Circle of Oboros (Bernd)
After my first turn, Matthias said: "Bernd, I think that was your worst turn of Warmachine / Hordes ever!" And I said: "Yes, I think you're right." This sums up my first turn pretty good. I achieved nothing and lost my feat. At least I had a model inside the mission objective.
In Matthias following turn I experienced the power of the storm firsthand. And I realized another big mistake. After a couple of triangulations and lots of damage, it dawned upon me that my initial deployment was pretty horrible. I should have gone to one flank and roll that flank up, maybe even forfeiting a victory point. Then I should have advanced towards the center, and thus giving my opponent no chance to move behind my army.
But not everything went wrong. At least none of my models died and on my following turn it was time to show those Cygnarians the true power of the Wilderness. This turn my goal was to take the mission objective and earn a victory point, thus forcing the Cygnarians in the Circle. I didn't achieve it, but as I destroyed the majority of Matthias' army, he had no choice but to play his Warcaster offensively.
As he failed to assassinate Kaya there was nothing left to stand between me and victory.
The lesson I learned this game is to keep Kaya's battlegroup close together. The Warpwolf benefits from the Pureblood. Kaya benefits from Laris. On top of that, Kaya has a very short spell range. Next time I will try to play them as they are meant: A pack of nasty wolves! :D
Cygnar (Matthias)
Bernd played crap. His first two turns were just not good. Nevertheless, I failed to capitalize on it. I just was not able to affect any of his beasts due to that Stelath thing ... I kept achieving nothing and Bernd turned his gameplay to the better so I lost...
