Congrats to James (jediinexile--you may know him better for his amazing customs but he's a strong player too) who won it with this pretty brilliant squad:

--CA Regional 2010 Winner--
51 Yoda on Kybuck
35 Anakin Skywalker on STAP
33 Captain Rex
24 Qui-Gon Jinn, Jedi Trainer
23 Captain Panaka
9 R2-D2, Astromech Droid
8 Mas Amedda
5 Caamasi Noble
3 Rodian Brute
9 Ugnaught Demolitionist x3

(200pts. 12 activations)

It smoked me badly, my only loss with this squad:

--CA Regional 3rd Place Squad--
51 Yoda on Kybuck
47 General Skywalker
28 Dash Rendar, Renegade Smuggler
24 Commander Ahsoka
23 Captain Panaka
9 R2-D2, Astromech Droid
8 Mas Amedda
4 Gran Raider
3 Rodian Brute
3 Ugnaught Demolitionist

(200pts. 10 activations)

Jeff finished second, also only losing to James, running Jason Keirnan's Sid/GGDAC, double Lancer squad.

Ryan's 4th place squad was above.

Mel was 5th playing Deri's Mara/Han/Ganner/AniSolo squad.

Overall, the tourney was great fun, and the store was a nice environment. It was cool to get to play James again after narrowly beating him at last year's regional, fun to meet and play Greg (Hye Jedi who set everything up this year) and a pleasure to finally get to play Mel (and we finished our game in the hour! Laugh ) after 4 years of competing in the same major tourneys and never getting matched up.

Some regionals winners I just have to scratch my head at. Confused

I've never been able to get AniStap to do anything for me, and someone wins a regional with him and Kling-gon Jinn just for Ani, with only 12 activations? Amazing.

Well, this year's GenCon is going to be very interesting, and much more varied than last year! I'm glad the game ended on a note with so much variety and potential in both friendly and competitive play. ThumpUp

Awesome. Thanks for the reports.
It looks like GenCon is going to be a lot of fun and very interesting this year. I'm definitely hoping that the big games are on video!

Republic has never needed activations. (Heck, I only had 10! Between us we beat a variety of high-act squads.) Republic has power and crowd control. That act advantage doesn't tend to last against kybuck alone, not to mention throwing in Ani. My problem with it was I thought high defenses and Panaka's BG in a pinch would protect me enough from the initial strafe. It didn't. And i was hurt a bit more by losing the init which meant another strafe for good measure and it was pretty much over. In hindsight I should have spread out and just let him choose who to trade Ani for or snipe with Rex instead. I was going to be behind either way, but maybe I would have had a chance in that case.

Yeah, Jonny's right. I thought I answered that already but it must have been on gamers.

Jason - thanks for posting the recap of the event and thanks to everyone that came out from near and far! It was a really fun time and good to meet folks that I've only interacted with over the forums.

Bye for now!

Greg
