NL Masters 2017 Game 3: Ossrum vs Makeda1

I went to NL Masters 2017 this past weekend. My two lists were:

Ossrum
- 6 Gunners
- 2 Blasters
Thor
- Avalancher
Kell
max dwarfs
2 artilleries
ADR: Eiryss1, Alten, Eliminators, Orin, Reinholdt, Aiyana and Holt
74 points / 35 in ADR

Cyphon
- 3 Wreckers
- Warden
2 Max benders
max Slavers
Alexia with Dominator
2 Agitators
ADR: Max benders, Warden
74 points / 21 in ADR

My third game was against Tobias Matt with Skorne. I played Ossrum and he had Makeda1.

I dropped a blaster for Alten.

Hist list was:
Makeda1
- Krea
- Agonizer
- Molik
- Gladiator
Orin
Max Cetrati + UA
Max Swordsmen + UA
Tyrant Commander
Min Beast Handlers

The scenario was extraction, and he got first turn.


I saw from his deployment that he would be going for the left flag. I deployed for a strong push on the left, with a spray bunny on the right to kill swordsmen and two snipers to keep plink at heavies.


He makes a cautious advance on both flanks, and puts quicken on Cetrati.


I advance more, observing cetrati charging distance, and keeping everything out of threat range of Molik without quicken (but inside it with quicken). I also shoot Molik with Alten and Kell, and Alten repositions.


He re-casts quicken on Molik and goes for Kell, but his dice are really low, and he fails to kill Alten. He chooses to sprint instead of boosting his last missed attack. Makeda is right in the open camping one. This is a clear assassination situation.

The proper assassination would have been: feat, cast unstoppable force and energize, charge something in the center with Ossrum to get his control area really far up the table. Then run the blaster bunny to bulldoze makeda into Gladiator, shoot the gladiator with Avalancher to knock down Makeda and the gladiator both, and then just shoot her to death.

Instead, I ran the bunny up to makeda and shot it with Avalancher, only to discover that Quake had to directly hit an Enemy model to apply. The rest of the game is of little interest. I just gave up a spray bunny and a really powerful shot for nothing, and the rest evolved into a grind that I lost on clock.
