14 entrants, and I only saw 4 squads.
My Squad: Darth Vader Unleashed Thrawn Storm Commando Mas Wicket 3x Gran Raider
Map: Starship (hardboard)
Round 1 Vs Rodney
Luke HPU Apprentice Redeemed Dodonna 2x ERC Mon Cal Medic Jariah Syn.
I won map and side taking the pit area side and spacing out my troops with Vader in the different colored squares at the top with Mas. He set up mostly in the opposite corner, but the ERC's started with dodonna in the room. He even started one of them next to the door at the borderline between his troops. So my first Activation was of course Vader for force sense, and then the SC to kill it. Later I set up a Lightsaber Throw 5 on Dodonna and the other SC for 2 kills, and basically I just huddled under thrawn's Bubble to avoid getting pushed. Final Score 193-8
1-0
Round 2 Vs Chuck
Thrawn Mas Rodian Scoundrel Ugo x2 BBSV x2 Imperial knight x2
I got some early shots killing an ugo and hitting Thrawn for 30. Later I came up with a SWap LS Throw 5 to hit 5 pieces, defeating 3 of them (ugo, mas, Rodian) leaving a BBSV with 20 hp and Thrawn with 10, but vader was now in the thick of things, and Thrawn was based by an imperial Knight. Well Due to some rolls that didnt go my way my thrawn died in the following round, but Vader killed the BBSV, and Based his thrawn. Early the following round Vader killed his thrawn. It came down to him defeating Vader, leaving me with Mas, 2x Grans and my SC, Nyna and Wicket, against a BBSV and an Imperial Knight. It was at that point that I scored my ninth Gambit winning me the game.
final Score: 153-96 2-0
Round 3 vs Joel Luke on Tauntaun Rebel Trooper on Taun Taun Yoda of Dagobah Leia of Cloud City Dodonna Obi-Wan FS Bothan Noble Chagrian Commander. Jariah Syn
I won map and side (AGAIN) and my set up was as described in round 1. I just huddled under thrawn's bubble and kept thrawn out of sight the whole game. I killed Jariah in Round 1, and basically saced my SC later to kill the Raun Taun and the Bothan Noble. Leia Crit on Vader 3 times late in the game, but by that time she was the only piece he had left and I had force Choked her already with Vader for 40 damage. So Wicket and thrawn made quick work of her
Final Score (About 175 because I forgot that I had already won on Gambit) to 76
3-0
Tournament ended and I was the only undefeated player. First prize was a Deliah Blue which I gave to a 6 year old who plays with us who had his Darth Caedus disintegrated on Turn 1 of his first game that night. Really the kid was having a horrible night.
