Game 230 - WTC test - Thexus1 vs Fyann2

Alas, mighty sickness prevented the test game against the evil robots (Though realistically no character or person of any depth is trivially labelled into one of broad 9 categories. Also, Myers-Briggs is bullshit. Just saying.).

Thus, a second pew pew stab stab bang bang mosh deal into Legion. This time seeing how the Fyanna game goes.

Recon2 was probably the right scenario to test, alas it does feel a little weary. Not true statistically in a comparison of final versions of SR2017 scenarios, since when have facts stopped emotions though?

Um....anyway, randomised Standoff. An obstruction in the middle and some scattered forests look like the sort of formation that I imagine Legion flying nonsense enjoys.

Unpack: My stuff goes forward. In a moment that felt super weird Thexus actually did a charge to facilitate the plan for the next round.
Legion responds as expected, stuff runs up. The Angels, one with Admonition, go the most aggressive, popping up behind the central obstruction. Fyanna actually feats, accepting my large threat range. Quite the nuisance.

They can't all go long: Things basically go my way far ahead of expectations. I run a Warden up, he arcs a Rampager that brings the Admo Angel forward out of Fyanna's control. Thexus then Hex Blasts to be rid of that pesky upkeep. He feats, pushing back most of the Legion beasts away from him, including sending the second Angel out into the open. He then walks toward the left, behind the forest.
The left Angel then gets mobbed by Pink Drudges and easily killed. On the right, Green Drudges get Adrenalled and charge the right Angel to get some damage on. They do two 2-Drudge CMA's with an Adrenal lead, I rolled better than I deserve and murder it. Sweetness.
Thrall Warriors run up and engage some stuff.

The end: Hail Mary time for Legion, the attrition lead already being tilted hard.
A Neraph manages to come in, Overtake through Pink Drudges and Animus to pull the Subduer away from Thexus out of Sac Pawn range. Fyanna comes forward and misses with a Gallows (for damage, plenty of blocking models). Seraph and a Sorceress do shots, they leave Thexus on 3 boxes.

Should have run the right Warden across into Sac Pawn range. Got a good general idea of what to do at least.
I'm not going to go into any Legion am I? It's going to be Ghost Fleet uphill struggles all rounds?
