Rhen Var

I am available for a game NOW if anyone from my group is keen.

I have a go from this end! I'll start looking out for you from your 8pm (which I'm hoping is my 1pm). Are we bookface friends?

Just played Darth Moore.

He was plaing Cain and Able
and I was with Cin and Adi

He won map and we played on Rhen Var


2 rounds of SBM then focused lightning took care of R2, Adi, felucian, 50 on serra, and 50 on cin. I missed 2 attacks on vergere which cost me serra (in return for nothin) and Bane's overwhelming force made quick work of Cin. I might have been able to make a game of it it (and would have gotten 1 pt) if I had managed to kill his Marka ghost. First rd took him a reroll and a sith recruit to save it, but most of the rest of the game he made the save without even rerolling. Makashi Mastery, Overwhelming, and Lightning is a pretty poor matchup for me


final score was I think 151 to 88 so 2 pts for Darth Moore and none for me.

I will be available this evening if anyone is interested in a game. :)

(200pts. 10 activations)

I won map roll, and we played on Cantina.

This was a game of crazy rolls and swings. Kez set up in the storage room, and I set up in the atrium. The first round was mainly advancing toward the middle, with me claiming first round gambit with Cin. In the second round, ABM went on and things started to get really interesting. I lifted Cin into the private lounge to confront Satele, missing two rolls with Brutal Strike (ouch!). Satele responded the next round by putting 80 on Cin, who managed slightly better rolls before getting lifted away by Foul. Unfortunately, with 80 damage already on him and two beats bearing down, Cin was not long for this world; however, his compatriots proved equal to the task. Serra rolled two consecutive crits to put 100 damage on Revan, while Adi Gallia went after Ponda Baba. Once Scorch finished him off, Adi turned her attention back to Satele. Revan risked an AOO from Serra (missed) to go after Adi, rolling a crit, which she altered, but she wound up taking 30 damage. Revan and Satele were swapping in and out of the back hallway, where Foul had dropped Cin off. Foul had a chance to finish Revan, but unfortunately I made the decision not to reroll his first attack, leaving him with 10 HP. Adi Gallia also had some questionable judgment, choosing to reroll an attack against Satele rather than saving her force for a Jedi Mind Trick. Next round, R2 brings Serra Keto around to finish him off, and shortly thereafter we called it with a few minutes left on the clock, as one more round would not get me to 200 or him to 100.

This match was great fun--it's not often two primarily melee squads face off, and these two run so differently, it was a real challenge at times to figure out how to approach the problem. Thanks for the game, Kez!

This matchup is pretty map reliant though. We played another game afterwards on jabbas palace and it came down to an init. Great squad and I enjoyed seeing how jason ran it since handmaidens are one of my favorite pieces.

played against Amadeus

He ran http://www.bloomilk.com/Squad/140589/daalas-pre-party-troopers

I ran http://www.bloomilk.com/Squad/144646/xizors-karrdes

He won map and we played on Cantina.

As I suspected, with all the cover it and no way to deal with superstealth, it was an uphill battle. I made a couple of decent moves to snipe some of his door control to keep it interesting for a round or so. Then I moved up Xizor to take some shots (his high defense) and he got critted for 60. Then hit once more later so was down to 10. Then next round, I lost init and he missed so I thought I had a chance cuz I had a cool shot set up with the BG. But, I didn't see a spot he could get, so after shooting and killing my only scout, I left Xizor where he could be shot. BG had to take it to keep him alive at least, but after that it was pretty much over. Thought I could take out a second scout, but couldn't do it.

Final score was him 200 and me 46. 3 pts for him and zero for me.

My squad:
Yoda's friends throw their toys
51 Yoda on Kybuck
27 Lobot
23 Captain Panaka
20 Blizz
20 Captain Tarpals
16 Dr. Evazan, Galactic Criminal
16 Qui-Gon Jinn, Force Spirit

Tim's squad:
This could be . . . interesting
55 Xizor, Head of Black Sun
54 Cad Bane
32 Talon Karrde, Information Broker
27 Lobot
23 Nautolan Black Sun Vigo
6 Mouse Droid x2
3 Ugnaught Demolitionist
(200pts. 8 activations)

Reinforcements: 2 Twi'lek Bodyguards

I won map roll and chose Grand Plaza but then we discovered that it wasn't legal so I just chose Tim's map, Asteroid Base.

I outactivated in the first round, towed Yoda, moved him 26, then swapped in Blizz. Blizz then moved 6 and used double flamethrower on Cad and a bodyguard. I then won init and he moved Cad, but not to a safe place. Double flamethrower killed the Cad. Tim then killed Blizz with all his dudes. In the third round I made a dumb move where I moved Yoda 26 and then swapped in Evazan to find that I was 7 squares from Xizor. Instead of double surgery, I had to shoot and miss a mouse. Next round Tim made an aggressive move with all his attacking pieces to gambit. Yoda galloped them all. The round after that, Yoda galloped again, this time killing the other bodyguard and the Nautolan and putting 20 on Talon and 10 on Xizor. Xizor and Talon put 70 damage on Yoda. At the end of the round Evazan used surgery once on Talon. I lost init but swapped it with Qui-Gon, cleaning up Talon with Evazan. That just left Xizor, who moved to kill Lobot but died to Evazan and Yoda due to some good pheremones saves.

Final score was Darth O 213-40 TimmerB123 on Asteroid Base.

Although I'm on holiday I'm stuck on jury duty until (hopefully) Thursday evening. The only realistic timeframe to play any games before Monday is from Thursday 9:30 pm to Friday 4 pm (NZT). I've still got to play Flying Arrow, Minijedi, UrbanShmi, and Weeks. I won't organise any games yet, lest this court case goes longer than expected.
