I finally got to try out my series 2 and 3 figures with a friend of mine. I get a kick out of reading other people's battles, so I thought I would share mine. These are all 100 pt battles.
Round 1:
The Teams
Jabba and S2 Boba (Hammerhead in backup) vs. S3 Starter Luke, Antilles, R2 and a bunch of troopers.
The Highlights
Despite playing on a long dining table Boba took out Luke on the first shot.
R2 kept coming up with ones and twos providing no help at all.
Jabba's marbles are completely ridiculous flying all over the room which leads to several minutes of lost playing time trying to recover them all.
I thought that that the frustration trying to take down the series 1 masters had been dealt with given the new designs, but no. Despite taking a solid direct shot, Jabba's lamp stayed put. The other annoying thing about Jabba is the reload. Too time consuming trying to shove the marbles in his head round after round.
Despite my numbers, my launchers proved ineffective against Jabba and Boba was also tough to take down in his shooting position. Had Luke been able to fire a single shot maybe this would have been different.
Final Observation
Jabba looks great on the shelf, but will rarely be played with.
Round 2:
The Teams
Obi-wan force blast, Tion Medon, Utapau Warrior, Jedi Knight, Medic vs. Tuskan Warlord, 2 snipers, 5 raiders.
The Highlights
Sniper took out Tion right away. Using a cluster formation I tried sending the raiders up the middle losing two on the way. I also lost the warrior right away with no special coming up.
Once my raiders made it to his end they caused good havoc taking down the jedi knight and obi wan.
The only problem was the medic playing keep away long enough to bring obi back.
In the end I sent one raider at the medic taking it down and one at obi. My raider got close to obi without being able to knock him down, however. Obi tried shooting at too close of range and the force blast was a dud enabling me to finish him off for the win.
Final Observation
I thought the jedi team had good specials that would help bring jedis back, but it never worked out. A guarded medic seems to be a more reliable way to bring someone back.
Also, I love the fierce looking team of Tuskans. Too bad the warlord isn’t a launcher instead of a seemingly ineffectual cattle prod.
Round 3:
The Teams
Vader 16 and 6 troopers vs. S1 Grievous, Destroyer Droid, S2 Bodyguard, 2 battle droids
The Highlights
The battle quickly devolved into two separate battles. 1. Vader vs. Grievous and the Destroyer Droid. 2. All the troopers going at it.
Vader keeps popping up, but so does my destroyer droid. Vader finally takes Grievous down, but I brought in 2 more battle droids. My troopers win the war of attrition until it comes down to Vader and one battle droid. One misfire later and all I have is a pile of scrap.
Final Observation
The destroyer droid is my new favorite piece. Two for one attack and a rescue special that comes up enough of the time.
Next Time:
An empire squad with R2-Q5, the rebel stormtrooper team, the jawas, bounty hunters, clone war jedi team, and the gunship.
Too many options, so little time!
Thanks for reading.

Nice comeback! Good job all of you. This battle wasn't really recent, but it was good! 3 way battle Mine: Destroyer, Grievous Sabers, Padme, and Medic Other: Jango, Mace Force, Bossk Boba back- up Other: Arc, Wookie Commando, Clone Commander (Yellow), clone troopers thats what I can remember from all of the teams Anyway, Grievous kept back to make sure Destroyer didn't die, Destroyer came up white, Padme fell black , Clone Commander, died white, Jango down Black ;D, then Bossk, Arc, Destroyer, Grievous (black, darn, could have gotten rid of Mace), clone troopers died leaving only my Medic, other persons Wookie Commando, and other person's Mace. Medic went on one and I brought back Destroyer. Destroyer and Commando teamed up against Mace died. Then Commando Vs. Destroyer, It was their shot and hit but no effect happened, then Destroyer shot and nothing, then commando shot VERY CLOSE and hit, but bounced off ( ) and then I fired one shot, and bounced off of Commando, then my other one sent it down! I love my Medic.

