The first of our wednesdays events. The Battle of the Beatsticks! Each 150 point squad had to contain 70 points of unique, melee characters with base damage 20 or higher.

And now the report...

Squads:

Darth Krayt w/ aurra sing, t3 etc
Lord Vader w/ Thrawn, caamasi's etc
New Obi General with Anakin, CoV, padme sen, r2 ad etc
Darth Bane w/ holosid, DJM, Lando ds + uggies
Darth Tyranus, LotDS + Bindo w/ aurra jh, t3, human bg + uggies
Darth Malak, dlots + Caedus w/ t3 etc
GG, Dac + Mission Vao w/ 3x IG's and bdo etc

First round

LV+ thrawn had the bye

GG, Dac+Mission vs Malak+Caedus

Very close game. They actually play it out with t3 m4 killing GG, dac only to have me point out that GG, dac won on gambit once it was down to t3.

Krayt vs Bane

Bane got down to 40 and krayt couldn't win any key inits. So Bane destroyed krayt. I think Bane didn't like krayt changing the rule of two : )

Darth Tyranus + Vao vs Obi and Ani

Lightning and Aurra proved to to much for the republic jedi

Second Round

Krayt gets the Bye

GG, Dac + vao vs Bane

GG has some trouble with init roles and Lando making evades. Key init loss and bane destroys GG. GG's player spaces doesn't kill Bane with mission...first activation of the round...bane based with mission and he decided to shoot with an IG...40 hp left on bane. Bane runs away after killing mission and djm cleans up with his 5+ fps left.

Darth Tyranus vs Lord Vader

Very close game. LV's player makes a crucial mistake and doesn't move vader into the bubble after killing aurra, which allows Tyranus to finish him with lightning. Thrawn almost won on gambit...but t3 and tyranus clean things up.

Malak + Caedus vs Anakin + Obi

Malak barely lives with 10 hp and ends up with a strong victory over the republic.

3rd Round

My favorite moment is when the republic player finds out he is playing another squad with T3-m4 and complains about the piece...i just loved someone with r2-ad complaining about t3-m4 : )

GG, Dac gets the bye

Darth Malak and Caedus vs Lord vader

Malak pulls out a win over Vader and his blue companion.

Krayt vs Ani + Obi

Obi and anakin fall quickly to doubles from aurra and lightning.

Darth Tyranus + Bindo vs Bane

The final match to determine the King of the beatsticks. A very close game. Bane gets the first key init. Useing his sith sorcery, aurra gets activated and jolee bindo dies to an assault. He couldn't avoid defeat from Bane either : ) Most of each squad took a huge beating, but Bane failed to kill tyranus due to lightsaber block and tyranus cuts him down. DJM finishes Tyranus and aurra slays the djm. All in all a very close game.

Darth Tyranus, Legacy of the Darkside is crowned King and is probably quite thankful for what the anzati did to aurra making her the perfect weapon for him.

First walked away with a new Jango Fett, BH!

Second recieved a pretty new Luke's Landspeeder! Great prizes!

That sounds like a pretty neat format! It doesn't surprise me though that a piece with Block, Riposte, MOTF2, and Duelist would come out on top. Great report!

Yeah, the goal of the our new wednesday events was to do some fun stuff that everyone could still make squads for. Also was alot of fun to watch as the judge. Although I almost bit my tongue off when mission vao didn't kill Bane. I will probably run it again, every month or two.
