Edit: got the win.

I hit Emerge from Swamp (the 16+ one) with R-T-S on each of the first 3 rounds, which let me get him to great height without any OMs used the whole game. I used Round 1, OM 1 on T-B-R, and only used T-B-R twice more, both when Xipta forced me to, and he was rather useless both times.

R-T-S gave me a great position to put Drudge on height though where they could threaten with 4 attack. Sir H.'s Sneaks tried going around the far sides to the north and south of the map to avoid my central pod, which forced me to meet them for a bunch of 1-1s, but with the amount of swamp water on the map and having 3 attacks to his 2, those tradeoffs helped me in the long run and I had 5 Drudge left after Sir H ran out of Sneaks.

Sir H. moved in with Quorik then, finally testing my central pod, but a poor defensive showing from an Interceptor gave me two boosted attacks (one with height) on Quorik that he wasn't expecting, which finished off the Warwitch, leaving Sir H. with just Rygarn left, and he conceded.

R-T-S was fantastic, but largely because I got really lucky with Emerge from Swamp and didn't have to burn any early OMs advancing her.

The Interceptors both took very high efficiency attacks with their flying boost, but both missed and died very soon after. Should have done a lot more than they ended up doing, based on the number of dice they threw at me (including an early shot at R-T-S that would have changed the game if it had it for 3+ wounds).

I think the new figures worked largely as expected this game, with the boosted Drudge gaining the advantage over the Sneaks.
