Scenario is two fronts, I got good old eVayl, per the plan. This is the six heavy variant, so no Hex Hunter annoyance.
Lively scenario this time, so plan is to push that hard and use my feat appropes.

Legion Deploy: I won the roll, pick the side that matters (Intrusive wall near a zone).
It's a line of Heavies, enjoying their lives before Mark 3.

Merc Deploy: Stuff.

Legion 1: Everything runs way to the left side of the board, only the Pot really stays central.

Merc 1: Everything forward! Gorten and his nearest and dearest go into the trench. Anastasia runs way to the left of the board to force the clock to move.

Legion 2: A load of Press Gangers get shot. One Scythean runs toward the right side, doesn't get to the zone. Pot spawns a Shredder that toes said zone.

Merc 2: Push hard time. He's spaced so far away I'm better off keeping my feat to tap the autowin button.
I stupidly forget to place down 9 Risen. I put them down on the side, then contemplated my order of action enough to space out. Eugh.
Press Gangers move around, left unit is Icy Gripped so moves a bit awkwardly.
Gun Mages go, one got Madelyned forward and knocks the Shredder out of the zone. Another Gun Mage snipes at it and straight up kills it. Huh.
Gorten charges into the right zone, a bit further forward than normal, as I was worried the Earthbreaker wasn't going to be in charge range of the objective (As it was Bunker, I wasn't going to be able to shoot it down like I prefer).
Sure enough, the Earthbreaker charges and easily dirts said Objective.
Madelyn, Hawk, Gorman, Alexia all crowd around Gorten to shield him.

Legion 3: Alimanex goes into the tank, and correctly concludes that even running four heavies into my zone won't achieve squat.
After much measuring, he works out a viable assassination run.
Ravagores set Gorten on fire and lightly scratch him.
Vayl moves up, Slipstreams the Seraph across. Does a feat and arcs an Oblit for sod all, hits Gorten with an Icy Grip.
Lunch ladies kill a Press Ganger blocking the Scythean.
Seraph flies across, Slipstream moves the Scythean forward.
Scythean then charges Gorten, needs 6's to hit at dice minus 5. Opening attacks with Boosted damage leave him on one box. Last unboosted attack go.
Lands the hit.
Gets the six.
Sod.

Me on the left.
Alas, he correctly worked out the puzzle.
Good game, played out reasonably well. Could have stopped the assassination straight up by placing the Risen, putting Gorten in the corner of the zone (Was worried about blocking the Earthbreaker charge), or by the great of skill that is passing some tough rolls. Alas. General plan good, stumbled on specifics to make the last ditch more unworkable.
Even the indomitable Parliamentarian Frawlron fell this round, only Glorious EdTheRed cracking his knuckles with a win.
