Nice report, Chris! Yeah, doing a single-elimination event was weird, and because of the odd number of players for the 2nd round, I just rolled a bunch of dice, and then used it pair everyone up. It was totally random, but worked out OK.
My squad, which I thought would be decent to start with was:
Cade
YV JH
Mando Gunslinger
Gotal Merc
Shadow Stormtrooper
GA Scout
Human BG
I thought, going in, that I'd have a decent chance at doing well, but right off the bat, Roland (who is who Chris played for his 2nd game, not Kevin/Kyle/etc.
) got me pretty good. I wasted his Tyranus pretty easily early on the game, but not before he did get a Lightning 4 off on Cade (which, Chris, I don't know if you screwed this up or not against Cole, but Lightning 4 only his 1 target...sounded from your report like it did damage to both Luke and Boba, unless he cast it twice?). Luckily, Cade was already activated at that point. My Mando gunslinger didn't do too much, but the Vong JH did a great job of playing clean up around the board. The real kicked though, was the stupid KDBH, as Roland did a great job of basing at least Cade, if not mulitple targets at a time, forcing me to take the 10 damage in order to get any shots off. This also meant that Cade was only getting 2 attacks per round instead of 4, and that really killed me. Game ended quite hilariously though, with my YVJH with 20 hp, and Roland's YVJH with 20 hp, and his Elite ReBel Commando. So it was simply a matter of who failed their Crab Armor 6 saves first, and unfortunately, it was me. Was a fun game though!
