Post subject: | France Championship [rough translation] |
For Bill: Rough translation of Swmini; Author opens with a short chat about the pre-game scenario, getting there and chatting with a friend. First Photo is of the play area. The author remarks that the players are casually lounging, but will soon become very serious. The players on the bottom right are the German delegation. Second photo is of the customs entered in the competition. I believe that the Snowspeeder took first place, and the scout trooper sniper took second (well would have if the maker[also of the SS] hadn't of withdrawn it so as to not take both top 2 spots) He remarks that is a pity that Franck's custom Maleval didn't win as Franck's worked hard and did excellent work. He lists his squad and talks about how its a favourite of his, but instead of ewoks this time, he's using Crix/Rieekan and Wookie Commandos. -Crix Madine -General Dodonna -Han Solo in stormtrooper armor -Ithorian Commander -General Rieekan -5 Wookie Commando -Elite Rebel Commando -R7 astromech -2 UD The following text and photo go together. Players are paired up and seated. Once everyone is seated the judges go over the rules (must be nice to have their own play area eh!) and add a small supplemental. The final Playoff will have 16 players, 8 determined via these swiss rounds and the other 8 determined by players that won local regionals/championships (german/french, etc[denoted as 'cibles']). Also the first player to beat one of these 'cibles' would win a booster! His first match is versus Nicolas, who drove 400 km to play! He says that Nicolas was one of these 'Cibles', so if he beats Nicolas, he gets a booster, but he doesn't think its likely as the last 4 or 5 times they've faced, he's lost! He loses map, and they play on hardboard. I think he sets up on the right, and using double override and dodonna, moves his wooks into that lower room, open and closing the door to protect them, from there he is able to take out his opponents Lobot and a whipid tracker {reinforcments}. Amazingly when time is called he wins the game, and booster, hurray! Team de Nicolas : -Boba Fett, Mercenary Commander -Mandalorian Scout *2 -Caamasi -Czerka Scientist -Lobot -3 Mouse Droid 2nd match is vs Gerolstein Franck, who was the germany champion! they have a small language barrier (lol) but proceed roughly along in english. They are playing on the hardboard again. The author is worried about his opponent's squad, as it is very mobile and can get to his commanders and wreck havoc. He gets an early round shot at R2, and needing only a 1 to miss... rolls a 1. The rest of the match goes very quickly, he loses Han and the Ithor, but manages to get Yoda down to 10 hps.. only to have Panaka swap him to safety for Mas! With no way to match the points, it is a loss. Team de Franck : -Yoda on Kybuck -General Skywalker -Captain panaka -R2D2 Astro -Mas Amedda -3 UD -1 Mouse Droid Break for lunch, he has some delicious sandwiches thanks to AFJV {whoever they are!} and spends some time talking with the other players. They discuss the various squads and particularly the strength of Cad/Thrawn being run by the German players. Also he gets a chance to meet and talk with some members of the [swmini] forum in real life rather than over a keyboard. Barely enough time to finish eating when the 3rd round begins. His opponent is Laurent and when the roll for map.. he loses again and plays on.. Hardboard.. for the third time! He uses a similar strategy as the first time, moving into that bottom room, and manages to sneak up on Luke and hit him for 50.. said Wook is then popped by Fett and both shooters run away to the Conference Room. He is then able to base his opponents Uggys and eventually killing them, and locking Luke and Fett in the room, while killing the rest of the squad! He even gets crit on Leia, hurray! A tough loss for his opponent, but fair, they agree to meet