I still have a load of Steelheads and Rhulic Jacks. Onwards!
Up next is the mighty Eir Bender!
He has Swan filth. Dirty, bedraggled, grimy, unhygienic Swans.
Some guy - Centurion, Thorn, Squire, Junior + Sentinel, Storm Lancers, Piper, Rangers
I get.....Arkadius! POW 6 Primal Shocks from Gun Bunnies incoming! SO MUCH POWOAR!
Some Guy turns into....
Irusk2.
Oh god.
You can tell the Sydney meta by the PTSD expression they get when they recollect their Irusk2 games.
Anyway, onto actual dollies! Be warned, my recollection of this game is messy as your average teenagers bedroom floor (initially I wrote "messy as hell", but then I pictured Satan as a really organised Middle Manager. You know the sort.).

Round 1: I win the roll, lazily pick first. Mistake. Comfortable cage.
A small pool of cane water is near my flag again. Dangit.
Both sides run forward, looks like a Jack off over my flag, all the Swans metal rods against my masters of Slamming.
That circle is ye old rough terrain.

Merc 2: My initial photo was a blurry mess. Good thing I took a second one! Sigh.
Basically the Steelheads ran forward to jam/die, leave a horrible mess on the floor.
I throw a Basher way forward in walk range of the Centurion. Why? Excellent question.
Arkadius tried to Crippling Grasp the Centurion which I ingeniously engaged. Only need a boosted 8, should be fine. I missed. Arkadius then does the Venus 2000 reposition backward.

Cygnar 2: Steelheads die like a malfunctioning milking machine. About five or so live after the Sotmr Lancers and Rangers are done.
Centurion happily smacks down the Basher and whips it to death.

Merc 3: Well, I've now finished Toku Episode 5's attempts to read sex dungeon reviews in the same style as Bed and Breakfast commentators, hopefully it'll get less weird from here?
Eonon was hilarious and we were having a boisterous time, enough that I think this is about the point the Masters Judge had to tell us to quieten down.
Anyway, Arkadius tries to Crippling Grasp the Centurion. He's behind the wall, but it's a boosted eight, it'll be......nope.....missed. Dangit.
Forced Evo Basher goes, eats Thorn. The Swan things stupid shield knocks out three boxes of Cortex. Rhulic Jacks being amazing, he still had Cortex remaining. Glorious.
Gun Bunnies shoot the light jacks. for a bit. I did my Feat moves this turn I think, though it didn't really achieve much.

Cygnar 3: The Cav are finally free of the Steelheads and make an evil V flying formation. They are tough, no knockdown with Arcane Shield. You know, fair and balanced.
Big E was suffering though, both from clock burn unfortunately due to our shenanigans and more importantly the Irusk model. Don't think I've seen a figure knocked over more times in a game. Standard of doom! He also had to contend with the dice devouring board edge, a gap between our table and its neighbour that was a great consumer of small cubes of plastic.
Centurion stabs the remaining Basher, rolls appallingly for damage. takes out half it's health but no system, again, Dwarfness.

Merc 4: I finally land a god damn Crippling Grasp on the Centurion. The Basher then kills it.
I go to my flag with Arkady, my light jacks futz around and do shots. Two of the cav tough and I roll my eyes in agony.

End game state!
I frivolously wasted my clock, so we both ended up on the pump.
The Cav, harbingers of doom, tied up my jacks and killed the Basher over a couple turns as Irusk went to his flag and scored up to 4 CP.
Final round was me running Aiyanna and Holt to contest, Airburst not killing them and Edos clocking out.
In the next round he realised he'd feated and Aiyanna/Holt couldn't have run to get to the flag.
A fun game, though a far from ideal result. We'll have to have a rematch, wherein hopefully I also don't disgrace myself, the decision making I used here was outright awful (Threw away a basher, could have started the Light jacks going to do pew pews on the Cav and at least start chipping at them).
