This weekend was the North West
Team Championship which I attended with the England Roses Team (playing Trolls,
Cryx, Menoth and Crucible Guard). The tournament was run as a 16 team 3 round
event before splitting into round robin groups on the Sunday. For the first
round we played against the Merseyside Mammoths, a local team that I play
against regularly, with me matched up against Ryan Longthorne. We both knew it
was going to be Rasheth vs Vyros2 and with me winning the first turn we get
moving.
Deceleration
and run. It isn’t complicated.
Ryan moves up and arcs a spell into
Lanyssa, taking her out. He puts some shots into my jacks, dealing minimal
damage.
I take out the remaining slingers
with my guns and a single Griffon, using the rest to dance around the Skorne
threat ranges, knowing that Ryan would have to come in and contest the scenario
soon.
Ryan is able to take out my forward
Griffon, but it essentially takes his whole army to do so, with just a few
shots going into my other jacks. 1-0 lead to Ryan.
I decide to go for a strong
scenario push, hoping that Vyros’ sheer bulk can keep him alive the next turn.
I take clear both zones and take out 2 of the lights, scoring 3 to lead 3-1.
Ryan recognises his position as
assassinate or but so Feats, Blood Marks Vyros
and starts laying into him with his guns. It feels really close with just the
turtles left but they roll the 6 shots they need and take him out with the last
one.
DEFEAT
- Assassination was pretty much a coin flip, and I feel that I needed to
leave it on to get the attrition play that I needed, could possibly have had
another shield guard in range though
- Team won the round 3-2 so the loss didn’t change things too much, but it
was a stressful hour between my finishing (and another team mate losing) and
the rest of the guys pulling through
