Hi everybody, I don't know if anybody is interested in, but at our place (Prague, Czech Republic, Central Europe) we have weekly small tournaments and monthly "big" tournaments, with about 10-16 people. These big tournaments are quit competitive in my opinion, so maybe you will like this short report and maybe it will inspire someone. And excuse my english pls

25/05/08 we had a 150 tourney, 11 people took part in, which is not much. I expected more. Anyway, I took this squad :
"Republic's Mercenary"
Boba Fett, Mercenary (58)
2x Jedi Weapon Master (52)
R2-D2, Astromech Droid (9)
Gran Raider (4)
Lobot (27)
Map : Imperial Base
I think this squad is quite good, with good rolls, some skill and luck it can handle anything. Lobot's reinforcements were all the time Human Bodyguard and 3 uggies, other variations were Lando DS or 4 uggies and Wicket.
The problem with post legacy meta is (like Fool mentioned) that if you want to be competitive, you have to play General Dodonna, or have a good squad, that can easily beat him. During the tourney, which had 4 rounds, i played against !4! Dodonnas and 3 Han Solo, Galactic Hero! I don't think, that this is good for this game..
There were like 6 NR squads (3 variations), 1 Yuzhaan Vong jedi hunters, 2 Luke's Snowspeeder squads, mine Republic and one Mandalorian squad with new Boba.
Round one I faced New Republic (wow..) with Dodonna, Han GH, Mara Jade Jedi and Lando DS. With some inaccuracy on oponenst side I won. Second round i struggle again vs New Republic with Han GH, Mara Jade Jedi, Dodonna and Talon Karrde. I won again. Third round i went against our best player, who had Luke's snowspeeder, Dodonna, Bothan Noble, Princess Leia (A&E) and Deliah Blue. With some unlucky rolls (..) I lost. Last round i played against New republic with Dodonna, Han GH and Boba Fett BH and won.
So I ended third with 3-1, which is nice. Whole tourney won Mandalorians, which I really didn't expected. But it is nice,that in a field full of New Republic and Dodonnas won something like this minor faction
