So, I've been throwing around an idea for an online mini matchup of sorts. Inspired by the March Madness events on Wizards the past few years, I wanted to see who the baddest character is in the minis game since we now have them all. The idea is to take three versions of the same unique and pit them against each other and see how the brackets fill out. Members would pick matchups and play them on their own time and report the results. I wanted to get an idea if anyone was wanting to participate before posting all the stats and rules and stuff. If there are enough, I'll start a new thread in the online play forum for tracking the results.

Basically, the pieces are ranked by total cost of all three versions. Some of the characters are broken into faction (Sidious in Seps/Sith and Empire) or other criteria (melee Luke and non-melee Luke) and some break faction rules (Wedge in Rebel and NR) to fill out the spots for a 32 team tourney. All rounds would be played within the confines of the Ratattak Arena, but following regular skirmish rules. Each member would matchup the pieces and play himself for balance and go with the best of three series for each round. Some of the "teams" are below as an example - I'll post the full list I compiled if there are enough people interested in getting it going. All games could be played with real pieces or proxies or on Vassal.

Any takers? You don't have to commit to anything, just let me know if interested or confused.

Luke Skywalker – Rebel, melee 105
49 Luke Skywalker, Champion of the Force
29 Luke Skywalker, Jedi
27 Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight

Luke Skywalker – Rebel, non-melee 119
45 Luke's Snowspeeder
39 Luke Skywalker, Legacy of the Light Side
35 Luke Skywalker, Hero of Yavin

Luke Skywalker – New Republic 199
10 Luke Skywalker, Force Spirit
74 Luke Skywalker, Jedi Master
115 Grand Master Luke Skywalker

Darth Vader – Imperial 217
75 Darth Vader, Jedi Hunter
71 Lord Vader
71 Darth Vader, Legacy of the Force

I'll blame the allergy medicine since I wasn't clear. ;)

The matchup would be the three versions of non-melee Luke versus another character in three different versions. So, it would be three on three. The March Madness thing was a one on one bout, this would expand the single piece to three (all counting as the same Unique) working together. The multiple Luke's were not the best example and a bit confusing. Some early matchups would be very lopsided, but eventually would be a bit more balanced. The two below fall in the center of the brackets.

Mara Jade – Imperial / New Republic 125
31 Arica
49 Mara Jade Skywalker
45 Mara Jade, Jedi

(all three versions of Mara) would battle the three versions of Kyle:

Kyle Katarn – New Republic 131
31 Kyle Katarn
46 Kyle Katarn, Combat Instructor
54 Kyle Katarn, Jedi Battlemaster
