Still rocking Ossrum I added some sweet Solo-age.
Ossrum1 - Driller, Basher, 2x Gunners, Blaster, Sylys Wyshlanyrr, Orin Midwinter, Eiryss1
Orin is there to stop the handful of painful debuffs (Primarily Agathia's Parasite and Xekaar's Mortality) and use lightning pew pews to clear off infantry. I reasoned Eiryss would either take Snipe or Fire for Effect, and then either Disrupt for the attrition play or clear out caster stacks for assassinations, painful lessons from previous journeymans. Driller's just don't get it done against focus campers.
It's the return Ale-T, rocking some totally-not-the-protagists-of-the-setting.
Maddox - Ironclad, Firefly, Lancer, Jakes + Minuteman, min Stormlancers
Ah. Stormlancers. Joy.

Merc Deploy: I win the roll and go first. Pretty much the same table as last game, so I get teh side with a hill while the Talex takes the wall and Trench combo.

Cygnar Deploy: Grumble grumble evil ponies grumble.

Round 1: All the stuff runs forward!
I put Fire for Effect on Eiryss and run her way left, intent being for her to pop Jakes as soon as she can. I Snipe a Gun Bunny.
The Stormlancers get teh Cygnar armour buff thingy and run up the flank around the right lot of trees. Stay back devils!
The Jakes Minuteman and the Ironclad go into the trench, everything else hangs somewhat back.

Merc 2: I plan for Eiryss to strip Jakes Fury then for the Gun Bunnies to cycle Snipe to kill her. Heavies get max loaded, ready to kill the Ironclad.
Eiryss moves to max range, hits Jakes and straight up kills her. Glorious.
Ossrum then feats, Energises to get Jacks in threat range, walks way to teh elft to get away from Ponydeath.
Gun Bunnies move up and ping the Lancer for a bit.
The Driller charges the Ironclad and in a display of supreme ineptitude does sod all. I also charged him out of Ossrum's feat bubble. Heargh. I misread my feat, treating it as an aura akin to Unstoppable Force, rather than the Pulse it is. Oh well.
The Basher Slams in, knocks the Ironclad back for a mighty minimum of three inches.
The Spray Bunny and Orin hang near Ossrum.

Cygnar 2: The Ponies come dashing around the hill, the Ironclad and Lancer go into the Driller and mess him up bad, just leaving his gimpy left arm still held on by a loose bolt.
The Firefly moves up and blats Eiryss. Oh well, she made her points back.

Merc 3: I plot out an assassination run, though wanting to both Energiser and Unstoppable Force cause me a lot of tank time trying to reconcile the order of activation issues.
The plan ends up being to slam the Ironclad with a Bunny, then use the Basher to slam Maddox. She doesn't need to die, if I get her far enough away then the Ironclad will have to give chase letting me use the intervening turns to get Ossrum to the flag, kill the Firefly and threaten a good scenario win.
The Bunny goes in, slam roll hits the Ironclad, sadly slams him the minimum half an inch, so the plan is off.
I then try to eke a delay turn, the Basher goes to the swan flag and tries to off the Firefly, does damage but fails to kill.
The other Gun Bunny tries a shot on the Lancer, misses, hits the other Gun Bunny and takes out its Cortex. The hell guys?
The Spray Bunny slams a Lancer into another one as Ossrum, Orin and Sylyss leg it around the forest.

Cygnar 3: Storm Lancer stand up and have a go at the Spray Bunny, they roll miserably to hit and it surprisingly lives.
Lancer finishes off the Driller.
The Ironclad noms up the friendly firing Gun Bunny. Maddox moves in and reactivates the Minuteman.

Merc 4: Maddox dead or bust!
Plan is to put her on her back then use Ossrum's gun, strangleholds and Orin's LIghtning to finish her off.
The Basher walks over, headbutts Maddox down. Buys a couple attacks, I roll outrageously well and punch through her transfers to kill her. Weird, how come Drillers can't do that?
Realistically, cool as Eiryss killing Jakes was, I should have used Snipe cycling Gun Bunnies and had Eiryss hang back and Disrupt jacks. Damn you rule of cool. Damn you.