I'm playing myself in attacktix right now (sad, I know) and I decided to write up one of these.
ROUND ONE
TEAMS
Team 1: Leia, Luke, Han as Stormtrooper, Old Ben, C-3P0, R2-D2, and Chewie, with Han Solo in back-ups. (All S3 except R2 and Luke)
Team 2: S3 Striker Vader, Stormtrooper x2, Black imperial officer x3, grey imperial officer, sandtrooper, death star gunner, TIE pilot x2, R2-Q5.
HIGHLIGHTS
-Leia takes out Vader on first shot! Sadly, his special is white, so he stands back up and TIE pilot goes to the defeated area. -Old Ben easily knocks out the three black imperial officers. -Old Ben made grey "big brother" imperial officer angry, so Obi- Wan falls, thus making a TIE pilot move back 6 tix. -Death Star Gunner hits down C-3P0, but he is WHITE! Looks like the rebels get two straight turns. -The rebels take out several figures, but not as many as hoped. Luke and Chewie find themselves surrounded by imperials. -Imperial Officer has his gun to Luke's head, but when he fires Luke doesn't fall! He only moved back a few ticks. -Sadly, Chewie doesn't have the same luck as Luke. He falls right before the Death Star Gunner. -Luke takes down the Death Star Gunner, Han as Stormtrooper kills the imperial officer, and Leia finishes it all up by taking down Vader.
MVP OF GAME
Leia. She gave Han as Stormtrooper extra attacks, shot down Vader twice, killed several others, and wasn't afraid to charge straight into battle.
OVERALL
I suppose quality is better than quanity...
ROUND TWO
TEAMS
Team 1: Luke force blast, Captain Antillies, and 3 Rebel Troopers.
Team 2: Striker Vader, Sandtrooper, Death Star Gunnder, and stormtrooper.
HIGHLIGHTS
-Not much happens the first five turns, just a lot of moving around. -Finally, Vader comes in and takes down 2 rebel troopers. -The Captain Antillies shoots death star gunner. -Sandtrooper kills the last rebel trooper and Captain Antillies. -Luke kills Vader. -And the Sandtrooper knocks down Luke from about 10 tix.
MVP OF GAME
Sandtrooper. He killed 3/5 of the team and did it with a smile on his face.
OVERALL
Rebel Troopers need to practice their aim. No wonder they lost to the stormtroopers in Episode IV...
ROUND 3
TEAMS
Team 1: Vader, sandtrooper, death star gunner, stormtrooper. (defending champions from above game)
Team 2: Tuskin raider x3, tuskin sniper, Jawa Warlord, and Boba Fett.
HIGHLIGHTS
-Death Star Gunner instantly takes out Jawa Warlord. -Vader hits down two tuskin raiders. -Tuskin sniper, angry at Vader for killing his buddies, shoots down the Dark Lord of the Sith. -Sandtrooper hits down Boba Fett while stomtrooper kills the last tuskin raider. -Tuskin sniper hits down the death star gunner, and he is white. I guess the sniper can't kill my stormtrooper his next turn... -Tuskin sniper takes out the sandtrooper, leaving the stormtrooper, shaking in his boots. -Stormtrooper kills the tuskin sniper! But wait, his base is white. I get to bring a tuskin back into play. It's not over yet... -The tuskin raider ticks up to the stormtrooper...but wait! He isn't close enough to attack. Just one inch away... -And the stormtrooper finishes it up.
MVP OF GAME
Stormtrooper. The underdog pf the game actually came up and won it for all. Nice one, stormtrooper!
OVERALL
My empire team seems pretty good... but can they match the Luke/Han as stormtrooper rebel team? We have to wait for that one, folks...

Sounds like great battles. I just recently played AWOL 2 games. First Game: My Sith and Empire vs. AWOL's Wookies and Jedi. Maul had the greatest impact taking out Yoda with his special. Vader #16 took out 2 in 1 swing, as did Sidious. It was very close. It came down to my Sidious and his Wookie scout. He had 1 shot to make before Sidious would have cut him in 2. And AWOL came thru with his shooting skills and took out Sidious. Very close fight. SITH ROCKS despite the loss (very close though). Second Game: My rebel team vs. AWOL's Empire. The rebels demolished the Empire. Wasn't even close. Good try AWOL, but I just kicked your butt. ;D Final thoughts: I see your point about Jabba, Mandalore. Don't give up on him right away. You just have to play him more. Teams I consistently win with: Droid, Rebels.

Is everyone ready for the final battle? Well...I am. TEAMS Team 1: Darth Vader, sandtrooper, death star gunner, stormtrooper. (2-time champions) Team 2: Luke and Han as Stormtrooper, S3 Leia, S3 Chewie, C-3PO HIGHLIGHTS -Death Star Gunner takes down Leia. No more free attacks for Han and Luke... -Luke and Han both go down. -Chewie is shot, then C-3PO is taken down by Vader. MVP OF GAME Darth Vader. He took down most of the opponents figures and was shot several times, but never went down. OVERALL How the heck is this empire team keep winning, even against the REBEL team. I don't get it...

Just had a battle tonight........ 100 pt. game Me: Shaak Ti, Agen Kolar, Mace Windu (S2 Starter Version), and Basic Jedi Knight. Friend: Bossk(S2), Boba Fett (S2), Agen Kolar, and Kit Fisto. Battle: Two turns for each of us and nothing really happened until his Boba gunned down my Agen (sadly Agen was white and there was nobody dead). Then my Mace came and hit Boba Fett and knocked him down(black). Then his Agen knocked down Mace, he was white and I brought back Agen. Then on his second attack he killed my basic Jedi Knight(black). My turn went by and I killed no one. Then it was his turn, he killed my Shaak Ti with Kit Fisto(Sadly Black or I could have brought my Golden KAM)! He missed Agen though. So far my friend has Bossk, Agen Kolar, and Kit Fisto Left. I have only a Agen. My turn, I move up to the other Agen, swung, somehow went over his head. His Agen killed my Agen, but my Agen was White. I brought back Shaak Ti. My Turn. I shoot Bossk and he falls black. His Turn, he moves away. My Turn, I shoot down his Agen (it was white, but he didn't have Warriors Dead). His Turn, he moves away again! My Turn, I shoot, Target, it kills Kit Fisto, I Win! I really thought I was going to lose this game. MVP of the game, It IS SO SHAAK TI!!!!![/b
Knocked down three figures in a row, awesome man, awesome.
Oh, next time when my two time champion 220pt. Wookie, Agen, and Jedi Knight team plays, I'll try to tell you about it!

The other annoying thing about Jabba is the reload. Too time consuming trying to shove the marbles in his head round after round. I wonder if your Jabba isn't a bit defective. I only bring this up because mine has targets that work perfectly.. MUCH better than the AT-RT or Drop-ship. Whether hit from a distant shooter or close striker, the targets always "trip" when hit. Also, if you can find a way to play on the floor when using Jabba (either a hard floor surface or a 3 x 3 piece of cardboard on top of carpet, etc), it cuts WAY down on the frustration with the balls (they don't bounce off of a table & roll all over.. but instead lose power fairly quickly after hitting the carpet or the outstretched leg of your opponent sitting behind his team, etc). I guess I am quite pleased with Jabba.. & hope more are just like him (at least, the one I have anyway). He's really the only mega that I actually consider playing with from time to time.
