So me and Deaths_Baine had our match the other night.
I was running New Republic
60 Corran Horn, Jedi Master
48 Luke Skywalker, Galactic Hero
29 Ganner Rhysode
28 Dash Rendar, Renegade Smuggler
14 Charda Fan Hacker
10 Jagged Fel
8 R7 Astromech Droid
3 Mouse Droid


and he ran Republic with the New Shaak Tii
Quinlan Vos
Aayla Secura
Doombot
Commander Fox
Dr Evazan GC
New Hacker
and 2 Spaartii's

Deaths_Baine let me pick map and I chose Ancherhead with me on the left and him on the right.
First Round we both head for the center and Fox was able to get into position to deliver 2 shots at Luke GH, but Both missed. I saw he was clumping up his forces at that upper door so I had put Luke into great Position to Lightsaber throw. But end of Round after I had exhausted all my pieces he used a Hacker to close that door.
Round 3 began with my trying to figure out the best way to get that door open. DB won Int and let me go first so I used my Hacker to open that door, hoping that I could next phase Levitate Luke into great position to get off a Ataru Master Lightsaber throw on 5 people. (wouldve been great!) but he used his hacker to lock me out again. So my next thought was to use my R7 to open the door but because of how I was setup the R7 was the guy who had overode that first door open and thus I would need him to hold both doors for that to work, but if I did Deaths_Baine could easily take him out with Shaak ti or Fox. So I bidded my time and had Corran and a Mouse Flank him going down from the bottom doorway. I figured I would have him there as a target to hopefully draw him out or as a Deterrent and threat for next round. Huge Mistake on my part. Deaths_Baine took advantage of my over extended piece to Tow Aayla down and Force Pull Corran over to her side of the map. (Very Clever way around his Jedi Reflexes BTW)Getting a Hit as she did so. (I thought the setup was great as I wouldn't be able to Levitate Luke to anywhere were I could both hit Aayla or Doombot without being within 6 from both of them thus Negating my Ataru Mastery) But after attacking he had her move to a more safer position taking 30 damage as she did so. My turn I retaliate with Dash who kills Doombot. Then he had Quinlan come down with the GMA he Conned away from Luke to deliver a Devastating Salvo with Ataru Mastery, Assassin for 4 attacks that would deal 120 damage, which is how much hp Corran had left. Moving adjacent I got to make a Jedi Reflexes AoO and got a Crit! For 50 damage! (walked into that one eh?)Needless to say Corran was a goner as Vos's attack was +20 to Corran's 21 def. Then he had DR E come down to heal up Vos. So after Corran died I devoted my Luke/Levitation Combo to hurt DR E and Vos, moving Luke right were he can pick up Ataru but was ineffective and did minimal damage. Then Fox and Shaak Ti Hound Luke and almost KO'ed him, but thankfully Shaak missed her second attack. Minor movements then onto round 3.
DB won Int again and had Aayla Pull luke to his Death. So I decided at this point to go all out and Levitated Dash into the clump of Enemies (adjacent to 3 baddies) were I could kill of at least one big character, but Dash wasn't a very good shot and didn't do enough damage.
Needless to say but he didn't last long adjacent to that many strong enemies. I was all a slaughter of me from here on out with the only really remarkable thing that happened being when Aayla Pulled Ganner to put lots of damage on only to get aced by him in return.

Deaths_Baine won 188 to my 68
Fun fun match!

My downfall was overextending my pieces, horrible luck, DB's incredible Luck (he never lost Intuition even once literally and figuratively) and Force Pull coupled with great tactics.

I gotta say Force Pull was the MVP of this game it owned me for sure.
Deaths_Baine was really really close to getting a 3 point win, but time was short and I thought it was totally within his grasp.
It was a great match and I'm hoping for an awesome round 2!
Legends format is quite fun and I'm hoping to see it go farther!

P.S Deaths_Baine was vary fun to play with and very forgiving of my mistakes, just a stand up guy in general.

oh I love kelborn, nothing against him. and I agree that he is one of the top pieces in mandos, I like the vindicated the most personally. I want to vote him out and replace him after a couple more v-sets come out because kelborn will be an auto include in every mando squad possible and I just like variety. basically I am hoping that between new v-sets and new legends sets that mandos will not have to rely on him.

