Re: Bespin Super Weekend - July 16th and 17th*
A few highlights (or low-lights depending on your point of view):
Lightside:
- At the start of every game, hearing some variant of: “Profit? Profit? Hmmm...ok”.
- Then hearing: Endor? Endor? YES!!
- Hearing: “Home One in Profit?” YES!!!
- IG-88 w/Gun capturing Chewie and holding his hands for most of the game. Dangit Charlie! (nice play)
- Home One blowing up Falleen’s Fist (with before-mendioned IG & Chewie aboard!)... And then Charlie playing a second fist… Dangit Charlie!
- Fallen Portals at the Back Door!...and missing! Dangit again!
- Really fun game against Melody. Sorry...still didn’t give you that chance for Lightsaber Combat!
Darkside:
- Vs Drew: My deck has 3 Dookus & 3 Mauls. I had to draw my entire force pile 2 turns in a row trying to get one of them...Angst! When I finally got him though, I dropped Maul + Droids + Jango and overflowed Jedi Luke for 9 force! Sadly, I coudln’t keep the damage flowing consistently that game. That’s the first time I’ve seem Diplo working hard on the flip side. Fun game!
- Sam and I had quite the grinder: My Invasion vs his senate. I think I drained for 4 at the Throne Room almost the entire game. Late game: Time is called We both have ~14 force left. I have 12 force. Dooku in hand. He has H1 Naboo (I’m not flipped) + HCF at Chandrilla. He has a Leia sitting alone at a site. I have to decide: try to clear Leia so he can’t satisfy Coward anymore OR or drain for 6 force and pull a Droid off of Droid Racks. I choose the former. (because I’m an idiot and forgot he had First Strike! CURSES!!!). His turn, he drains and time is up. I have 9 in my life force. He has 9 in life force…. Oh geeeze….my first ever timed game and we’re tied.. We count lost piles… Sam: 24. Me: 32 Dangit! Had I played Dooku and drawn a 3+, I would have won. Oh well..hindsight. That was a great game though. Lots of fun!
Ha ha ha. What a great time.
Probably a lot of other highlights there too. Overall, I went 3 and 3, so I was happy. I think that was the most fun I’ve had in a tournament in a long time. I'm going to post my Profit deck in the deck discussion tonight. I really think that deck has a lot of promise (maybe just a new guy at the helm). Hopefully at least I've shown it's respectable.
Everybody I played against really seemed to be there for fun and to enjoy the game, which makes everything that much more enjoyable. I met a few more new guys that I hadn't met before too. Bespin (true story, my browser just tried to auto-correct that to 'bedpan') is such a great region with so many great people. Can't ask for a better crowd!
Thanks again guys for a great tournament. Hope to see everyone again next season!

I saw one guy playing flip-falcon but I think that was it. Saw some Reys, Kylo, and at least one Finalizer. A couple senate decks with the new stuff.cooleo1c wrote:Anyone play Jakku stuff?

I played Old Allies for LS and Jakku CRv Troopers for DS.cooleo1c wrote:Anyone play Jakku stuff?
OA went 0-3 though I lost to Tat CRv Space and TTO by less than 5.
Troopers went 2-1. Won against Senate (fun game during a bye) and LS Combat and lost to TRM.
Thanks to Walseth for another great tournament! I wish I could come back today for States too. Good luck to all the players today and those who are going to Worlds.

14 players, Jake and Bryan both finished 5-1. Bryan agreed to give Jake the title since the same thing happened at ND States and Jake gave Bryan the title that time.hyvee_doughboy wrote:How did States turn out?
Hopefully someone has the full command cards for both events and will post them soon.
