OK. Saturday I had one of those games that once again underscored why WM/H is such a great game and such a worthwhile hobby. It really goes to the "smart" game design of its creators.
I am playing my Butcher 3 Binki (Devestator for the forum confused) list. Great fun. Lots of murder). Opponent has Child on the table and that isn't a great match up (good for me) since he has 4 swarms and I just have Butcher, Andy0 and Ruin with Magic weapons. Also note, in the latest version I switched out Archon for Hermit. Not sure if good or bad given how game went.....
Game hinges on at least FOUR dice rolls.
1) Butcher gets an early lead but I lose wardog who gets forcehammered off my flag. Acceptable if sad loss as I am getting scenario pressure having lost the roll.
2) At a great point in the game I have that Great Butcher decision - go in or not. I decide that Child can die but SPACE the arcana. Oh no. Rather than energize "early" I energize late and get "arcana'ed" and this leave butcher a 1/4 inch short of being able to get to Child. Drat and double drat!!!
3) So Butcher feats and sits on 6. Hermit runs to get him in 8
4) COunter punch time. He just misses killing the Butcher and leaves him on ONE!!!!
5) OK. Can win game if I can get to three. I probably also could have killed CHild but want the scenario win and it wasn't a sure thing. Butcher starts killing and eventually leaves a skin and bones on 4 points which needs to die!! Oh no....but
6) I got eliminators!! One goes in and autopoints for 2....but eliminator number 2 rolls double 1s on her first swing and doesn't break armor (so just autopoint) on swing number two....but....!!!
7) I got a BINKI!! I walk over and get B2B and rain of death. Boost. Dead S&B....but.....
8) Butcher is in the blast zone!!! I roll.....a 10!!! Butcher now is dead....but....
9) Tough roll....a SIX!!!! Butcher lives!!! But......
10) I dumbly left an argus out of the zone. I can't score the circle (I think but might have screwed this up for dramatic effect). but.....
11) I got ANOTHER Binki. It walks over and rains of death B2B with the argus who didn't move. Andy runs to contest. I score 3. Game for the good guys.
