Game 410 - Gorten1 (Irregulars) vs Goreshade1 (Black Industries) - Shorty
King of the Hill

League Round 3 match and it's....the hell are these zones doing?!
The new SR has landed, adding some new wonk scenarios (yay!) and more objectives to choose from.
One is anti Pushing.

Matchup wise, it's into Goreshade1 with a bunch of expensive Jacks, Overlords, various support models.

Ultimately it's a pretty happy matchup for me, oddities of scenario aside. Lamentation isn't great, but eh, 14 inch control means he's in feat range.

Galleon ends up toeing the centre zone with a defensive Rock Wall placed to stop Goreshade dropping Banes in to kill it. Pressgangers split up, Reds suicide forward in the centre while a spray bunny, Smurf unit and Hawk push up on the right.

Cryx easily score their flanking rectangle, however the murder standoff of Galleon and the Cryx Jacks plus the mans jam means they don't advance super hard.

Top of three I clear off the right side and sadly leave the Cryx objective on one box, halfway through I realise Gorten has to move behind the Galleon making future feat turns a little awkward. A bunny has to be sacrificed to contest the left zone. I score the right/centre zones and flags, up 3-1.

Cryx do reply by feating, getting some damage about the place and killing Alexia. Sadness. Goreshade ends up camping his stack and throwing his arms open daring me to kill him, alas his jacks prove surprisingly feeble and leave the contesting bunny on one box. A Cryx Arcnode cops a freestrike to just get to contest my right zone.

Top of three I kill said Arcnode, easily feat to clear the zone.

Galleon placement was better, so Gorten got teleported. Even with the stealthy jacks the guns had mild value. Concerned about list compression on the board given how a scenario like this one goes, missing those Kayazy Eliminators pretty hard.


One more round int he league, probably some Haley3 shenanigans.
