Its pretty unacceptable that you keep letting minor concerns such as "work" and "family" derail you from what should clearly be your highest priority.

Finally at least got something done.

Dude, you do realise that we only give you a ribbing because you're freaking awesome and you totally do not give yourself enough credit.

Right?

What can I even say to this?

You make self-deprecating humor really difficult, you know.

Pilot no55389 (Hammers of Kuat) vs Cutter9999 (Alamo City Fleet)

280 - 464 (184 MOV)

8-2 to Cutter

Great game, lots of squadron murderising from the Raiders but Jar Jar Binks sat on the fire lanes and racked up 16 tokens pushing Cutter way ahead. Still, very good game!

Great game Pilot no.55389! You had me worrying all the way to the end.

He had us all sweating.

Pilot, just wanted to say, that maneuver on turn 2 (I think it was?) where Instigator snagged all three Jumpmasters at the same time... that was some fantastic flying right there. Kudos.

Thanks :)

Grabbing them with Instigator really helped me out, forcing those bombers to engage the TIEs for a round and a half, giving me a lot of AA without reprisal. Though in the end it didn't help :P But yeah, was a great game, even if I am a bit disappointed with myself!

Part of why I love this tournament setup is that the results of any one game affect more than just your opponents - you're teammates are invested too, and rooting for you to win! :D

When yousa bombad general, yousa can name da team whateeeever yousa want.

Precision Strike, I was first player.

Played against Skycake, who had a very interesting tactic, sitting next to the station with a carrier, at speed 0, and the ungodly Rhymer ball of bombers he has. which had me worried a lot. Dutch hit Rhymer, to forestall that, just in range, and just out of escort range. Luke also came in, to force Dengar to move to him, or have bombers locked down from moving, meaning they couldn't hit ships, due to the B-wing CSP/CAP. He also got Jan, who I used to try and block. (Having bad luck hitting her.) He killed Salvation turn 3, with Motti, but in exchange for losing Salvation, with a final ram to kill it (2 cards total), I neutralized, his fighters, taking out all but 1 tie advanced, meaning all of his squads were heavy, then the bad luck started for him.

The MC80 and Yavaris had curved to engage Motti, figuring on pinning down the fighters, and winning on a close one just taking out Motti. I spent a die for a token figuring it was going to be scarily close and going for some MOV, with the front arc. I turned over Comm noise with him going at speed 1 -> Speed 0, with no nav tokens, since that's during the attacker's spend step, he can't then spend defense tokens, and the other 2 dice (blue range) batter down his shields. Then the side arc hits, and I spend a die to flip one, and it's the same one. So the command gets changed to a (at that point useless squadron command) Turn 4, the MC80 activates first, and blows up the ship.

The other ISD, starts getting underway, when Luke comes knocking. Unfortunately, his bombers are proving that Black die have blanks. (I think it's like X-wings, trying to shoot ships, while there are fighters on the board. They always seem to miss for me, something luke did as well) The Bs kept getting hits, which turned into flips, and without Motti, and running into at one point, a squad of Yavarised Bs that flipped Injured Crew until there were no defense tokens left, it ended poorly for the Not Motti ISD on Turn 6, and the bombers couldn't get a kill on a 1 health B-wing, called because as first player, against heavy squads, it could run away, and he couldn't hit any of the other Bs for enough damage.

This was what I'd consider a Lucky 10-0, with 655 to 107 for a 548 MOV.

I felt bad, because of the tokens, but I wanted to make sure I got the 10-0 for the team. (Sorry!)

I do think I have a alternate for the other game, so hopefully that gets played (likely this weekend if I understand the schedules correctly, not completely finalized.)

.

Finally got around to updating the spreadsheet, now that I can relax... at work?

Still working on getting scheduled with Onca.

Almost done with what I should have done 2 weeks ago.

Not going to be a matchup of the week until next week... unless someone else wants to step up to the plate and write / stream one.

Chilligan vs. dorrin 8-2 (202 MoV)

A tale of Rebel vs. Rebel, 3 TCR90s vs 3 TCR90s, Mon Mothma vs. Ackbar! Dorrin had a nasty fleet, one I did not want to approach from any side. I took first player and Dangerous Territory, figuring it would force him out of a traditional conga line and it did! From his formation I singled out where guppy carrying Ackbar was heading, and I tried to intercept him with everything, forcing his Corvettes to be out of range at the same time. I tried my best to use my first activation to get the ships in danger out of the way and avoid Home One's arcs. Once Ackbar and 2 CR90s were out of the picture, I managed to get good cleanup shots and was able to leave him standing in just one CR90.

Tense game, dorrin. Hope to play you again some time!

I would, except I'm on Spring Break, which somehow means my evenings are more full then they are back at college... :blink::wacko:

Its important to note that the tide really turned when Chilligans fleet was renamed from CR1, CR2, CR3 to Hiphopotomous, Rhymnocerous and the Jolly Wodger by an unidentifyed online hooligan.

Dorrin should really note that calling your flagship "Alpha" shows a real lack of empathy and attachment. No wonder it died.

That unidentified online hooligan was probably MattShadowlord. He has done that to me several times during the games we have played together (such as renaming my tournament fleet into weird names ei Foreskin for Foresight and Hindquaters for Hindsight). He has a funny sense of humour at times :D but he is a great opponent.
