I decided for this event I would just run something slightly goofy and completely old-school. I ended up fielding Darth Vader, JH and Bossk, BH.
Game 1 on Muunilist vs. Anakin, Champion of Nelvaan and Yoda on Kybuck.
I won map roll and this was the map I picked. I started in the control room.
Anakin threw some grips at Vader, and Vader threw some back as Yoda galloped toward Bossk. On round 3, I moved Vader between Yoda and Bossk, and got an AoO in. Yoda killed Bossk but then promptly died.
Vader was at 100 HP when he went up against Anakin. I really had no expectation of winning the game, I was just having fun with it. Anakin made almost every Djem So save, but missed all but 1 of his attacks. He rolled a 20 on that one, and I rolled a 20 on the block lol. The final round Vader was at 50 I think, and Anakin was at 80. I rolled and hit, he failed Djem So, I rolled and hit he made Djem So, but missed both attacks. I rolled a hit on the third attack, and he made Djem So. He would have needed 2 crits to win, and of course he didn't get them.
1-0
Game 2 vs. Darth Vader, Unleashed and Boba Fett (RS) on Muunilist I won map roll again and set up in the control room for a second time. Most of the game was Vader vs. Vader, and after his was dead Boba killed Bossk before going toe-to-toe with the Dark Lord of the Sith, where he promptly died.
2-0
Game 3 vs. Warmaster Lah and IG-88 After seeing this combo in action, I have decided that IG-88 is a better 37 pt. piece for this format than Aurra Sing. He is more fragile, but he has Double Attack and shoots at +15 against Uniques for a total of 40 damage (as opposed to one shot for 30 damage vs. Force users).
I won map roll a third time, and again started from the control room. Vader couldn't block, so I decided to base both of his pieces with Vader as fast as possible so I at least got Dark Armor saves. I made most of them, and Bossk was a great support piece. He used Double Claw attack against Lah as the Warmaster attempted to whittle Vader down to zero. After IG-88 died, I turned my attention to Lah, and begin trimming off the HP. The game ended with the death of Bossk and Vader at something like 40 HP.
3-0
I really expected to lose 2 of those games, but either way it was a blast.
