Got a game in against the club against Borka2, who seems to be gaining a lot of popularity recently. More commonly seen in Dhunia theme, but I liked the look of this list from Ste. Ste wins roll to go first.

Borka fuels the stone and everything runs up. Pygs and one Bear unit is in Ambush.

Kaelyssa Feats, puts up Blur on the left unit of Sentinels and Refuge on herself. I move up, keeping most of my army out of threat range of the Fire Eaters

Ste takes out roughly half of the right unit, opting to leave the left alone so as to not trigger Vengeance. Raiders jam hard into my lines. Both Ambushers come onto my right flank. Borka feats.

I take out what I can with my Sentinels (under Iron Zeal) and Helios so as not to trigger the Feat. I don’t do particularly well though and only take out some Raiders, 2 Bears and 2 Fire Eaters. 0-0.

Ste cleans up on the right flank but again doesn’t want to trigger Vengeance on the left. The Earthborn and Borka himself combine to take out Helios, but leaves Borka on no Fury.

I can pretty easily get all 3 Destors and Kaelyssa’s gun into him, and that will come close, but I try desperately to find some more attacks. I take a Free Strike on a Sentinel trying to get in but he dies to it. Kaelyssa shoots at Borka, taking a few boxes of, before the Destors go in, rolling well to take him out to the box.

VICTORY

-      Probably quite lucky to win that one but was unluckly to lose Helios to some pretty hot dice

-      Pleased again with how well the list dug itself out of a problem

-      Raiders are an amazing jamming unit. AD, Def13, Tough. They were a real problem for my list.

-      Borka2 is legit, but Iron Zeal managed to deal with the list pretty well
