So Dash-Corran came up against the guy from Thursday who was interested in using theme lists again.

He brought Hera in the Ghost with Intelligence Agent, title, Autoblaster, Accuracy Corrector and Nien Nunb with Sabine, Sabine's Masterpiece, Veteran Instincts, Rey (OK that one hurts the theme), and Captain Rex.

Once all our ships came together, which I managed to rush in a way that the Ghost had to go through debris, I wasted Rex before he had the chance to shoot. Through a few turns engagement, I managed to put a fair bit of damage into Hera, but Corran I overcommited, and he took a damage from Sabine before dying to a double tap Autoblaster from the Ghost. When Zeb emerged, he had to go through debris, meaning he was out of the game for a while while he reengaged (and took some damage on the way out), but Sabine, having given Dash the initiative, and frequently turtling with an evade and a focus token, was bothering Dash a fair bit who was struggling to punch through. I did kill Zeb when he re-emerged (which made him the second ship of his to die without firing a shot), and I managed to kill Sabine with only a single hull left.

Next game was the joke list where the three T-70s talon rolled all the time. And I do mean all the time. If they could talon roll, they did. He was running Asajj though so it was a tad difficult to pull off sometimes, and I'd have to do a green in order to do a talon roll the next turn, but my opponent and the onlookers were amused (and my opponent thought that since he was really trying to practice with his ships that it wasn't too bad). I even surprised my opponent a couple times by talon rolling! Albeit not in the direction he expected. He beat me because I was more concerned with talon rolling than getting arc on anything, but I did get Asajj down to half points and remove Unkar from the board.

Last game of the day we decided to have a three way, with the 4 Epsilon-Stridan list from the other day reappearing and the fourth list being a Dash with Outrider, Recon Specialist, Push the Limit, Mangler Cannon with Ahsoka in a Captured TIE, with Veteran Instincts, Sabine's Masterpiece, and Jan Ors  and Jake Farrell with PTL, Juke, and A-Wing Test Pilot against my two Saber Squadrons with 3 crack TIE Fighters.

Here both enemy squads engaged facing me. Dash had squeezed in behind me too. I did manage to remove a Huxed TIE, but lost a TIE Fighter in return. Figuring the Rebel player needed to hurt a tad more, I kinda swung in my forces towards the board edge where his ships would go down, but things went nightmarish there, I misjudged the distance and a TIE Fighter was blocked on the Koigran and forced to flee (we had a ton of space so I kept moving him well after he was off the board edge) and I lost my TIE/fo. Once of my Saber Squadron Pilots was also off the table edge with a corner just barely off, but they said in the interest for a better game they'd let me keep him. There were a lot of shots at Dash but he avoided a good many of them, and Jake got behind the Shuttle and was terrorising it. The store was closing though, so we decided to have one last turn. Ahsoka revealed herself and took a shot, but she and Dash failed to remove anything. A Saber Squadron Pilot shot at Ahsoka and managed to put her down to one hull, and the other Saber Squadron pilot shot at Dash and managed to reduce him down to one hull. It meant two Epsilons had the chance to remove both Ashoka and Dash from the board, and while Dash bit the dust, Ahsoka lived.

3 way battles are tons of fun though!
