thereisnotry defeats gandalfthegreatestwizard 210-122 (3-1) on FRIGID OUTPOST

I won the map roll and wanted to restrict Joe's avenues of approach, so I chose the Frigid Outpost. He set up his guys on the right side, so I set up in the middle of the left side, as per usual for this map. Joe's squad was designed to eat force users and commanders for breakfast, but fortunately for me, my squad had no force users and only one commander.

Round 1: All positioning. I blasted the door at the south end of my corridor, and Joe congregated his guys in 2 locations: near the little room just outside the gambit room, and near the south-east corner of the main building. No gambit. 0-0.

Round 2: I used Thorium Charge to safely blast the door on the south end of gambit. I swapped both IG-88 Assassin Droid and IG-88 Bounty Hunter so that they were ready to charge into the main room. Joe continued to patiently advance and position his guys. Then my IG-AD ran in and used Pulse Cannon to kill a 332nd and a 501st. BH followed him in, so that the two of them were close to each other and ready to unleash the pain next round. RexSoka re-opened the door that those troopers were holding. I advanced T3 and my baby-IG toward the gambit room, locking the door that was near them. Now that I was all out, Joe opened the door I had locked and charged his forces toward guys on the south end of gambit. After some shots and an Anakin charge, my baby-IG was dead. Gambit for me. 28-17 for me.

Round 3: I won init, so T3 double-Flamed Anakin (down to 70hp), Targeted him, and moved away, locking the door that he and R2 had been dueling over. RexSoka moved up and double-Twin Blaster'd IG-88BH (down to 20hp). Anakin then charged through the room and attacked my healthy IG-88 Assassin Droid with Cunning Attack, doing 50dmg after Shields. I moved a mouse into the room so that my guys could get the Twin CE. BH then shot Anakin with a hit and a crit, which allowed the Double to go into RexSoka...bad idea! Hit-Shien, Hit-Shien...10dmg to me! I then Flame'd RexSoka, who summarily Counterpushed my BH to death. Nasty. Tarkin shot at AD, but missed. An uggie blasted the door near RexSoka and Tarkin. IG-AD saw RexSoka standing there with no cover, needing 2s to hit. Obviously the best move is to attack, right? Nope! 4 hits, and 4 Shiens (6 successful Shien saves in a row so far), and AD took 10dmg after that exchange. I then used Pulse Cannon to at least do 10dmg to RexSoka and also Tarkin, while killing the ug. No problem, the Shien saves can't go on forever, can they? Can...they??? IG-88A (my sole commander) came out to shoot RexSoka needing 7s, but missed both. IG-88B moved up and swapped with AD so that AD would be in a slightly safer position. Ineffective shots at T3 because he's a boss (but not a commander). After I was out, some troopers blasted my flying Prowler droid, but I didn't care. Then the Legion Clone Commander shot my Mouse and I cared a bit more. Gambit for both. 76-66 for Joe.

Round 4: Joe won init, so RexSoka moved up (closing the door in the north of gambit)and slammed IG-88A four times, and I only made a single Shield save, so he lived at 10hp. I responded by charging T3 forward to Flame four targets ('cuz he's a BOSS), and open the door that RexSoka had allowed to close. IG-88B then moved up to kill Tarkin with Cunning, because I didn't want to have to deal with Tarkin's Cunning Attack CE anymore...then swapped with AD, who was now in a good position to attack an activated RexSoka. However, Joe made an excellent move with R2 to tow a 332nd trooper around the top to lock that door again, and kill IG-88A. My AD then moved to Pulse Cannon twice, killing the Legion Clone Commander and a trooper. Another trooper put some plink damage onto IG-88B. Gambit for me. 130-122 for me.

Round 5: I won this init, but I let Joe go first since I didn't have any good targets and I needed someone to open the door before I could attack RexSoka. The trooper shot at IG-88B again, to no effect. B then moved up to blast the door and shoot RexSoka with Cunning...again I couldn't get past the Shien saves: 7/7 by now...that's 210 damage prevented! T3 then flamed RexSoka (like a Boss), and they CounterPushed IG-B for 10dmg after Shields. RexSoka then ran in and smacked B a few more times but this time my Shield saves were fire, so I survived with 30hp. AD now double attacked RexSoka: YET ANOTHER Shien save! lol But then finally, my luck turned around: RexSoka failed the save on my second attack, and also the fprr, so they dropped to 30hp. Now I had a big decision: Pulse Cannon against them, when they've already spent fp this round, but also killing my IG-88B if I failed the save...or hold off, relying on T3 to finish the game next round. But if Joe wins init he can kill both B and T3 anyway...okay, I'm doing it! B made the save so he survived, and RexSoka failed. And that did it. Gambit for me. 210-122.



Wow, what a game! Making ALL your Shien saves (and preventing 240dmg)...that's a good strategy that I'll have to try some time. RexSoka were a menace because they just wouldn't take damage! However, T3 was a Boss and eventually things did turn around for me. Without those insane Shien saves this would've been a much more one-sided game because the matchup was really bad for Joe, since most of his tricks wouldn't work against a squad of follower-muggles. As always, it was piles of fun to play, Joe! Thanks for the game.

Mando (3pts) defeats Urbanshmi (0pts): 200-35

map played on was the Warriors Enclave

Laura set up on the left side.

The gizka were annoying little pests and made gambit a messy place to roam. After a few of them croaked, they just kept infesting the place making the shots hit a little easier from the Night brother Archers. I outactivated Laura's squad a lot and the gambit area was kinda open to allowing shots in against the apprentice and Palpatine from my Archers and Hunters. Taron Malicos did a couple Telekinetic Throws against Sidious to do 80 auto damage total which was a huge deal in taking him down. Sidious just kept making evade saves despite the gizka's and the plasma bolts, but eventually the sheer volume of shots took him down when he ran low on force points. It was a hard matchup to go against for UrbanShmi's squad and that i had the non-force user Nightbrothers didn't help with utilizing the Jedi Hunter on Juno and the Apprentice.

pairings in a few.
