Gorten1 - Earthbreaker, Siege Crawler, Ninja Pig, 2x Kayazy Eliminators, Eiryss2, Harlen Versh, Anastasia, Thor, Aiyanna and Holt
vs
Vayl1 (Oracles) - 2x Angelius, Carnivean, Seraph, 2x Sorceress on Hellions, Forsaken, Spell Marty, Black Frost Shard
Scenario is Spread the Net, so each side has a defensive flag/rectangle zone and a centre unit zone.
I lose the roll, get given given first. This lumps me with a huge forest, though for once my list has a passable amount of pathfinder. There's an obstruction in the centre zone, which favours the Legion side. There's then a wall on the Everblight side just outside of hte Circle zone, various other terrain bits around that I don't think become relevant?

Merc 1: I apply the lessons of the last game and eyeball where the Crawler might need to go for scenario. The right defensive stone is somewhat ideal for the Earthbreaker to toe onto, so Pigs and the Crawler are on the left to potentially make scoring plays on the Legion Rectangle.
My unpack is basically along those lines, Pigs out left, Crawler and Earthbreaker going up either side of the central zone, Kayazy and other solos spread out, Gorten centre, Eiryss goes up behind the Obstruction.

Legion 1: One Angelius, with the Frost gives defence penalties upkeep, goes up behind the Obstruction. Mean.
The Carnivean gets Leashed, puts up Spiny Growth and goes up into the Circle zone.
Second Angel goes out to the left, toes the Legion rectangle.
Black Frost Shard Stealth themselves and move out to the right.
Seraph and Ravagore chill out in the back, spitting out a Scather Template toward the left.

Merc 2: The Carnivean is exposed and only one Angel can charge in, so the plan is to focus fire that beast down.
Aiyanna moves up and Harms him, then Holt/Harlen/Eiryss/Earthbreaker, happily shoot it off the table. Gorten goes behind the Breaker and pops out a wall, it won't achieve much but I have little reason not to.
Ninja Pigs and Kayazy go way out left, either they get to make a play for the zone or draw an Angel toward them.

Legion 2: The Black Frost Shard run up and contest my rectangle.
The rest of Legion compacts behind the Obstruction, one Angel charging the Crawler and theother beasts shooting it up, then falling back with Vayl's feat.
At the end of the process Aiyanna is dead, the Crawler is left one one box on top of a Scather template. No one scores points.

Merc 3: I want to pop both Angels and get the scenario lead.
Anastasia ambushes in from the right.
Brine gets smoked forward, pops Animus, charges the left Angel, I hit the boosted Charge, hard roll an 8 to hit on the second attack, boost the damage and kill it. Totes skill at work.
The Crawler aims, as it will die trivially and RAT 8 is the point of hte bell curve in my favour against DEF 14. The little guns chip at the Angel, the Cannons shoot the Ravagore but fail at Crit Fishing, does kill the Spell Martyr. Crawler then melts into a puddle.
Harlen, Holt and Earthbreaker shoot the remaining Angel, put it down to five boxes. The Breaker also faced toward the Black Frost Shard to clear it for scoring, killing the contesting unit member, the Forsaken and a Hellion Rider. The best.
Anastasia goes to the Legion flag, Rorsh moves to the defensive flag.
Gorten runs to be out of any charge range behind the Colossal.
Mercs go up 3 points.

Legion 3: The Sorcerress flies over, melts a Kayazy, Harlen and Holt. The Ravagore eats Brine. Seraph shoots down the Kayazy survivor, the Black Frost Shard attempts to stab Anastasia futiley.
Legion concedes before the inevitable scenario loss. I think there was a low odds ranged assassination, of the Seraph coming up and Vayl arcing spells, the odds were very poor though.
