I was mostly curious if anybody did any battle report commentary. Not sure if it's useful, because I couldn't actually say too much about the game itself (mostly stuff died), and it's written from the view point of the other side of the table, but I have a blog post with some battle reports. Also, judging from the username, I might've played against welshhoppo in the final round. That you did. I'm quite sad that you didn't mention that I was the most handsome opponent. And I thought the assassination was pretty decent. Old Witch can hit surprisingly hard.

And Skarre 3 can be surprisingly resilient Anyway, the fact that you were my most handsome opponent was implied from the fact that you are Welsh

I'll have to pull out more dad jokes next time. It was interesting playing into the beast called Skarre, like I said i haven't played into her at all. In fact we don't play much Cryx down here, last time was in May and it was Skarre Stalkers and the time before that was January and that was Terminus Ghost Fleet.

The last time I played against Skarre3 was at L&L 2018. I feated with Vlad1 and cast S&P and walked a 3-focus Marauder 8 inches, and Skarre was like “Oh no I am a huge base, ow I died.” But anyway somebody dig up Wendan so we can make this thread a party, like in the old days.

Well its more my Opponenten making a mistake and me deciding I cant take a long game, but yes Can you share some more details of your games? About that game in particular? There isn't much to report. He played Rasheth 4 huge Bases, I played Strakov1. Scenario was Invasion and he went first. He advanced less than I would have thought and I advanced pretty normal. I had a little bit of doubt about moving strak1 up the full 6" and thought about not casting Ocucltation to camp 2 (he had a lot of eyless sight), but because of my ehm "situation" I didn't follow that train of thought enough and just cast occultation and moved 6 up. He saw the opportunits for a good assasination and used the Mamoth to throw Behemoth and Strakhov so he would be KD. Then Rasheth activated and moved forward. During that move he realised he forgot to give him eyless sight prior to moving, so he announced that his right side Poo-holder would give him eyless sight (which was okay imo since he was clearly in range of that model and he hadn't put down Rasheth). So he gets a Bloodmark and a sunder spirit on to strakhov dealing a bit of dmg. He then activates his Turtle to trample it forward. Before he does that he announces that is right side Poo-Holder gives the Turtle eyless sight. The moment between these 2 things was so short, that I didn't have time to react and he was already measruing the 12" to Strakhov when I noticed that that same Poo-Holder just had given Rasheth eyless sight. At that point we couldn't reconstruct the movement if the other Poo-Holder was in range and we called a judge. She decided that it was the turtles activation but without eyless sight. Thus the assasination failed and he was badly exposed. In my turn I calculated my assasination, because I wasn't really up to playing a long game, even though I probably could have killed 2 of his huge bases, if not 3. I took my time to not screw up and ende up killing the objective and the Surpeme Guardian to get Behemoth and a marauder onto Rasheth. Both with full focus and free charges but under agonizer and with 2 transfers. with the dmg from snipers Behemoth should have killed him on average but didn't roll well, but the marauder finished the job. I think thats its a playable matchup, but I should have played my deployment differently.

I guess your opponent wrestled defeat from the jaws of victory then?

Very True and excellent puns, I rate it a perfect score of 5/7

Interesting analysis (particularly for sand20go !) : Apparently Khador was one of Crucible Guard's bogeymen at the WTC.

Interesting analysis (particularly for sand20go !) : Apparently Khador was one of Crucible Guard's bogeymen at the WTC. I dropped OW2 into Syvestro double rail less. Was a good game, won on assassination. Whilst I had some trouble dealing with the super powered halberdiers with Doc at the helm, he had trouble dealing with the reavers and their decent stats. Turns out reavers are really good at killing trancers because they can stand at max reach and hack them down. Was also able to send a rager into one railess hit with a - 2arm debuff and destroy him by himself, getting in the way of the other railess.

Even with -2 ARM on the Railless, 3 focus, and a free charge, a Rager has very poor odds of one-rounding it.
