Hey all. So this past friday we had the LOTF event. We had 8 people show up for it, and it was great. I pulled:
Nogri Commando Gotal Mercenary Trandoshan Merc Trandoshan Merc Galactic Allience Trooper Rodian Blaster-For-Hire Galactic Alliance scout human bodygaurd ---------------------------- what is below the line I pulled and used: Darth Tyranus, LTDS 49 pts. Canderous Ordo 48 pts. Vong Jedi Hunter 20 pts. Shadow Stromtrooper 13 pts. Vong Warrior 8 pts. Twi'lek Scout 7 pts.
145 total
Round 1: Me V. Mr. D I played agaist one of the best players at my LGS. For tournaments at my LGS, we always use the ROTS hardboard map. We rolled, and I got the better side of the map. He used Little miss inept fel, tyranus, LTDS, a gotal merc, twi-lek scout, a mando trooper, a human bodgaurd, a vong elite warrior, and a vong jedi hunter. I set up my shooters in the Maintenance Station to snipe his tyranus near the corridor, his vong jedi hunter in the escape pod, and his other shooters near the command center. I won initative and put 60 on tyranus, and continued to snipe out. Meanwhile, my vong took point at the gambit area, with tyranus a few squares behind to protect him from the other tyranus' lighting. I continued to be in gambit while my opponent advanced with his vong, miss fel, and tyranus. My jedi hunter engaged fel, while my warrior sat in gambit. His tyranus moved into the turbolift and threatening my shooters, forcing me to engage his tyranus with my own.
In conclusion, I was in the lead, and after my and his tyranus died, I moved to the command center to take out his shooters which I did and take up position to kill his fel and win.
A close game, and my opponent gave up with the score at 107 to 119, because I still had my shooters and a very healthy canderous, while he had a gotal merc and a damaged fel.
Round 2: Me V. Whitey. This was an easier game than the first one, even though this guy was also a good player and had better pulls. His squad was: A human scoundrel, a Corellian Security Officer, Luke LOTF, a twi'lek scout, darth nihl, a kel-dor BH, and I can't rember what else. We rolled, and I was forced to deploy in the airlock. I moved my guys to the escape pods, while my opponent was near the Maintenance Station and behind the wall in the power regulation chamber near gambit. I moved my vong jedi hunter and my tyranus into gambit below the turbolift. his luke was shooting around in cover, so i had to advance to take him out. His nihl was at the bottom of the power regualtion chamber on the left side, waiting for me to make my move. I went after luke, and used lightning, while my vong jedi hunter lured out his nihl and canderous opened fire. Nihl moved to kill canderous, and would have, if he had won initative. I triple attacked him, and killed him. My vong jedi hunter went after his secutiry officer, and i had the game in the bag by then. my canderous died, but so what.
The end score was 140 to 74. A crushing defeat for my opponent, and a great victory for me. If I had lost that one initative and canderous died instead of nihl, the game outcome would have been different, but I still could have won.
Final round: Me V. Brandon. As usual, we ran out of time before the final round. I will finish writing this next week when I play the final game. I think I have a good chance to beat this guy. He has the new mara, luke LOTF, and 2 bothan nobles, a kel dor BH, and a duros scoundrel. It will be difficult, but if I can remove the nobles or mara quickly, it won't be so hard.
A more detailed comparison: My opponent's squad: 6 activations ( same as mine ) 300 HP ( 80 less than mine, but he has healers, delflect, and stealth ) Average defense: 16.3 Average Attack 8.33 Damage Output in 1 round at best: 190 damage
My Squad: 6 activations ( same as my opponent's) 380 HP ( 80 more than my opponents, and I have lightsaber block, crab armor, stealth, and regenration ) Average defense 16.5 ( a little better than my opponents ) Average attack 8.33 exactly the same Damage output at best: 260 ( 70 better than my opponent )
The numbers are close, and it will be a challenge. I think I can pull it off.
General Notes: I didn't have the best pulls, but I built up some synergy with the shooters, with rangefinder, careful shot, and triple attack. I also got some decent melee support. I didn't really think about it, but my two opponents commented on how much HP my squad has. I had a lot of fun, and if I win next week, I got 20$ in store credit. I will probably get a case with a discount, which is always good. I'm already gaurenteed 10$ just for making it to the finals, which is nice.
I'll post how I do in the finals, and you may post whatever you'd like.
