Final Round of ye old Wintercon, time to try to salvage a 2-2 record.
Mordors favourite Southron is rocking Ret ADR, eVyross and Ossyran on Close Quarters.
I drop Gorten, to my surprise I get Vyross.
I swap out Hawk and Reinholdt and bring in pEiryss, Southie trades out Sentinels with UA and something to get Imperatus in.
eVyross - Imperatus, Aspis, 2x Arcanist, Sentinels, Destor Thane, 6 Griffons
The long term plan was to feat then use the Earthbreaker knock down, pEiryss shot and gun mages to stop any focus generation while threatening a slow grind scenario win.
Merc Deploy: Win the roll, pick first to enable the scenario grind.
Ret Deploy: THE JACKS! ALL THE JACKS!
Merc 1: All my junk runs up.
Ret 1: Synergy/Deflection up, the Sentinels go in and maul a few Press Gangers.
Merc 2: Gorten gets to my friendly flag, throws up a wall. Press Gangers and Gun Mages ping off Sentinels, tough Risen swarm around. Earthbreaker knocks down three Griffons and Imperatus.
Ret 2: Southie decides to go for it. A Griffon gets focus, the knock down ones stand up. Synergy easily builds up off Risen/Press Gangers, but Imperatus can't quite get where he needs to for clearance. One Griffon with three focus is in walk range of Gorten at Synergy +6 provided Vyross can pop the Risen blocking the lane.
He snake eyes it.
Merc 3: Gorten drags Vyross in, Earthbreaker pew pews, but rolls minimal shots and doesn't kill him. Alexia goes in with about fifteen Risen, burns a couple to get it done.
Me on the right.
Southies Masters was apparently that all day, but he gets another chance at the dubious honor of playing me at Who's the Boss.
Had four games I thoroughly enjoyed, so Masters success :-)
