OHS S55 - Delta Control Points - CONGRATS OG-BLAHA

[quozl]

A case of very uneven dice defeated kevindola in our game this morning. I take no credit.

[kevindola]

Haha, well take some credit. The Eldgrim move to Range+1 was really big and I thought your threat prioritization was spot on.

There were a couple things I could/should have done differently, but dice as they fell would have made things pretty difficult in any scenario.

Stealth Armor only worked 2 out of 17 times for Shurrig. Sorry!

[Grey Waves]

I defeated Superfrog in a very grindy game that lasted almost 2 hours. Despite both our armies averaging around 5 attacks of 3 per turn, both SF and I had multiple terrible attacking turns during the early- and mid-game where we each struggled to kill more than 1 of the opponent's figures. (Highlights were one turn where SF went 0/6 on 3v3s and another turn where I went 0/5 with 3x 3v3s and 2x 4v3s). For my own part, I tried to limit the potential targets that SF could hit if he had a good swarm roll, and I was successful in tying up 3 of his drones on the level 2 concrete for most of the game. I finally had a successful attacking turn at the start of Round 5, where I won initiative and managed to kill 4 squaddies, knocking SF under 9 drones for the first time in the game. This, combined with a poor d20 roll on SF's OM1, really swung the momentum back in my favour. I was able to knock the drones down to under a squad by the end of the round, and ended up closing the game out with 5 knights and Kira Jax remaining.

[Foudzing]

Finally the best army in the format got a win.

It started grimm when I got init and failed my first 6 kravs attacks vs bees (3x 3v3 and 3x 3v2) preventing me to attack the bee on Valda and basically securing Valda for Thrasher the whole game.

Then Thrasher got the R2 init switch and I was like "oh god I gonna get destroyed" but Raelin went on "one of those games" and survived from Sujoah and 2 bees trying to sacrifice on her for waaaaay too long. Meanwhile Garus just wait then fire. It was a weird game where attacks you would expect to go through didn't and those you wouldn'texpect to go through did. Also I was alternating 0 casualties turns and 3~4 casualties turns weirdly.
I focused bees with Garus and when Raelin finally died there were about ~4ish bees left which I focused down. I had about 8 to Garus and all the kravs (which honestly was also a miracle I think a Kravs resisted to 2 sacricficial sting, under Raelin). At this point I was very confident as Thrasher only got 1 attack per turn left.

Then I got the init switch and Mellifera got blasted very fast with very good WTF shots and Sujoah suffered the same fate, at this point I was able to secure Valda, Heirloom had just too much to do alone, he killed a krav but went down slowly but surely.

If someone wants to play another game so I get my fourth game hit me up!
