Gorten - Earthbreaker, Thor, Hawk, Madelyn, Gorman, Tinker, Ragman, Anastasia, 2x Press Gangers, pAlexia + Risen, Gun Mages + The Dude
Objective: Effigy of Valor
Rolled into Garreed, skipping the third of the players that had Skorne. Two Fronts cropped up.
pDoomy (Tier 4 Runes) - Glacier King, Dire Troll, Impaler, Kriel Stone + UA, 5x Rune Shapers
Objective: Effigy of Valor
Merc Deploy: I win the roll and pick first. If I go second then the Gargantuan gets into the enemy zone and stops the fast score, I want to run up and use the Runes Walls for my own stuff. If Doomie mives into Purify range then he's into feat drag and kill range, so that's fine by me.
My important solos and Gun Mages lean toward the left, as I intend to be very aggressive.
Troll Deploy: Runes shapers mostly on the left side, Doomy and Stones hide behind the King. Didn't pick up at the time that the Tiered wall templates were illegally within 3 inches of other terrain.
Merc 1: Everything charges up, Solid Ground and Strength of Granite go up. Everything banks left aside from Alexia and one Press Ganger unit.
Troll 1: Rune Shapers advance, the Glacier King gets Fortune and kills a pair of Press Gangers with Shots.
Merc 2: The Trolls haven't moved up nearly as much as I thought, so the jam plan is on.
Spells upkept.
The Smurfs spread out in the right zone, the Communists jam up on the right.
Alexia positions for Corpse collection and to pop a Thrall that kills a Rune Shaper.
The Gun Mages Move up the left, to my surprise they kill a pair of Rune Shapers, last one flees.
Various solos sit around the enemy Objective.
Troll 2: Press Gangers on the right get trimmed by Rune Shapers and the Mauler, the Glacier King kills my Objective. Left Rune Shapers fuddle around to kill the Thrall and a few Press Gangers. The Stone ends up behind the centre wall.
Doomshaper drops Fury and runs to get to the right zone toeing the forest.
Merc 3: Easy enough, continue jamming, clear out the left zone, kill the Objective and try to hold my feat.
Press Gangers go in on both sides and stab away. Hawk, Gorten and a few of the Gangers pop the Objective. Gorman clouds in front of him.
Earthbreaker moves up, chips at the stone. Rolls minimal shots, hits everything due to a knock down torpedo, a series of tough rolls and the low amount of attacks stop me fulfilling that dream.
Risen run everywhere, Anastasia moves to a blocking spot.
Mercs go to 3 CP.
Troll 3: Rune shapers get into the top of the left zone, one unit manages to kill Anastasia.
Glacier king now has room, gets Transmute off Doomie, tramples in, squashing four Risen and axing Fury to take out half of the Earthbreaker.
Merc 4: I had weighed up putting a wall down, then decided Doomie could just Purify it away. Conceivably worth it, but lucking the Dire Troll hadn't gone into the Earthbreaker to kill it, which would have put me in an awkward spot (It'd be Madelyn over, feat move Doomie and kill him with Alexia).
Thanks to feat though, I only had to kill the King.
Gorten shuffles, feats the Runeshapers and most of the Stone unit backwards.
I keep the upkeeps up and load up the Breaker. He gets tuned up for damage. Alexia and Risen charge the Stone unit and cause the Stone to shift to a different model, getting rid of the aura.
Earthbreaker then goes into the Transmuted King with Boosted damage at dice + 3 and handidly kills it with an attack to spare.
Mercs go to 5 CP.
Me on the right.
