lol


creme - know that I just wanted to see if your luck was as bad as mine.

I'd still rather have you pull than creme given what I've gotten as of late; I'd take a Guri, B'omarr, and, heck, maybe even Wedge over an Evazan and two Anakins (CS and RotS).

I know. It was supposed to be a joke. Well, more like sarcasm, but whatever.

Again, the 15-point gambit is what killed me. At the end of the match, I had a nearly-full HP Mace and a nearly-full HP X-1. He had a 40HP Vader.

SYM vs Plokoon9619
Map: Cloud City
85-163 Gambit

Winner Me ^_^

Vader walked over everyone, Reek didn't really stop him from swiping at 4 guys at the end of the game.

We both Pick Universe

Final score was actually 94-170 (not that it changes anything, but it'd be nice to have the official score on record).

Yeah, I pretty much lost this one with the map roll (he picked Cloud City). My attack rolls were absolute garbage again this week; less than half of the very few attack rolls I was able to make actually hit. We basically played ring-around-the-rosy for the first several rounds because R2 kept locking me in the central structure (I started on the left) until his army was in place. Plo won this largely because of gambit; he had one figure sit on the one square of gambit open to the right side, which happened to basically be an alcove, so I couldn't get at it because it was hiding behind Vader. If Gambit hadn't been worth 15pts. but rather the normal 5pts., plo had only 6 figures that could've gotten Gambit points (the majority of his army was 4pt. Battle Droids). Of those 6 figures, one was a commander that stayed hidden in the back the whole game, one was Vader who was on offense most of the time, and one was R2, which stayed on the opposite end of the map for most of the game. That leaves 3 pieces that could've captured Gambit, and I killed one of them. Now that's 2. Two pieces that could get gambit compared to practically my entire squad (7 of 8 figures).

I'm fully convinced that I could have won if gambit hadn't been worth so much, as the game would have lasted longer and I would have played less aggressively, and probably would've been able to take out Vader; I knocked him down to 80HP by the end, and I essentially had a 160HP Reek with a two 20-30DMG shooters and a stun figure to back him up. I'm also convinced that I could've won if it had been a different map (one without doors). Basically, I can sum up my post very briefly; 15-pt. Gambit is nuts, Override is b.s., and Cloud City sucks.

It was a well played game, though, on both sides. One stupid mistake by me early on completely sealed my fate, and I applaud plo for seeing it and capitalizing on it. Otherwise, it was pretty one-sided.

I know. What's your point? The scenario I outlined was if Gambit was the regular 5 points. When I was talking about my entire squad being able to score, I meant for normal Gambit, not the 15pt. version. If we had played 5pt. Gambit, I wouldn't have had to worry about Gambit so much, your Battle Droids wouldn't have been able to score, San and R2 wouldn't have gone near battle, and Vader would be better off playing offense instead of trying to get Gambit, so you effectively would've had only 3 pieces that could score Gambit as opposed to my 7.

Since Gambit was worth 15pts. in our game, you only had Vader and the Overseer that could score Gambit. I thought that the best chance I had at winning was to try to kill Vader first. In retrospect, I should've killed your Overseer when I had two chances to do so because then Vader would've been the only figure you had that could've scored Gambit, but to do so he would've basically backed himself into a corner. Oh well. Live and learn, I guess. I had the squad that could've easily won, but I played wrong and you did very well capitalizing on my mistakes (especially taking out that Imp Officer early; he could've been a game changer). If we had played on the Rancor Pit instead of Cloud City, though, I think Vader wouldn't've had a chance.

BTW, you still didn't fix the final score.

*IMPORTANT UPDATE PLEASE READ!*

Week 6 will last 2 weeks instead of the normal single week (Week 7 will be postponed for one week) due to GenCon happening this week. So please take advantage of this and catch up on all your games that you've missed (or play your Week 7 games if you've already played your week 6 one).

Your post is way early; week 7 was initially scheduled to start today, but it was postponed until next week because of GenCon. Creme never changed the dates on the schedule on the first page of this thread, but you can't post this game until next Sunday (8/14).

Are you trying to imply something? :)
