Game 1: My LS vs Antonio Vigliotti's DS Kuat Drive Yards
I got a good start and Revolved his Kuat first turn, and dropped a Nudj to the swamp. On his turn he dropped the Death Star, Kashyyk, and Wakelumui (or whatever :o) On my turn I signal'd for a Revolution and revolved his Milwaukee, a nice force generation 3 system for the LS now, and dropped another Nudj. Over the next few turns I revolved a few more of his systems and set up a drain on Y4, by moving a nudj away and using Obi with his saber. He started getting out ships but many of them fell at the hands of my ships, RL, GL, LimF, and Spiral, thanx to Savrip. Meanwhile my drains on the ground were increasing thanx to a Revolved y4 Ruins and Anakin's Saber. I got a Landing Claw and blocked most of his drains. Full win by 27.
Highlights: Revo still works
Lowlights: None
Game 2: My DS vs Bob Schultz's LS Playing your Dad is rarely fun, but oh well. I couldn't remember what his deck was for the life of me, but when he started Dagobah and no objective, I was pretty sure it had to be Dagobah drain so I started CHYBC, to which he groaned, and he started Rebel Fleet. I got some systems out pretty quick with PoTF's and some ships. I left myself a but thin hoping he'd attack me with his ships. His drains were nullified for quite some time. My drains began taking a toll, and he had a massive amount of drains set-up, just waiting for 2 bg's to be occupied. Finally he jumped one of my ships with a few X-wings, I lost the ship and a few. On my turn I responded with the D*AS, a Dreadnaught, Denagr in P1, and BiHT and Monnoked, I got 2 houjix's, nice. Then I battled and he lost a lot. He eventually found landing claws and got the 2 bg's and hit me with some drains of 4, but it was too little too late. Full win by 29
Highlights: Space beatdown worked like a charm
Lowlights: If it weren't for CHYBC...
Game 3: My LS vs Mike Alt's DS HDADTJ/Beatdown This was a fast game, I revolved both his exec sites early and dropped Ori to cancel the Visage. He got down Kiffx, the Cantina, and Jundland wastes. I got down a ship at Kiffex and started draining him there. Then he put down Zuckuss and Igar on Tatooine, unable to find a Vader for some reason. I dropped Obi, Masta Luke, Boushh and EPP Han, battled, played COAS and JP, hit his guys and that was pretty much game. Full win by 38
Highlights: Uhm, winning :o)
Lowlights: too quick
Game 4: My DS vs Brendan McIntyre's Both Ops This was an intense game. I started ABCTTU on Coruscant, he started Bargaining table. I dropped Kashyyk and let him go. On his turn he dropped another site from his hand, and one from the deck, and Tantive at Coruscant, doh!, then moved it to Bothawuii. I knew that I was almost entirely screwed right now. So I looked carefully at my hand and thought. I activated 9 force, and smiled. In my hand I had IG in IG2000, and a Twilek, so I had an idea. I paid 3 for the Twilek and pulled First Strike from my deck and deployed it, then I paid 5 for IG, and 1 battle, he lost 1, I retrieved the ABCTTU, phew! I twilek'd for it again 2 turns later. I quickly got down 4 ISB agents, Ozzel and 2 ORS on my ships, and a 5-D6 on his planet. He flipped his obj but his drains were down to 1 and 1 thanx to Ithorians. I got out some more Systems and PotF and was slowly winning the drain race. He Sorry About The Mess'd 5-D6 and got in some good drains, I dropped another 5-d6 next turn. He got down a 3rd Ithorian and our drains were pretty close, but thanx to my retrieval of one a turn, I was winning. Finally he got rid of 5-D6 again, but I drained him and Limited Resourced him for the win. Full win by 13
Highlights: Getting my ABCTTU back
Lowlights: None
Game 5: My LS vs Brendan's DS Raltir Ops Trooper deck I dropped my Nudj's and Revolved his Raltir early. Then I put GL there so he couldn't flip. I drew some and waited, as did he. I dropped some 2/0 locations and waited. Finally he put down some guys, so I countered with some mains, I sensed most of his interrupts, but somehow Masta Luke with Anakins Stick got hit by an Imperial Blaster! Oh well, the entire tourney got a good laugh out of that. He brought down Vader with some more troops but they ended up getting hacked and slashed and he didn't really have the force to amount another assault. Full win by 36.
Highlights: Beating troopers, I love beating troopers :o)
Lowlights: None
Game 6: My DS vs Jeff Cisz's LS MWYHL Jedi Train, and Main Beatdown I have seen what his deck can do when it flips, so I knew I had to get in damage ASAP. And that's exactly what I did. I got down systems, ships, and PoTF as fast as possible. I monnoked him a few times and got a few doubles. His deck wasn't designed to do tons before flipping, so my quick damage was just too much for him. Full win by 29.
Highlights: Winning while playing with a new style, speed.
Lowlights: Not a lot of interaction
I ended up 1st, going 6-0, with the next highest being 4-2. I got 6 packs of reflections, nothing really great was pulled. Oh, well, it was still fun, until next time...
