squads and schedule posted. updated the first post with the start date and when we need the games done by. i'm going to be going on vacation in the second week of November and won't have access to internet to play my game. Would it be ok with everyone if we extended round 4 to be over a couple weeks to get the game in?

thereisnotry defeats UrbanShmi 236-55 (3-0) on Simulation Deck
I won the map roll and Laura chose to set up on the right. The Gizka was by a center door and Luke was a bit advanced but not all the way forward.
Round 1: I blasted a central door. Luke cloaked. I blasted the door Luke was hiding behind, then Jango did a big Furious Assault that hit 8 targets...and did a total of 40dmg because Laura's Evade dice were HOT. Most people advanced.
Round 2: I won init and charged a Supercommando up to lay 20dmg onto Anakin, who was hiding behind a wall outside of gambit. Ganner levitated Mara forward, and she then charged that SC, but I made all 3 of my beskar saves so he lived at 20hp. Jango used Furious Assault to shoot most things, but once again he did little actual damage...but importantly, he brought R2P0 to 20hp. My Elite SC then moved up to flame Luke, Lor San Takka, and R2P0. This killed the droids. Anakin killed my low-hp SC, who laid his deathshots into Mara, who deflected the first one (she's now at 70, Ganner at 30). Luke hit my Elite SC for 20. I spent the rest of the round using flames to kill Anakin and drop Mara to 20hp.
Round 3: Laura won init. Mara used Intuition to move to a safer location, but I followed her with a snazzy use of Resolnare, so she would face a nasty AoO if she tried to move away. Instead Ganner levitated her away so that she could help Luke. However, this left Mara beside Luke...more flames! Mara and Lor San Tekka died...Luke crit my Elite SC, so he died and did a deathshot of his own, which brought Luke to 20hp. My Captain heroically flamed Luke again to finish him off. Jango, a True SC, Kelborn, and Jaster then worked together to drop Ganner to 10hp. I won init and Kelborn killed Ganner and damaged Wedge. Wedge retaliated minorly. My other guys finished him off. Jango finished the game by flying into gambit and using Furious Assault to kill that blasted Gizka.
Laura's Evade and Deflect dice were smokin' but they weren't enough to overcome the map disadvantage. And flamethrower was handy in this game too (since I knew that almost none of my shots were going to land). Thanks for the game, Laura! Best of luck to you in the rest of the GE.

Randy defeats DarthMaim 238-98 (3-0) on Jungle Tomb I took the WOTC Jedi Exile. He took Preferred Reinforcements: (Farfalla) 15 Army of Light Consular (Farfalla) 5 Army of Light Trooper The Army of Light set up in the War Room. I was running through the jungle. (Whoa, don't look back to see) Round 1 I used Kreia's Manipulation to push forward. First round was all positioning. I moved 1 square into gambit with The Outcast and The Exile. Visas Marr and Hanharr behind them. T3 behind them. Atton moved out and locked his door. Then I got Porgs. The Army of Light was packed in South of the East door. I turtle in my kill box. Gaining Force and biding my time. At the end of the round an Echani Jedi charged in and smacked Atton for lethal damage. I missed the first roll. Force Point Re-Roll. Made it, Porg, made it. I win my first initiative. Atton hands the Echani Jedi 120 damage for Halloween and retreated out the door. 2 more Echani Jedi charged in. The first swings on The Exile. One hit, one miss. The second ran through my offensive line and hit my pet Loth Cat. Then cleaved into the XT-6. I won another Init and Atton hands another Echani Jedi 120 damage and moved next to Visas. One Echani Jedi gives The Jedi Exile 40 damage to drop her to 50. Another charged in to hit Atton. Visas took all of the damage. Hanharr handed another Echani Jedi a big ole rug hug. A well timed Force Defense left the Echani defenseless and Hanharr backed away from her lifeless body. A canon shot from Atton and Visas with a Crit/Force Defense took out The Last Jedi. The Exile backs up. I manipulated around the Monument with Kreia and Hanharr. Atton moved up in to the rubble at the top of the room. Kreia went first, moved into his squad and used Kreia's Pain and Hunger to drain some force before her and Hanharr took Johun Othone to the grave. Valenthyne Farfalla charge past her and Hanharr to take out Atton. He was able to Makashi Style Mastery Kreia's damage away but Hanharr tagged him with a Crit. This time Atton was not able to avoid defeat and was removed from game. The Exile and Visas met his challenge, but did not land any real damage. I won yet another Init and manipulate Kreia toward Farfalla. Then with GMA, Death Strike, Extra Attack, and the Hunt for Revan she proceeded to avenge Atton when the clock ran out. The Killiks of Light continued to charge in, but without Prideful and a series of bad rolls, they did not do well. With 5 rounds of gambit I was able to clean up enough small characters to go over the point total and finish the game. My rolls were good, his were not. On round 5 he almost had every one Join the hive. Rolling multiple 20s on his join saves. Atton getting to Avoid Defeat was B.I.G. Atton delivered 240 damage in his second life. MVP. Visas was key to keeping characters alive and did a respectable amount of damage. Hanharr defeated nearly half the squad. Good hunting to DarthMaim, he should get a better set of rolls in the next game. Quote:Over on the mountain, thunder magic spoke

