Re: Classic League XI - Random Draft (Delta) -Round 2 thru 1
We played this morning.
Draft:
Chris chooses to pick 1st
Swarm bans Romans
Chris Picks MotH
Swarm Picks Sonlen
Chris Picks Yari x3
Swarm Picks Frosty, Izumi, Migol
Chris Picks Pulverizer
Swarm Picks GW x1
Chris Picks Hawthorne, GW x1
Game:
Rd 1, I went Yari/Yari/Yari(MotH) while Swarm went Izumi/Izumi/Sonlen(Frosty). I developed Yari up while Swarm sent the Izumi in. Izumi took Lodin, but Yari responded by killing an Izumi on my OM3. Sonlen then developed up.
Rd 2, I went Yari/Yari/Yari(MotH) while Swarm went Izumi/Sonlen/Sonlen(Sonlen). Swarm won init, got 2 attacks and 1 kill with Izumi. Yari then killed 1 Izumi and advanced a bit on Sonlen. Sonlen moved up and killed 2 Yari, staying out of engagement range. I took Dagmar and advanced on Sonlen. Sonlen killed 2 more Yari and took Lodin. I closed in on Sonlen, unable to reach him yet.
Rd 3, I went Yari/Yari/Yari and Swarm went Sonlen/Sonlen/Sonlen. I won init (with Dagmar, which I held the rest of the game) and got a 3/6 -> 0/3. Sonlen killed 2 more Yari, which was enough to stop me getting another SA in. I got 2/3 -> 0/3 & 1/3 -> 0/3 from height though to kill Sonlen and burn 2 OMs. Sonlen managed to hit all 3 Swoops to get the max 6 kills but also went 0/9 on defense, so a super mixed bag from him. Yari took Lodin (which I needed for Hawthorne) and I held both glyphs for the rest of the game.
Rd 4, I went Yari/Yari/MotH(Yari) and Swarm went Frost/Frost/Frost. Swarm won init despite Dagmar, and advanced Frost. I advanced Yari. Frost ran away towards MotH, but I was able to engage him with 1 Yari to prevent 7 move on Swarm's OM3 while my remaining couple of Yari charged Swarm's SZ and managed 1 GW kill. The Frosty then missed the Yari, but hit Frenzy and killed him on the 2nd try. MotH moved up but his attack was blocked.
Rd 5, I went MotH/MotH/MotH and Swarm went Frost/Frost/Frost. I won init and did 2 wounds. Frosty then hit 3 Frenzies in a row but was only able to get 1 wound across that. I took the LEA (hit) and moved to shadow, but failed to wound Frosty. Frosty then hit 3 more Frenzies in a row (6/7 at this point) and went a combined 11/12 on attack to kill MotH. My OM3 was burned. Frosty advanced on my SZ and did 2 wounds on Pulverizer.
Rd 6, I went Pulverizer/Pulverizer/Hawthorne(Pulverizer) and Swarm went Frost/Frost/Frost. I won init and got super lucky to kill Frosty immediately, burning Swarm's whole round. Pulverizer then advanced and Hawthorne advanced.
Rd 7, I went Yari/Pulverizer/Pulverizer(Yari) and Swarm went GW/Migol/Migol(Migol). I won init and killed 1 GW across 2 2v3s. GW missed the Yari. Pulverizer advanced. Migol retreated but failed to kill a Yari. Pulverizer advanced. Migol missed again.
Rd 8, I went Yari/Pulverizer/Pulverizer and Swarm went Migol/Migol/Migol. I won init and did 1 wound to Migol off Yari. Migol finally killed that Yari. Pulverizer charged in and did 1 wound across 2 attacks. Migol and Pulverizer trade blows, ending the round with 1 life on Pulverizer and 2 life on Migol.
Rd 9, I went Pulverizer/Hawthorne/Hawthorne and Swarm goes all Migol. I won init, but Pulverizer finally counter struck himself and died. We carefully advanced Hawthorne & Migol the rest of the round, both ending on height.
Rd 10, I go all Hawthorne Swarm goes all Migol. We each only do 1 wound to each other across the whole round of attacks.
Rd 11, same thing. I win init and Hawthorne finally kills Migol, then kills the last GW to end the game.
GGs Swarm, definitely was a fun one with lots of interplay throughout.
I opened Yar, while Swarm opened a mix of Izumi & Sonlen. Izumi managed 1 kill on Yari, but the first 2 SAs I got into Izumi both hit and neutralized that card.
The Chris Perkins (1-0) v. Swarm (1-0) pool of armies is
Spoiler Alert!
Code:Ashigaru Yari x4 35/squad Greenscale Warriors x4 60/squad Roman Legionnaires x4 65/squad Ana Karithon 90 Frost Giant of Morh 130 Grimnak 165 Izumi Samurai 60 Kato Katsuro 160 Marro Hive 130 Master of the Hunt 100 Migol Ironwill 95 Ogre Pulverizer 105 Sir Hawthorne 90 Sonlen 130
Chris Perkins wins the diceoff to pick first OR pick second and strike.
