Rolled up Close Quarters.
eHaley - Stormwall, Squire, Black 13th, Thorn, Gorman, Tinker, Hawk, Junior, Anastasia, 2x Press Gangers
Objective: Effigy of Valor
3Vlad - Ruin, War Doge, Fenris, IFP + UA, Black Dragon IFP + UA, Outriders, Ragman, Gorman, Saxon
Objective: Irrelevant
Khador Deploy: Left flank metal IFP are the Black Dragons, the Black IFP on the right are the regular lots (The irony!). Black Cav on the far right are the Murder POnies, Vlad, Ruin and various solos are in the middle.
Cygnar Deploy: Stormwall to the left of centre, Anastasia bungled up so I picked the side with a nice looking wall and an obstruction on the opposing side I was hoping to get Covering Fire blocking on.
Khador 1: Everything runs up, Infernal Machine goes on Ruin, Hand of Fate on the Ponies. Fenris gets to the Khador flag.
Cygnar 1: Plan is to run stuff up, feat, kill Fenris, set up the Press Gangers to kill IFP the turn after.
The Gangers run to various spots in the middle of the board, the Temporal Accelerated Stormwall moves up, lines on Fenris, dismounts then kills him. Because of that facing the Covering Fire templates don't go down ideally, the Pod also is placed weirdly to not zap pirates.
Haley moves up, some screwing around happens to make sure I get the Murder Ponies. My feat misses the various solos and Vlad.
13th move up the middle and put a Magestorm down.
Happy with this turn aside from the Stormwall and Thorn mistakes.
The Pod only hits enemy models, so could have gone where it needed to, next to the round Obstruction. I should have just not taken one of the shots on Fenris to make sure the Covering Fire went down appropriately.
The Murder Ponies needed to start being whittled down, probably the only means I had of doing that this turn was to get Thorn up the right, pull a focus of the Squire and Arcane Bolt one to death, at least get the anti-spray program going.
Khador 2: Spells upkept, IFP shield march forward, point and giggle at where the Covering Fire is. Vlad toes the Killbox, Ragman hides behind the Obstruction, Gorman clouds in front of el Vlado. Black Dragons mini-feat.
Cygnar 2: Plan is to send Press Gangers in, kill what IFP I can, Esponiage with Anastasia to make space to get the Stormwall into Ruin.
That pretty much happens. Hawk runs around providing the Object of Desire bonus, I kill a few of the Black Dragons and do a fair bit to the normal Pikes. The Stormwall trivially kills ruin after being Temporal Accelerated. Haley falls way back. I muck up the Black 13th and don't really do anything with them. A pod hits Gorman for three damage.
Khador 3: Ragman moves up, Death Fields. Gorman hits the Stormwall with a Rust.
Vlad feats, charges the Colossal, kills Press Gangers with Flashing Blades while Side stepping forward with normal attacks, takes out three quarters of the Stormwall and Sprint to the Cygnar flag. The remaining Black Dragons then finish off the Colossal. The Murder POnies go into the forest and kill the majority of the Press Gangers on the right.
Khador go to 2 CP.
Cygnar 3: 13th, Haley and various support pieces derp at killing Vlad and his load of Blood Tokens, I concede.
Me on the right.
Blargh. mucked that right up. Needed to whittle Ponies and apply the 13th/Pods to kill the solos properly. Vlad will likely pump up the Blood Tokens regardless, needed to Covering fire properly and start threatening scenario.
At the time contemplated swapping out the Tinker (Who I forgot to put on the board...) and Gorman for pEiryss, think there's probably better ways to play it instead looking at it, though there is a fair bit of strain on the Black 13th and protecting the Stormwall.
