I didnt see anyone else make a report of the con, but if there already is one, then my apologies.
We had a decent turnout, considering several of the local players werent able to make it out this past Saturday. Thanks to the Ownesboro and St Louis groups for coming out.
The main prize support for the con was a single case of JA, provided by Scott Thorne of Castle Perilous games in Carbondale. We decided to give each tourney 3 boosters as prize support, and do a 'sportsmanship award' for each tourney with the remaining three boosters.
In the morning, I ran a Dynamic Duo game, where 15 people attended. The players went through four rounds, and I played against the bye-round players to keep them occupied (went 3-1 with Boba Merc and RotS ObiWan).
In the third round, Matt Johnson of Paducah, KY, pulled out a win against our own Jonathan Bryson of Carbondale thanks to Jon's GM Yoda rolling a 1, and a1 on the FP, against Matt's Kreia.
The 'finals' came down to Matt Spry of StL, playing Jango BH and Vodo, vs our own Bob McChristian, playing Durge and Dooku. Matt played a good game, but Bob pulled it out for the win.
We had a tie for the sportsmanship award for the DD tourney, between Dennis Beard (Boris), and Mickey Smith (Mickey), and the tie breaker went to Mickey, who pulled the Dark Woman.
After lunch, I ran the 150pt tourney, this one having 18 players. Again we did 4 rounds. To my suprise, there was only one Luke Snowspeeder squad, and one 'Fingers and Teeth' squad.
Jason Alvy from Owensboro took the tourney, playing the Snowspeeder squad, and this time for the sportsmanship award, we had a 4 way tie...with 2 votes each, lol. I hadnt voted, so I cast my vote to Matt Hilman (sp?) of St. Louis, though Im not sure what he pulled.
In the evening, Luke_Skywalker ran the Team Tournament. We again had 15 players (5 teams), and I got to play for real for the first time that day
This was going to be the 'big tourney' of the day, thanks to the Godfatehr showing up in the afternoon with a full set of Clone Strike (thats STRIKE, not WARS) for prizes.
My teammates were my fiancee Kristen (Playing Cade, Riekkan, TBSV, 2 ugos), and Matt Johnson of Paducah (playing 2 Ossus Gaurdian Vong, Garm, and filler). I was playing Luminara, Barris Ofee, R2AD, Antarian Ranger, and 3 ugos. We were Team "Yo Momma", cause I couldnt think of anything at all.
Round 1 we faced off against 'the Boris Henchmen' team, or something like that. We won the die roll, and Matt played against Jason Alvy, Kristen took on Dennis, and I faced Gray. (playing Mara Jedi, Han in STA, Jaina, and a Camaasi Noble).
He won map roll and we played on Muunilist. I started on the side opposite the room, and quickly moved up to grab gambit. He moved out and quickly mowed R2 down, which I placed badly, thanks to forgetting everyone was going to move 12 and attack. My jedi took Mara down thanks to a lucky initiative. In the next round, I dealt some dmg, but he took out Barris, leaving me with Luminara and a single Ugo, against his Han and Jaina. I won the init, and took out Jaina, winning the game cause of gambit.
(me: 100, Gray: 74. Matt beat out Jason, and Kristen lost to Dennis. We won the round by total team points scored.)
Round 2, we played Team "Unreal", I think.
I played against Jonathan Bryon, playing Boba BH, Dodonna, a Bothan Noble, and some ugos and mice.
Again I lost map roll, and we duked it out on hardboard. I set up in the reactor area, and he in the room. He nailed R2 early with a single shot, and rolled a 1 for the other.
The following round a pair of 1's spare R2s life for a moment. He uses the noble, and rolls another 1 on R2, and then a 20 for the twin, disentigrating the remaining 10hp that R2 had.
The game was fairly boring really. He killed stuff, I ran around, trying to stay out of line of sight while keeping the jedi in cover, close enough together to get the synergy bonus, and keep them in gambit if at all possible. He finally took out Barriss for the win, but I had completely forgotten she had force heal.
Final Score was Jon: 100, me: 93, without killing Boba...I just ran around alot and scored gambit.
Kristen and Matt won both there games, and we easily beat their team on points. 2-0 now.
Round 3 we played against a team composed of three guys from StL, and I cant remember their team name. I played Matt Spry, who was playing Han Smug, Luke Commando, princess Leia, Riekkan, Dodonna, and 1 ugo.
The game went completely his way, even though I won map roll this time. We played on Throne Room. I set up in the hallway, and made my way up to gambit. He came around and threw han into position where he could get los on r2 and the ranger and took them out round 2. I amanaged to kill Han, but that was it. Final score: matt: 100+, me: like 40ish.
I went over to watch kristens game where she was playing keith, who was playing Dash, ozzel, and some disciples of ragnos. She managed to pull out the win by enough points to cover up for my utter failure, and we won the tourney, 3-0.
So, our team got first pick of prizes (which were laid out individually). Order within your team was decided by wins, and by points scored, if there was a tie. Matt got first pick, going 3-0. He took Aurra Sing. Kristen went 2nd, getting a 2-1, and I went third, with 1-2. I grabbed us Maul and Sidious (both of which are for trade btw, if youve got a Felcor...). Order comes back around two more times that we got R/VR for, and she and I wind up with extra: Spider droid, capt typho, quinlan vos, and kiadi mundi (all of which are also for trade lol).
So, all in all, a good day. I went 4-3 in games played, and Kristen went 6-5, having played in all three tourneys.
I hope everyone who attended had a good time, and we wich the rest of you could have made it.
Keep a look out for Egypt Wars, coming in April 2010.