A lot of good games going down tonight in the Legends tournament. I will try and update so people can jump on and watch if they want to. I think we have 4 games scheduled for tonight!?

Just cause he is an auto-inlcude doesn't mean he shouldn't be allowed in the tournament. Kelborn isn't that expensive and squads with him in it will see plenty of variety, so i think its a very poor excuse to vote to ban him. The Mando's wouldn't be nearly as good without Kelborn. He is the movement breaker they needed. It seems petty to me to try to exclude him. I know you like him, but just cause he is a very good piece shouldn't mean he needs to be excluded. He needed to be a good piece for the faction.

hold on everyone lol. I am not talking about anytime soon or anything. And the V-set all stars list is done by majority vote anyways. I have one vote in that matter and I can tell kelborn is a fan favorite and will be staying a long long time. I was talking like 2 vsets and a couple more legends sets down the road relooking at the all stars list. the all stars list is locked into place until the next v set comes out if you ask me personally.

about to begin my round 1 game with Darth_Rattlehead for anyone who wants to jump on Vassal and watch!

Hey guys being one of the creators and loving our set and not being able to play I would appreciate like a little summary of how the new pieces played.

when you make your play report just put a tad more focus on the TN pieces and how they played. Read all the play reports and dont really know how the pawn ability played, was it a real threat as you played, etc.

l will be voting Cin Drallig off the v-set all-stars next time ;)
(If I get a vote)
Thanks for the extra bit on Bane

A little while ago I finishe my game vs General_Grief. This being my first time ever competing in tournament, it was really fun.

Obiwan1knight
72 Darth Bane Dark Lord of th Sith
34 Darth Malgus Sith Warrior
28 Dash Rendar Renegade Smuggler
24 Alema Rar
14 Exar Kun DFS
8 R7 Astromech
16 Sith Recruits x4
3 Ugnaught Demo


General Grief
42 General Grievous, Hero of Hypori
30 Destroyer Droid
22 IG-100 Combat Droid (LEGENDS)
16 Nute Gunray Leader of the Naboo Blockade (LEGENDS)
15 BX Commando Droid Sniper
51 IG-86 Assasin Droid x3
9 Battle Droid Officer
6 Mouse Droid x2
6 Uggie Demo x2

I may have made a mistake with General Grief's squad but that is basically it.

General won the map roll so we played on Smuggler's Den. I set up on right, him on the left. Using the LEGENDS Nute Gunray's Droideka ability, General was able to move his destroyer droid across the map and damage my R7 and kill my ugnaught at the end of the first round. The second round was a set-up round where both of us carefully placed our pieces in preparation for the nex round's slaughter. I won initiative and he went first. It jsut so happened that the peices were placed perfectly for the following scenario: Malgus ran up in the middle of his characters an repulsed 2, damaging Grievous, a IG-86, the BX Sniper (Now with 30 HP) and killing a mouse droid. The repulse pushed the BX right next to another IG-86 and a mouse droid, so Alema Rar Zapped them with lightning killing the mouse and the Sniper, and damaging the other IG-86. Getting rid of those pieces early on helped a lot, especially when I forgot that Grievous had parry and then based him with Bane, thinking I could kill him. He made 2 of his parry rolls and bodyguarded the rest with the IG-100. That left me open for his Double Twin JEdi Hunter attacks, which cut right through Bane. Dash was perfect for finishing Grievous, although Bane ended up dieing. The rest of the game was hunting down the destroyer droid and the other IG-86's. We called game after all his attackers were dead, but General Grief fought valiantly to the end.

I'm not sure how the scoring works, as this is my first time in a Tournament.

I really like the LEGENDS Darth Bane. He is perfect against shooter squads, but falls like a sack of bricks against anything with a lightsaber. I think it really helped to have Dash as shooter support.

I'm looking forward to the next match!

I love this squad. When I saw that the list of V-Set All Stars included Cin, Quin and Aayla, I immediately knew what my first squad would be. But don't worry: I've got a bunch of other squads worked out too. I do love the beatsticks, though.
