Having
seen how the Vyros/Kolgrimma match plays out Andy wanted to see if Grim would
fare any better. Andy wins the first turn.
Weald Secrets is cast onto the right Mauler and
everything runs up, with Rush helping
Mulg keep up
I
advance, staying out of threat of everything except the Earthborn
Grim
moves up and Feats, catching my entire front line. The Earthborn does charge in
and takes out a Griffon. Mulg sits right in my face, but just out of reach.
With Fleet I can get 2 Griffons to the
Earthborn, with another to build up Synergy
first, so I pull the trigger and do manage to take the Earthborn out. The
rest of my turn is just trying to protect Manticores from Mulg, so I run a few
pieces up and Feat. 1-1.
Andy’s
priority this turn is to score as many CPs as possible to put me under scenario
pressure, but the one real strength of V2’s feat is pretty much always being
able to contest, so after performing a lot of throws he only scores 2 to lead
3-1.
I play
for attrition and take out the Impaler, Mauler and Mulg, but Whelp placement
makes scoring impossible and means I have to commit Vyros more than I would
have wanted. 4-2.
Andy
really needs to win this turn, so either scoring 3 or killing Vyros. The
scoring is pretty much off the table so he puts together an excellent
assassination run with the Axer healing from Whelps to get to Vyros who had
been knocked down by a throw from the Mauler. Vyros is taken out.
DEFEAT
- Really fun game. I was pleased with how well my list stood up to Grim’s
Feat, and on a less live scenario I could have played a bit safer and probably
ground the game out.
- This and my Rahn list were submitted to the WTC and locked in. As of this
morning the lists have been revealed. I am so excited to get involved in this
amazing event.
