I got a 50 pt. game in versus Mercs and boy was it a beating. It was one of those games where they have a counter for everything you bring. My opponent was a nice guy so that made it better, but it was not my best game (actually my worst ever). In reality we played two games, but he won the first game and it went something like this.
First players second turn he controls my Lord of the Feast (Storm Rager) to attack Grayle. He is in back arc (We were using shoulders and I forgot so I had him facing wierd because I usually play him how his facing is) and kills Grayle on the last attack due to my 4 transfers.
His List
Fiona
Galleon
10 Nyss Hunters
10 Long Gunners
Press Gangers with Seductress
Di Wulfe
Corbeau
Di Bray
Dugal McNaile
Rutgar Shaw
eEiryss
Reinholdt
Maybe other stuff
My list
Grayle
Stalker
Feral
Gorax
Bloodtrackers + Nuala (preyed pressgangers)
Min Skinwalkers + Alpha
Stones + UA
Blackclad
Wilder
LotF
Whitemane
His 1st
Everything moves up. Not much to say here
My 1st
I move some bloodtrackers to shoot long gunners and press gangers. They kill some pressgangers, can't reach the long gunners and then I reform to spread out. Skinwalkers go behind a wall except for one of them. The Battlegroup moves into a forest on my right and back of killbox. They get in the stones. Whitemane secures right and LotF secures the left.
His 2nd
He seduces two things to bloodtrackers to clump me up. He pounds the bloodtrackers to dust with Galleon and di Wulfe. The Nyss kill one. (I have 3 left). He moves his arc nodes di Bray to kill LOTF with magic from Fiona. Controls one of the Skinwalkers to kill another of them. Pops feat (-1 attack and damage die in her control) and everything he has is within control.
My 2nd
Nothing I have can hit or damage on better than a 5 but usually 6 or not at all. I try to kill a solo with a tracker, need a five but miss. My skinwalkers charge up to try to kill Corbeau with combined. Need a 5 on either attack and miss both. Nyss pass fear and so do press gangers. My battlegroup readjusts to strike next turn. Whitemane moves around to do the same. This turn sucked! No scenario points given.
His 3rd
He seduces the warborn to attack one another and offer backs to the Nyss. Galleon runs, long gunners run (he controls entire left side). Gets 3 points (1 for his own objective with Fiona on it and 2 for controlling my objective).
My 3rd
I finally have a chance to do something. With Grayle feat I can get all beasts into Galleon and the whitemane and grayle into the Nyss. Grayle activates, pops feat and goes to work. Oh wait, the Nyss .(only thing Grayle can attack) have Roth's Mercy on them and can sac another model in their unit instead of dying. This means that the 3" of movement from his feat never activates because he isn't killing anything with his melee attack. Nothing makes it to where they are charging because they don't have 3". Grayle is in the open. Game over.
Final Thoughts:
Like I said, everything I had was countered by his list
Bloodtrackers- He had 1+2d3 AOE and 2 seductions
Skinwalkers- shooting and seduction/influence to kill themselves
Feat- Nyss with Roth's Mercy
Stealth- AOEs everywhere
High MAT on my stuff- Feat turn
This game made me cry. Poor Grayle, even his own attack shenanigans were destroyed by the list. I should have played more in his grill since he had shooting. If I had done that, I would have had a chance after weathering the feat turn. I played too cautiously and it cost me.
