New Kaelyssa list trying to combine Rahn Defenders list with Kaelyssa Legions, hoping to cover both of their good matchups. Legion probably not the best matchup for it, especially with sprays threatening the Ryssovass. Mark wins first turn.

Mark runs up with everything.

All run. Refuge on closest AFG, Banishing Ward on Kaelyssa.

Occultation on one of the hellions, both put up no shooting bubble and move up. Rest of force moves up behind.

Kaelyssa Feat. Contest Mark’s zone with Defender, don’t want to commit solo to my flag yet. Both Hellions die. 1-0 lead to me

Battle Engines shuffle around, Stealth on the right one, left clears zone. Sprays and guns into central ryssovass, killing 6 or so. 2-1 to me

Helios kills Seraph, AFG and remaining Ryssovass kill Carnivean. Helios misses 2 of 3 6s to hit remaining Carni, hitting 2 would have pushed it out of threat, essentially winning me the game. Another Ryssovass contests. 3-1 to me.

Harm, Vayl’s Feat, and the Carnivean all get involved to take out Helios clearing the central zone for Vayl to score. 4-3 to me.

AFG slams a Blackfrost Shard member over Vayl, knocking her down and dealing some damage. Kaelyssa walks up and finishes her off.

VICTORY

-      Had Helios push worked he would have survived and been in a great position for next turn

-      Maybe should have been braver with Kaelyssa and switched Baninshing Ward onto Helios, and get to the hill camping 3. Would have been long odds for a Vayl assassination and Helios would almost definitely have survived

-      Like the list, more testing needed
