Battle at Lund Team Tournament Game 1: Ossrum vs Gunnbjorn

The next day, I was randomly paired into a team for the team tournament. The number of teams was odd, and our team was he one to get a buy. So, instead I had a game against my team mate Joe Jephson and his Trollbloods.

I haven't written down his list but it had two Earth Borns, mauler, Dozer, a bomber and a some kind of storm troll. Since I wasnted a game to learn something from, I pointed out to my opponent that I have a 23" threat range KD gun on Avalancher, and that Gunnbjorn can use EB-s animus to become immune to KD.

We both deployed rather centrally. My intent was to go for dominating my own zone, while contesting his and trying to weather him down with shooting.

I put up snipe on Avalancher and FFE on an artillery, and run everything up.

Gunnbjorn advances cautiously, hiding the bomber behind a forest, and preparing to contest my zone with his storm troll. Dozer takes two dwarves and an artillery (so a usual crewman dies instead). No feat yet.

Since he hasn't feated, it's too early for me to feat as well. I advance and start doing work on Dozer. Some bunnies are further away, in preparation for massive jamming and contesting action. Spray bunnies are forward to act as shields.

Gunnbjorn goes into his zone and feats. Bomber and Dozer do more work on my dwarves, and also damage some bunnies. He goes to one point.

The storm troll is out of feat, so I kill him. Dwarves and driller are sent into attack, while bunnies run to contest and jam. Three bunnies are kept in reserve to kill Dozer later. I score, so we go to 1-1.

He kills two bunnies and a dwarf, and fails to finish the driller. Score goes to 2-1.

I kill Dozer, block the Mauler outside of EB-s' melee range, kill the objective and to to 4-1. Since he can' contest my zone, I go to 5-1 and win.

Lessons learned:
1. Dozer is a very high priority target.
2. In correct hands, this match up is attrition-wise bad for Ossrum. If it were not for the scenario, he would have won the game.
