Kolgrimma is everywhere at the WTC. Time for another rep, this time against Gary’s all Ambushers list. I go first.

Deceleration and run.



Gary moves up, pushing harder on the left where I’m weaker and holding the right down with the Raiders.

I move up and take out the Raiders, positioning so that if Ambushers want to take out a Griffon Gary is going to have to Feat.



Ambushers come on, Kolgrimma Feats and Gary takes out 2 Griffons. Thankfully, being a dead scenario nobody scores.

I have a huge attrition turn, taking out all 4 Bears, 2 Champions and the Mauler. Vyros Feats but has no Shield Guards. 0-0



Gary looks for an assassination, but unfortunately for him a huge damage spike essentially takes it off the table. Valka needs to get out of the way and so charges the Aspis, and takes it out in 2 hits, allowing Vyros to advance into range of 2 Shield Guards. Kolgrimma gets the Stationary, but Vyros is protected from the Bomber shots, surviving pretty comfortably (we rolled it out as if I had no shield guards, and I still survived on a decent number of boxes) 0-0

I start playing an attrition turn before losing interest and shooting Kolgrimma to death.



VICTORY

-      I still think this is a good match up for Vyros, with the key being able to send one griffon off to fairly reliably neuter a Bear unit.
-      I am more scared when the bears deploy normally, as this allow the threat to be projected a lot earlier
