Laziness means I use the same list.
Gorten - Earthbreaker, Gun Mages + Dude, 2x Pressgangers, pAlexia + Risen, Tinker, Gorman, Ragman, Hawk, Madelyn, Anastasia, Pendrake, Piper
Objective: Effigy of Valor
Pendrake is almost looking sketchy, but sooner or later Archidons and Angeli will re-appear on the other side and I'll remember why I like him in the list.
Calandra with Elemental whatsit Theme - 5x Storm Trolls, 4x Slag Trolls, 2x Pyre Trolls, Stone + UA
Three flags makes an appearance, it's been a while.
Merc Deploy: Won the roll, picked first because otherwise the lights get to the halfway line, from what I've seen there isn't a huge deal of variance in how a list of just lights deploys (Slags go opposite the Earthbreaker been the main thing). Anastasia went far to the right, the amount of electrical leaps made being on her lonesome a safer position.
Troll Deploy: Cabar Throwers are stand ins for the Slags, front Kriels are Storms.
Merc 1: Everything runs up, Earthbreaker assumes battle form. I try to eyeball being 13 away from the front line of Storm Trolls. Jacob looms mightily to enthuse his models onward. Solid Ground/Strength of Granite up.
Troll 1: Turns out I suck at eyeballing 13 inches, the front line of Pressgangers are in by an inch or so, the Blue Gangers on the right get zapped a few times killing seven of them. The Pyre Troll on the right moves onto the hill, shoots at Anastasia, rolls the exact distance and direction needed to scatter and kill her (Needed a 1 on direction and 4+ on distance). Bugger. Calandra casts Star Crossed.
Merc 2: Spells upkept, two focus on the Colossal. The Blue Pressgangers run to the right flag and the engage the end Storm Troll. The Earthbreaker walks forward and knocks down the front rank of Storm Trolls, failing to get the Pyre on the end.
The Red Gangers on the left charge forward, they scratch one of the Storm Trolls. Madelyn runs to the left flag, Hawk runs to intercept models heading towards her fellow corset enthusiast. Gorman wonders into the forest and clouds, because sometime pointless actions need to be taken.
Pendrake pops Beast Lore on the Gun Mages, who walk forward and do crit brutals/Snipes to ping one of the Storm Trolls.
I think that in a bureaucratic damage tracking capacity this list is a bit of a nightmare, a lot of attacks weren't especially targeted because it was easier and used less time to just spray and pray, which is pretty far from best practice.
Troll 2: Left Pyro Troll walks toward the left flag, gets in contest range, get Hawk with an AoE and sets her on fire. The right Pyre and Storm Troll walk over to the right flag, killing a couple more Blue Pressgangers. Central Storm Trolls and Slags shoot/punch the Red engaging Pressgangers. Calandra Star Crosses.
Merc 3: Hawk burns to death. Gorman Intrigues forward. Earthbreaker gets two, Solid Ground upkept. Blue Pressgangers wish they were elsewhere, contest the right flag.
Earthbreaker knocks down the Storm Troll line and kills one in the centre. Red Pressgangers charge and do not much. Gun Mages advance, they take out a second Storm Troll and a few members of the Stone unit.
Pendrake walks up through the forest, uses his Bola to knock down the left Pyre Troll. Alexia charges said Pyre Troll and butchers it.
Gorman walks up, Blinds the left most Storm Troll of the two that remain. Gorten moves up, feats on the pair of Storm Trolls that remain in the centre, the two left most Slags and two members of the Stone unit (Including the Bearer) get pushed back a little bit.
Tinker runs to the centre flag.
Mercs go to 2 CP.
Troll 3: Moses pops his mini-feat to cast Bullet Dodge on Calandra who feats and casts Star Crossed. Stone charges, kills a Pressganger and runs a member of the unit to contest the left flag. Right Pyre and Storm Troll kill the Blue Pressgangers and claim the right flag.
The centre Storm Troll kills the Tinker, the Slags advance and shoot Gorten down to six health (Three hit for four damage, one missed) and corroded.
Trolls go to 1 CP.
Merc 4: Alexia takes eight damage to fire, goes to one hit point and loses four Risen, she then Intrigues to the right and changes facing. Earthbreaker gets two focus, Solid Ground Upkept.
The Red Lass Seduces the Stone member contesting the left flag, he walks away and attacks a member of his unit, he misses. Madelyn moves a little. Pendrake walks up and shoots the relevant member of the stones.
Gorman walks up, Blinds a pair of the Slags. Gun Mages take out the Stone unit except for the UA. Alexia charges a Storm Troll and kill it, Risen jam around the middle flag. Earthbreaker charges the Slag near the centre flag, takes out the spirit. Ragman activates long after he should have and does nothing. Gorten heals for two and runs the hell away.
Mercs go to 3 CP.
Trolls go to 2 CP.
Troll 4: One of the Slags in the Centre Flag Frenzies and bops a Risen. Moses uses Harmonious. Calandra upkeeps Bullet Dodger, walks up onto the hill and casts Star Crossed. Near the right flag, the Pyre troll uses his Animus on the Slag fighting the Earthbreaker, the Storm Troll there zaps the Risen engaging said Pyre, knocking them down. The Blind Slags move, engaging Alexia and Gorman. Stone UA runs to contest the left flag. Damaged Slag with the Pyre animus goes to punch the Earthbreaker, but wasn't healed by Calandra and does little. The back Storm Troll fails to get Alexia.
Trolls go to 3 CP.
Merc 5: Clock is loooow. Corrosion wears off Gorten, Solid stays and Earthbreaker gets fully loaded. Madelyn seduces the Stone UA, he walks the hell away then gets killed by a Lucky Bow shot from Pendrake who now controls the left flag.
Earthbreaker walks to contest the right flag and overkills the damaged Pyre Troll with his opening melee attack, he should have done shots instead. Alexia fails to kill one of the two Slags contesting the centre flag.
The Gun Mages aim and manage to Thunderstrike the Slags away from the middle flag. Ragman moves to the centre flag.
Mercs go to 5 CP.
End Clocks, Mercs on the right.
