Addition of a Reckoner since our last range of making zooming noises with little metal/plastic people.

Deployment: Stuff! Both sides have glorious trenches. I got second, nabbed the side with a hill rather than a sure to disappear cloud.

Round 1: Ossrum gets Bullet Dodger, Eiryss gets Snipe. Stuff runs forward.

Merc 2: I've gone first so plan is to get the Disruption train going and put the Basher to threaten the Menoth flag. So that happens, Eiryss enjoys camping out in the trench and Disrupt love taps the Reckoner.

Menoth 2: Things advance, the Heavies go into the trench. Choir chants battle. Everything focus fire on the Basher, maul the hell out of it. It's all system go, but only because Rhulic jack grids are amazing, it only has columns 3 and 4 going, even those have lost some armour boxes.

Merc 3: Well, I obviously can't hang around being shot all day. Its feat and alpha time. Plan is to disrupt and slam the Castigator away, neutralizing it, while the Driller kills the Reckoner.
Gunners advance and knock off a pair of Choir, Ossrum feats and hangs around, not going to the flag in remembrance of the other times I got greedy and horribly died.
Eiryss aims and disrupts the Castigator.
Driller charges into the Reckoner, rolls not great but at least lands some damage.
Basher slams Castigator away, buys an attack on the Reckoner knocking off its arm.
Bunnies kill a pair of choir and hide Ossrum.
Orin wonders off to the left because he has sod all to do at the moment.

Menoth 3:Malekus ponderously advances, feats, spray attack blows up the Basher.
Driller gets pinged, loses about a third of its health but keeps on trucking.
Bunnies get set aflame by the Sunburst, one loses its movement.

Merc 4: Fire pings all the jacks, Driller loses its movement and left arm.
Malekus is out in the open, so I have two plans. Eiryss can move over into range and strips his focus, then I can use Unstoppable force, Energiser and Bunny shots/two Drill attacks to kill him.
Eiryss moves over, fails to land the seven, so back to attrition/scenario it is!
Ossrum gets Arcane Assist, moves to my flag to start the score train. I fire off a Strangehold at the Castigator, if this works out then I can happily keep the Driller alive another turn to wreck lights.
I miss.
Well, its not looking great now. Driller only has one focus, but manages to kill the Reckoner with a reversal in dice fortunes (Damnable d6 bell curve).
The Spray Bunny slams the Arc Node light into the Castigator, which the Gun Bunnies then shoot the Cortex off of. Orin moves up a little bit, lightnings the flamethrower guy to kill the last two Choir guys.
Mercs go to 1 CP.

Menoth 4: Malekus, the Flame Thrower and Sunburster shoot up the Bunnies, one Gunner is short a Cortex, the other and Sprayer lose their movement.
The Castigator has no issue removing the Driller.
Mercs go to 2 CP.

Merc 5: Attrition is looking pretty pants, I contemplate the assassination again, if any of the Bunnies could Slam it would be on, but that isn't happening (Slam Castigator>Eiryss focus strip>Gun shots>Lightning>Handcannon>Strangleholds). Scenario it is!
Ossrum fully boosts the damn stranglehold to get it off on the Castigator, it works this time. He hangs on the flag and loves it.
Eiryss aims, Disrupts Malekus. Orin lightnings for a few damage points here and there. Bunnies get rid of the Arc Node jack.
Mercs go to 3 CP.

Menoth 5: No focus makes Malekus a sad boy, things advance up and the Sunburst removes a Gun Bunny, but its too late for the Menites to stop the scenario win.
I like to think the game finished and Ossrum immediately said "We're done!" and damn well legged it.
Happy how this one played out, its good for plans to fail at times. Finally got to use Stranglehold.
