I ran a 100-point tournament at my FLGS last night, mostly just to keep up my T.O. status. The winner was a shock.
We had five players and three rounds, which totally threw the DCI Reporter program for a loop.
+++++
Teams were:
10-year-old = Shaak Ti - JM, Golan Arms Battery, Rebel Troopers, & 2-1B
Teen #1 = Snowspeeder, Luke’s Snowspeeder, Wedge - Red Two, & Uggie
Teen #2 = Master Kota & Obi-Wan - JM
Adult = Blizzard Scout & AT-ST
Mr. Xffan = Aurra - JM, Fett - Enforcer, Lando - DS & Uggie
+++++
First Round:
Bye = Teen #2
Table 1 = 10-year-old faced the Adult. Amazingly, the 10-year-old had the foresight to map-screw the AT-ST player by playing the Mos Eisley map. (The Adult has been playing AT-STs the last four sessions.) The Battery was set up in Gambit, but that was the only thing the AT-STs could target, so it was blown away quickly. The 10-year-old then turtled, gaining Gambit points for 10 rounds while hiding inside the building. Winner: 10-year-old.
Table 2 = Teen #1 faced Mr. Xffan on the Grand Plaza map. The mobility and damage reduction of the two Snowspeeders overcame Aurra and Fett easily. Gambit drives Mr. Xffan crazy, as he tends to give it more attention than he should, putting his figs in harm’s way to gain Gambit instead of making direct attacks and/or hiding. And he much prefers Fett - BH over Fett - Enf., so he didn’t play the squad very effectively. Winner: Teen #1
Second Round:
Bye = Adult
Table 1 = Teen #1 vs. 10-year-old, again on the Mos Eisley map. These two are brothers. Teen #1 claimed to have “gone easy on him.” It wasn’t a good idea, because the 10-year-old managed to get a couple criticals with the Battery and somehow hack away on the Snowspeeders with Shaak. Winner: 10-year-old.
Table 2 = Mr. Xffan vs. Teen #2, again on the Grand Plaza map. Mr. X out-activated Teen #2, used Jedi Hunter and stayed away from the melee figs by shooting from across the board. Teen #2 didn’t last very long. Winner: Mr. Xffan.
Third Round:
Bye = Mr. Xffan
Table 1 = 10-year-old vs. Teen #2. Once again, the 10-year-old won map choice and got Mos Eisley again. Teen #2 stored up Kota’s Force and Repulsed, but Shaak and the Battery put on too much damage. Winner: 10-year-old.
Table 2 = Teen #1 vs. Adult. Grand Plaza map again. Teen #1 thought he had also map-screwed the Adult and he hid his speeders in a room. The Adult did have one AT-ST stuck in a corner, but the Blizzard Scout could reach a door and keep it open. He got several lucky criticals, taking out the Snowspeeders. Winner: Adult.
Results:
1st = 10-year-old 2nd = Adult 3rd = Mr. Xffan 4th = Teen #1 5th = Teen #2
Like I said, the DCI Reporter was pretty flaky with its results because of the odd number of players and odd number of rounds. But, everybody had a good time. I bought a booster to split among all winners. 10-year-old got Fett - Merc from it.
