Played a team epic game, where one theatre of it was just Chewbacca and Whisper duking it out the entire match (not my ships). The entire other theatre was all of my ships and all of my teammate's ships save for Whisper. The opponents had some good stuff, including a well flown transport focused on action aid and jamming.

Near the end of it, the only things left on the board were my Vessery with 2 hull (I'd brought an upgrade), the opponent's Transport and Chewbacca. I was located at (relative to me) the top right of the play field, while Chewie was near the bottom left. After dealing with the transport, i had to turn into the last portion of the fight. But I was still double stressed from the Jammers. So I had to take two straight 5s. This was a gamble, as I knew I'd be passing in Chewie's arc for one round without actions to help mitigate. I thought I was done for, when he rolled three natural crits. I in turn rolled 3 natural evades. The next turn I was able to take my second 5 straight, shedding my last stress and taking me out of chewie's arc. He had to come around that turn, as the bee line i ran forced him to come about at an odd angle.

Anyway, after k-turning I fired on chewie with my Ion Cannon. I just needed to deal a little bit of damage, so i chose to force him to lose his extra evade die (since he had MF title, firing main guns would have given him a huge advantage). Sure enough, my one damage got through. This is important because it put him down to 1 Hull.

We then streaked straight for one another. We ended up coming to about 1/4" apart. I took a focus, while he took an evade. I fired my primary weapon and got 3 hits out of 4. This put him in an interesting spot. He just needed one tap to kill him. He already had one covered from the evade token, but he couldn't play it safe with his C3P-0 guess. He had to guess both guess 1 and roll 1 in order to stop all three hits. But alas, he got the blank instead. Boom.

To this day it makes me think of that "samurai flash finish", where they both run at each other and strike, and it takes a second for you to figure out which one drops.

Vessery…so spice.

Great stories!! Some of the 1vAll comebacks are pretty amazing!! Dice rolls really can change the entire atmosphere of a game

So, Assault on Imdaar Alpha semi-finals. I'm flying Chewy (Opportunist and Han Solo) and 2 Blues with Sensor Jammer. Opponent had Chewy (C-3P0 and something else) and 2 Daggers with FCS.

We traded ships. Both of us lost a B-Wing and Chewy. On the turn that my Chewy went down, his largely untouched B-Wing was one speed distance, directly behind my untouched Blue. He has PS on me, plus a permanent target lock, and it's a good player. I can't one-shot him, and if I make a mistake, he can barrel roll behind me and do serious damage, even if Sensor Jammer saves me a hit.

This game would go on a good 15 rounds. I would move and barrel roll, either into where I knew he had to go or to try and get him in arc. I danced around him, always at a serious disadvantage. He got a couple shots on me, but I finally took a chance. I guessed he was going to K-Turn, so I turn and barrel rolled out of his arc if he did so. If he had turned or did a 1-Forward, like I feared, it was all over. He flips the dial... and it's a K-Turn. I light him up. Next turn he has nowhere to go, because I could 1 bank, focus, and have any possible maneuver he took in arc. And down his Dagger goes.

It was absolutely the hardest fought battle I've had. I literally gave myself a headache predicting his moves. This was a good, seasoned player, but I was able to out think him and finally took a risk and it paid off. We both got the ships we wanted (I would lose the finals, but I didn't care after that victory).

I did have an experience back in W2 where I had locked Fel down, and managed to get a hit and crit on him... he draws the stress crit and takes a focus. I then proceed to shoot with my next guy... hit hit crit... focus focus evade... The crit literally saved Fel's life... That ain't right.

For me it would be:

Chewie (with one hull left) missing and taking a reroll with gunner and landing 4 crits on a Y with 5 hull left. one crit being direct hit!

I shouldn't need to say, other player was not amused.
