Woops, let this decline somewhat. Limited games, real life garbage and spending to much time listening to a breakdown of a conspiracy theorist isn't have the best effect.
Anyway, it's Jaga. Awful compromise list with min boomhowlers and Bone Grinders in it for ffs. Even has Kwaak with a single Swamp Troll (Targ can just heal him after he cuts! Genius!).
Eugh. Awful.
Alas, intellectually knowing something isn't enough for my primitive Bonobo brain, so let's geet our teeth kicked in.
Time and laziness means sod hte blow by blow.
I get first turn, stuff moves up a bit. Cryx moves forward, I then get a turn of furtive positioning trying to bait a couple Slayers trying to kill the Gravewinded Dracodile, while various Gun attacks kill most of the Arc Node. There's also a clutch play of Jaga herself just killing an Arc Node with Deadweight, which stops a Slayer from being able to go in and kill Skarath.
Cryx bottom of 2 end up running nearly everything forward and jamming me up, score a couple control points. Gaspy toes the centre zone and feats.

Top of 3: I've got three critical plays that need to work out here to ensure I don't get thumped.
The first is out on the left, where Kwaaks Swamp Troll slams a Slayer, which frees up and Efaarit to move up and contest the Cryx zone, where it finishes off Denny's Arc Node.
Centrally Jaga had dropped all the upkeeps, waits for Boomies to charge in and do sod all. Some Gridners and Boomies then then get feated away, they do a greeat deal of damage this way (dice off 2, boosted signs and portents. No Unyielding or Carapace does good).
Last clutch is the the right Efaarit going up and shooting the solo on the Cryx flag (Was a rpoxy model, can't remember what it actually was).
All that was looking pretty good. Alas, I made a critical miscalculation in that the Dracodile can't move around the base blocking him up, so can only kill two Slayers instead of the three needed to clear the centre zone and have scoring parody. Imph.

Bottom of 4: Ultimately the Cryx jacks are mostly damaged, howevery they have enough to keep contesting my rectangle and flag. I smash attritionally, lack of scoring however means that they pull ahead and get 5 up.
Bone Grinders and Kwaak under Fury'ed is jsut dumb stuff to try. Kwaak was fine himself, he jsut doesn't really fit in the list when I need a unit, a Dracodile and more Fury generation for Jaga.