later on. Team de Laurent: -Boba Fett BH -Luke Skywalker Hero of Yavin -General Dodonna -1UD -Princess Leia of Cloud City -Obi Wan Kenobi Jedi Spirit -General Rieekan -Caamasi -1 UD 4th match is vs Salezzo Jean-Michel (who would finish in the top 8), once again.. map loss! he gets to play on Muunlist Commerce Plaza, which is reasonably symmetric. His opponent brought in 3 mice and 3 Uggies to counter his activations. His opponent remarks that they have even activations and the first one to make an error loses. As the match progresses, he is able to hit Kreia once for 50 .. but since he had a placement error, is unable to get a 2nd wook close enough to finish her off! His opponent nets 9 points and fights defensively the rest of the match. The han/leia combo is too tough to handle and the author takes another loss. Team de Jean-Michel : -Lobot -Kreia -General Rieekan -Princess Leia -Han Solo Smuggler -General Dodonna -Juno Eclipse 5th match is vs Christophe Collobert !!!!! {who he was talking to earlier, seems to be a good friend met online, goes under pseudonym 'ADX'} doesn't win map.. again.. and plays on rattatak arena. Christopher is running a jedi hunting squad, but with no jedi to hunt this time! A pretty lopsided event, as he had his opponent badly out activated. He gets a good streak going of rolling 20.. 1...20...1.. And even though he won, it was the most fun he'd had all day and couldn't think of a match where he laughed more, thanks to his excellent opponent. La team d'ADX : -Grand Master Tsavong Laa -YV Jedi Hunter *4 -1 UD -1 Mouse Droid. 6th and final match was against Bouschri Loïc, who was playing a similar squad as himself. Finally he wins map choice and plays on Chancellor's Starship. He gets to set up on the left even! However his opponent brought along a disruptive piece, and kept Juno alive long enough to make it too difficult for the Wooks to take anything down. A tough loss, but good game. Sa team : -Aura Sing CS -Han Solo Storm -Jarael -Ithorian Commander -R2D2 extensor -General Dodonna -Juno Eclipse -Aqualish Assassin *5 The Final standings are shortly announced: **note that there are no commas, but it goes Last Name, First Name** Top 8 Photo Quote: 1er Allroggen Christopher 18pts 2e Deza Caceres Tanguy 15pts 3e Gross Sébastien 15pts 4e Pontarlier Arnaud 15pts 5e Deschamps Sylvie 15pts 6e Bordone Romain 15pts 7e Janouscewski Remy 15pts 8e Koch Daniel 12pts 9e Scholze Sebastian 12pts 10e Gerolstein Franck 12pts 11e Le Tessier Mathieu 12pts 12e Saluzzo Jean Michel 12pts 13e Kauffman Jonathan 12pts 14e Enault Pierre 12pts 15e Rober Freddy 12pts 16e Tack Jari 12pts 17e De Nadaillac Yves 12pts 18e Vailliere Olivier 12pts 19e Prein Xavier12pts 20e Pfister Frederic 12pts 21e Bousckri Loic 12pts 22e Fakour Jenny 10pts 23e Gehling Michael 10pts 24e Damman Alexis 9pts 25e Lamarche Fabrice 9pts 26e Rouslan Alzoubaidy 9pts 27e Brito Claude Martin 9pts 28e Ober Remi 9pts 29e Da Silva Gomes Raphael 9pts <<<< our author 30e Charreyre Cedric 9pts 31e Vimeux Vianney 9pts 32e Benureau David 9pts 33e Kozuschez Kai 9pts 34e Alexandre Laurent 9pts 35e Jobineau Franck 9pts 36e Fremont Georges 9pts 37e Pohlig Laurent 9pts 38e Peyrottes Loic 9pts 39e Landais Sébastien 9pts 40e Compiegne Baptiste 9pts 41e Ravon Nicolas 9pts 42e Drouot Thomas 9pts 43e Leitao Wilson 6pts 44e Ober Pascal 6pts 45e Parmentier Alexandre 6pts 46e Diot Nicolas 6pts 47e Sutter Alexandre 6pts 48e Ludwig Jean Philippe 6pts 49e Aparicio Nicolas 6pts 50e Collobert Christophe 6pts 51e Mousset Regis 6pts 52e Guerinaud Alexis 6pts 53e Gourdin James 6pts 54e Marie Benjamin 6pts 55e Vidalenc Francois 6pts 56e Sigler Vincent 6pts 57e Vidalenc Francois 6pts 58e ???? 