Andrew Wise's Bespin and Beyond Report - March 6th, 1999

Date: March 6, 1999
Location: Past, Present, Future Comic Store

Today was March the 6th, 1999. I went to a tourney(BnB) in a local comic book store Past Present Future. It was "barely" sanctioned, there was a person who just came to lose, funny thing. I was bringing a light bothan ops deck w/ tessek and the AC to boost my drains, and for dark i started coruscant, ABCTTU/Decree, then went from there to skrillings beatdown. I knew my light was going to go undefeated, but the dark i wasn't too sure about.

First Game Dark against Irma's B-wing HB
I start Coruscant, Decree, he s-foils. I draw a turn, deploy a dreadnaught at coruscant, deploy AC. He deploys Coruscant, saves force. I gather a dreadnaughts i think it was and chall bekan. Well next turn, lock s-foils deploys 5 b-wings power 20 + destiny, i lose everything plus 10, i figure i'm dead. I go a while killing one fd, while taking 1. Aventually i get boba w/ blaster, jabba, and bossk n bus @ coruscant draw 3 destiny, lose the rest from there.

Highlights: Getting 3 destinies
Lowlights: Losing
0(-23)

2nd game, light against newbie
Nothing exciting happens
Win by 53
2(+30)

3rd Game, light against tommy's Dark Dealing Troopers
I thought i had this game in the bag, so i was a little overconfident. I start bargaining table. I draw 2 turns, on third flip. He gets DD going pretty quickly, luckily/unluckily i managed to cancel DD but had to leave 2 characters w/o destiny. Next turn he made me pay by i think 15. It didn't look good from there. I got 4 sites going, with no opposition, he plays a mid-game ornament for 10, and retrieves his Bespin Occupation which i canceled earlier, and a DD. He gets DD set up 3, 4 turns later and gets a big enough drain to get me down to one, until i fd out.

Win by 1
4(+31)

Last game, dark against Tommy's CC Celebration/Clouds
This game was going to be easy for me, he deployed characters, so i knew i would have this one in the bag. I get ABCTTU out on bespin, put 2 dreadnaughts there, quickly. I got AC with pote quite early, just waiting for characters. He deploys two devanorians, i save 2 turns. Then comes the beatdown, Jabba, 4 skrillings, niado ..., and boba fett. I had power 42 + destiny, so that pretty much killed his chances, i had the game from that point.

Win by 30 or so.
6(+69)
