Martinsburg Regional - The Thread

By BiggsIRL, in Star Wars: Armada

Here we go! After 2 hours of sleep thanks to paper thin walls at the Knights Inn it is the big day.

Off to breakfast at Waffle House at 8am, then 9am Registration. Come on down. I will be the guy in the "Sans" shirt with the MLFD hat.

Mmmmm.... Hash browns.

Scattered smothered covered chunked and capped, baby

Wish I could make it. Good luck all.

Getting ready to rock and roll

Biggs I dont think you should go sans shirt.

Time to play some Stah Wahs!

Good luck to everyone! My first regional kicks off in a week from today.

Four word AAR for my first round: I flew like crap.

SUBMARINE TO THE TOP!

Second round I lost badly enough to question my own intelligence

That's tough, Audio. Hoping you can nab a win next round!

DEEP SUBMARINE TO THE TOP

I experienced that in Pittsburgh.

That's some rough s**t.

Third round win by 18 points, and most importantly, had a LOT of laughs.

Good Zod Motti isd's are hard to kill

Dual Dodonnas on R4 top table.

What are the lists!

Dual Mothmas on bottom table lol

You heard it here first: Mon Mothma is a bottom.

Truthiness (Rieekan) vs Biggs (Dodonna) on the top table for the cut to 2. I can't quite pull it off - Rieekan and his MC80 die, but he takes my carrier and Dodonna's CR90 with him.

Congratulations Truthiness on your Regional Win. Just glad I don't have to play you at Nationals (because you aren't going).

All told it was a blast traveling down and meeting all you guys. Getting 5 games of Armada in one day was pretty sweet too.

**** gratz to truthiness and shirtless biggs for their great showing!

Congratulations on the win Truthiness. First round game was a blast. Hopefully now that you're back in MD I'll see you around up at GnS.

I came in third - lots of fun, and it was good seeing 30 players. I barely missed 2nd due to MOV! It was cool seeing a bunch of different rebel commanders and varied lists everywhere.

I still can't believe I squeaked by you on MoV. I thought I was done for after that 2-8 start. It just goes to show was that you're never out in a big tournament like this. I pulled together three straight 9-1 wins (including one that was 9 points shy of a 10-0) to claw back to fight Biggs. Biggs seemed to be dominating the tourney up to that point. He had 34 tournament points to our measly 29. I'm absolutely in love with the 4 rounds plus a cut (despite being dead tired). It feels like a much more complete experience with things really coming down to the wire.

The funny this was I was sweating the top 8 with 28 points and didnt realize I was within a point of you guys until just now. I definitely agree that the 4 rounds makes a huge difference. I was in the middle in the pack after game 3 but pulled out a 9-1 at the end which shot me back up.