59e Peyrottes Lionel 3pts 60e Jerabek Norman 3pts 61e Rouslan Alexis 3pts 62e Bordone Benjamin 3pts 63e Vidalenc Marc 3pts 64e Ober Lucas 0pts The author finished with a 3-3 record, which is what he was aiming for, so is pretty happy about that! The top eight move on, as well as these 8 earlier champions: Quote: Ravon Nicolas Pfister Frederic Tack Jari Enault Pierre Saluzzo Jean Michel Le Tessier Mathieu Gerolstein Frank Scholze Sebastian The first round pairings are: Quote: Allroggen Christopher / Ravon Nicolas Deza Caceres Tanguy / Pfister Frederic Gross Sebastien / Tack Jari Pontarler Arnaud / Enault Pierre Deschamps Sylvie / Saluzzo Jean Michel Bordone Romain / Le Tessier Mathieu Janouscewski Remy / Gerolstein Frank Scholze Sebastian / Koch Daniel The author's friend Nicolas, was paired with the eventual winner C. Allroggen who was running the Cad/Thrawn comment. It appears that he lost badly {or was facing certain defeat} as the author and their friends heckled him for the rest of the night with comments such as "you could count your points with your teeth" and "Do you need to go to the pharmacy to get some Vaseline?". Clearly it was a bit one sided! He recounts that he had some trouble sleeping as his bed-mate was a prolific snorer {I'm sure most of us can sympathize}. I'm just going to briefly summarize the next bit where he talks about his participation in the Sealed 150 event. It seems the rest of the Top 16 was played out in another room at the same time. Plus there was some cool 3D Terrain! 2 Boosters, 27 Players.. and everyone was searching for Cad! Only 2 Players pulled him though. Our author played; -Général Skywalker -Nadhar Vebb -R7 astromech -IG 100 artillerist -ARF troper -501 clone trooper -Senate commando -Weequay pirate and in the 4 matches he won twice. Played against: Rex and Repeater Cannon - was able to win, thanks to override and a small mistake by his opponent. Obi GJ and Rex - Loss, looses r& due to placement error and Anakin and Nadhar don't stand a chance vs Obi. Obi GJ and B3/R7/LR Combat - Win, is able to use direct damage (Force Push) to kill Obi after killing the B3 and finally hunting down the LR Obi JG and Kit - Loss, Triple/twin and 2 Surprise moves cause him to loses Anakin before damaging Obi and thus the game. The Author spends some time remarking on how much he dislikes the new Obi, and in fact refers to him as GWOK throughout the article. His first opponent tries to convince him that Obi GJ isn't as good as he trades FR for 5 fps and Surpise Move, but the author is not convinced. In his opinion Obi JG is just as good as GWOK. Even though he places 11th, its enough for some prize support! A Rex! Plus his VR pull (Nadhar) helps him to complete his collection, so that is good news. The final bit is about the prize support given to the top 16 finishers. Everyone received 2 boosters, with extra stuff going to those who finished higher up. Top 16 Final Placement Quote: 1/Koch Daniel 2/Tack Jari 3/Janouscewski Rémi 4/Sylvie Deschamps 5/Pfister Frederic 6/Allroggen Christopher 7/Bordone Romain 8/Pontarlier Arnaud 9/Gerolstein Frank 10/Scholze Sebastien 11/Enault Pierre 12/Gross Sebatsien 13/Le Tessier Matthieu 14/Saluzzo Jean-Michel 15/Ravon Nicolas 16/Deza Caceres Tanguy The first place finisher, Daniel Koch, received a Yoda FX lightsaber (batteries not included!) Third placer, and top French finisher Rémi Janouscewski received a signed Darth Vader poster. The author ends with Thanks going out to friends and the people who helped make such a great event possible (like the organizers and WotC). Ends with the 'second' place picture of the Scout Trooper Sniper by Fabrice If you speak and can translate better than me feel free to correct me! Original Article Here! |

np bill, I wish there was more about the top 16 play off, but clearly the author wasn't in it. I check out the blog by Xavier, but couldn't find anything useful. EDIT: poked around a little more.. some useful things: Squads in the Swiss Rounds Old Republic = 3 Republic = 9 New Republic = 6 Empire = 11 Sith = 2 Yuuzhan Vong = 2 Separatist 4 Mandalorian = 3 Rebel = 24 I think Xavier won the Sealed 150, with Rex and Kit |
