thereisnotry defeats DarkDracul 3-0 (230-0) on Warriors' Enclave

I won the map roll and Bryan set up on the right, in the big area near the top of the map. I set up in the normal startup area on the left side.

Round 1: Mostly positioning. I carefully checked LOS and saw that he had no way to shoot any of my people in the first round. However, I forgot about Lux's cannon-CE...a Partisan ran 12 and then Lux gave him some shots vs R2, needing 11s...one hit and that was bounced back onto the attacker thanks to my Shieldbearer. Gambit for me, 10-0.

Round 2: Bryan won init, so his wounded Partisan shot at R2 again, but both attacks missed; he then stepped back behind the door. R2 towed Yoda up, who then needed to roll 7s to kill Jyn...but he missed twice, which meant I had to fprr twice, which meant that I couldn't finish her off with a LS Throw at the end of his turn. She then stepped up to whack Yoda for 40s with Twin, but Yoda made his Reflect save, and she failed her save and so she died anyway. Bryan's R7 locked the big door to the right of gambit, separating his guys from Ani/Obi. I used Atlatl with my Shieldbearer to kill a Gizka, but another one took its place. Ani/Obi advanced, protected by the gungan. Coleman caused more Gizka shenanigans. Yoda spent the remainder of his force points and took 40 dmg as the rest of Bryan's squad poured their firepower at him. Gambit for me, 52-0.

Round 3: I won init so Yoda killed a Partisan and stepped back to relative safety. Evazan healed Yoda (requiring a fprr from Yoda to not take damage instead!). Coleman killed--actually killed!--the Gizka and then ran back to safety. Partisan repositioning. R2 opened the door then Ani/Obi moved up to kill 2 Partisans. Bryan then threw all his guys at Ani/Obi, basing him with most of them. After the fp were spent and dice were rolled, Ani/Obi were down to 70hp and 2fp, and based by 3 Partisans and Saul Gerrera. Gambit for me, 121-0. Big init coming up, because Saul has a nasty double-twin queued up if he wins it.

Round 4: I won init! Ani/Obi proceed to everyone beside them with a triple (including a crit) and then a LS Sweep, and that was the game. 230-0.


My squad was essentially designed to counter squads like this (lots of shooters who don't want to get adjacent), so it was a very bad matchup for Bryan. The dice seemed to be fairly even, and if that last initiative had gone the other way then Ani/Obi might've gone down. We finished with more than 20 minutes left on the clock, so the game progressed quite quickly, even with a 16-activation swarm on the board. Thanks for the game, Bryan!

DarthMaim defeats Randy 2-0 ( 177-13 ) on Outpost 1.


Randy won map roll, so I chose the left side and set up in the middle room. He split his forces with some near the top and many in the middle, so that later he could send a couple to try and get some crossfire, on my guys.

Rnd 1: I win init, and I run my Echani's up to the middle room and into gambit, along with most of my guys outside the main room and the gambit zone. Bastila chills in the back room. Randy moves most of his shooters to nice vantage points to be able to charge in and start blasting my guys, leaving his commanders back, drinking coffee in the right, middle room. He positions some above the middle gambit room and a couple down below the main gambit room. We both blow a few doors. I get gambit, he does not.

Rnd 2: I win init, and I activate a scrub. Randy charges up with an Elite Scout and blasts my XT. We both take turns blowing doors. Then Randy charges a Shadow Scout around the bottom of the gambit room, and finds a Los, to try and take out an AOL trooper, who evades the first blast, then after his Imp Officer activates, a cannon blast from the Elite Scout, he evades that blast like a boss! Then another Elite Scout charges around the bottom of the middle gambit room blasting the AOL trooper, and down he went. More door blowing up action! Then Bastila time! She got in her yoga criss cross apple sauce meditation position. Meanwhile, I manuevered some guys to open 2 inner doors, which led me to my goal of spending a Force point on my last Echani to activate this round, to get to one of his Elite Scouts who had moved up above the middle gambit room, and she sliced him in half. I get gambit, he does not.

Rnd 3: Randy wins init. A Shadow Scout blows a door. An Echani Spends a Force to reach an Elite Scout, and she sliced him in half as well. Bastila meditates again. He concentrates a bunch of his guys to try and kill an Echani, and after Shields and Bubbles, she takes 10 dmg! Then after the rest of his guys blast her, after Shields and Bubbles, she takes another 10 dmg! I get gambit and he does not.

Rnd 4: I win init! Interestingly, I deferred and let him go first. 1 of his Imp Officers blasts the wounded Echani in the face and she bubbles it. She proceeds to slice another Elite Scout in half! Then another Echani moves in to attack a Scout Trooper Officer, and down he went. A Shadow Scout blasts the wounded Echani, and she shields 10 away, and takes 10, and she's down to 40 hp . His last Elite Scout Trooper defeats and AOL trooper. An AOL trooper whacks a Shadow Scout and he goes down. Bastila is tired, so she takes a nap . 2 Echani's run 14 spaces to try a noble attempt to get to his command bunker. 1 of his Shadow Scouts blast 1 of them and she takes 10 dmg. Then another 1 crits, and she's down to 20hp! I get gambit, he does not.

Rnd 5: I win init! An Echani takes out another Shadow Scout. His Elite Scout Trooper, brandishes his blaster, only to have it fail to connect. Then a Imp officer tries and go and he fails as well, which activates a cannon shot, which also misses. An Echani moves in and slices GA Rulf Yage in half. His commanders start swarming an Echani to try and blast the hell out of her, but fail most heinously. Johan and Farfalla team up to take out the last Elite Scout. An Imp officer and Daala move up and try to pop shot the wounded Echani but both miss. Then her sister sees this and says, don't mess with my sis, and with 2 swings of her laser sword, the mighty Daala goes down in a blaze of glory. I get gambit, and Randy does not, as time had ended. Final score 177-13.

Tough uphill battle for Randy, as his squad was heavily dependent on CE's, and Bastila wasn't having it. Most of his guys all benefitted from Prideful, but not having Charging Fire, and Cunning, and Opportunist, and the officers cannon shots in the critical middle rounds, sealed his teams' fate. Towards the end of the match, Randy told me that I should have reached 200 easily, as I stupidly didn't use the Echani's "Rolling Cleave" in a few instances ( basically the whole match ), which I am embarrassed to report on . Live and learn, again and again and again. My whole day today was me being a brain dead zombie at work and at home on Vassal, but I digress. Thanks for the game Randy. It's always a pleasure throwing down Vassal SWM's & dice with you!

Mel and I are playing this evening.

Good to hear from you Jak!
