I'm playing a solo game, too. So looks like we'll have 3 games of this match-up played. Interested to see how it works out.

EDIT: Here's my result. (And this is also why I'm late posting the next game. Sorry about that.)

Map: Command Deck

Round 1: Advance. Gambit for both. Droid commanders hide in cells. 10-10

Round 2: Seps set up 3 trios of commandos (2 Snipers with a Spotter). Embo advances and is in range of CDCaptain. Seps have to go first just to close the cell door. Since Embo can't kill the commander, he rolls up and misses 2 shots on a BX Commando Sniper (No BH hurts him.) But the Wookiee charges in and kills 1 Sniper and puts 40dmg on a 2nd. Seps move a Mouse up so the most-forward Commando gets it Double. Combining with the Spotter behind him on the first, it hits both to kill the Wookiee. Mira takes out the damaged Sniper with Grenades, also greatly damaging the Spotter behind it. Sniper rolls a 2 vs Embo in cover but hits because he was combining fire (+22atk); 50dmg redueced to 40. Double hits without combine-fire, 40 reduced to 30. Next Sniper kills Embo but wastes his Double Atk. Talon kills the damaged Spotter. Aves and Morrigan each kill a Mouse that the Seps through in front as cannon fodder. R7s take turns locking and unlocking the same door. Last 2 Snipers go. First one gets a crit while combining fire to kill Aves in one shot (huge failed Evade). Last Sniper gets some damage on Talon. Gha grabs gambit (forward Commandos in gambit were all killed). 119-75 Seps

Round 3: Fringe wins init. Goes first. Advances Mira. Commandos regroup. Mira kills a Sniper and tries to hide, but together the other Snipers are covering everywhere she might hide, so she goes to where no spotter can see her. Sniper doubles. One crit miss, 2nd hits for 30. Sep Uggie blows a door. Gha hits Talon. Talon kills an Uggie. Uggie bases a Commando and the Spotter kills it. Morrigan kills a Sniper. Two Snipers left. One sees Morrigan but no Spotter for help. Hits both, one evaded. Seps take position. Gambit to Fringe. 122-121 Seps.

Round 4: Seps win init. Choose to go first. Seps position and can see both Mira and Morrigan. Fringe hides Mira, hoping for Morrigan to Evade. First shot, combining fire, hits, failed Evade, dead Morrigan. 2nd shot puts 30 on the R7. Mira's Grenades kill an Uggie and put 40 on a Sniper. She Mobile/Agiles to safety so she can't be shot by the other Sniper this round. R7 hides. CDCaptain (who had come out of the cell last round) kills an uggie. After Fringe is out, Sep fodder plays some games... uggie blocks one exit and R7 locks another so that Mira can't escape at the top of the next round. The Sniper and Spotter who couldn't shoot this round move to get a shot at Mira. Gambit for both. 166-134 Seps.

Round 5: Seps win init. Intuition to cover everywhere Mira can run (stuck in the gambit room). Mira is stuck but moves to where she at least has cover. Doesn't matter: +22 combining fire. Puts Seps to 194pts. Talon kills an uggie before Seps get gambit to win. Final score: 204-137.

I picked the map just because it seemed pretty balanced and I hadn't played on it in a while, but after playing I think it favors Seps slightly. Not too much green for Mira. Some - but it's avoidable mostly. And nowhere to hide in gambit, and hard to hide outside gambit.

GAME #7: "ehh..." vs "Rouge 1 Standing By"

Please vote for which squad you think would win, assuming equally skilled players (1 point per vote).
Try to persuade others to agree with you.
If you play a game with these squads against yourself (solo playtest), it's worth 5 points to the winning squad.
Two-player games count even more (10 points to the winning squad).
The squad with the most points wins.

If fingersandteeth and CorranHornsux123 themselves (or their designated proxies) play any games, they are worth 1000 points each, so they pretty much dictate the final result, regardless of other voting or other results.

45 Han Solo, Corellian Legend
34 Jedi Master K'Kruhk
29 Ganner Rhysode

Deadline: 24 hours (9:40pm EST, 27 Feb 2018). Votes must be posted by the deadline. If you plan to play a game, games can be played up to 48 hours after the deadline but intent to play must be announced by the deadline.

If there are 12 hours with no votes or discussion, the match-up may be ended early.

ehh... will win 100% of the time for reasons.

Fringe beats seps when we played but Nate (Jerjerrod4) also rolled 3 1's on combine shots 2 of those times. 200+ to 186.

Laura and I actually played 2 games of the Talon vs Aves because it was pretty fun

The squads split the games, with map, and some rolls basically deciding it.

G1
Game on Asteroid Base. Seps win like 200+ to 140 or so as they get to gambit rd 1, and don't let up. Won a couple of key inits, but basically just kept throwing blockers in the way so that the Fringe had to waste time clearing blockers before going after the good stuff. Fringe did keep it pretty close with I think just 1 spotter making it to the end and no snipers.

G2
On Jabba's Palace. Fringe win 200+ to 160 some. Fringe get a better setup and start, and the seps win the key init to take out Embo before he can get a second guy. The wookiee and Aves take care of 2 snipers, and it is back and forth. Seps try and use the same tactics using the scrubs as blockers, but they can't quite control as much and Mira and Morrigan both survive to the end with 40 left (everyone else on the fringe dead), while the seps have just a sniper and scrubs left.

So after playing the matchup twice, it really just comes down to map, rolls (Attack, evade, energy shield) and placement, although the seps might have the advantage that their squad is more forgiving and requires less perfect play as a mistake for the fringe can easily lead to a dead talon or mira.

You just had to play that second game causing my squad to lose overall, didn't you?

On a more serious note, does the second game actually count? You did say before the deadline you were going to play a game, not two. Can the Seps snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, or is the game legit? I'm not too fussed either way, just curious about the strictness of the rules.

FINAL RESULTS FOR Game #7

12 hours with no votes or discussion, so this match-up is ending early.

Gonna have to get a game in here because to me this one is roll reliant at first glance.

I give the edge to mandos here, although I love the OR squad and think it will be close. OR relies too much on Cunning for damage. Which they won't usually get in this match up. But I do think it's likely to be a wild game.

I think Mandos have the slight edge, but rolls (especially init) is a huge roll, as both squads want to go first with cunning and such. With advantageous, the wookiees are kinda sitting ducks.


So Vote Mandos
