door I had locked, and then someone killed R2.

At the start of round 3 I tried to tow Sev (30hp) to safety, but nothing is outside of Foul-Yoda's range, and Sev went down. Yoda put some damage on Fi, and then later Mira used Force Sense and did some further damage to Fi, but his shields kept him alive until the end of the round, when Yoda reflected a crit back in his face.

Yoda dropped at the start of the next round, and Mira fell quickly after that.

We're planning to play our second match tomorrow morning.

______________________________________

I set up on right dashing to Gambit. At the end I had Satele outside the locked door in Gambit. he had Thon in gambit with his Atton going up the top.

2nd round I intuition away with Satele and things got crazy. Satele ends up basing Thon and tries to assault but he cancels it. Then his Nomi and Thon eat away at my life and I saved 2 force and successfully absorbed a shot from Atton that would have brought me to 10 and a certain death but reversed me back up to 70. Satele was trying to stay strong to prove that she inherited the birthright. Vima ran up and misses Atton, rerolls to a crit! to do 50 and the next attack misses again. Boba got some shots off from the back.

Round 3 I win init and Vima kills Atton (who did make his first set of Avoid Defeat saves). Nomi unloads on the forceless Satele and gets 40 in through parry. Thon Repulses and kills her. (PS I just thought of it now but that Repulse should have damaged Nomi, but I didn't think about it). So Satele's lifeless body was thrown against a wall as were 2 ugnaughts. Thon moves up and it takes Atton and Boba to kill him. Nomi drops where Boba cannot get to her.
Some movement with holocrons.
Round 4 He wins init but lets me go first. Atton shoots at Nomi and I think one hit got through. I run Vima down to get Sokan and her jedi reflexes and pure awesomeness have her crit Vima. I felt like it should have been a slice across her chest as she ran past. She then does some quick bladework and slices her again before the Charging Assault drops 60 on Nomi. Nomi then ruthlessly finishes off the job. Boba got some shots and Bastila runs up. Jim kept using the RDE +2 and the Porgs to make his defense saves.
Round 5 I win init and Atton shoots, then an XT pops Bastila who runs and finishes the job with an assault.

Crazy fun game. Action and survivability where really cool. It made it very engaging and if Satele didnt absorb and have parry to absorb even more it was a different game.

It was my first time playign Bastila, I was hoping to play some big time commander squad haha, but he had the one commander. I really enjoyed Vima's design and think she is a fun piece. I don't know much about Sokan but am going to look into it.

We will schedule our next game sometime. I have seen the squad and it is going to be a blast!

I took Revan's CE for my squad using Gnost, and that was a nice bonus. My Covenant uniques were able to GMA with Tripple Attack for up to 40 damage. Was really fun using the wookies with the Covenant and Gnost-Dural! I did a lot of shooting and Dracul made a bunch of evade saves (until i killed Malak). The Garrison has a pretty severe bottleneck so it was just Raana and Q'Anilla duking it out with Meetra and the Echanni. I made a dumb move with my Sentinel and got it killed on an AOO from Meetra (forgot she had twin).I made a nice lightsaber defense save with Raana to prevent her from dying to the Echanni and triggering the Rolling Cleave. MVP for Dracul was (no suprise) Teethree. He flamed 3 of my guys to take out Raana and Xamar. My wookies got their revenge tho, blasting the poor droid through his power shield. I had Gnost, my covenant defender and a bunch of Wookies making cookies in end. Librarians get hungry for cookies, so they made an extra batch. I really like this squad and was glad I got to debut it and test it out! thanks Dracul for the fun games and hope you do well in the next round!

Sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well, Jim.
