DarthMaim defeated UrbanShmi 144-48 ( 3-0 ) on Frigid Outpost.
I won map roll and so off to the snow we went. I chose an AOL Consular and an AOL Trooper for Farfallas Reinforcements. Laura chose the left and set up in the area of the snow vehicle and I set-up in the usual areas on the right with some of my guys outside and adjacent to the upper middle left portion of the room and the remainder inside
and close to the middle door of the room, as close to the door as possible.
Rnd 1: I win init. It's the usual trek to gambit, except that for Laura, thanks to Lor San Tekka, Luke starts in gambit, and after Mara intuitioned and then moved 6 towards Luke after Lor San ended his turn, so she joined her other half in gambit, as well. She gets gambit, I do not.
Rnd 2: I win init again, but her rolls keep getting higher every init, which is scary for me, as her rolling gets better and better as the match goes on, as I will write about in later rounds. The beginning of this rnd had us both moving our guys to strategic positions, and when she had 1 mini left ( Mara ), I had Farfalla make his move to go open the right middle door to the room/area, just below the gambit room. Mara sharpened her lightsaber and saw her chance to try and put a 90 dmg hurt on Farfalla, but after a Force Bubble and 2 successful Makashi's, he only took 10 dmg. As she was done activating, Johun, moved and struck Mara, but as I mentioned before, her subscription to Vassal kicked in and she saved. Then, my 2 Echani's moved 14, 1 basing Mara, the other 1 square away, both taking an attack of opportunity, but she missed 1 Echani, and hit the other, but it was FB'ed. She gets gambit, once again, I do not.
Rnd 3: She wins init
. Mara Force pushes an Echani away, from her, and she once again, FB'ed it. Seeing the Hero of many battles eyeing to lock half of my Force out of the middle room below gambit, an Echani spends a Force to go destroy R2, and in 1 swift swing, he's deactivated. Johun, decides to be heroic, spends a Force to move further, breaks away from Mara, she slices him for 20 dmg, and he Ambushes Lor San Tekka, and down went the old guy, completing the "Elder Abuse" circle. Luke, not happy with losing his beloved R2, moves in and attacks Johun 2 times, hitting for 60, only taking 40, after FB. The other Echani moves in to base Mara and hits for 60 on 2 attacks, but Laura's high rolling continues and she Defenses 1 of the attacks, so she only takes 30 dmg. Farfalla attacks Mara with double attack and hits both, and unfortunately, this time she fails her defense save, so she takes 40 dmg total, bringing her down to 40 hp. I activate the rest of my team and the round ends. I get gambit and Laura does not.
Rnd 4: Laura wins init once again! Mara attacks a based Echani and after 3 attacks, she misses 1 ( FP reroll misses on 2nd ), and hits 2 times, but after a FB, and a successful Shields save, the Echani takes 20 dmg. Then an Echani attacks Luke, but Luke LD's 1 and the 2nd attack misses. Johun attacks Mara and hits her 2 times, but once again, she successfully LD'ed 1 and connects on the other for 30 dmg, bringing her to 10 dmg. Luke breaks away from Johun and moves in to slash an Echani for 60 dmg, but she takes only 40 dmg after a FB. C3PO breaks away from Johun and takes 30 dmg. Farfalla attacks Mara and does absolutely nothing because he missed 2 times ( FP RR ) and then she LD'ed the other. An Echani then comes in and slices Mara in half, as she LD'ed 1 attack, then the other hit, and she finally went down. With the Rolling cleave, she then attacks Luke 2 times, hitting for 30 dmg, as Luke LD'ed the other hit. AOL trooper moved in and did 20 dmg on Luke, thanks to a high roll and Wicket's traps, and Luke being out of FP's! The round ends with me getting gambit and Laura not.
Rnd 5: Laura wins init again! Luke attacks an Echani 2 times ( having to FP re-roll 1 of the attacks ), and 1 Echani goes down! Johun activates and takes out C3PO. Farfalla attacks Luke, and hits for 20 dmg on a FP less Luke. Then, once again an AOL trooper comes in and hits Luke for 20 dmg ( thank you Wicket! ), as Luke has no FP's left. Round ends with me getting gambit, and Laura not.
Rnd 6: I finally win an init! An Echani attacks a FP less Luke, and the he finally goes down. The round ends and I get gambit and the game is over with my point total at 144.
With Laura winning the crucial inits in rnds 3, 4, and 5, it was a stressful time for me in navigating her 2 powerhouses from all the damage they can dish out. Surprisingly, I give the MVP of my game to Wicket and my AOL Trooper. Wicket, allowed me to be able to hit Mara and Luke ( -4 to their defenses ), and Wicket connected on 2 spear throws in the game ( 20 dmg total ), and the AOL trooper did 40 dmg on Luke during the game, which were both very unexpected, but key to reducing hp's on her 2 key main characters. Of course, winning the last init, allowing me to finish off Luke in the end, was huge, as well. Always a pleasure throwing down D20's with you Laura. Good luck in the rest of the GE Tourney!
