This is crossposted from the Drafting League results thread, since that thread is probably only read by the 8 people in the league. I just thought since I bothered to write the whole thing up, I'd post it here as well. It was one of the more exciting games I've been in, especially since I thought I'd lost the game at one point. Probably less exciting for Weeks, as he missed 7 of 8 saves. Final score: FlyingArrow 189 - Weeks 139.

--- I may have misremembered some of these details. ---

Played on Ravaged Base (Weeks' map), FlyingArrow chose right side. First round GOWK charged to gambit with Knight Speed. Weeks' squad was moving in through the main corridor.

Round 2, FlyingArrow's R7 locked the door to the Command Center while Weeks set up outside.

Round 3, FlyingArrow unlocked the door to get off the first shot in the ensuing combat, with the Antarian hitting Luke, but Ferus taking the damage. Han hit Barriss for 60, and then she healed herself. Mara charged in, but needed a force point to get there so couldn't use Lightsaber Assault on Luminara. Mara missed one of the Twin attacks but put 30 damage on Luminara, and then took 40 herself in return from Luminara's Double Attack. Luke also charged in and Used the Force to put 60 more damage on Luminara, and then she died from the Flurry. Shots from the Sentinel and Dass put 30 more damage on Mara, but I think Ferus took part of that damage. The round ended with a big Force Push 3 from GOWK, moving Ferus, Luke, and Mara back into the main corridor out of the Command Center, and shutting the door.

Round 4, FlyingArrow wins init and gives it to Weeks. Weeks moved the ugnaught in to run interference for Luke and open the door. Luke was protected, but Dass had clear LOS to Mara, and used Dispassionate Killer to kill Mara. Second attack was on Han, but he evaded it. (The only save Weeks made all game.) Full-HP Dass failed the DK save and died, but at least he took out Mara before she could do a Lightsaber Assault. I don't quite remember what happened next, but at the end of the round, GOWK had abandoned gambit to move to the northwest corner of the Command Center (near the Sentinel), and Ferus has used Dark Temptation to kill Barriss and then failed the save. Barriss was dead, but not before she rolled a crit that was cancelled by Luke's Alter. (The reroll hit but not a crit, and I don't remember who she was swinging at.) The Sentinel and the Antarian kept chipping away at people - I think the Antarian killed the ugnaught that round and the Sentinel hit Han.

At the end of the round Ferus, Han, and the Chagrian were congregated by the door between the Command Center and the main hallway. A crucial init was coming up - if FlyingArrow would have won it, he could have killed both Han and the Chagrian by either using GOWK (Force Push 3 to kill Han and the Chagrian as well as Ferus) or using Ferus (with another Dark Temptation).

Weeks won the init thanks to R2's Recon, used Han to kill Ferus (combining fire with the Chagrian just to be sure) and then moved Han away. GOWK used Knight Speed to move down and base Han, Luke, and the Chagrian. (Chagrian missed the aoo on the way there.) GOWK dealt 20 damage to Luke, who then dealt 40 in return. Luke didn't have enough force points at that time to Use the Force. The Sentinel and Antarian killed the Chagrian, leading to another crucial init.

Despite the Recon, FlyingArrow got lucky and won init. Han and R2 had 30 HP each, and Luke had 40. After GOWK's second Force Push 3 of the game, Luke was the only piece Weeks had left and he was down to 10 HP. Of course, after Luke came back and attacked GOWK, GOWK was down to 10 HP as well. But the Antarian was able to end it with a final hit on Luke, and then Luke's Deflect failed.

Nice report, seems the game could have really gone the other way.

Definitely. I missed 2 rolls that I thought were pretty big - the init when I could have used Ferus to kill Han and the Dispassionate Killer fail that lost a full-HP Dass. But I also won a huge one at the end to basically end the game with the last FP3. Weeks' misses were for the most part 'smaller', but they added up. Mainly the evades/deflects/blocks that he missed. Each one was only 10-20 HP, but when you miss nearly all of them it adds up to a huge difference. His failed save for Ferus on Dark Temptation was actually not that bad for him - he basically immediately killed Ferus and got a quick 32 points out of the transaction. If I won init, though, it could have been really bad for him.
