Game 90 - Win - Arkadius vs pKrueger

Results:Win
60 - 29 - 1

35 Point Incursion

Arkadius (Tier 4) - 3x Warhogs, 4x Razor Boars, Targ, Brigands (Max), Bone Grinders (Min)
pKrueger - Gnarlhorn Satyr, Woldwarden, Gorax, Woldwatcher, Woldwyrd, 2x Warwolf, Lord of the Feast, Shifting Stones


Summary:

I lose the die roll, go first. Lord of the Feast on the far left.

 My opening move in.

 

Feated to advance up, Rabo's positioned to kill Lord of the Feast and a stone and ding the Gorax. Brigands killed another stone, failed to do much to the Wardogs. Warhogs then charged, removing a blocking stone, the Woldwatcher and the Satyr.

 Krueger attempts assassination, white points are his feat. Woldwarden throws Warhog clear, WoldWatcher moves up and shoots up Arkadius, who tranfers it away, likewise to lightning attacks from Krueger.

Krueger then gets Crippling Grasped, Forced Evo Warhog chews through his two transfers then hits and kills.



Performance: 9/10.

Game 89 - Loss - Arkadius vs pVayl

Results: Loss
59 - 29 - 1

50 Point Fire Support (2 Neutral flags, one aligned Objective each)

Arkadius (Tier 4) - 3x Warhogs, Roadhog, 4x Razor Boars, Targ, Brigands (Max), Bone Grinders (Min), Slaughterhousers
pVayl - Shredder, Scythean, Ravagore, Typhon, Seraph, Raptors (Max), Spell Martyr, 2x Forsaken


Summary:

 Deployment, that's the Raptors on the right. RaBo's are split up into 3/1.

 Forced Evo went on the rightmost Warhog.

 

Vayl feated, killed two centre Warhogs then ll the beat repelled back, the Shredder ran in to block the last Warhog. Road Hog went for Typhon, wasn't ever going to do enough to kill though. RaBo's go nuts on Seraph, leave it on two hit points.

 Road Hog is moved by Rampage spell out of the way. Raptors shoot Arkadius, who is finished off by Typhon moving up and spraying away.

Performance: 5/10. Was at a loss of what to do, but don't see alternatives at this point. Possibly Brigands should have just flat out been skirmished in front of the Hogs, Heavies including Road Hog all moved to the left of the centre obstruction.

Game 88 - Timed Out - Arkadius vs Bart

 Result: Timed Out
59 - 28 - 1

50 Point Destruction


Arkadius (Tier 4) - 3x Warhogs, Roadhog, 4x Razor Boars, Targ, Brigands (Max), Bone Grinders (Min), Slaughterhousers
Bart - Galleon, Vanguard, Wrongeye/Snapjaw + Bullsnapper, Aiyana + Holt, Nyss (Max), 2x Kayazy Eliminators


Summary:

Deployment, nothing fancy.

After Turn 1 -  Everything moves up

After Turn 2 -  Bart feats, delaying the alpha strike. Roadhog does some burning, gets Aiyana. Brigands get locked in by one of the Kayazy pairs after being shot up by the Nyss. Snapjaw and Eliminators get stuck into RaBo's.

 After Turn 3 - One Warhog gets dragged in by the Galleon, Roadhog kills a bunch of Nyss. Feat used to cycle Warhog Fury and get one in charge range. Spiny Growth damages all the hogs, though they get healed to.

After Turn 4 -  Two Warhogs get killed by Galleon, which is in turn brought down by a Slaughterhouser. Everything else stays relatively static, Bone grinders get placed sacrificially to stop Vanguard getting to the Doc.

Rules error - Slaughterhousers remove from play, wreck marker shouldn't be there.

  Midway Turn 5 - Time out before my turn, Roadhog killed by a lucky Nyss, Bart cowering in far corner.

Planned actions at the time: Warhog runs over Linear obstacle to engage Vanguard and a Nyss, Riles for another 3 Fury. Arkadius moves up, hits Snapjaw with a Crippling Grasp from max range, set to Dominate zone, casts Forced Evo on Warhog, maltreats it for a fury. Targ moves to block a charge from the Nyss on Arkadius, Ancillary attacks on Warhog. Slaughterhousers do a charge action, two into the Bullsnapper over the non-existent Wreck marker, two into Holt. Brigands probably fail to kill Kayazy.

Odds are Vanguard doesn't do much, I'll lose a Brigand and the pair of Slaughterhousers that go after Holt. Bart probably has to charge in to deal witht he Warhog, if not I'll probably have it on scenario, otherwise it depends on if I lose the Warhog or not.

Performance: 8/10. Overall I think I had it. Bart Galleon is horrific to deal with, realistically needed to devote a warhog and possibly Primal shocks to kill Wrongeye earlier.

Game 87 - Loss - Arkadius vs Rasheth

Result: Loss
59 - 28 - 0


50 Point Destruction


Arkadius (Tier 4) - 3x Warhogs, Roadhog, 4x Razor Boars, Targ, Brigands (Max), Bone Grinders (Min), Slaughterhousers
Rasheth - 2x Archidons, Gladiator?, Cyclop Shaman, Gatormen Posse (Max), Nihilators (Max), Paingivers, Taskmaster, Aptimus Marketh


Summary:

 Deployment - As above, beast face off in the centre, Nihlators are to the left against the Brigands, Gatormen are on the right against the Slaughterhouses and RaBo's. Rasheth is Proxied as a Legion beast with the snow base.

 After Turn 1 - Everything advances, Warhogs set up for the movement advance. Archidon threat range is underestimated, Hogs should be further from them (12?)

 After Turn 2 - Disastrous. Archidons each got a half a bunch of buffs including Sprint, Rasheth feated. Resulting Archodin attacks killed the left Warhog and the Roadhog. RaBo's got stuck into the Gatormen, doing not a great deal. Brigands kill a bunch of Nihlators. Warhogs killed one Archidon.

 After Turn 3 - All beasts dead, sad face. Concede.


Performance: 5/10. Underestimated threat range of Archidons and Posse. The Posse wasn't so bad, but against this set up the feat isn't really there for the usual movement shenanigans, it's Fury management.

The Brigands should have run and spread out, forming a an obstacle to the Archidon charges in front of the Heavy Hogs, Slaughterhousers should have had room to run tot he left of the ruin. RaBo's possibly would have been more useful as an alpha strike against the Nihilators, or at least tieing them up allowing more Brigand shots.
