Result: Win
77 - 48 - 1

Game 1

25 Points - Halfaug League Scenario 1
Zone in centre, can be controlled for one VP, four VP to win. Forests are destroyable, upon destruction 6 inch sprays spew forth, one for each opponent, inflicting an automatic damage point.

Midas tier 4 - War Hog, Dead War Hog, 2x Road Hog, 6x RaBo's, Bone Grinders (Max), Targ, 2x Slaughterhousers
pMorghoul - Bronzeback, 2x Gladiator, Sentry, Aptimus Marketh, 2x Paingivers (Max), Krea, Agoniser, Archidon


Recount:

Farrow deployment, lost dice roll and given first turn.


Skorne Deployment, one unit subbing in for the Paingivers.

Front rank Heavies from left to right: Gladiator, Sentry, Bronzeback, Gladiator.


Farrow turn one: Right Road Hog gets Advance Move directly forward. Warhog charges left forest and destroys it, takes a damage. Right Road Hog charges the other forest and kills it. Midas heals them, Grinder casts Massacre on one of the RaBo's, everything moves up.


Skorne turn one: Left Paingivers move back to escape Forest spray, Forest is then killed by the Sentry. Stuff moves up, Fury gets mismanaged. Admonition goes on the right Gladiator.


Farrow turn two: RaBo runs to engage the Bronzeback to stop potential Countercharges. Road Hogs both charge up and throw out flames, getting the Krea, Bronzeback, Sentry and hitting Morghoul down to three points. Targ used Ancillary attack for a few more flames. Slaughterhousers run up, Midas curses the left unit, charges the front guy, casts Bad Blood on the Sentry. RaBo's run up to get in the way.War Hog walks up in reserve.


Skorne turn two: Most of the fire remains, Morghoul transfers the flames on him. Left Gladiator kills blocking Rabo, Archidon gets various buffs then charges and kills the left Road Hog. Right Gladiator kills blocking RaBo, Bronzeback tramples over a Rabo, gets to the Road Hog and hurts it badly but fails to kill them. Paingivers on the right move up and remove stacks of Fury. Morghoul casts Admonition on himself and camps none.


Farrow turn three: RaBo in the middle of the Skorne frenzies, kills a paingiver. Midas drops Bad Blood off the Sentry. Road Hog passes threshold check, charges Morghoul, fails it due to the Bronzeback, boosts to hit and kills Morghoul.

Play error: Forgot the damaged Mind aspect on the Road Hog, though would've been easily fixed by Targ.

Had play continued:
1 - Midas gives Battle Lust to the front Slaughterhousers, casts a boosted/cursed Calamity on Archidon, camps two and moves to back edge of Zone.
2 - RaBo moves to the side of the Sentry out of the way of the Slaughterhousers.
3 - Slaughterhousers charge, three on Archidon, three on the right Gladiator (Both already damaged). Should kill them.
4 - Rear RaBo/War Hog move in front of Midas in case of the attempted assassination, riling as necessary (Forward Rabo/Road Hog will surely die or have Paingivers screw with their fury at a minimum).
5 - Left Slaughterhousers and Grinders move in to threaten the length of the zone as required.

Archidon/Gladiator will either be extremely hurt or dead, next Farrow turn would be pop feat to kill remaining Beasts or Morghoul if he has got into the mix. Archidon has all the Fury which the Slaughterhousers would remove from play and Morghoul has insufficient health to cut for more than two, so effectiveness should be muted.

Note: Morghoul could still leach from the Agonizer, though that isn't a terrible thing.

Slaughterhouser dice mat:

Archidon: 4's to hit (Calamity, Powerful Charge), 5 dice for damage -2 (Calamity 15 armour?). Each hit averaging 15 damage or so.
Gladiator: 4's to hit (Defence 12?), 5 dice of damage -8 (Armour 19). Each hit averaging 9 damage.

Archidon extremely likely to die, Gladiator might have lived with some heavy damage.

Aftermath: 9. Morghoul just didn't camp enough to stop the flamethrower assault. Almost lived the Slaughterhouser dream, but instead got it for the Road Hogs.
