Overley28 (114) defeated TINT (46) 3-0 on frigid outpost
I won map so tint set up on right.
R1 - mira was able to shoot his xt droid in round 1
R2 - The round was positioning and movement with tint getting into gambit.
R3 - Tint won initiative and carth was able to get to mira and kill her with ease. my T3 opens the door and revan runs up and tries to attack kana terrid but fails the phermones save and then does a repulse to get kana to 40 and satele to 70. satele returned the favor and did 80 to revan with kana terrid doing 20 via force lightning and t3 doing 20 via flamethower which left revan at 20 hp.
R4 - I won a crucial initiative and was able to hit satele a few times with revan and then repulse again which ended up finishing off satele, kana terrid, t3, and his ugnaught. I then sacked my xt droid and t3 went and flame throwed carth while providing some cover to revan. carth went by t3 and tried to finish revan but missed his shot. both get gambit
R5 - Tint wins initiative and carth misses his shot again so revan is able to finish him off.

What a close game tho! DarthMaim and I have our game today at 12pm Central if anyone wants to watch.

DarthMaim defeats Mando ( 105 to 45 ) on Frigid Outpost (3-0).
Mando chooses left side. We both set-up in the middle areas on our perspective sides.
Rnd 1: We both start moving towards gambit advancing our guys towards the middle. Mando's approach is to to the upper area of gambit and mine is to the middle.
Rnd 2: Both Mando and I get our 2 main minis to gambit, he in the top portion and I in the bottom portion. End of rnd, we both get gambit.
Rnd 3: Mando wins init, and Mara does her nasty grenade thing, and both Bane and Kas'im make their saves ( fp re-rolls ) and then Mira mobiles and agiles out of the room through the top blown door. Bane runs after Mara to base her. Kas'im goes in to attack The Mandalorian and hits, saves for beskar and counter pushes Kas'im away. The Mando moves in to twin Bane, misses the first, connects on the second, but Bane LD's the attack! The rnd ends with neither of us getting gambit.
Rnd 4: I win init. Bane slices Mira up and her day is over. The Mando whistle birds taking out an X-T and does 10 on Kas'im and 20 Bane after LS prot. Kas'im attacks The Mando connecting on 1 and missing on the second. Rnd ends with no gambit for either side.
Rnd 5: Mando wins init. The Mando connects on both twins, taking Kas'im down to 10 hp.
( I have to go, but I will continue this post in an hour or so )

NoffyD defeats UrbanShmi ( 112 to 61 ) on Ravaged Base (3-1).
Can't remember the whole thing but here is my (probably misinformed) account
I win map roll and shmi chooses right. the nexus sets up right outside gambit with wyrrlock.
round 1 is just movement towards the centre. stryfe spends 2 fp on force awareness at the start of his turn. nexus gives wryylock a force point and easy paths strye who fails the save and takes 10. my hunters move up with talia and invis potions. shmi forgets to move with force awareness because my hunter who just change positions outside of it's turn.
round 2 starts and i win init. exit invis potion with talia and hunter adjacent to the door. this time stryfe does his force awareness. i go first and talia spins so the door check can happen. wryylock and nexus do their thang and i move up with the zombie to open a door and get a two shots with a hunter on stryfe. i'm pretty sure i missed one and hit the other. Stryfe activates and move out of the way. talzin is special and forgets to canon one of my hunters. some other stuff happens.
round 3 i lose init and i go first. zombie hits an ordanance. it takes out an xt6 with self destruct and my zombie takes ten (he makes presence of dark side save.) he moves into the middle of the hallway to make moving in there more annoying. Wyyrlock rises out of his grave and spends one of his own and one of the nexus' force points to move 4 squares more. he whacks talia twice and she water of lifes herself when she activates so she is on 40. hunter 1 and hunter two take down wyyrlock with the help of talzin. stryfe is still gaining those annoying force points.
round 4 is pretty eventful. i lose init and shmi goes first and charging assaults with stryfe to get talia gone. he takes an AO from a hunter. with talia down i fell broken hearted and disconcerted. i proceed to stab stryfe 4 times in the back with my hunters. they all miss lol. talzin activates and lightning on styfe to take him down to 50. cannons a hunter to attack him twice. though he has blood thirsty stryfe still manages to bubble it down to 40.
round 5 was sad because i lost init and all rounds where i lose init are sad :(. shmi being the meanie she is takes out a hunter with crushing blow. i lightning her with talzing and that ends the game.
hope you found my detailed summary boring and long. good game shmi.

Kas'im attacks The Mando, connecting for 10 after Bskar save. Here's where it got really dicey ( no pun intended  ). Bane activates and chooses to attack The Mando, and connects and then The Mando attempts to counter push Bane into the pit of death ( upper area of map ) and nearly succeeded  ; first save roll a 6- force pt re-roll is a 3- , last force pt re-roll = 20! Mando definitely would have won the match then and there if Bane had fallen to his death. Bane then connects on his next attack, Mando saves, rolls a 1 on next attack, then connects on last, Mando saves. Rnd ends with neither side getting gambit. Rnd 6: Mando wins init. The Mando takes out Kas'im and chooses to break away from Bane, taking 20 dmg ( 2 bskar saves - he's down to 20 hp ) and moves away, saving his last FP for Counter push. Bane moves to attack The Mando, activating LA, rolls an 18 ( whew- thank the Gods for Juyo style ), so that Bskar didn't make a difference, and The Mando goes down before he could activate Counter Push! Wow!!!!! What a close match. Much closer than the score indicates. Definitely could have gone either way. Bane rolling 3 times for the pit save was the key. Always a blast playing with you Mando. Thanks for the really fun game

talia twice and she water of lifes herself when she activates so she is on 40.
Oops. Water of Life only heals an adjacent living character.

I am having trouble picturing where in gambit you guys are on frigid outpost that wouldn't be next to green and the auto-fail of the grenade saves.

In rnd 2, when I saw that Mando had the drop on the top area, moving The Mando to block entry to gambit, I re-routed my entry into the gambit zone with Bane and Kas'im, choosing to enter from the bottom ( Kas'im in gambit at the bottom and Bane outside of the gambit zone, holding the door open, to avoid the cover areas, thus not triggering "Rigged Detonators", when Mira tossed them in rnd 3

Oops. Water of Life only heals an adjacent living character. I don’t think it matters as she would’ve still stayed on 20.
