the squad seemed to do good for me last week, wasn't that much of a rigourous test though, 2 of the better players were not there, JML ^, and another guy that brings his kids to play. It was a small 4 person Tournament, me, a guy named Tim, a kid named Kyle, and a old person named Rodney. All of them were playing squads with Force Push 4... sigh....
Round one it's me Vs Rodney: now leme get this straight, Rodney is a good guy, who likes to play the game, and likes starwars, however, he is sort of "special", i dont mean any offense to him, nor to people like him, because that would be rather, extremly rude. He usualy has his people move through walls, amazingly leap across the map to attack my guys from behind, that sort of thing. We all go along with it to give him a good time. So he was playing a squad that Kyle built for him: Luke unleashed, 2 of those Talosion Tank droids, or whatever they are called, Han on TaunTaun, and Chewie RH, mabye a filler or 2 dont remember. So we start of with me testing out how much damage Han and boba can seriously do if they win init. 1st droid died fast. Then I leave han out in the open for Rodney to push/shoot, and advised Rodney about it. So Rodney uses FP4 and hurts Han. The rest of the game goes the same way, me giving Rodney tips, and helping him out, untill i only had Garm and Boba left, then decided to finish up so i didn't accidently lose incase of time.
I win 1st round, and so does Tim.
Me vs Tim: Tim is new at playing SWM, and was also using JML's figs to make a team. Boy was it annoying leme see if I can remember what it was: The speed 1 turrent thing, dont remember it's name, Luke unleashed, Leia, Hoth commander, The Hoth turrent thing, dont remember it's name either... C-3PO/R2-D2, Rebel Captin, Elite Hoth Trooper, and Hoth Trooper commander, Han on TaunTaun, and I dont remember the rest. So we play on the starship map, and I won side roll, I picked control room side, started outside the room however. I picked option 1 for Garm's reinforcments sence I dont have a TaunTaun in real life (g2 love vassel for letting you use figs' you dont have) anyway... He starts the turrent right where i can see it. Now here is why i thought that team was annoying. I murder the turrent right off with Han, Boba, and Leia/Her CE on Han, HOWEVER he makes the bloody Leia save and the turrent comes right back up at full health, boy what a way to start the game, wasting the powerhouses of my teams attacks on that.....
anyway, i through all of my Reinforcments in front of my main guys to make sure Luke has to target them and not Han who can only take 2 force push 4hits, I spaced the guys out as well so the turrent cant kill all of them that fast. Round one pretty much goes his way sence my main guys are already activated. Also, he put's han right behind the turrent where my Han and Boba can see it.... not the best of choices... I win init and murder his Han. He then starts picking off my guys with the turrent, Luke, and his other guys, while his speed 1 guy slowly starts coming forward. Also, he leaves Luke where Han and Boba could see him.... but I do belive his reasoning was, Luke had Deflect, and if he won init, it wouldnt matter. He won init, hit more fodder with luke, and ran Luke outa there. Then he used his Rebel captin to take out even more of my guys. I think i had 2 Mon cals, and a rebel trooper left for reinforcments at this point. However, he didn't activate his Hoth Turrent, so Han and Boba didn't pass up the opportunity. His next activations kill most of my fodder off. I used leia, and her CE on Han to finish the Turrent off, no succesful Leia save this time. Dont want to go over every single move that happened, it ends with a win for me.
Kyle wins, and I win.
Round 3:I end up playing Kyle who was running an interesting squad: Luke Unleashed, VAR, K-3PO, Obi-wan Kenobi (RS), the Heal 30 guy, I something, 3 Rebel Vanguards, and some other peices i think, dont remember what. Played on the starship map again, not on the command center side though.It ended up with me wining, most of his guys dead, and his VAR with A-LOT of force points, which made me glad that I had plenty of fodder in the way. Went to time.
Overall it did good, i didn't get to run it against any of the major squads, B&B, ect. But hey, got a pack, VR was however Darth Malak, so I took the JWM that was in the pack instead and pass the rest along.
Just some results on how the squad went.
