Game 392 - Gorten vs 3Nemo

Snapped into Andrew for a game, rolled up Destruction and wanting to test out 3Nemo against a load of dudes.

I dropped Gorten because Destruction is the Jelly to his Jam (Though in sandwich terms I'm not actually a fan).

Gorten - Earthbreaker, Thor, Hawk, Madelyn, Gorman, Tinker, Anastasia, 2x Press Gangers, pAlexia + Risen, Gun Mages + The Dude
Objective: Effigy of Valor

3Nemo + Caitlyn - Dynamo, Lancer, Stormlancers, Junior, Stormguard, Reinholdt, Rangers, Piper, Arlan, Stormblade Captain
Objective: Effigy of Valor

Cygnar Deploy: I won the roll, picked second and took the side with an obstruction that would imperil the push to win plan.
Brown hills on the left, Green forest on the right.

Merc Deploy: Earthbreaker went to the right to get into the Objective with its guns, so it'll face off againt the Cav trying to kill it.

Cygnar 1: Arcane Shield goes on the Cav, Failsafe on Dynamo. Pretty much everything runs forward, the Rangers form a skirmish line, the cav move past the wall.

Merc 1: It runs forward, the Press Gangers have been lied to about their survival odds.
Gorten gets up behind a wall, I muck up a gun mage placement so Alexia is on the wrong side of Gorten I put Three Risen base to base with the Earthbreaker to absorb arcs that might zap Thor.
Anastasia runs far to the left and screams "DISTRACTION".

Cygnar 2: Nemo feats, does some shots, tries an unboosted Chain Lightning that misses. Rangers/Storm Line killed loads of Gangers, one charges out of command to try to swing at Anastasia (Operation DISTRACTION deemed a success). Arlan, Finch and Junior try to clear out the Gangers hemming the Storm Ponies, they kill a few and Junior pops a Ranger.
Dynamo shoots off more than half the Earthbreaker (It was going so well until that final 19 damage point shot). Storm Lancers Assault the Earthbreaker, they leave it on about 6 boxes I think (Movement and Right Arm still going) and using Arcs kill the three Risen and Madelyn.

Merc 2: Nemo is toeing out of the killbox without camp. I have extremely strong plays to either kill him or scenario it. I go for scenario because CP's are sweet.
Earthbreaker gets repaired by Tinker, Damage buffed by Thor then kills the Objective and knocks down a pair of Ponies.
Gorten charges a Press Ganger, I measure my control area and the Badge Vest is thrown into the Ring as I declare feat.
Not much could have been done, Nemo couldn't get out of the Killbox, clock wasn't under threat, Risen were going to Jam and Hide armour 23 knockdown immune Gorten.

End clock was 29 for Haidoneous and 41 for me.
