The following happened at my FLGS last night. I was playing e/Qui Gon e/Kanan against a 3xFO stormtrooper + 1 TIE pilot. I had managed to kill most of his characters despite him playing Endless ranks twice and he had killed my Qui Gon and we were down to what was the last round of the game. His remaining trooper had 4 health left and Kanan had 6. He rolled out his stormtrooper with 3 upgrades on it and then I activated kanan who had 3 upgrades. My opponent didn't roll very well but then proceeded to play We have them now and turned all of his dice to sides showing ranged damage showing a total of 8 damage. I thought that was it for me then I realised that I had Force Misdirection in my hand and one of Kanan's dice was showing a focus side. I couldn't hide my delight as I used Kanan's ability to resolve his focus die turning his other to ranged damage and then using my action to play Force misdirection and removed all of his dice. He passed his next turn and then,as my final gambit I had to discard my final card (not just in hand but last card available) to re roll the rest of my dice and managed to roll 8 damage which was enough to finish him off.

From my last game night:

Playing eK2-SO/Padawan, start of round 2. 3 resources, Padawan had a Lightsaber and K2-SO hadn't got his mojo off yet. My opponent did stuff during the turn, but nothing super relevant.

Played Hit and Run, resolved K2's dice for damage. Played Bestow to move the Lightsaber to K2 and trigger his ability. Played Electostaff on Padawan, rolled her in and did some more damage (I think at some point here I offed Maz). Played a second Bestow to move the Electrostaff to K2, told my friend this could be one of the worse things I'd ever done to him, then played the last card in my hand, a second Hit and Run to activate K2 again, now dual weilding a Lightsaber and an Electrostaff.

Proceed to roll 2 damage across all four dice, including two blanks. So close....

With the amount of cards now available the synergy with the right deck builds can be a lot of fun.

My most memorable play came at GenCon last year, in our very first demo of the game. My friend and I had watched the previous demo, so we had a pretty good idea of how to play when we sat down. We had a blast describing the action as we took our turns. The best part was when he described Rey reaching out with the Force I grab a Lightsaber when he played Use the Force, only to have me describe how that Lightsaber stayed stuck in the ground (on blank) as Kylo reached out with his own Use the Force.

As for my most memorable moment involving EaW-legal tournaments, that had to be in Round 3 of our last Wednesday night tournament. I used eGeneral Grievous/Gamorrean Guard. In Round 1, I defeated Padme, who had a Vibro Ax, but I forgot about the General's ability to steal it. So I vowed to remember that ability the rest of the tournament. In Round 2 I faced an eHera/eMaz/Ezra deck using no upgrades, so I had nothing to steal. I finally got my chance in Round 3, when I defeated Snap! His only upgrade? Wingman. Useless! I stole it anyway.

I'd say about 50% of the games I play, are multiplayer with my wife and son. One of my best plays was running eJango/FO trooper x2(one of my favs for MP!). We were about mid-game. I rolled Jango off per his ability.. I played Relentless pursuit to kill my sons Krennic, Infamous for ambush, resolved 4 ranged damage on my wife's Rey, who was three from death. Double action cheat, double kill.

I rubbed it in a little, then was targeted by both of them until I got wiped out...I deserved it, but still worth it. It's a moment that gets brought up to strike fear in them every now and then. Haha

I do like the narrative/alternate story aspect of this game. Its just a shame that games at the moment are played as quickly as possible. I play against one guy though who is a keen RPG player and we try to creep in the odd bit of story to our games. I think it is an direction the game could have taken if it hadn't been sold as a fast playing two player game.

I think my best play ever was with ObiWan/Rey against Palpatine in the last round of a tournament. Rey had died, and old Ben was all alone against the Emperor. Both characters had two health remaining, and Palpatine had claimed. He went first, rolled in with a Force Lightning and a Holdout Blaster. He rolled about ten damage over four dice, so there was nothing I could do in terms of mitigation. So I rolled in Ben, and got that three melee side. Puzzled, my opponent killed Ben easily with all that damage. Then “before this character would be defeated” (as per Obi-Wan’s card text) I played a Decisive Blow from my hand for free, dealing three damage to Palpatine from Ben’s dice. And therefore, Palpatine was defeated “before” Obi-Wan would be defeated!

Playing eAurra/eBala. Not a great roll for either character. So I played Fight Dirty, removed five yellow dice and did five damage. Next turn I played Armed To The Teeth, removed all of Aurra's upgrades and did three more damage which won me the game.

Playing ePhasma(Awakenings)/Bala/Trooper. Very close game. My Phasma is already gone, and both my Trooper and Bala are down to 1 health each. My opponent has one character left with 6 health (Leia with 3 upgrades). Bala has two upgrades (a HO Blaster and a F-11D Rifle). Bala is exhausted but my Trooper is still available but without upgrades, and my opponent claims (he had Dug In and Best Defense and wanted to be sure to hold the BF). He confidently (but nicely) informs me that in addition to the Dug In and Best Defense he has also has Hit and Run and All In, so he likely has me beaten. So as a last ditch effort, I Back-Up Muscle my own Bala to defeat him, which redeploys the HO Blaster and Rifle to the Trooper. I then roll him in and hit 6 damage to finish Leia. It took a few minutes to convince him that Back-Up Muscle could be played on your own characters. It was a fun play!

I played a casual game yesterday, the match in itself isn't very important, but at the end of turn 1:

-I had U-Wing and millenium falcon in play AND natural pilot

-I rolled u-wing 3 times thanks to natural pilot and reckless reentry

Starting Characters:

-eLando / Rookie pilot / Erza

This deck is insanely good at generating ressources and 2 game in a row I had 2 strong vehicule turn one AND natural pilot. Strangely I have 3 vehicule deck (1 lando, 2nd hera, 3 ciena ray) and only the Lando one looks like a tournament one. I'll try a tournament this week end, 1st player picks a full box of his / her choice.

Playing Lando/Ackbar against an Unkarr Deck and he draws the Millennium Falcon, I played "Fair" Trade and took 7 resources for 1 of my own. (EDIT: Looks like he got 1 quarter portion!!)
