we get there and get started. 3 representatives of team BBQ BACON are in attendance, and are feeling fairly confident. pairings are announced and we play.
1. LS vs Adam Huber SYCFA manipulator
great, game 1 and I got to play pubes. well I play carefully since i’ playing HBX and he has like 4 monnoks. I start by dropping ships early and draining for 1 here and there. I get a uc spy down to his site where mara is. We fight a few times in space, he loses his ships but doesn’t get beat down too bad. He sets up search and destroy, and it starts to hurt. I flip to slow his drains and boost mine. I get down to like 10 cards and i think i’m dead, cause i have out 11 xwings and cant find all wings or pay for secret plans. so I have to spread out and drain. By this time search and destroy is really hurting me so I drop boussh to the forest on yavin and stop that. without search, he cant damage me enough.
FW 2(+10)
2. DS vs Paul Romonaski HB/CC celebration/Ships ’n guns
well paul’s deck is similar to the QMC deck in the top 10 here but he uses hb so he doesnt need to flip to get good cc drains. I start my setup and get out piett, merrejik and systems fast. I start to drain and he brings some stuff to fight. the falcon loaded with guys takes down a star destroyer and a guy. he loses his blue 5 off the top and thats big so now he cant shoot up my capitals. I get some big drains going and he cant seem to find celebration. he chases me around some but he cant find order to engage either, so I just run and drain. late-game he brings jedi luke and his stick, but igar + tempest 1 +vader have something to say about that. from there, I drained him out.
FW 4(+20)
3. LS vs John Nelson AOBS/bounty hunters and stuff
well he starts any methods nesecarry and grabs ig w/stickj and the jp dungeon. i start off dropping x-wings here and there and start doing my little drains for 1 at a few systems. he has trouble finding a site so eventually he puts potf on the cc site where xizor is, and flips. he’s only covering 2 bg’s though, so honor slows his objective. he brings something real goofy like mabey zuckuss piloting the space cruiser to like yavin 4 or something. i drop some ships and battle. he gets beaten pretty bad, then I drop legendary starfighter on the falcon i think so he’s hurting. I run out of xwings for rebel fleet, so i flip to cancel drains. I do an all wings report in for my entire lost pile. There isn’t much he can do, he setup way too slow to stop me.
FW 6(+52)
4. DS vs John Nelson WYS / close air support
Well he’s running random z-95’s and close air support and rfc’s on tatooine. it’s a deck that is becoming real popular in our area right now. I start my setup and by turn 3 have a solid drain of 4 at tatoine. he brings some ships here and there to fight, but they are no match for me. u3p0 visits the catina and just chills there the whole game. i don’t attack at the tat db because he has some goofy explosive charge that will kill my guys if i win a battle there. so i just eat his drans of 1 here and there while i drain like mad in space. final turn he has spread really thin and has talon karrde alone at catina. so i bring vader and tarkin and beat talon up and thats game.
FW 8(+73)
well the tourney was a success for everyone. prizes were good with everyone gwtting atleast 1 ds2 pack. the winner got 4 + a touney foil. 2nd and 3rd place got a few packs each. everyone seemed to enjoy it.

3. Paul Romonaski
4. Adam huber
5. Edwin ?
