Battle Report
Today I played against against another player at Major Game Day in Boston although it was anti-climactic (the battle). We played a 500 point game.
THE DRAFT -My opponent started the draft taking Syvarris #1 -With 2 picks I chose the Krav + AE -His next 2 picks were comprised of Krug and the Marro Warriors -I proceeded to draft Raelin to make my Krav untouchable from range and since he had not taken any units that could bypass defense I took a squad of Sentinels. -With his next 2 picks he took the Omnicron Snipers + Izumi Samurai -I proceeded to select Deadeye Dan (for fun and to pull out a Wave 4 figure) and a squad of Venoc Vipers -With his last selection he took the Zettian Guards **We decided to play without Glyphs. The board was made of roughly 2 Mastersets, there was a little lava and water but not alot. It was decently symmetrical but not totally. The highest elevations were roughly 5 spaces high. BATTLE -The 1st 2 rounds or so were mainly positioning. I advanced the Krav, Raelin, and Sentinels while my AE failed to drop. My opponent was placing most of his markers in these 2 rounds moving Syv and Krug, I believe 1 marker went to the Samurai. Syv attacked my krav and with 5 dice all 3 managed to dodge. -Round 3 Syv attacked again and all were dodged. My krav attacked and killed Syv and 1 Samurai. With his remaining 2 actions he moved his Samurai and moved Krug adjacent to my Krav. The samurai attacked my sentinells but with 6 defense dice + shields of valor against the samurai's weak attack it was hardly surprising all 3 were easily blocked. Having refused to attack Krug so far the 2 attacks at 2 were easily defended with 5 dice. The Round ended with me moving in my sentinels to surround Krug and they did 2 damage to him. -Round 4 My AE dropped and I won initiative so they proceeded to kill him with 4 attacks at 4. The last AE also killed his 1 Marro Warrior that was in the water. Being down Krug + Syv + 1 Marro Warrior + 1 Samurai compared to my army at 100% full health he forfeitted *It was pretty disappointing how it played out. There was 1 round he moved his Zettian Guards but they had nobody to attack so I did not include them in the report since I forgot what round they were moved. Dan and my Venocs stood in the starting zone throughout the game. During the draft I felt the game wsa pretty much decided by the fact he has no units that could either Destroy or Bypass defense. Being a Staff member of the store running the site and the fact that he said he plays a decent bit made me think he'd build a more competitive army.

look - anyone who drafts the Zettian f-ing Guards in a competetive game is not worth taking much confidence in beating, unfortunately.
 Good drafting. I'm wondering what you would have counterdrafted for that, TheRealQ (unless you already have the thread posted).

I disagree with your assessment, the main notions of this thread revolve around counterdrafting and how the battle between 2 armies played out. Other than showing the map I do not see what having pics would accomplish (on the bright side that animation is hilarious)

I didn't have a camera with me and to be honest never even occurred to me. When I am competing against someone and into the game the last thing on my mind is to take a bunch of pictures (I tend to be ultra competitive)
