I played in a 50 pt sr2012 divide and conquer event down in Livonia. My lists were:
Constance (tier)
Gallant
Stormwall
Min PKs + UA x 2
Max SKs
Min mechaniks
Runewood
journeyman
Harlan Versh
Reinforcements (not used) minuteman and a charger
Nemo3 and new stepmom
Thorn
Stormclad
Defender
Storm strider
Stormblades with a Gunner
Stormcaller
Aiyana and Holt
Gorman di Wulfe
Reinholdt
Journeyman
Reinforcements black 13th, minuteman, Stormcaller.
In round one I played against phaley in a reinforcement scenario. Bunkers.
My opponent had
Phaley
Squire
Stormwall
Cyclone
Cyclone
ATGM w UA
ATGM
Arlan
Reinforcements was a Stormclad
I won the roll. I went first. Jr put arcane shield on the spider. Advanced, put Failsafe on my 'clad. He counter advanced and put up TB and arc shield. Lots of covering fire.
I deployed reinforcements. Black 13th killed 4 gun mages. Defender rocked the stormwall with a bullet. Everything else moved around. I positioned to score a point if he didn't clear up my flanking force.
He shuffled a bit too. Put up more covering fire. Deployed his stormclad and killed holt. Cast TB of course. ATGM and cyclone killed b13, but cyclone missed minuteman.
I had Aiyana harm the clad. Then a fully loaded defender with lightning shroud scrapped it. Thorn ran (I was careful to keep him out of Haley's control during reaction drive move) to score a point and the minuteman killed the remaining ATGM. Nemo kills 4 atgm in other unit. Everything else moves back.
He has to scramble and move his stormwall so that I don't win on CPs. But he's already lost at this point. He only has the wall and two cyclones and they can't score on me (I'm camping his zone). He has to camp wall on his point or I will win easily.
If dice down is called I will win on CPs.
All that doesn't matter. He scraps my minuteman and engages Thorn with stormwall. He also leaves Haley close to the back of Stormwall. I pop feat and send lightning all over the place. His up Cyclone gets rocked hard. An eleap gets to Haley and Nemo boosts to put her at 3 wounds. I wreck the cyclone with the lightning spider and an eleap kills Haley.
Game 2 I played Constance against phaley. Again. Different player and list. Scenario was overrun.
Phaley
Squire
Centurion
Avenger
Lancer
ATGM w UA
ATGM
Min Sk with UA (?)
Prime eiryss
Runewood
Journeyman
I won roll and ran like a looney at him. He popped feat, cast TB and advances up. His gun mages kill all the sword knights and 2 PKs. Eiryss disrupts Gallant.
I see an opportunity. Stormwall advances and drops a pod to kill eiryss (boosted the damage). Now he has Los to Haley (and I'd turned to face her directly). Boosted big gun hits for 12. She's at 3. Second shot misses (trying to roll a hard 10 on 2 dice at that point). Covering fire goes in front of sword knights. I feed him gallant. Constance feats and PKs move up in shield wall.
He eats gallant with the centurion. Makes a gun Mage bunker for Haley to hide in. Avenger and gun mages kill a few knights. I get some souls.
Remaining PKs kill 3 ATGM. Stormwall power strikes centy but I roll minimum distance and don't kick the jack all the way into Haley (probably needed a 6 for that). Still kills a lot of SKs and ATGM. Constance flanks hard and kills his JR with a Sunburst.
Centy and SKs do like 32 boxes to my arcane shielded stormwall. He kills a few more PKs. He's back pedaling a bit. He casts TB every round anyway though.
Stormwall double hand throws Centy back into gun mages after getting repaired. Dropped a pod on Runewood as well. Centy is like 9" away after throw. PKs minifeat and hit it pretty good. Kill two more gun mages as well. Harlan finishes Runewood. Constance moves up and flashing blade kills the rest of the SKs.
He considers going for some kind of arcane bolt/deadeyed gun Mage assassination. Decides against it. Moves Haley away in a flanking maneuver. Centy tries to tie up Runewood.
I see another chance to end Haley. Repair stormwall (for 8!) and move up. Drop pod to kill two gunmages blocking LOS to Haley. Boosted big gun shot can't fail to kill her.
Round 3 i have my choice of lists against legion and evayl in sacrifice.
I decided Nemo. Maybe a mistake. I also predeploy very badly. The storm strider blocked up my deployment, and for my opening gambit I needed a Stormcaller in a better spot.
My opponent is playing evayl tiered. Her two Angelius are about 12" out of my deployment after turn one. Bottom of one I run thorn up to hit him with lightning, then pop feat and arc enough lightning leaps to kill an Angelius and mug the other a bit.
My opponent wasn't impressed. He bullied my heavies with the remaining Angelius and pushed them with repulsion, keeping me back. The rest of his stuff threatens the zone.
I do a lot of damage to a lot of stuff but fail to kill the remaining Angelius.
My opponent scores easily by killing thorn the next turn. His Angelius kills Gorman. Nemo is lit on fire.
I do a ton more damage but my stuff is too far away to become relevant in the zone, and my opponent scores again to win on scenario.
I played too conservative and lost pretty easy. Though if I'd killed the second angel on nemo's feat (which was dicey) it would have been my game. I gambled early and lost. Might have been the wrong choice.
Lots of fun. Turned out the game was the "finals" as my opponent was the only undefeated player after that round.
So I came in second. Which is sweet.
I also played a game with Brice, Jarl v Constance. I was trying Madelyn Corbeau with Runewood, and that's pretty sweet.
Constance
Squire
Stormclad
Gallant
Corbeau
Runewood
Stormblades
Max PKs w UA
Max SKs
Black 13th
Gorman
Journeyman
Jarl
Bomber
Impaler
Earthborn
Max fennblades w UA
Scouts
Max burrowers
Fell caller
Janissa
Runebearer
Or something like that.
The game went on a bit. We jammed each other. We were playing incursion and Brice scored a point on the bottom of two. I recontested that flag but thought he'd score again. But he'd left his bomber up in an attempt to kill the b13 and Gorman. He got Ryan.
I freed up Gorman and black oiled the earthborn near the bomber. I hit the bomber with some attacks and sent in Constance, who killed the bomber. The earthborn was kind an out of melee range. Brice went for an assassination against Constance but his dice left him a bit short.
So I eeked that one out.
-Merlin out.
