Terrain:
Going from left to right in Brisbane?s deployment zone there was a circular hut centered in the zone at the forward edge of the deployment zone.
Going from left to right in the area between deployment zones, there were two buildings on the far left maybe six inches off the left board edge, these buildings did not come into play at all. Then along the center line was another building that was adjacent to the mosh pit area. Then the mosh pit (we use a big piece of circular felt). On the right, centered on the centerline, about 8 inches off the right board edge, was another building.
Going from left to right in Vlad?s deployment zone there was a square building centered in the zone at the forward edge of the deployment zone.
Brisbane won the right to decide player order and elected to deploy and go first. From my point of view from left to right after advance deployment his forces were set up as follows: The Defender, Brisbane and the Ironclad were set up to the left of the hut at the front of edge of the deployment zone. Reinholdt and the Stormsmith were behind Brisbane. The hunter advanced deployed 16? to my far right, roughly 8? from my right table edge. The Trenchers deployed 16? forward directly in front of the pit area.
Vlad?s forces were deployed in a line at the front edge of deployment from left to right as follows: Drakhun on the far end of the line, probably 10? from my left table edge, Iron Fang pikeman in groups of two shield walled with the Kovnik behind. Then there was a 5 inch building in my deployment zone, then the Juggernaut, the Man-O-War unit shield walled with each other next to him. The widowmaker marksman was AD 16? to my far right roughly 8? off the right board edge.
Turn 1 Brisbane
Brisbane assigned one focus to each jack. The Trenchers advanced into the pit area and dug in. The hunter moved up to the building on the right and hid behind it. The stormsmith advanced toward the building, the defender ran toward the mosh pit, but stayed just on the edge of it. The ironclad, siege and reinholdt ran toward the mosh pit as well.
Turn 1 Vlad
Vlad assigned one focus to the Juggernaut. The Drakhun ran and hugged the left (non-pit) side of the building adjacent to the pit. The Iron Fangs advanced slightly to the right toward the pit, staying shield-walled in groups of two, toward the pit. The Kovnik ran between them. The ManOWar unit shield-walled directly forward. Vlad cast Assail on the Juggernaut, advanced to the right, centering himself behind the ManOWar unit and cast Transference on himself. The Juggernaut ran forward, but didn?t run his full 8?. The Widowmaker marksman didn?t move, took a shot at a dug in trencher and was just out range by a quarter inch. (nuts!!)
Turn 2 Brisbane
Brisbane assigned 2 focus to the defender, 1 to the Ironclad and 2 to the hunter. The Stormsmith moved to the left away from the building to get LOS on the Drakhun. The Drakhun elected not to countercharge. (Okay, okay, I forgot). The Stormsmith made his Stormcall skillcheck, but did no damage to the Drakhun. The Defender maneuvered away from the mosh pit to get LOS at the Drakhun (he was not within 6? to countercharge) and boosted his attack and damage roll and inflicted 5 points of damage. The trenchers stayed where they were and the Ironclad moved up among them. Brisbane took two shots (because of Reinholdt) and the Hunter took a shot at the Juggernaut and they did about 12 total damage but didn?t take any systems out. Brisbane?s boosted damage roll was not that good.
Turn 2 Vlad
Vlad assigned no focus to the Juggernaut, but upkept Assail and Transference. The Drakhun didn?t move and used his shield cannon to kill the Stormsmith standing in front of him. The Kovnik advanced into the Mosh Pit and hit the Ironclad with an Axe Cannon shot, doing about 4 points of damage to the warjack. The Juggernaut then attempted to charge the Ironclad but came up about 1.5? short. I was pretty sure he was short, but since he charges farther with assail then he does with running, I just failed the charge. (If I would have ran my full 8? the previous turn, he would have made it.) The IF Pikeman ran into the pit and 5 were able to engage the Ironclad and 3 of the trenchers, the last one just couldn?t get in. The ManOWar advanced in Shieldwall forward, moving slightly left toward the pit. Vlad advanced behind them and then cast Hand of Fate on them. The Marksman advanced toward the trenchers, hit an unengaged trencher at Def 17 and killed him.
Turn 3 Brisbane
Brisbane assigned 2 focus to each warjack, leaving himself with none. He then activated Brisbane, moved him forward into the pit behind the right end of the trencher line and popped his feat. He used Ground Pounder to cover three ManOWar and Vlad with the template. The shot hit all three ManOWar, but missed Vlad. The damage to each ManOWar was 4, 6 and 7, because of the feat. But thanks to shieldwall, all three were still alive. Brisbane then took another shot at the ManOWar that had 4 damage and inflicted two more. The hunter then took a boosted shot at the same ManOWar and despite boosted armor piecing damage, was only able to inflict 1 point, leaving him with 1 point of damage remaining. The Defender boosted his hit and damage against the Kovnik and with Seige?s feat, killed him easily. The Ironclad moved up and engaged one Iron Fang Pikeman and the Juggernaut. He promptly wrecked the Jug and killed the Pikeman. The Trenchers then Assaulted the Pikeman, but only one was able to make an actual Assault attack. The Trenchers did manage to kill two of the Pikeman, forcing a massive casualties check, which they failed.
Now, the game should have ended here as I had no non-fleeing units in the mosh pit but neither of us recognized what had happened.
Turn 3 Vlad
Vlad upkept Hand of Fate and Transference. The Marksman targeted a trencher in front of Brisbane and killed him. Vlad activated and moved to the left around the ManOWar unit, cast a boosted to hit Razor Wind at the other trencher in front of Brisbane and killed him. Then he popped his feat and 5 ManOWar and 1 IronFang felt the Blood Legacy of their ancestors. With the path cleared and the speed gained, the 3 wounded ManOWar were able to charge Brisbane, the first inflicting 16 damage to him, the second killing him. The third killed Reinholdt because of his contempt for the gobber.
So a caster kill victory for Vlad... or so we thought.
Regardless, it was a fun and interesting game.
