So the day
started around 11o’clock and it was a 50 SS tourney fixed master , primarily
wave 1 (although wave 2 was allowed for certain models). Also 3 set strats and
4 randomly chosen schemes. There was also a small achievement list and the
winner from the list got a miss Terious.
I brought
Ophelia and her crew. I became 7th out of 14 players, not too bad.
There were a lot of prices and it was all winter themed.
First was
reckoning so I brought an elite crew (Lenny, Francois, Fingers, Rami ) to the
fight against Ramos. The highlight was I killed Howard turn 2 since he overcommitted.
I took
breakthrough which I got 1 point for, and plant explosives which I got 3 VP
from.
I won the
game 6-3
Second
round was against the winner of the tourney with a rasputina list. The strategy
was reckoning, so I opted for a lot of bayou gremlins.
The
highlight of this game was that I couldn’t move Ophelia because of those dammed
ice pillars, so I got stuck behind them for 3 turns. I had to rely on jug
rocket to do some damage.
I took
bodyguard on Francois, but I overcommitted him and lost him in the last turn. I
also took distract and that worked netting me 3 VP for the distract. For the
reconnoiter I got 3 VP mainly because he took 6 ice gamin and snowstorm so he
could redeploy easier. Overall a fun and enjoyable game with some bad luck on
both sides. It was 6-6 draw in the end.
The last
round was turf war. I opted for a varied list with some low cost and high cost
models like Fingers and Francois and Lenny. My opponent was a guild McMourning
player and brought 2 dreaded austringers that are the bane of my gremlin existence.
I took protect territory which netted me 1 VP
in the end and I took murder protégé, which I took on nino. The reason was that
in that way he needs to hold nino back more because I announced it. He can’t go
out far and shoot. He needs to stay back and thus lowering his effectiveness in
the game. In the end Ophelia killed him and I got 3 VP that way.
It was
close until the end with McMourning and Sebastian both pounding first on
Francois and then on Ophelia which both died in the end.
After the
game there was a point swing because McMourning changed some schememarkers into
his schememarkers. It was a fun game, but I wished I had better cards ( the
best I drew was a 10 and draw the black joker every turn).
I lost this
game 6-9.
Overall it
was a fun day and I took home a laserlight to determine LoS. The sponsors were
Trinket and Tokens http://www.trinketsandtokens.net and Sheepgames.
Thanks Puppeteers for a great day and hope we can do it again soon.
