Standoff
After my soul was ground to dust by staring at prospective houses for no purpose, onto the purposeless activity that...ungrounds...souls.....yeah.....
Arkadius1 (WWfF) - 2x Road Hog, 2x War Hog, 2x Gorax, Battle Boar, 6x Razor Boars, Efaarit, Orin, Targ, Swamp Gobber Bellows Crew
vs
Gorten1(Irregulars) - 2x Driller, 2x Gunner, Siege Crawler, Forge Guard, Herne and Jonne, Aiyanna and Holt, Horgenhold Artillery, Anastasia, Eiryss1, Orin1, Eillish1
I finally went all sensible and dropped the quad Road Hogs, adding in War Hogs in order to actually be able to kill Colossals and some Bellows screw for unit scoring or clouding up Arkadius.
Still the Efaarit as we lack a damnable CD changeover for the Witch Doctor at this point.
Going into Gorten? What is this madness?
Well, I know how to play this one anyway. All about not getting Arkadius killed and forcing him to use his feat for not the best trades.
Standoff, I win the roll and take first, there's a central forest and a hill for the other side. There's other terrain, it doesn't come into it that much.

Minion 1: The Efaarit moves forward, gets to plink one of the Advance moving Drillers for a bit then re-positions behind the forest.
The War Hogs go up on either side of the forest, the left most gets Forced Evo. I'm expecting to feat them as the initial suicide models for my feat and want to make sure the damnable Crawler dies. The Drillers have a far more tolerable and manageable threat range (Or so my own GOrten experiences tell me. Threat 8 heavies are a little sad.).
Arkadius puts up Aggravator, gets shielded by beasts, for he is a brave fellow. Raw Adrenaline is unlikely to be super maximised until Gorten pops feat and the Doc can be less afraid.

Mercenaries 1: Everything moves up, the Crawler pounds on the left most Razor Boar for lack of other targets. Drillers and Forge Guard run up. On the right Eiryss shoots a Razor, who advances forward and gets charged and stabbed by an Eliminator.

Minion 2: Feat and kill stuff time. The Irregulars haven't advanced super far, so it's get in their and force them to have difficulty contesting plan 24524.
The Battle Boar and right Gorax hide out on the right behind a rock, popping Primals on Razor Boars who run forward. Other Razor Boars move forward to be War Hog feat targets.
Arkadius puts Primal on both War Hogs, moves across, feats.
Off the feat the Primalled Razor Boars on the right kill two of the Eliminators, the War Hogs get forward and....kill the Razor Boars assigned to them. As.....planned......ya....
The War Hogs then charge forward, they kill the Crawler and left Driller, then cripple both Gunners. Good times.

Merc 2: The Dorf wants to preserve their feat for a play that isn't directly dictated by me trying to control the game. How rude.
Gorten moves forward and puts down ye old safety wall.
Aiyanna and Holt engage the Forced Evo War Hog, miss the kiss attack.
The Gun Bunnies get out of the way, one of them imploding to a free strike.
Forge Guard charge in, kill the non-buffed Hog, Forced Evo proves to be pretty good and they do sod all comparatively to the other War Hog.
Kayazy, some solos and the remaining Driller move up on the right, killing a Razor Boar.
Alas, the slowness of the Irregular list bits it somewhat, as I get two CP's off my rectangle and the left zone, then I just send a Road Hog (Who advanced off a last minute Artillery shot) into the opposing objective and got to 5 CP's.
Accurate parody songs are nice, as they let me buy into the sound of a song I don't want to admit I like.
Key points here being that the ELiminators and Anastasia needed to be on contest suicide duty, that Crawler Anchor can't hold a regular battle line flank in this set up (Ossrum speeds the stubby's enough for it to work).
*Starts thinking of Gorten lists*
*NO! BAD BRAIN! WE SAID MINION FOR CANCON!*
