Game 3 of SR. Useful practice game into Convergence and I don’t see them often. I win first turn.

Everything runs up, staying out of Feat and shoot range of the TEPs. Cast Synergy.

Convergence run up, with all but 1 Reflex Digging In. Casts Battle Charged.

I manage to clear out reflex Sevitors pretty well with guns and Infiltrators, and push back one of the Conservators. Infiltrators jam and Vyros Feats

Axis gets up the table and Feats, catching the vast majority of my forces. TEP sprays take out about half the Infiltrators on each flank, but he is careful not to trigger Vyros’ Feat. 0-0

Axis’ Feat means I can’t get into melee, so concentrate on shooting instead. I have decent success, taking out one Conservator, and knockdown-disrupting another. More Infiltrators move up to jam the TEPs. 0-0

More clearing out of Infiltrators and the Invertor comes in and takes out one and a half of my lights. 0-0

I finally have a strong turn of attrition, building up a Synergy chain before taking out the Invertor and the right TEP, clearing both outside zones for a 2-0 lead.

I have kept Vyros pretty safe but Stuart still has a long shot assassination on me. The Flare hits but he can’t roll well enough on the other attacks and Vyros is left alive. 3-0 to me.

Axis is right out in the open, camping very little. I take him out, winning 5-0 on scenario at the same time.

VICTORY

-      Useful game into Axis, he always seems to be the Ret drop.

-      The shooting of the list did a lot, but I always felt like Vyros was a bit too vulnerable. The central building certainly helped

-      Relieved to get onto the score card at the event, I really didn’t want the spoon…
