There was colour coded cards, tray and spreadsheet, but no one wants to see that.
Round 1, Outflank, not my favourite with the pairing but playable.
Because I'm all about hoping for an easy opening round, I got Chris of Loud-dom (Though it seems the rep shouts louder than the Chris, possibly because the AM time stream is one of human kinds horrible mistakes).
It's eIrusk and uButcher. Scenario and faction fling this to MaBain, The Reds drop Puppy Lover.
uButhcer - Behemoth, Ruin, 2x Press Gangers, Kell, Ragman, Saxon, Hawk, eAlexia, Rockbottom, Widowmakers
Khador Deploy: I lose the die roll alas, Loudster picks first.Widowmakers continue out of shot, not like they can't be anywhere and have laods of targets against my list...
Merc Deploy: That there on the left is called a silly way to deploy.
Khador 1: Everything runs up, Behemoth gets a few focus to trample forward and try to bombard the compacted Commie Press Gangers, but fortunately they scatter the wrong directions. Silence of death goes on the Khador Press Gangers on the left.
Merc 1: I feat on various Press Gangers, eAlexia, Orin and Grogspar. The Commies get Counter Measures, Galleon gets Fortune and Artillerist.
Things move up and spread out, Galleon then fuels Alexia by exploding Press Gangers on the right. I'd hoped to do scatter shots on Kell/Ragman but that sadly proved unfeasible.
Eiryss plinked off Silence of Death.
Khador 2: Behemoth gets a couple to the guns, but advances into just Counter Measure range.
The left Press Gangers get Silence of Death and maul the Commies unit on the left side, who promptly fail their command check.
Alexia Ride By's a Hellfire, nabs a couple of souls by the end of the turn. Right Press Gangers knock my Alexia down because they are meanies. The Widowmakers plink a little, though a couple of them have a hard time finding worthwhile targets.
Buthcer stays back, the Heavies splits between the zones.
Merc 2: Eiryss stops me allocating, not to big a deal as at most I would give the Galleon one to boost drag damage.
Eiryss plinks off Silence of Death yet again.
The TAC throw fireballs at the Gangers in the left zone, but do appallingly.
The Galleon drags in Ruin, using blasts to clear the lane and do extremely well in taking out the models the TAC failed against. MacBain Jackhammers Ruin to death.
Smurfs/Alexia/Thralls/Holt clear out Press Gangers and Widowmakers in the right zone, Holt kills Hawk.
I sadly ran out of attacks and couldn't pop the last Widowmaker in the zone.
Khador 3: Press Gangers, mainly on the left, kill off the Commies in the zone and take out the Buccaneers movement. The last Commie flees again.
Alexia touches the right zone, spawns Thralls that free up the Widowmakers and get in the Galleons way. The Smurfs are also severely reduced.
Buthcer runs into the left zone.
Khador goes to 2 CP.
Merc 3: Aiyanna/Holt kill Alexia, Galleon/Grogspar clear out the rest of the right zone, TAC run into the left zone to contest, the last Commie falls back and rallies, The Khador Press Gangers flee. Orin Null Magics.
Both sides are on 2 CP.
Khador 4: Butcher clears the left zone with no effort, feats and camps. Behemoth and a dog try to block the right side of said zone. Widowmaker stays in melee with the engaging Thrall, walks to toe the zone. Press Gangers rally.
4v2 to Khador.
Merc 4: Do or die now, I need to flood the left zone, clear the right and prey that Butcher can't kill it all (Good damn luck...). I need to run the Galleon/Buccaneer in, Null Magic with Orin and hope that Ragman doesn't kill the last Press Ganger I can get in to contest.
There's two Press Gangers in the way of the Galleon charging into the zone and Behemoth, figure they would be easy to clear out.
Grogspar kills the contesting Widowmaker in the right zone and the Thrall that failed to do it before him. Slinky enough.
Aiyanna/Holt and Dougal kill one Press Ganger, but fail to nab the other. The Bucanner then tries and fails. Orin ends up having to lightning him to death. Galleon then charges Behemoth, MacBain burns most of his focus to Jackhammer the Jack dead then Energizes back a little. Commie runs into the right zone, Smurf tries to close up Kells running into my zone range as an optimistic play.
4 apiece.
Khador 5: Ragman zaps the Commie, I fail teh tough check, Buthcer kills the Galleon, Kell runs into the right zone and game over.
Bugger. That didn't play out as I expected, I thought Butcher would be less cagey and someone would have to conjure an assassination. The slight change I could have made the bottom of two was not bother engaging all the widowmakers and having another Thrall chance an 8 on a Widowmaker, but oh well.
