The opening 5 rounds of this team tournament are a round robin pool, so we'd gone down in our previous 2 rounds however if we win the next three then we can still make our intended goal of getting 6th.
Into the next round, most of the team has good matchups, so we line up pretty well. I get Legion in a matchup I'm quite confident in:
Minion Army - 75 / 75 points

Welp, no need to talk to long on this one.
I lose the roll and get given second, basically an open table for how it plays out.
Legion runs up. The only solo near their flag is a Spell Martyr, killing it means that scoring that point will be quite difficult. Ergo I run up a Razor Boar and Primal Shock it down.
Slight issue here....I'mno camp. Everything is spaced safely out of Legion melee threat, regardless of what Legion do I'm ggoing to feat next round and win on either attrition or scenario.
So......Carniveans have assault....

Basically everything Legion runs up the field, the Carni's get Puppet Strings and assault spray on Arkadius.
At the end of it, the good doctor is left on fire with five boxes. It doesn't go out, average damage dice easily bin him.
Woops.
In spite of my ingenuity at losing Green matches, the rest of the team carries through and we win the round.