Better run through the jungle
Whoa, don't look back to see

Whoa, don't look back to see This was the match in a nutshell; 1. He brought in "The Jedi Exile", which gave his 3 main greater mobile attackers an extra attack, not to mention his other attackers as well. 2. He won the map roll. 3. I stormed his castle/kill box!  4. I killed Atton 3 times.  ( or was is 4 times, I lost count  ) Randy and I talked about Atton at the end of the match, and he alone, I believe, did almost 300 dmg, by himself?  5. He won all the critical inits. 6. He saved almost all of his LD's. 7. He had a 90 hp bodyguard. 8. I missed key attacks. 9. His rolling was insane. My rolling sucked. I mean, my nat 20's were on Killik saves. Really?!? Come on! End of story. Game, set, match.

DarkDracul defeats Hi-Fives 122–111 on Command Deck
We both had Command Deck and tied the first map roll. I won the reroll, and Hi-Fives chose the left side. Naturally, we also tied our first initiative roll and had to reroll that too!
Round 1: Hi-Fives advanced his droids, using Todo and BB-9E to control doors while positioning his IG-88s and Elbee. I advanced my Jedi toward the center, but his shooting was already causing problems. I lost T3-M4, and several of my characters took damage.
Round 2: Hi-Fives continued his careful positioning and picked off one of my Echani Jedi. My Army of Light Consular managed to heal another Echani back to full health. The highlight of the round for me was my Old Republic Rookie drawing a ridiculous diagonal line from nearly one corner of the map to the other and putting 20 damage on BT-1. I proudly declared, "See, I have shooters too!" Naturally, the Pit Droid repaired the damage, but it's the small victories!
Round 3: Things finally started happening! One Echani Jedi eliminated BB-9E, and 0-0-0 also went down. Another Echani managed to put 80 damage on Elbee before Sarro Xaj finished him off. Unfortunately, the IG-88s were still a serious threat, and my Echani were taking a beating. With 70 minutes gone, we were still only in Round 3, so I requested an additional round if things didn't pick up.
Round 4: Sarro eliminated the IG-86 Assassin Droid, but BT-1 used his double Flamethrower to finish off my remaining Echani Jedi. Farfalla and Johun tried to put some damage on BT-1, but the Pit Droid kept repairing him.
The clock expired during Round 4 while I was ahead on points, but we continued for one more round.
Round 5: Johun managed to eliminate Todo 360 before falling to the IG-88 Assassin Droid. Hi-Fives moved his remaining droid into gambit, but I held on to win 122–111.
Hi-Fives played masterfully, carefully plotting movement, drawing lines, and working through a mountain of saves. Unfortunately, all that careful play consumed an enormous amount of time. I was fortunate to establish an early lead and hold on for a very narrow victory.
Thanks for the game, Hi-Fives! Best of luck in the rest of the tournament!
