But it is public

Hi Fives defeats Spryguy 125-50 on Command deck (3-0)

I pick side, and pick the right

Rd 1: Who woulda guessed, but the first round of a SWM game was entirely movement and positioning! I finished the round with my guys gathered around the maintenance bay door, and Matt has his guys gathered in the maintenance bay. Tsalok gets gambit I don't

Rd 2: I win init, and I let Matt start. Tsalok activates and moves just slightly closer so he can reach my guys next round. I go then with Todo and open the door, and then IGA shoots into Tsalok for 60 with a crit after crabs. The Consul runs up some, and then Tsavong runs up to the door to oppose me and tank for Tsalok. 0-0-0 runs up and gets a crit on his attack from DWU and succeeds with electrocute, leaving Tsavong with two torture points. BT-1 then puts 40 onto Tsavong with some missiles. Matt sends up both his shapers to be part of the fight and the round ends. 0-12 for Matt

Rd 3: I win init again, and IGB finishes off Tsavong. Tsalok responds by demolishing 0-0-0, which pushes Nagme up to put 20 onto BT1 after sheilds. IGA takes out Nagme, freeing BT1 to go after Tsalok and Nen Yim, and he drops Nen Yim to 10 hp and Tsalok to 40. Consul advances, and Nen Yim misses a shot at Toto. Toto has his bomb go off, killing Nen Yim. gambit for Matt. 72-44 for me

Rd 4: I win init (again) and finish off Tsalok with IGB. From here it was just a game of cat and mouse to catch the Consul and reduce him to dust, as the Vong deserve lol

This was a very favorable matchup for me, but my dice were also insane. If Matt had one any init, he would have at least had a one point loss easily. It was a good game tho, thanks for a good time as always Matt!
