Tournament: winter is coming (1-12-13) review

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.
