Round
3 of the UK Nationals and my second against Convergence. Andrew
dropped Locke who, unfortunately, I hadn't been able to get a game in
against before the WTC. I won the first turn and we got moving.
I
had no idea how to proceed in this game, but it can be a pretty live
scenario if you can push on hard enough, so I eyed up that as a
possibility. To that end, everything runs.
Redline
is
put up onto the Prime Axiom and everything gets up the table, but
being careful to stay well out of my threat ranges.
I
decide to spread out pretty severely, trying to tempt Andrew out and
giving me the best opportunity to score zones next turn. The weakness
of this list has always been contesting the enemy zone on this
scenario, but that was a bridge to cross later.
Andrew
takes out one Griffon before Warpathing
the
Conservator back slightly. The rest of the forces push up and he
contests my zone to take a 1-0 lead.
I
need to take some chances in this game, and so I decide to push hard.
I shoot off the objective, contest Andrew's zone with a Griffon, and
score both circular zones to take a 4-1 lead and put Andrew under
some pressure.
However,
in my haste to score points I have left Vyros within 16” of the
Prime Axiom, so after a lucky Flare
scatter
lowers his defence, the Axiom runs up and takes Vyros out with
Jackhammers.
DEFEAT
Whilst
the Flare
was
a big deal (changed the Axiom from needing 8s to 6s) I shouldn't have
taken my eye off the ball in that way. I really had no idea how to
approach this game and was pretty please with the way I played it in
general, as I got Andrew to the point where he felt he needed to go
for the risky assassination. I need more practice into this matchup.
Vyros isn't a perfect drop into Convergence and when I start
investigating some of the new options we have, I'll be looking to see
whether we have a better option into lists like this.
