Once more into the Journey breach.
Game 1: When Battle Boxes confuse
A random pickup into Gref the Cheg, though first we had to work out what the Legion BAttle box was (Come on, how am I meant to recognise a Neraph? I'd never seen one before...).
Anyway Ossrum and friends went into some sweet Proxy Legion of Kryysa, Neraph, Bolt Thrower, a pair of Shredders that will be in the next buddy cop movie.
As a terrible Merc player these days, I subbed in a Juggernaught to rep my totally-ordered-now Driller.
Legion run behind a cloud, I run up and divide around a forest. The Legion cloud went away at the end of my turn (I wish that clouds only went away on a 1. I rolled a 1 this time around, but that's not my point!).
The Legion stuff moves up again and headed to the right, the Shredders went into my Spray Bunny with Bulletdodger. They hit, and do about half its health, but fail to take out any systems.

This is after my next turn, the Gun Bunnies move up and with Snipe hits the Neraph nicely. The Spray Bunny uses Unstoppable Force to shove the Shredders away, then goes and does a bit mroe damage on the Neraph. I hit Kryssa to, who flicks it to a Shredder.
Ossrum and the Driller hide behind the trees.
After this, the non-Shredder Legion stuff goes into the trench and bizarrely everything fails to kill the Spray Bunny.
I put my Driller 11 away from the Neraph as the Gun Bunnies struggle to hit things in the trench.
Kryssa then feats and sends in the Neraph on the Driller as the Bolt Thrower finally gets the job done killing the Sprayer. The Legion rolls abysmally, only taking the Drillers left arm. I then counter kill it and chew my way through the rest of the Legion stuff with a couple turns.
Game 2: March of the Trollguins
Bradosaur throws down some of the blue fellas. Its the return of Ragnar, Doomies version of Regina George from Mean Girls. His Plastics squad is of course an Axer, Bouncer and Impaler.
Trolls run forward, I run forward not as much. Pulverize goes on the Axer.
Trolls then run forward again, mostly sitting on the hill, but the Impaler move up and shoots the Driller. He doesn't boost to hit my Def 9 model and to my shock misses, making my advice to not boost look super dodgy.
I feat, Ossrum enjoys being able to walk his charge distance and goes to a hill on the left, with the Gun Bunnies he plinks the Axer for a bit. The Spray Bunny walks up for a bit more on the Axer and missing Ragnar. My Driller then charges in and eats the Impaler.

Here's the Troll response to my diplomatic efforts, everything goes into my Driller and Ragnar feats. The Heavy stands with 5 boxes remaining, thankfully Cortex and Right arm are good to go.
The Troll are all engaged, which makes the plan easy. Spray bunny moves up and headbutts the Axer. Well, tries to. I miss the boosted 7. Eep.
The Driller then goes, courtesy of the damage from the early gun shots and some high single die damage rolls I manage to pop the Axer.
The Gun Bunnies then try to get involved, the first misses the Bouncer, ricochets into Ragnar, then the Bouncer Shield Guards it and I do no damage.
Well, what are the odds of that happening again? Other Bunny also shoots the Bouncer. Misses. Hits the Driller. Rolls exactly 5 damage to kill it.
Self sabotage is the game win condition right?
It's now Ragnar + Boucner versus Ossrum +Bunnies.
The Trolls go over and kill the Spray Bunny (No less than the little scrub deserves), then Ragnar Digs the pair in. Ah. That's going to be an issue.
WE then have a couple turns of me going back towards the corner, trying to soften up the Bouncer. The Trolls follow up and Dig in. My damage rolls are pretty bad and Regeneration is making this untenable.
The Bouncer ends up near enough that one Bunny Slams him, Ossrum then Energizes and charges. I'd failed to math for the shield, so this goes terribad. I end up killing the Bouncer to the box with my last attack. Dice rolling skills?
