Game 54 - Ossrum1 vs Maddox1 25pt There and Back Again


Nabbed a quick Frodo-ism, last day before we swap from 25pts to 50.

It remains:

Ossrum1 - Driller, Basher, 2x Gunners, Blaster, Orin, EIryss1, Sylyss Wyshnearnadfar

Its a rematch into Grand Ali with the most vile of the Warmachine factions:

Maddox1 - Ironclad, Firefly, Lancer, Jakes1 + Minuteman, Min Stormlancers

Take and Hold for the final time (I think we're swapping to The Pit for the next couple weeks). One flank of the table has a couple forests, then the middle of the table is dominated one side having a hill/trench combo versus Obstruction/Rough Terrain.

Deployment: I win the roll, select mighty first, get the side with a rock rather than a hill.

Merc 1: Energize, advance!
Bullet Dodger on Ossrum, Snipe on Eiryss, everything runs up. Basher end up the most forward next to the Rock.
Yeah yeah, Driller is still a Juggernaught model.

Cygnar 1: Maddox and Jake spend their mojo on buffs, Storm Lancers duck around the forest, the Jacks all start legging it toward the hill.

Merc 2: I have an assassination lined up and the last time we slogged it out my lower hitting power saw the odds plunge, so lets go with the slammy shooty murder time.
Ossrum feats, Energizer, falls back a bit in fear.
Basher then slams the Minuteman, lands the 10 to hit (Had Jakes' def buff), knocks him over Jakes and Maddox. Follows up, Flak Field kills Jackes. I didn't really go all in on the assassination, as I loaded up the Driller to kill the Stormlancers as my back up plan. Oh well.
Eiryss shoots Maddox, then the Gunners advance, hot dice leave Maddox in the ground.

Well, that happened. Doubt that'll ever work again.
