Okay, it's been a few hours since it ended and I forgot to bring paper to take notes, so I can't guarantee a lot of detail or exact win/loss differential.

Game 1 LS vs Carlos' ISB Ops
Testing starts out slowly as he quickly deploys a few Hoth sites and ORS to flip and activate Decree (which he started with). Probably the maneuvers that cost me the game was coming to Hoth instead of drawing for my CC sites in order to occupy battlegrounds to satisfy CBHYBC. I went on a suicide run with EPP Luke after I flipped, it wound up costing me a bit more than I had hoped it would, and then I couldn't get any more characters out so that stopped my retrieval, and Obi couldn't drain for much in the Cantina because of a black-metal droid sitting across the room. His few drains eventually wore me out.
FL (-30)

Game two DS vs Katie's CC Clouds
I flip quickly, draining for 7 by turn 4 or 5. She gets a small force to Endor and a small force on CC, and plenty of Cloud Cars to the single cloud sector at Bespin. She tries to flip my objective back by deploying RLiR1 at Endor to take on my Lambda with 2/2 Imp, but Imperial Barrier stops that. Then the game is decided next turn when I managed to deploy Lateral Damage, Avenger, and a couple of 2/2 Imps. 15+ battle damage and 2 more turns of draining later, the game is over.
FW (+29)

Game three LS vs Brian's 3rd + 5th Marker start w/ Troopers
Testing goes well, and Obi and Orrimarko manage to beat up Tarkin and two Stormtrooper Cadets who were hanging out at the Y4: Jungle. He drains me for one off the 3rd marker most of the game. When CBHYBC hits the table after test 3, I deploy EPP Luke to his Echo Docking Bay, but then run over to avin to join Obi (Orrimaarko bit the dust when EPP Fett and some troopers fought him) when his troopers marched after him. We prepare to clash in the Y4:DB while Daughter works on test 5, but he draws up before I complete it.

FW (+17)
Game four DS vs Carlos' MWYHL test to 5
I got an awesome opening hand that had 3 of my 4 systems in it, and a ship. So I managed to get in a drain with the +2 bonus from Ominous Rumors before test 1 canceled the bonuses. I drew many, many cards looking for another Endor site, but to no avail. He missed test 2 and had to chase it for a few turns, then had to hike back across Dagobah for test 3. I fortified the Landing Platform with Walkers and pilots, and secured space after I managed to beatdown + Lat. Damage Spiral and a Corvette after he moved them both to my Kessel without reading the GT (Harc Seff + Spiral PP + Corvette PP = 5 ability). I got out my other system, and was draining him at each system for 1, Endor for 2, and Landing Platform for 1. As Daughter was ready to attempt test 5, he debated for a minute and then decided to deploy Melas instead of EPP Han to the Landing Platform. He then tried to play On the Edge, which I pointed out only targets Rebels. And that was his undoing, since Melas had nowhere to go and was facing down 2 AT-ATs with forfeit fodder.
FW (+15)

My total for the day was something like 6(+32), putting me in third! Didn't pull that anything great in my prize support, just some more stuff that will head to my trade binder (Sandcrawler, yay). Good placing for me, good games, and I look forward to the next one, because by then ECC will be out and Fett in Slave One can boost my Dark deck. :)
