I didn't get to play you this time Phil but I have to say, you are always a gracious and fun opponent to play against. See you soon man.

Since I was pretty upset with my last match on Saturday when I was on track to make the Top 8 cut until I made major mistake with Whisper that barrel rolled the Phantom behind a rock, uncloaked, just out of range of a shot on a Z95, leading to Wes + VI + R3A2 getting an easy shot next round and causing the demise of Whisper (my only major mistake of the whole day).

I had:
Whisper + VI + ACD + Rebel Captive
Omicron + FCS + Tactician + Gunner
Omicron + FCS + Tactician + Gunner
100pts

I went 5-2 on Thursday and 3-2 on Saturday. Honorable mentions include 8 stress tokens on a Han with console fire and only 1 hp left, only to have my cloaked Whisper get finished off by a Bandit! Various stressed Firesprays regretting not having an action when 2 turning. 2 Z95s and 1 B Wing with 2 or 3 stress tokens each.

First loss of first day was to my friend's Roark anti-phantom tech squad. The next was to Han + Corran ( Corran had 6/7 stress tokens at some point).
Second day losses were to Han + VI + C3P0 + Merc Copilot and 4 Z95s and to the Wes + VI + R3A2, Wedge + Predator, 3 Z95s.

I faced a plethora of squads with Phantoms, Ties, Bs, Falcons, Firesprays, Shuttles, Z95s, I think everything except A Wings.

As I expected, not 1 game did it matter that I did not make an initiative bid for the PS 9 Han solos, as they should all have VI on them.

The squad was something I worked on the night before Gencon, and it turned out being more fun than than I thought. It really is a pain for people to pin down and put damage on the Phantom when there are 2 stress pumping cows taking away actions and pinning down the heavy hitters. Just cant ignore the cows when they are built like that.

Having recieved the bad end of it, I agree that this squad was a real pain. Glad you crawled out from 2-2 to advance. One of the nicest opponents a guy will ever play. He totally annihilates your squad and you are still smiling and laughing the whole time.

Have to agree - Phild0 is a great guy. It was fun being his target practice for this list the night before. I remember giving up on counting stress tokens, because there'd be no way for me to recover from them all.

MajorJuggler, I will have the results from the NA Championship to you on Tuesday. I am going to finalize the top 62 then submit it to FFG. Once I am done. I will have the list with MOV and score in order up to the top 8. I get back to Omaha on Monday then will work on it Tuesday Morning. Was one heck of a 3 days.

Does anyone have the sheets for full squad lists and rankings from Thursday and Friday?

Here are the rankings from Thursday as taken with my phone:

I'm sorry that the last pic is so blurry. I thought it focused better. Cell phone cameras are frustrating beasts. At least the top half of that page's names are clear in that second pic.

double post. thanks cell phone. no, i want you to edit, not make a new post.

Dutch Nationals will be held at september 7th in Leiden. Attendance so far is 39.

I'm Chris Jenkins up on those lists for Gen Con Nationals

My squad was:

Han Solo with Veteran Instincts, C3P0, and Millennium Falcon

Tarn Mison with R7 Astromech

2x Bandit Squadron Pilot

What an amazing experience it was, and some of the best games of X-Wing I've ever played.

I had:

Whisper + VI + ACD + Rebel Captive

Omicron + FCS + Tactician + Gunner

Omicron + FCS + Tactician + Gunner

100pts

What was your final placement? I assume you had 15 points, that would put you at something between #11 to #20.

It looks like I was 29th or so, Phillip Horny. I had 15pts. My MoV wasn't great, but I know at least 2 of the 4-1 players had modified wins, and I think they were 8th and 9th place finishers.

Honorable mentions include 8 stress tokens on a Han with console fire and only 1 hp left, only to have my cloaked Whisper get finished off by a Bandit!

We ran out of stress tokens!

Yep, I was 4-1 on the day with a modified win. So close. My brain and my dice took a left turn when playing Paul.

9th place overall once Tyler dropped

So.... that means you are:

#10 - Pasquale Mazzi (18 pts, 571 MoV, 500 SoS):

??

Hm. I don't have your squad yet.

Herm... looking at the results... I know they are wrong. They have Phildo listed at 10 points, but he went 3-2 so he should be at 9, 12, or 15, not 10. They clearly only marked him as winning two games. Which wouldn't be the first time they made a mistake. After the first round, the second round pairings had me playing a person that was 1-0 while my first round opponent who beat me, was matched against someone 0-1. I brought this to the TO, and they confirmed that they put the win down next to my name, not his. And on Thursday, they were treating the super bye as a loss until round 4, when they switched it to a win...

So, as always with a large tourney, mistakes were made by everyone. Hopefully none of them affected the cuts though.

Khyros, The super Bye drops after round 1 now with MOV since SOS is no longer in the picture.

The Super bye is now a 5 point victory and 200 points MOV. After that it does not affect your score.

150 for Margin of Victory

Khyros, what is Phildo's Real name so I can look at it.

The super bye is 200. The regular bye is 150.

What's the difference between a super bye and a regular bye?

Are there any videos of the US or other nationals up? I found what i believe is the Italian championship and a german top 4 game. If someone could link or direct me to a good source of links that would be most appreciated.

Did Italy have their National? I don't even have them listed.

Germany is this next weekend, the 24th. See the first page of the thread.

The Super bye is the bye the regional winners get. The regular bye is the one that the last player gets when there is an odd number of players.

None were affected. Yes Mistakes were made, but most were corrected. That was the most exciting time I have had running tournaments. Plus, running on 10 hours of sleep over the 3 days and working 15+ hours for the first tournament is a bit taxing. All in all it went well though.

Khyros, what is Phildo's Real name so I can look at it.

The super bye is 200. The regular bye is 150.

Can you show me this in the Rules?!

I think a Super Bye is also a 150 MoV...Alex Davy told me.

First i think it Must 200, but it is to strong i think.

The german one is formatted better, i haven't watched the italian one yet but there's the link i found.

Oh wow, it was won by

I am going to see if I can track down details now.

How did you come across this? Random YouTube searching?

IL had 5 of the top 10 spots. Nick, Dave, Dom, Myself (Tyler), and Pasquale!

Congrats to IL! Is it in the water? If so, I need to drink some myself!

Its not the water its the Corn Fed Beef that we bring to the table....
