So, Vlad1 jaws vs OW2 jaws. Turn 1: everyone ran (shock!) Turn 2: his eliminators jammed my widowmaker marksman on one flank and jammed up the Jack line on the left. He gets a couple jacks into zones and sets up to start scoring and Jack trading. Vlad casts S&P but not before behemoth shoots his friend in the back of the head like a good Soviet, scratching his paint and incinerating the eliminators around him. The marauders combosmite the jacks in the zones out of the zones and the Kodiak hides on the other side of the forest from OW2's behemoth. The jacks on the right take care of the eliminators who are jamming the marksman. Pictured is top of 3 and OW2 is about to feat. After which the two marauders on the left were missing an arm each and the left one was also down a cortex. Meanwhile the two marauders on the right got knocked around a bit but we're not missing any systems. Additionally he slammed my war Doge into Vlad, doing no damage after focus but evaporating the pupper. Bottom of 3 everyone who was down (except derrpy mcderp with no cortex) stood up, Vlad feats casts S&P and watched a whole lot of things die. End of turn old witch had half a marshaled behemoth, a dinged up marshaled berserker (both knocked down) A&H&V, a really messed up marauder, and no Jack Marshalls. Vlad won on scenario at the end of his (OW2) turn. Our lists were really very similar and played essentially the same game, S&P is just so ball busting it's like having a feat every turn. There were several times I got to charge/combosmite one of his jacks into either an obstacle or another Jack for 5d6-0 drop the lowest damage. Why isn't this list played more???

Your picture doesn't work. I'd consider changing to Imgur, add it to a private album and then copy the link over. What lists were you using? Also, you should post more in the barrels forum and actually give it some life.
Seeing as I'm the most popular guy there, and my reports are dogganm awful.
But good game. Although I'm am curious as to why he took models off the OW when she is so focus efficient that it's crazy.

I hate auto correct.
I meant the battle reports forum. How that changed to barrels I have no idea.

Fixed the picture. I believe the marshaled jacks were that way for the increased pow. Pow 16 powerful shot and pow 18 berserker axes are pretty nice. My list plays alot with knock down though so it ended up less than ideal in this case.

Well, the Vlad has longer threats and buffs on everything instead of debuffing 1 thing, no wonder he wins with jackspam. OW2's only hope is to feat kill him.

Should not marshal stuff with OW2. She can fully fuel 7 jacks... Also Reconstruct...
I wouldn't write the matchup off in Vlads favour, sure he will get the alpha and S&P makes up for not being able to allocate focus. But good use of Reconstruct can swing trades in OWs favour and her jacks are going to be fully loaded. Vlad also has to be pretty careful, since he's usually going to be pretty low on focus she can kill him dead quite easily.

I feel like out of all the theme, jaws is probably the worst one for OW2, while it is probably the second best for Vlad1, no wonder the game went the way it did.

Yeah I don't mean to imply that I'm awesome, cause that's not the case. I'm just extatic that the list I put together worked as intended.
I will definitely be adding more battle reports as they happen but that doesn't look like it will be until after the holidays.

I always seem to have problems delivering my army in LoS, which Vlad doesn't really help with. He gives a nice bump to their offensive capabilities, but do you think that's enough in most cases? OTOH, about half the time my games devolve into a grindfest which ends in caster vs caster, a fight that Vlad likes.

Oh, my bad. I think I got this confused with another thread from somewhere else.

That's the best way to win in wmh.
