Round 2 sees me up against Daniel with Haley3, a match up that I’m pretty confident into with my usual Vyros2 list. Time to see if it is any better or worse with my new version. I win the roll to go first.

Vyros casts Synergy and Deceleration and everything runs up the table.



Haley spends her stack on Temporal Flux, Tactical Supremacy and her Echoes. Trenchers all move up, with the Infantry putting down a cloud wall to hold back the Infiltrators.



My main aim this turn is to take out the dog, but am not able to do so. I do take out a few pieces and take the melee arm off a Grenadier, but unfortunately a Trench Buster toughs. Vyros Feats.



The unfortunately alive dog barks and removes Stealth from a chunk of my Infiltrators. Shooting also takes out one of the Harpies, and Feat moves put Vyros into charge range of Haley. Daniel tries to block off the landing spot but fails to. 0-0.



I look at the assassination, but with needing to upkeep Synergy and cast Easy Rider the numbers just don’t add up, so play for attrition instead. I get a decent amount of work done, clearing the left zone and scoring my flag to take a 2-0 lead.



I have overstretched Vyros and he is shot to death by the Long Gunners and Jacks.



DEFEAT

-      Really struggling to keep Vyros alive in this list. Not sure if the issue is the list or me.
-      Standard Vyros list can tank the shooting so much better than this, and the extra 4” up the table really makes a difference.
-      Leaning towards going back to Forges version of the list
