Wintercon rocked around, alas I wasn't really feeling it. Oblivion changes dropped within days after it, so the lists aren't super relevant anyway. I had the Gorten Galleon and Thexus max sprays list, though Cephalyx never saw the table.
Round 1 - Gorten versus Garry2
Tomo, so lovely. Elves, so a burning hate that I can't tell the jacks apart.
Epic Recon, there's a pair of opposing doom sled things, a suicide tough unit to contest and some MOAR GUNS.
I get first, stuff runs up. Elves shoot down most of a Pressgager unit, Garry hides behind the two Doom sleds.
Top of 2, Gorten gets punched up with the intent to push Garry2 into the killbox. Halfway through it emerges that the little git has repo 5 and this plan is awful, so Gorten walks back instead and all my shots go into one of the Doomsleds. Lucky Thrall Warriors manage to kill it off.

End of my turn 2, when things seemed possibly salvageable.
Unfortunately after that things get mangled. The Elves shoot off way to much of the BOard, including half the Galleon. I feat to get some points, however I can't close it out and get attritioned out with the Galleon dying trivially. Gorten ends up impaled on the bottom of....round 5? The game was functionally over the turn before.
Round 2 - Gorten vs Venethrax
It's Frawltator. We are both to lazy to reset the scenario from last round.
Venethrax whaaaaat. Slaughter Fleet. One unit of punchy Trolls, another of Belchers, running a bone node, Inflictor and Kraken. Support solo stuff.
Cryx run up, punchy Trolls on the right flank are safely ignorable. Initially both Colossals toe into a different zone in. Press Gangers die in groves, however the bunny jacks ping the Kraken a fair bit and I clear out the left zone for the early pair of points on the bottom of 2.
The Kraken ends up committing in, allowing Cryx to take over the right zone to counter score, however the Inflictor goes to run to Venethrax loses it's movement to a freestrike Pressganger.

No Shield Guard and the Kraken being in my face means Cryx lose their colossal and Venny gets Disrupted. I lol some Bunny shots into him, think he gets away with about ten boxes. Gorten feat pushes back stuff on the left.
The auto scenario win is stopped by Eilish casting and using his teleport to get to the left zone as the punchy Trolls get in amongst the Bunny Jacks. Cryx have taken to much damage by this point, so the Galleon and bit attacks unjam everything and I cruise to an attrition win on CP's.
Round 3 - Gorten vs High Reclaimer.
Crab baskets. Don't have a good Reclaimer drop. Gorten moves to far forward without enough cover, top of 2 the Judicator pops him in. Whoops.

That was enough of that, I surrender to my sloth and drop out. Gorten/Galleon ultimately proved more cute than good I can only picture the horror that would have been Gastonne popping off. The list would need a major re-jig before Oblivion anyway.
