Played a 3 round Steamroller to clarify my lists for NWTC. Round 1 is the very close matchup of Haley3 vs Vyros2, so I’m pleased to get another practice game into it. Dan wins the roll to go first.
Haleys appear, Tactical Supremacy cast on the Infantry, everything else runs up.

Covering Fire is put up in front of the Commandos, Deceleration is cast and I get up the table as aggressively but safely as I can.



First round of shooting comes in from the Trenchers, spreading around a load of damage but not really taking anything out. Future Haley becomes Corporeal and so is a big target for next turn.

I’m looking for a big early attrition turn and do pretty well, taking out all but 1 of the Commandos, a few of the Infantry, Finn and Future Haley, recasting Deceleration and Feating. I lead 2-0.



Daniel’s retaliation is pretty decent, with the Hammersmith taking out a Griffon, the shooting taking out another and Past Haley taking out the Aspis. Feat moves manage to keep me largely contesting so Daniel only scores one to move the score to 2-1.



I push on with the attrition game, taking out both Jacks and Past Haley, along with a few more infantry models and one of the Trench Buster. The second Trench Buster toughs though, leaving it alive at the end of the turn. 3-2 to me.



Daniel feels forced into the assassination, shooting at me with Haley Future, Prime Haley and the Long Gunners, leaving Vyros on 8 boxes and a transfer. The Trench Buster then charges in and kills Vyros.



DEFEAT

-      This matchup is always close and this was no exception.
-      Without the Trench Buster toughing the assassination would have comfortably failed and I’d have been in a great position
-      Want to play the matchup a few more times to get 100% comfortable with is
