OHS S57 - Delta with AoA - Congrats Chris Perkins!

Just wrapped my game up with baron_scapius! Man, Death Knights would just not die early on. I was rolling near 60% on defense in the early rounds which let me develop most of my army into a good place. He brought out an Ulaniva-charged Guilty early on to take shots from height that just could not break through, allowing me to engage with Loviatak and dispatch him early. For most of the early to mid game, I was really only getting about two attacks while I developed up DKs. Those two attacks per turn were more than enough though, as baron's dreadguls were consistently rolling 0-1 defense dice while the DKs were double aura'd up. Valguard came into the mix late game, but he only managed to put one wound on Loviatak and kill a couple of DKs before dying to a Twisting Blade. Rae cleaned up the rest of baron's army, a lone Johnny who got one parting shot before dying.

GG's baron_scapius!

Got the win against @Sheep this evening.

I started out by rushing Raelin up to potentially chase down a Krav and give my DKs some time to develop, which ended up working in my favor. Sheep was not prepared for a 7 move Raelin and left a Krav up where I could get it and managed to get the kill, though Raelin died shortly after. Rest of the game was just slowly but consistently getting 2ish kills per turn and rolling 5 defense dice. Sheep also missed some pretty important attacks on Loviatak which ended up being crucial for me. The last round I stole Sheep’s OM 3 by killing Zogross and an Armoc turn 1, which allowed me to chase down the remaining Krav for the W. Definitely had some lucky dice there near the end, but I’ve really been enjoying how consistent The AoA Utgar make the DKs. GGs Sheep!
 
A fun game against @Cor7770. After developing evil Raelin and getting his deathknights up onto the road, it felt like I would be an uphill battle for my dreadguls. The first wave of 'guls went down with hardly a whimper - the DKs were rolling well and the 'guls didn't get to roll any defense dice in the aura. They did manage to put a wound on Rae. Guilty did Guilty things, getting Rae down to 1 life. Rae came forward to remove a gul that was blocking the path to Guilty and the gul pulled out a vital block. Rae went down next turn and Valguard engaged the most forward DK. The next turn the DK went for the disengage to get rid of Guilty, but died on disengage. The most forward DKs rushed forward (thanks to the road) and eliminated all the 'guls except 1. I hid that one in the start zone (to not lose OMs and to keep Johnny company) and switched back and forth between Valguard and Guilty depending on which was a better play that turn. Cor7770 caught me off guard by bringing up his Nottingham brigand on a turn 3 and took a shot at Guilty, wounding, but not killing him. Guilty removed the brigand threat next turn. Once Valguard got tied down, Guilty rained lead on the deathknights from height - stepping onto Dagmar at a critical moment to keep initiative. Once Valguard was gone, Guilty just needed to stay far enough away from the last 2 DKs to finish the job, which he did. MVP was Guilty, hands down. Thanks for the game @Cor7770!

I beat Earthling yesterday in a highly technical game that lasted almost one and a half hours. I made Earthling place first, and he decided to take the north SZ, placing 5 micros on the right side and the other 4 micros, plus Ewashia and Kita, on the left. For my part, I stacked all my stingers on the left side of my SZ.

Now, Deja Vu has 2 features that were key in how this matchup played out. 1, there's a huge expanse of level 3 that runs from one side of the map to the other, and 2, the opposing level 4 spaces are really far away from each other. Because of this, my strategy was to develop my stingers up to the level 3 on the very far left side and more or less ignore the microcorp that Earthling had developed on the rightmost third of the map. This way, any microcorp that Earthling did develop there would have to give up the level 4 height in order get height attacks on my developing stingers, which would in turn expose the microcorp to a counterattack from the stingers on the level 4 on my side. For the most part, this strategy worked out, and I was able to kill the micros that Earthling moved onto the level 3 road in the centre of the map while simultaneously targeting the agents that he'd left on the left side of his SZ. There were a few nervous moments - Ewashia came out and could have wiped out 2/4 of my remaining stingers from the low ground while Earthling still had 3 micros left in play, and on Earthling's very next turn the micros managed to get 3 height attacks down on the stingers, but the stingers were able to weather the storm. I ended up winning with 3 stingers and a full-life Master of the Hunt remaining. gg Earthling! It was a fun one.

Late night and missed something. Here's the correct matchups.

~Dysole, apologetically
 
I played the last AoA showdown of this season against Cleon yesterday!

Before the game, I had a quick practice game to test this matchup. Framework is kind of hard to get micros to height and keep it, and the whole bunch of same level 3 hexes makes it hard for them to get heightened shots. I also wasn't sure if Cleon would open krav (Unlikely, but possible) or bears (likely). Bears having quite a longetivity would mean that agents would simply get mowed down in the middle of the map.

Knowing this, I opened with Ewashia. My hope here was to kill at least 2 bears and maybe one krav, which would heavily hinder cleon on his ability to direct where the fight is. I figured if I do enough damage he would have no other choice than going inside my sz, where my unengaged agents could go up and use Sighting on them. Ewashia took cleon by surprise, giving him a bit of a headache for the developement of his figures. I was able to get a few ranged splashes on bears while laying down water tiles on height spaces, wounding but not killing the frostclaws. Who could've guessed polar bears liked water? On the left side, Kita got swooped by eldgrim on the fight for the Valda glyph, and at the start of the second round I placed Ewashia in the middle in a own-made puddle, hoping he would slow down and tank my opponent while I activate my agents.

At the same time, the krav got to the highest points and heavily wound ewashia which did not held long. Then, cleon managed to quickly clear 5 of my agents as I couldn't get any suit saves. At that point, I did made a mistake of not going into level 0 water for the bonus defense of my agents. I realized this a bit later and put all my remaining agents in water, trying to get a krav to blank. Microcorp held for a while, but could only kill bears. I did get 3 saves (out of 10), which only kept my head out of the water ( :) ) for a little while but ultimately it was too late.

Good game cleon, you played it well and I truly enjoyed this game. Looking forward to the next one.

The polar bear team did not end up victorious in the battle for ulaniva, though eldgrim was a champ lol. Your first round setup was strong, I didn’t expect you to save the swiftfangs till the end. Well played and fun game as always Chris, and good luck in the finals.
