Quick writeup
Spry, Ryn, and I left around 9am Saturday and got back around 3am Sunday. The whole time playing minis, so I'm taking a few days off from playing lol.
Round 1 vs Jeremy's Nightsisters
As he told me when we sat down it was only his 6th game he has ever played so he was still trying to figure out what was going on and whatnot. Rancors cost a whole lot more then 9 so the Pilots crushed him squad pretty fast. Final round I stuck a bunch of dudes beside each other so he could use his lightning at least once. I'm just that kind of guy. 15 minutes, 4 rounds, 3 points.
Round 2 vs Graham's Lancer
I won map (Spynet) and he took the right side. I stuck all my CE's in the cells at the bottom left and blew the doors so they would work. First round he strafes all my pilots + Klatoonian Cap/R2/Queen. He rolls a 20 on the last pilot and loses the lancer. So with all my pilots at 10 hp he was going to start sending in bombs to kill them. Not on my watch! I set up a barrier of Queen and my clones to ensure I didn't lose any pilots to his vast amounts of RickyTech.
Next round I tow a pilot and run 8 to twin without any bonuses on his lobot needing 4's, hit both of them and shut down his only door control. R2 Locked him down for a bit so I could knock out his MTB fodder and ensure Graham say some funny stuff (He says wacky things when he's mad lol). From there we whittled each others dudes down till my Panaka/Yularen/Padme took out Sideous. 45 minutes, 8 rounds, 3 points.
Round 3 vs Spry's Gungans
He won map and stuck me on Muunlist. I outacted him and towed a pilot 12 then ran 16 to base Darmin (read: I killed Darmin). Next round I was able to base 5 gungans with a single pilot and they decided to stab at it and bring it down to 10. He moves his Rex around and takes out 1 pilot and makes me deathshot his shieldbarrer and I fail the saves.
Round 3 of the game I win init and slay the shield. The 1 pilot taking on 5 gungans stays alive as backup finally shows up. I take out all but 2 of his gungans. At the end I had a Pilot run past Rex who decided not to attack it on the AOO so I rolled a crit and a hit to kill Rex. Then it was all my commanders on his side of the map chasing down his Padamomay and Tarpals. 20 minutes, 7 rounds, 3 points.
Round 4 vs Bronson's Lord Vader.
He won Map and sticks me on Throne Room. I stuck my commanders in the detention block on the right and put the noble in the doorway leading to mon mothma just to be even more of a jerk lol. I then charge straight ahead and ensure Jarael can't run past any of my dudes. I sit in gambit completely surrounding R2 with pilots and pick off his fodder then make a beeline for Thrawn. Vader kills 3 before he dies and Thrawn puts up a good fight taking out 2. 6 rounds, 30 minutes, 3 points.
Round 5 vs Christian's Commandos
I won map and decided to smoke some crack apparently and put Mon Mothma where he could easy kill her. Without deathshots I was severely outgunned. I made it close by using Yularen's It's a Trap to take a big shot on Weir for the kill with a pilot. I needed a 13 I got a 12, lame. Later on in the game I have a sweet move setup to where he either has to kill 2 pilots with a commando or lose it. He kills them and Panaka runs 6 to be within 6 of Weir (who is in Cover) a hit means Yularen and Padme kill the other commandos and I win on my 8 rounds of gambit. Of course he needs a 10 and I get a 7 and a 6. Oh well, should have played better so I didn't have to rely on dice. Good play by him to capitalize on my stupidity. Christian was the only player to beat either of the Weeks' in swiss (how is that not a trophy?) so congrats to him. He was able to back up all the smack talking he did, unlike the rest of the Tennessee guys, BURN.
Semi's vs Phillip's troopers
3rd Regional in a row I pull the worst matchup for my squad (Shanagins!). Only chance I had was to roll a 20 on init and have dice on my side. I got the 20 for init and brought in 4 Naboo Troopers, the game was turning in my favor. Then he rolls something like 8 20's and I roll at least that many 1's. He would probably beat me 99 times out of 100 in that matchup but that many 1's can get a guy down.
So I came in fourth, again......Had a great time and with both Ryn and I getting top 4 we got some great store credit to buy some Heroclix and a Dominion Expansion (Intrigue). Glad to see she did so well, but it isn't too far fetched as my awesome teaching abilities were involved
.
Looking forward to Charlotte Regional next. Hopefully I can win one of these days after clownstomping everyone in swiss.
I was able to watch a few games of Ryn's because I finished so fast so here's what I saw.
Round 1 vs Nathan
When I got there she had corrupted 3 of his pilots and Juno with Zannah and had Exar within 6 of all of them. They all died and zannah/Jaq/Traya were all left to clean up.
Round 2 vs Christian
She told me she messed up and gave him zannah too fast. I did see Jaq go down only after taking down 2 commandos. If Zannah had lived a little longeer she could have made it a game. He also hit a 6 and got an extra Commando.
Round 3 vs Steven's Gowk
When I got there Mace was dead and she had 0 fodder and all her attackers (Weeks wall!) she then turned on Suppression, Dark Aura, and had Zannah turn a Gowk Crit back on him. His Evason even stabbed GOWK to death bacause the save was now a 10! Funny stuff.
Round 4 vs Richard
Richard's squad was named #suckitweeks so he got his wish partly. The game ended with one really big phase of Zannah moving 8 and drawing a ton of Aoo's to kill Thon and Jaq Raging and hitting HK twice. Richard is a hell of a guy and ran his dudes into the middle so she could get a 3 pointer. You the man Richard.
Round 5 vs Jeff
I missed this one but she made a big avoid defeat save with Atton then killed mara with him and huntress. Then Zannah ran in and wore everything else down.
4-1 11 points. Not bad for a girl. It should also be noted she picked everyone elses map because she couldn't decide on one. Chicks got skills.
Weeks' Representin.
