Great turn out for the tournament guys! Playing 4 rounds was fun.
First round I faced empirejeff with the mighty Bane on his map, Throne Room. I advanced from the left and took gambit first, forcing him to engage me. Rex took out Ugos early on to give me that advantage. My Ugos did well too, taking 1 or 2 of jeff's down before they went down. I made 1 key block against Bane, and put enough damage on him that by the time my two JWMs finally were dead, Rex hadn't been touched yet, and Bane only had 20 HP left. A little R2 Tow Cable maneuvering, and easy game. Lobo 1-0
2nd round I faced Gurneywars, and this was a tough game. We played on his Coruscant map. I went ahead and took the gambit in the first round to pick off his only Ugo, but I lost the next init and Rex ate 50 damage (crit) from Mara across the board. From there it was a game of cat-and-mouse, but Rex tried his best to be the end of Jaina. Well, Rex did manage to land two crits on her, but she made BOTH deflect saves. It finally took a crit from a JWM to finish her off. At that point, I took a risky move and Tow Cabled Rex in close enough to take shots at Han, and only hit 2 out of 4. Luckily, I won the next init, and hit another 2 out of 4 shots, leaving Gurneywars with only Mara left. I lost Rex that round, but at that point it didn't matter. We were deep in his territory, and I'd had a JWM and an Ugo sitting in gambit that whole time. I retreated, and played more cat-and-mouse, forcing Mara to chase me around the gambit zone, and played enough rounds, keeping her at least 9-10 squares away, to earn enough gambit for the win. I probably could've just based her and got it over quick, but I didn't want to risk losing an init that way. Lobo 2-0
3rd round I played against Rimeeri on his Death Star map. First two rounds I got pretty lucky. He moved his Ugos early in the round, so I took a chance and locked the center door (he started on the right) with R2 and put my Rex in gambit. Then I won the next init, and made him go first, then moved Rex and R2 to safety on my turn. Round 3, me moved a GenoHaradan to gambit, and then I towed a JWM to base the GHA. I promptly rolled a crit, then another hit to kill the GHA. Then when one of his Mandos took his shots at my JWM, he only hit 2 out of 4, and I made my deflect. From there, I went into defensive mode. About round 5 or 6, he moved more agressively toward gambit, but I continued to make block/deflect saves, and he was missing attacks. Just before I was about to pounce on his Czerka, taking away half his fire power, Rimeeri decided he'd had enough for the night and conceeded. I still think it was a close game at that point, but hey, sometimes you just don't feel like going on, and there is nothing wrong with that. Lobo 3-0
Final game was the mirror match, against Jonnyb. Finally got to play on my map, Taris, lol. First round I pick off an Ugo, which gives me a slight advantage. 2nd Round, Jonny decides to be brave and go for the gusto, but he misses one of his 1st attacks on R2, and has to burn the Double to finish the Droid, meaning he couldn't hit either Rex or one of my JWMs that round. So, his Rex died quite quickly (no thanks to my Rex who rolled a 2 and a 3 trying to kill him
). At that point, it kind of became a game of who could roll over 11 the most, lol. Rex needed 11's to hit his JWMs in cover. The JWMs needed 11's to hit each other. I finally eliminated everything but 1 JWM, and at that point I had Rex, a JWM, and the 2 Ugos left. We traded back and forth missing attacks or making block/deflect saves, and I finally squeezed out enough rounds to pick up enough gambit for the win. At the end though, I had 1 JWM with 10 HP, and 2 Ugos, and Jonny had his 1 JWM with 10 HP, lol. So it ended up being a REALLY close game. Just for kicks, we played another quick round, and I won the init, and then my JWM rolled a 12 for the kill, so either way I would've won the game. Was hilarious and fun game though! Lobo 4-0!
It's been almost 6 months since I got to play in one of these Vassal tournies, so I was glad I got the chance to do one again. Hopefully it wont be so long before I get to do another one! Always great playing with all of you guys.
