Played a Press Ganger

[LordCommaderCavanaugh]

I played a press ganger tonight. He was totally the nicest person I have ever played Warmachine with. He played Khador, and I played Cynar of course with one of my anti legion lists. His list was pretty hard to deal with and he ended up winning after about a two hour game. I was able to kill his DEF 20 acrobatic assassins, which surprised him and I greatly.

I used positive charge on Ol' Rowdy, and Path to Victory, from rune wood on the sword knights. So, they went from MAT 7 to MAT 13, with flank taken into consideration.

Original MAT: 7
Flank MAT: 9
Positive Charge MAT: 11
Path to Victory MAT: 13

So, I was able to hit the DEF 20 acrobatic assassins after they ran something like 20''.

In the end he ended up killing me with the behemoth and the party wagon lobbing shot after shot at me after I had take almost all of his infantry and is Dracon, or Draco off the table. Pronto-ing up my centurion then walking it and using polarity shield really gave him some anti-charging problems, especially when all the sword knights were in two behind the centurion so that any charging infantry had to take free strikes from the centurion, but even though I camped all focus and siphoned on from the squire, he was able to over come my ARM 23 eStryker and take me out for the count. He was a really fair opponent and a really good one at that.

What was the rest of your list? How many points?

[LordCommaderCavanaugh]

We played fifty points.

I believe it was

eStryker
squire
Ol' Rowdy
Sword Knights (max)
-Sword Knight UA
-Centurion
Black 13th
Rhupert Carvolo
Archduke Alain Rundewood
Journeyman warcaster
-Hunter
Captain Arlan Strangeways
-Hunter
Gun mage captain Adept

That should be it right there. I never could get my hunters to engage the behemoth. It was always so far back. Everything else that got to close, the party wagon, and the guy on the horse, dracon I believe, got torn up by the hunters. Two hunters and the Black 13th are almost an aut-include in my lists purely, because hunters have extended control range and parry and pathfinder. They really do a lot of awesome. In all honesty that centurion should not have been jack marshaled, but eStryker didn't have the focus to run him and Rowd
