Two Fronts - Two aligned zones/objectives
eIrusk - Behemoth, 2x Max BDIFP + UA's, 2x IFP Kovniks, pAlexia + Risen, Aiyana + Holt, Silly Wishnailer, Great Bears
Khador deployment, they won the roll and picked first.
Farrow deployment with advance moves.
Khador and Farrow turn 1:Everything runs into position, Irusk puts Artifice to get the left unit of BDIFP into the forest. Alexia sent a Thrall up, who was destroyed by a Road Hog flamethrower.
Khador turn 2: No Pic. Irusk Artificed of Deviation on the Objective, Battle Lusted the Great Bears, camps zero. Alexia moves up. Right most Pike unit uses mini-feat and Shield March to hold up in the zone.
Farrow turn 2: Midas Curses BDIFP on the right, casts Calamity on them. Bone Grinders put Massacre on the Road Hog, who charges an IFP, spray kills Aiyanna but boosted shot misses Irusk. Holt fails his command check. RaBo charges Alexia, boosts to hit, misses. War Hog get Massacre, charges Kolsk, tough stops the Massacre move. Secondary attack kill him. Big mob of Farrow models run around.
Khador turn 3: Holt fails to rally. Black dragons charge War Hog/Midas, miss the Warlock but hurt the Beast for four points. Great Bears move over to Midas, one dies to the RaBo free strike. Risen charge objective, do seven points. Alexia kills RaBo. Irusk feats, much sadness, Khador go to 2 CP.
Farrow turn 3: No Pic. Calamity upkept, Midas feats, most of BDIFP on the right killed, Behemoth knocked down and put on seven health all systems nominal by the War Hog. Wasted one Road Hog blast trying to get Irusk, should have shot at the Risen.
Khador turn 4: Alexia kills Objective, left BDIFP try to put down Slaughterhousers but one gets missed twice to stay in the zone. Irusk charges out to the Zone, Behemoth wrecks face killing a resurrected Road Hog and the living War Hog.
Khador now on 3 CP. Behemoth replaced by Green marker.
Farrow turn 4: War Hog kills one of the few remaining right IFP. Slaughterhosuers charge and finish off Behemoth. Midas moves up, curses, Calamities and Hexblasts Irusk. Alexia killed by a RaBo fully boosting. Two units of Bone Grinders Arcane Bolt Irusk for a few damage each. Road Hog charges to Irusk, boosted Assault shot hits and kills.
Player Grading
Time Management: 9, well ahead on clock (20 minutes to 5), only had to go in tank occasionally.
Scenario Awareness: 5, did not have much to contest left zone, assassination was spurred by impending loss to scenario.
Spacing and Placement: 3, nearly lost Midas, models placed in the way of Slaughterhousers getting to the Great bears. Road Hog lost for no gain.
Target Priority: 5, chose mostly well with sculpting Flamethrowers aside from feat turn when Alexia was the better target than Irusk.
Effectiveness: 7, various calculated risks with not terrible dice math.
Cool: 9, zero issues.
Grade: Scraped a B (38)

Player Grading

Spacing and Placement: 1, wasted Road Hogs. Turns out Kraken have RFP.
Target Priority: 4, knew the right targets but insufficient forces brought to bear.

Cool: 7, shaken by mistakes, but carried on.
Grade: Scraped a C (26)
