Legends of Halaak playd by a Praetorian swordsman unit leader, a Dawnguard Scyr and a House Shyeel Battle Mage.

Game 1 vs…

Typical advance, nothing to see here.

I run to engage and position my second wave.

A fairly effective shooting turn clears out all but 2 of my Nihilators. 

So it was here that I sprung the infinite attack Molik theory. I ran over the steps with my opponent and made it clear on the details. Then I said, do you want me to do this?

To which his answer unsurprisingly was. "No."

So I took this picture. Makeda is on the 12 incheck mark. Malik could trample over those Storm guard. With Train wreck up I could have spent a few minutes chipping away at Thunder head. 

However I didn't go that way and in stead scored 3 scenario points.

To which he responded by jamming Storm guard into contest.

Makeda in her natural environment, surrounded by storm nouns she took care of them.

Win on Scenario.  

Game 2.

Same lists. 

Same lists different scenario.

Nihilators go for the hills. The meat fans out in the middle. 

The Storm tower zaps out one of Makedas ancestral guardians and the electro leap kills the character who gives relentless charge.

With Makeda feat in play she charges up, kills a gun mage casts fate walker, casts an Eliminator. Wanders back into the scenario zone after clearing it out.  Molik takes a Train Wreck and clears off the other Storm nouns and half the Gun Mages and pushes Thunderhead  out of the zone. The Nihilators fail to clear the zone so I take 1 point domination.

Ok I am not sure what happened with this picture. What happened was Stryker threw out an Earthquake just clipping Makeda. He put a little damage on her but then the Arm was too much to deal with.
Thunderhead advanced to pulse but was counter charged by the Bronze back.  Oh that's right. So Thunderhead double handed the Bronze back at Makeda but it fell just short and deviated off behind her.

So I was looking for the scenario win then I realized Stryker was standing there with his pants down . So I forced Makeda up and charged in.

Makeda could not resist Strykers Elephant impersonation.

Win on assassination.

Game 3. e Kreoss and all the dude's tier.

At this stage I assessed the state of the board. Sacrosanct was on the Temple Flame guard.  

I considered an assassination run. I thought better of it. I consider it again. I rolled a dice and chanting the mantra of everyone who is about to put the game on some chancy dice rolls "a quick games a good game" I went for it.

That is of course, unless you are the Skorne Empire.

Makeda gets spaced cleared for her. She charges a flame guard. Feats. Free Eliminator 3 more then casts Train Wreck on herself. (which I now know is Illegal, however wouldnt have effected the outcome of this turn much) She advances over the wall, Ground zero kills 3 more, attack Beat Back, attack Beat Back,  attack Beat Back. I could have kept going but left a lane for Molik.

Molik takes Enrage and charges, Sidesteps Train Wrecks his way into position and then with Prescience rolls exactly what he needs when he needs it to kill Kreoss to the box. 

Game 4 same scenario vs High Reclaimer.

So he jams up outside the scenario. Chior leading the charge, clouds covering the advance.

I respond by counter jamming with my infantry and positioning Makeda, Molik and the Bronzeback.

He spends a turn contesting the zone and killing Nihilators.

Molik and the Legends of Hallak clear the zone and put some damage on the scenario. Makeda goes deep. Too deep.
I used the fatewalker animus on her to cleqr out a chunk of his infantry with feat. However I should have used Train Wreck and cleared out all of the infantry with her and the Bronzeback.
Although if I did high reclaimers 45 something focus would ruin me, probably.
The safest play was probably commiting the Bronze back. Yoyoing in and out of the front line with Fate Walker on Makeda and Molik and then pulling back on scenario.

But I went too deep with Makeda, pulled back to score a scenario point and got jammed with feated Bastions.
Molik went down, the Bronzeback went down. All I had were the Legends of Hallak. Makeda was engaged with 3 Bastions and an Errant.
She couldnt clear them all out.
So she took a free strike in order to get to a position where she might survive the next turn. Howerver the free strike killed her. 

Loss by assassination.

Reflecting on that game. I could have sent Makeda straight for the high reclaimer, however I wasnt sure if his souls converted to armor. If they don't I definitely should have tried, but I kind of disnt want to do the same thing I did last game.
