Thereisnotry defeats TimmerB123, 171-42 (3-0 for tint)
Tim brought a Priest and a Worker with his reinforcements and stole Mandalore's movement CE. I won the map roll so we played on Theed Palace. Tim set up on the right (in/around the Security Desk room), and I set up on the left (in/around the Faculty Office room and the alcove outside it).
Round 1: Simple advancement for both of us. I got gambit.
Round 2: I went first and killed some fodder with Kelborn. Mira then tossed nades at Tsavong/Priest/Subaltern; this killed the Priest and did minor dmg to Tsavong and the Subaltern. Vindicated then killed Quorreal, and used his CE to push Kelborn away from the door so that it closed. Tim advanced some fodder to the door, I shot that fodder with my last activation of the round. Then Tim advanced all of his dudes to surround my people, moving Tsavong last via the Yammosk's stolen CE, and then activating Tsavong to move past Vindicated (crit for 60dmg on the aoo) and erase Mira thanks to Jedi Hatred and Shaper and YY Devotion.
Round 3: I won init and used Kelborn to finish off Tsavong, then miss Khalee. The Tactician missed Khalee. Vindicated killed the Subaltern and put some damage on Khalee (no evade due to disruptive). Khalee missed his first Indiscriminate Reactions save, but made the second, to put 20dmg on Kelborn. Khalee then activated to put 30 more dmg on Kelborn via YY Devotion, leaving Kelborn at 40. Zenoc moved forward to open the door.
Round 4: We both rolled 20s for init, but I won it because of my Tactician +4. Kelborn eliminated Khalee, and Vindicated based Zenoc for 30dmg, and the Tactician hit once for 20dmg. Zenoc hoped for a crit to kill Kelborn, but missed instead. Then, adding salt to the wound, my lowly Demolitionist rolled a crit to kill Zenoc and finish the game.
This was already a lop-sided match against the Vong because their Evade comes from a CE (and is therefore disruptable), but playing on my map just made things worse. Thanks for the game, Tim!

Spry defeats Shmi 3-0 on Theed 174-0.
Honestly this was just a challenging matchup for Laura and the dice were also being very stubborn and didn't help. I think if her dice rolls were better then it would've ended up being a much closer game.
R1 I moved all of my Mando's Allies onto her half of the battle map to activate my twin and then had Cobb move to open a door so that he could pop out next round. Laura moved her units up in a tidy little box.
R2 Laura wins init and uses Han to put 40 on Din Djarin. Fennic Shand and Cobb Vanth work together to defeat Han. While Cara and Din work together to defeat R2 and get a hold on gambit.
R3 Laura wins init and uses Chewie and Leia to damage Cobb who has 30 left. Fennic uses a double grenade to kill Leia and put 30 on Chewie. Then Cara pops out and finishes Chewie. Din Djarin moves up to set up Whistling Birds next round.
R4 I win init and use Whistling Birds to damage Luke and kill Juno who had taken damage from a Cara shot in the last round. Luke takes an AoO to try and kill Cobb and takes 20 after rolling a successful deflect save. He misses both attacks and Cobb finishes him off.
As always it was a pleasure to play against Laura and had dice rolls been a little more friendly towards her it would have made it much closer.

urbanjedi (well sith today) defeats Gandalf 150-46
I won map and we played on theed.
1st round
Positioning for me and gandalf got in a shot at the end of the round on tulok and he took damage but got out of the way to avoid the twin.
Rd 2
I won init and was able to run 8 with tulok and rage to kill the hunter. He started beating up on tulok and I teleported in and did some damage to silri. Then Zannah got easy pathed out and was able to corrupt his whole group of remaining nightsisters (which was very devastating. Silri failed her corruption save and everyone was taking swings at tulok (some misses in there) and tulok was LS Throwing back at Silri when he could.
Rd 3
Gandalf won init and the best he could do was to use Mama T's cannon shot on the hunter to finally finish of tulok. But that left his other nightsisters still grouped up from the previous round, and another corruption made quick work of them.
Rd 4-5
Was just Zannah and finally wyyrlock joining the part to finsih the cleanup and do the last bit of damage to finish off Mama T.
I was certainly worried about this matchup (and I didn't make a single SSM save during the game) but Gandalfs placement mistake that left him open to multiple corruptions made quick work of the low HP nightsisters.

Gandalf's Nightsisters vs TimmerB123's Vong
TimmerB123 179 to Gandalf 86 (3-1)
Joe won map and we played on Rancor Pen, I started left. I brought in a Domain Lah Warrior and Dooje Brolo.
I sprinted into gambit with the NU Lahs and their speed 8. Made my way forward with the unique Lahs. He went forward to gambit with Silri. He found a line to pick off Dooje end of round with a canon shot.
A little dancing around round 2, he pulled his Hunters back just a touch, and then I sprinted in with Tsavong as my last activation after he activated out. I was exactly 6 away from Talia, with a hunter behind her. Big init.
I win init round 3 and take out Talia with Tsavong, triggering cleave and rolling cleave - killing the next hunter in line as well. He takes Tsavong down to 30 (thank goodness no opportunist!) with Siri and cannoning her. I then sprint my Lah Warrior in to base his last hunter, but he can't attack since my Lah Warrior still had aggressive negotiations. So he had to risk me not rolling 2 sevens to break and be able to attack. The risk paid off, I missed one and left the Hunter with 30. He didn't have the same bad rolls and was able to finish off Tsavong with his bloodthirsty "melee" plasma bolts, and I rolled under 10 on both crab armor saves. I thought I was sitting so pretty before but now I was worried.
He rolls a 9 on init, I roll a seven. I said that's a tie with tactician +2 - er crap. Tsavong is dead. He uses the NS Hunter before she dies to do 20 on my Lah Warrior (1 miss finally). I hit back to kill his hunter, rolling cleave into Silri and miss one to bring her down to 80. Then I bring in Khalee and kill an uggie, roll cleave into Silri, use Yun-Yammka and do 40, then hit for 30 more. She's at 10. Momma cannons Silri into Khalee and uses her own attack to finish him off, but can't risk moving due to being based by the Lah Warrior. I roll up with my Shamed one and miss, but then Supreme Overlord Quorreal comes in and takes out Silri. Swat Momma T for 30. Not quite to 150.
Win init and finish momma T off with the Domain Lah Warrior.
Always a pleasure to play Joe.

urban jedi defeats mando 182-14
It started off a bad matchup for mando.
I won map and we played on theed.
This game came down to basically 3 key rolls.
roll 1 was his droid failed an armor for its last 10 damage before it got to go again. This saved me using another attacker to finish it off and also it not being able to go to do some damage.
#2. Zannah made her activation save after getting lightninged (took 2 fprr)
#3. I won the init to be able to go and finish off his 20hp gideon before he got to go and take some swings (with Darksaber).
At the end of the match, tulak was down to 20hp (and out of force), zannah was at half health or so (and also basically out of force), and wyyrlock was also at half health. So if some of those rolls had gone his way instead of mine, could have made it a very interesting game with some different results.
