Kiiiiiiiiiiiarian, courtesy of a boss' leg breaking garage exiting strategies had been absent and got in an early one. By which I mean, scheduled an early one, then the washing machine of lies conspired to make it only slightly early.
Out of eHaley, eCaine and Arkadius he indicated a preference for Haley. I was weirded out, until the Legion popped out instead of the Cryx I was used to him rocking.
Rolled up Incoming.
eHaley - Stormwall (Bonded), Thorn, Black 13th, Squire, Journeyman, Tinker, Gorman, Hawk, Anastasia, 2x Press Gangers
Objective: Effigy of Valor
eAbsylonia - Angelius, Seraph, Ravagore, Scythean, 2x Raek, 2x Shredder, 2x Forsaken, Succubus, Shepherd
Objective: Effigy of Valor
Cygnar Deploy: I won the roll and picked first. I was then given the appropriately worse side, somewhat bereft of useful pieces.
Legion Deploy: Thagrosh in standing in for Abby, beasts in the middle from left to right are Scythean, Seraph, Ravagore, Angelius.
Cygnar 1: Everything runs up, intent is to crush it out on scenario early. I roughly eyeballed that Abby couldn't get in on feat bottom of 1 for Conferred.
Legion 1: I was safe with my from Press Gangers, so the Legion stuff just moves up, Fortify goes on the Ravagore, Tenacities on the Raeks. Ravagore blows up a couple Press Gangers on the left.
Cygnar 2: Press Gangers run around, two go into the Raek on the left and do nothing. The Stormwall moves up and kills the Succubus and one Forsaken. I arc a Timebomb through Thorn to hit the Ravagore, Abby and a Shredder. Haley moves up and feats.
Here's where the flubbing really starts. Forgetting the Stormwall counts as a model, I ran Hawk into the Scather to claim the left zone. Haley wasn't threatening to Dominate the left zone. I didn't even move Anastasia.
Legion 2: Everything backs up, a few Press Gangers from both units die to shots. the right Raek goes into the Scather template in the right zone. Abby camps 2.
Cygnar goes to 1 CP.
Cygnar 3: I load up Thorn and the Stormwall. Haley falls back in case the assassination run fails. Thorn gets TK'd across, then slams the Ravagore into Abby.
As I work out the Stormwalls footprint, we remember the Ravagore has Fortify and I've pretty much screwed up everything. Stormwall goes into the standing Abby anyway, lands a hit for fifteen damage that gets transferred to the Seraph then misses its other attacks.
Junior moves Arcane Shield to Haley.
Gorman runs to the far left edge of the left zone. Press Gangers wonder around, they do about 6 damage to the Objective.
Cygnar goes to 2 CP.
Legion 3: Abby feats and kills a Pressganger for Conferred Rage. Loads of my stuff dies, Stormwall, Thorn an da few Pressgangers are pulp. The left Raek takes a free strike that pops its Mind.
Cygnar 4: Desperate TK plan ahoy! Black 13th advance, I luck out on brutal damage rolls and pop the Objective. Journeyman/Squire run up to the left. Gorman blinds the Raek in the left zone on the hill. Haley charges Junior, misses the attack. It is then pointed out that the Raek on the hill has stealth.
Doing well with that Legion knowledge.
I TK the Scythean out of the way, boost to hit the Seraph and TK it out, then TK Haley forward, finally throw a TK at the Raek.
Land it, pop it out of the zone, Domiante for the undeserved win.
Me on the right.
Worse. Haley. Player. Evar.
I didn't hate my deployment I guess?
