Clogcon 2017 Day 1 Game 3: Ossrum vs Grayle

Since I lost my previous game, I was not competing for a place in the invitational any more, so felt more relaxed.

My next opponent was Martina Haug with Circle.
I noted immediately that her lists aren't typical, and it turns out that her favourite caster is Grayle.

Despite the fact that she didn't have Baldur 2 or Morvahnna's infantry hate army, I decided to go with Ossrum. It just feels like he can do some awesome assassinations here.

Martina went with her Grayle army:

Wild Hunt
Grayle
- Pureblood
- Feral
Morraig
3 x max Wolves with free UA
5 Skinwalkers + Alpha
Death Wolves

I looked at the table and decided that my game plan would be assassination. I won the roll off and chose to go first.

On my turn 1, I ran everything forward and place FFE on one artillery.
I didn't make a photo after Martina's first turn, but she got Grayle into the trench with some other models nearby. Seeing the distances, I decide to go for the assassination.

The plan is simple: Feat, cast unstoppable force and charge Ossrum forward to where he will project the bulldoze zone almost to Grayle. Then, run a bunny to bulldoze models around and get one wolf within 4" AOE blast distance of Grayle. Then, boost a shot at the wolf with the avalancher to knock Grayle down. Finally, remove stealth and kill him with gunbunnies. Possibly first stripping fury with Eiryss 1.

The plan broke down when I failed to roll a boosted 8 on the Avalancher's shot.

Martina comes at me and is able to do some attrition but she can't kill the battle engine because of my feat and can't get to Ossrum. Next turn, I simply rinse and repeat (of course needed some clusterfuck-solving skills here). This time, I am successful with the knock down shot, and Grayle goes down.

Analysis

Nothing much to say here. I am sure that this match up is playable on attrition no problem. The bunnies should be able to remove this infantry very efficiently. I simply chose the simpler assassination option.
