Outlast
On the verge of the exit walk, more dollies happened instead.
Arkadius1 (WWfF) - 3x Road Hogs, 3x Gorax, 8x Razor Boars, Battle Boar, Orin, Hutchuck, Targ, Gatormen Witch Doc, Bog Trog Trawler
vs
Orion1 - Axiom, Corollary, 2x Obstructors, Reciprocators, ADO, Steelsoul, 4x Enigma Foundries
I dislike Arkadius into the Axiom. Lack of pathfinder and stealth models makes the counterplay difficult, with the best play being to kill it on feat turn. But then, that'd be attrition and we don't want that.
Convergence is also in general not that simple to assassinate, so that's annoying.
I lose the roll, get given first. This is a manufactured end of the terrain, the central forest impedes me equally from both sides while Mage Sight neuters it for CoC regardless.
What Convergence does gain by their choice of side is not having to deal with a wall that would disrupt the Axiom's movement. It' probably the most valid terrain related decision on the board. Both sides also gain a cloud, there's an irrelevant forest on my left, the right zone has an obstruction for Convergence and a wall for me.
Well, that was shonkily put. Look at the pics instead.
Also shoddy play incoming. Mistakes were made.

Round 1: I continue to proxy awesomely with Dahlia, against the far less cool proxy of Syntherion for Orion (Let's face: Syntherion is the unholy merging of a pocket knife and a vibrator).
Piggies run forward. Attempting to avoid the foul falafel that was having to move a Road Hog without featy goodness of last game, I only position two to receive sweet Raw Adrenaline, putting Forced Evo on the Skarath Road Hog further forward.
Everything sticks shy of Axiom walk and drag range.
Axiom moves forward, Obstructors curved around it. Medium based Shield Wallers toe into the left zone next to the Steelsoul. ADO goes extreme left. Orion stays way up the back with the Enigma's.

Minion 2: Let's try for the assassination, with the attrition plays of killing the Reciprocators and hurting the Axiom for a later round kill.
A Rabo charges up and kills the Steelsoul, it missed the Defensive Strike.
Hutchuck ambushed in from the left, missed the four on the knockdown grenade on the Reciprocators. Balls.
Left Rabo's charge in anyway, they do a little.
Arkadius feats on stuff. I screw up, failing to move the right Rabo's, as missing in activations as Great Malenko off that album he was supposedly the central component of.
This means that the Skarath Rabo, who has Primal and Forced Evo, doesn't have a spot to get into the Axion and kill it by 2/3rds or so. This is going about as well as a facebook convo on the Circle group.
Road Hogs go in and assault various places, killing some infantry that'll come back. Two sprays go out, they do poorly on Orion sadly. Corrolary gets hurt a bit, two of the Enigma's get scratched up.
At the end of the day various Circle models die, but no complete units.
Realistically, CoC are just bad to assassinate into. Should have used the feat and RaBo's to get two Road Hogs into the Axiom and kill it. Le sigh.

CoC 2: Tennant was better as Killgrave than as the Doc. Deal with it.
This is pretty good vodka, I ponder as I lazily avoid writing the next stuff about gamez.
Obstructors basically shuffle out of the way. This lets the Axiom move up and kill the two nearest Road Hogs. Reciprocators swing around, taking out the third Road Hogs mind.
Enigma's float around, bring all the dudes back.
A popped Servitor scores the CoC flag, 0-1.

Round 3/Minion 4: Eh, I'm just not into writing this one, basically involves retreading not being enthused about how I was playing.
I make some superfluous attacks and sprint my remaining Road Hog behind the left cloud.
CoC kills more shit, returns any dude I killed.
I then have Arkadius charge up for the final assassination attempt.
I have a potential Crippling Grasp, Flame Thrower, and an Orion Lightning leap.
The Grasp and the Road Hog spray both miss. That was enough for me, concede time.
