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
