Round 3
put me into a Haley2 vs Kaelyssa matchup for the second time in a week. It went
well first time so am optimistic that I can get another win. Dan wins the roll
to go first.
TK on 3 of the Heavies and everything runs
up, with the Trencher team hiding out behind the building on the right.
I
struggle a bit with my placement this turn, but choose to just stay out of
range of any melee attacks on important models, and get as far up the table as
I can, anticipating a Feat from Haley next turn.
Charger
shooting reduces Issyen to 3 boxes, and some Ryssovass die. Other than that Dan
goes for a control turn, feating on 4 Defenders, Helios, AFG and Issyen, and TKing the AFG round to prevent it from
doing anything next turn.
Dan
positioned well to stop me from getting more than 1 jack this turn, so I choose
to take out Thorn, forcing Haley to need to get up close if she wants to TK my models. Kaelyysa Feats and Stalls Thorn and Helios pulls it in and
kills it. My Ryssovass run up to get in the way and keep Helios safe next turn.
Centurion is knocked down and Disrupted.
2-0 lead to me.
Dan tries
to clear out as many Ryssovass as he can but misses a few due to Def14 and I
roll well on tough, meaning that only 6 or so die. Issyen is finished off,
allowing Dan to clear his flag. 3-2 for me (missed a CP here, it should have
been 4-2)
Everything
is lined up for a strong attrition turn, and between AFGs, Helios and the
Ryssovass I am able to take out both Stormclads and the Avenger, with the
Centurion again knocked down and Disrupted.
I lead 5-2
Charger
shoots off Arcanist, Haley Time Bombs some
Ryssovass, but the game is up. 6-3
I push
the Centurion out of the left zone and run Kaelyssa in to win 9-4 on scenario.
VICTORY
- It was a very good matchup 3 games ago and it still is now.
- I like the list a lot, Ryssovass defenders felt good in this game as
there wasn’t too much pressure on them to 1 round the heavies as long as the
important bits were cut out with Precision
Strike.
- Moved to 2-1 in the event, but then dropped as I had somewhere to be.
- Liked the list pair a lot, it felt like it had a lot of options and even
when list chicken was lost (such as against Cryx) I still had game. Will be
testing it more and seeing how I get on
