Oops

I believe I said that I would get a battle report of the next game. Well, I forgot to take pictures or notes.... And this is only my 4th game.


The cliff notes version:

My list: Protectorate of Menoth
eFeora

Crusader
Dervish
Revenger
Vigilant

4 man Choir of Menoth
6 man Temple Flameguard
Vassal Mechanik

Oops, I was 4pts short.

Enemy list: Protectorate of Menoth

Thyra

Crusader
Vigilant
Castigator

Daughters of the Flame
Knights Exemplar

Knights Exemplar Seneschal


Opponent goes first.

Turn 1 has us both positioning our units. Daughters of the Flame take his right flank while Knights with the Castigator take his left, everything else in the middle.

I have the Flameguard on my right with the Dervish; Revenger taking the my left and everyone else in the middle.

Turn 2 sees my opponent get his Daughters in around my Revenger dinking it for a bit of damage. Nobody else of his gets into a fight.

I counter charge the Daughters with my vigilant taking them in the flank and getting 1 for my trouble and spreading my focus too thin. I use convection to take down a Daughter and put the Focus onto the Revenger who gets 1 more Daughter. The Dervish gets into combat and takes down a Knight and puts the fire effect on his Vigiliant.

Turn 3 sees my opponent pop his feat giving his entire army a free 2 inch teleport. He charges his Knights into my Flameguard and half the Flameguard goes down. His Crusader gets into my Vigilant's back arc and puts a bit of hurt on it. The Daughters break off and use their Acrobatics to go straight up my line to my warcaster but fail to hurt her. Thyra pops 2 inches, uses her Acrobatics to go through the line of Flameguard and gets into hand to hand with Feora. Ultimately she only puts 7 damage on Feora and starts to worry (it too all her focus to do that much). At this point the Daughters and Thyra are on fire for their trouble. Desperate, my opponent uses his Seneschal to charge my Crusader, puts a couple of severe but not system crippling hits on it and then Smite goes off and pushes the Crusader through the Daughters and into the warcasters. Daughters go down quickly and both warcasters taking negligible hits but are knocked down. That was the last activation for my opponent and he calls the game.

The game ended with Thyra still technically alive, but knocked down with Feora and a Crusader next to her and in the middle of my group.


Thoughts:
My opponent used a very gutsy move to get Thyra into combat with Feora, but a little bad rolling and a over-zealousness meant that I was able to take the day.

It was a good game a great lesson that there are old Warcasters and there are bold Warcasters, but there are few old, bold Warcasters.

The Protectorate forces grow

I've recently picked a Vigilant and Dervish. One of them will end up replacing the never-quite-satisfactory Redeemer in my lists.

Currently my 25pt list includes:

eFeora

Crusader
Dervish
Revenger
Vanquisher

4 man Choir
6 man Temple Flameguard
1 Vassal Mechanik

I'll take pics of the next fight and see if I can do a battle report.

So far so good. I really like the better control of what information goes to each group of people.
