Trollkin Highwaymen - Leader & 9 Grunts: 15
Dhunian Knot - Leader & 2 Grunts: 6
Objective: Fuel Cache
Scenario: Standoff
Terrain: 1 Small Forest, 1 Large Forest, Large Rubble, Obstruction (house), Hill
I go second.
Deployment:
Me - Caster in the middle of the board with Sylys, Soulless, and House Guard. One Phoenix on my right with 1 mechanik. Impy, second Phoenix, and both Griffons on my left with 2 Mechaniks. Halbs AM up and to the right.
Opponent - Caster in the middle of the board with all three units, Heavies on my left and MK on my right.
Round 1:
Opponent - Army moves up cautiously keeping out of charge and shooting range.
Me - Thane moves and does his thing and Repos. the Halberds Shield Wall and march 11" further up towards the center zone. I spread them out since they are within range of the MK. Vyros Cast Mobility moves up and casts Inviolable Resolve on the Halbs. Impy and Griffons move up left flank and possition behind the building. Both Phoenix move forward towards the center of the board. I make a huge mistake and move one into a forest within range of both heavies and the highwaymen. Support models all move up.
Round 2:
Opponent - Gunny casts guided fire, and then he, the heavies, and the Highwaymen shoots the Phoenix off the board. MK assaults, gets 6 Halbs and damages the other phoenix. It then kill shots taking out all but one of the halbs and also killing a mechanick.
Me - Realizing I made a big mistake I decide to try and pressure Gunny. the Last Halb, Thane, and soulless try and open a charge lane for the Phoenix into middle of Highwaymen but fail. Vyros moves out from cover to keep jacks in command and casts mobility. Phoenix charges but can only take out 2 Highwaymen. One griffon moves to try and protect Vyrso but comes up short I wanted him just far enough away to prevent a charge and keep Vyros out of spray range. Second Griffon charges into highwaymen and takes one out. Impy gets fueled up and charges in to the highwaymen sidestepping into the bomber but can't do enough to even take out a system.
Round 3:
Opponent - Bomber and Dozer take out Impy. Highwaymen take out Thane and damage Phoenix. MK takes out one griffon and finishes off the phoenix while getting two sprays into Vyros.
Me - Seeing that all hope is lost I concede.
2017 Steamroller: We both took fuel cache but it ended up not mattering much at all. Final scenario points were 1 to 2 Again so that didn't' matter at all either.
Mistakes - Oh soooooo many mistakes this game. Biggest ones were probably forgetting about kill shot which let the MK completely destroy my Halbs, and moving my one Phoenix into the forest instead of leaving it outside to block LOS. Other than that it was more of the same: spreading myself too thin and giving up models too easily.
I didn't realize the voidtracer wasn't in theme (not a big deal) so I have 2 points to spend on my list.
Probably play this list once or twice more to see if I can make it work for me but I think I need to change my focus and work on a list that is a little better at cracking ARM (something my Helynna list doesn't do well either). I'm thinking Elara2 with the Defenders theme.
Sorry no pictures again. I'm still getting used to my new phone.
