For my second game, I got another excellent player to go against: Chrisopher Wedding with his Cygnar. I figured from his army lists that he'd take Haley 3 and decided to go with Cyphon. That's mainly because I, as many others, have come to associate her with the cloud wall, and that hurts Ossrum. In retrospect, that may have been wrong seeing as this list only has one minimum unit of trenchers.
With the scenario having an objective in play, my objective being Armory, and the option to have A&H swapped in from ADR, Ossrum could also probably deal with the Echoes.
Anyways, I go the chance to go first, and got the side with less defensive terrain. I forgot to make photos during the he first turn, and here is the snapshot from after my second turn.
As you can see, I have already made one very big mistake: I forgot to get my ambushers out. What you can not see is that I also forgot to allocate focus, so my monstrosities are still empty :(
In his turn, Christpher kills all the risen and Alexia, plus one wrecker, half the unit of left-most benders and the leader of right-most benders. The medium-range shooting of his army is much stronger than I could have expected.
I feat and take his grenadier, two lancers and another light in the center. Jakes' hunter is still contesting the right flag. I again forgot to ambush.
ARM20 is not a problem for baby haley to break with Ragman's help - she removes the left wrecker. Some more infantry is picked off.
I kill Jakes' hunter with the Subduer and score the right flag. A wrecker gets magic weapons from Armory and tries to kill Granny Haley but can't hit with either of the two boosted atacks. I also finally don't forget to ambush and contest the left flag.
Baby Haley kills the last wrecker, Granny Haley contests, a lancer jams. Left side is slowly destroying my slavers.
I do basically nothing this turn, there is no hope at all.
Cyphon gets killed.
All in all, not a very interesting game due to the massive amount of mistakes I made. It was entirely possible to not stupidly lose Alexia and not to play half the game at minus one unit. With those changes, I might have actually learned something meaningful form the game.
