After first round of playoffs
DarthMaim over ConnorKenobi
James over Ricky

DarthMaim vs James in Final

Final!

Darthmaim over James, in a hard fought, bloody to the last mini battle!!!!!!!! I'll post my squad and play report asap

Summary, - the hazy details of my mid-life brain

1st rnd:

I played vs James and his ridiculous NR Sarlacc Pit squad! I never knew how annoying that thing was! I won map so we played on Rhen Var. He takes right side. He starts Sarlacc in gambit blocking a main way in. With Battle rdy, I'm in gambit rd 1 also, but taking dmg as I enter, which I don't mind ( Scarification ). As he tried to take his guys through the middle, it gave me the edge in rnd 2.

Rnd 2, I unleash on the filthy pit!

Sorry, fast forward to the end;

After 5 rnds, I take out Col Jacen Solo and the Sarlacc ( Jaina Solo Fel parries everything, ugggh! ) and he takes out 3 Jedi hunters. Final score 130-100. 2 pt victory. 1-0.

2nd Round:

I played Jeremy's Sith Baras squad. This was a lopsided Jedi-hunter bbq. He won map but chose my map. I set-up right side. He sent his dudes into the room from the top, but sent Vader down by himself to try and make a run for my commanders in my starting area. Luckily, I left a jedi hunter partially back, in case of any Sith shenanigans. He made a mistake and I was able to base and dmg. Then in winning init, I clubbed Vader's head off with cunning and jedi-hunter. The rest of the way was downhill for the Sith. Final score 239-20. 3 pts. 2-0.

3rd Round:

I played ConnorKenobi's OR Revan squad. He won map, so we played on Offworld Shipping. I chose left side. Rnd 1, I easily have my main dudes lounging in gambit, thanks to Battle rdy and cruising into the room. Rnd 2, he opens the door and Satele cunnings the crap out of a Jedi-hunter, then chillin, after making her parries. Then Kao Cen Darach, Jedi Battlemaster, finishes the job! Doh, I forgot that Satele and Kao, were being disrupted from Nom, but forgot to negate their quick strikes . Then he goes after Nom, to take out Disruptive. Succeeds in that, but anyways, Satele started missing her parries, and the 3 remaining Jedi hunters made quick work of the Jedis, adding more kill notches on their battle club/staffs, in a few rnds or so. 241-125. 3 pts. 3-0.


Playoffs:

ConnorKenobi rematch: Ouch time! More Jedi's to club a 2nd time. I win map roll. Rhen Var time. He chooses right side, and sends his dudes up the middle. I'm again in the gambit room 1st rnd. Gotta love Battle rdy! 2nd rd, I move the Jedi Hunter conga line, to block his entry into the gambit room. Satele leaps into the room, to take out Nom again but again the dice Gods are not in her favor, and her parries come up short. The blockage at the door, allowed only 2 of his dudes to engage at a time, and Revan and Ven, and the gang, are just not up to all this Jedi hate. On to the final!


Final:

Rematch against James' NR Sarlacc Pit squad. Uggh. Again this annoying pit monster. I win the map roll again! Thank you dice Gods! He sets up right again. This time, he has a good plan to divide my 4 hunters. He sends Defense Beacon Kol up the top way, to go after my command bunker. Luckily, I left a couple Jedi Hunters back midway, in case of any NR shenanigans. The other 2 went to deal with the Sarlacc. As they were rolling 2 and 3's against the pit monster, and Jaina Solo Fel was cunning the crap out of 1 of them and then he missed his clamp save from the Sarlacc, and he was toast. Thankfully the other Jedi hunter, with the help of his late buddy, took out the Pit monster! Luckily the guys going against Defense beacon stud (who was trying to flank my commanders), took him out with some lucky crits. They quickly got back to help the 3rd Jedi hunter, who was running away as fast as he could from the onslaught of Col Jacen, Jaina Solo Fel, and Vergere. But he fell, as the last 2 hunters approached. Then, Jaina and Jacen slugged it out in the 2 square corridor with the 2 hunters, and were able to take out a 3rd hunter, however not before Jaina missing a couple key parry saves, and these hunters were doing 40 or 50 a pop! Stupid turncoat Vergere was healing from behind! The bloody battle ensued with only 1 Jedi hunter barely alive, and ded Jedi's all around. He then made quick work of brotherin' Vergere, and the true Vong team would prevail on this day! A really fun championship game, that could have gone the NR way, with a few critical parry save misses, and a couple lost initiatives in key situations, that swayed cunning in my favor.

It was a beautiful summer day in sunny southern Cali, with a nice cool breeze, in the great outdoors! We were chillin in the shade, wearing masks and playin' SW minis. It had been 5 months since we all picked up D20's and threw down, so it was an Epic day, in so many ways........................................................

Good point! ConnorKenobi probably would have ignored Nom in both games then. Interesting. It certainly would have changed his strategy, and may have made it closer in our matches. He could have focused all attacks on the hunters. And in the second match, perhaps he wouldn't have leaped Satele into the Lions den to take out Nom, but his squad was bottlenecked out of the interior room, by my Jedi-hunter conga line. I'll reach out to him, and suggest a friendly rematch of our playoff game, for the fun of it. Thanks for pointing that out
