Game 84 - Win - Dr Arkadius vs Kaelyssa

Result: Win
57 - 27 - 0


Arkadius (Tier 4) - 3x Warhogs, Roadhog, 4x Razor Boars, Targ, Brigands (Max), Bone Grinders (Min), Slaughterhousers
Kaelyssa - Griffon (Light, reach, fast), Hydra (Heavy, Chain attack, Battery), Phoenix (Heavy, combust aura), Other Heavy (Shield, Gun?), Mage Hunter Strike Force + Attachment, 2x Mage Hunters, pEiyrss, Stormfall Archers, Arcanist, Sniper


Summary: Lost Die Roll, opponent chose table side, I went first.

All Big Hogs in the centre, Road Hog on the right end of the line. Targ and RaBo's on the left, a forest between them and the Big Hogs. Brigands on the right, Slaughters, Arkadius and Grinders behind the forest/Big Hogs.

Against RaBo's was the MHSF, Mage Hunter SOlo's and Eiryss on the far right, everything else in the centre.

Opening turns are countering advances, RaBo's run far up the left to threaten the MHSF, Targ behind hiding in the forest. War Hogs ran up in typical formation, favouring the left side of the Board. Road Hog heads off to the right. Arkadius gets distance from Grinders, casts Aggresion and Forced Evo on the front War Hog. Other units move up behind.

MHSF shoot the RaBo's, damage a pair of them severely. Everything moves up. Weirdly the PHoenix plods into the forest. Mage Hunter solos and Eiryss move up.

Left flag dissapears.

Rabo's on the left mainly frenzy, charging into the MHSF.
Arkadius feats, the Road Hog heads off toward Eiryss. Warhogs all charge up, RaBo's attack some MHSF. Arkadius then charges the back Warhog to advance up, sits on six fury. Roadhog charges Eiryss, misses. Warhogs charge in, one badly messes up a Jack, another casts Overtake and kills a MHSFer, last one uses Overtake but fails to get anywhere meaningful. Infantry advance in a block around Arkadius.

MHSF and RaBo's lock in for the rest of the game. One Warhog goes down, eventually the Road Hog gets killed by a Mage Hunter solo. Piece trades end as per below, the War Hogs kill the centre heavies and get to Kaelyssa, hitting and killing her.









Performance: 5/10. Didn't do poorly, but should have lost. Arkadius got way to close, Kaelyssa realistically has a threat zone of death on the Doctor unless he has six fury on him, not counting other things attacking him.


Road Hog - NOT A FLANKER DAMMIT. Brigands should have headed toward Eiryss/Solo's, Road Hog should have been reaching up to set Kaelyssa and the Jacks on fire, or purging out at the MHSF. Should have been moved with the redeploy Tier benefit.


War Hog - Solid as always. Always needs to boost to hit casters that aren't knocked down or Crippling Grasped.



RaBo's - Worked well, bonus speed and feat makes them awesome. Held up and killed half of the MHSF, made their points tactically and strategically.



Brigands - Hog Wild really isn't worth more than fearless + tough.


Slaughterhousers - Didn't get to do too much this time around. The potential is there.


Bone Grinders - Proved their worth, solely for several applications of increased spell range.
