Concerning the rules:
The game's great appeal is, in contrast to many other games, that you are very variable concerning your tactic. Spending Focus Points significantly (or better exclusively) accounts for this. By being able to use them both offensively and defensively on your leader model, your opponent must adjust to both possibilities. For beginners the diversity of the special rules is not manageable. In contrast, the basic rules are very simple.
Concerning the battle:
With the opponent's dispersed deployment it was my goal to advance as tight as possible over one flank to prevent being outflanked. Additionally I hoped to destroy the smaller enemy groups piecemeal through local and temporary outnumbering. This I only managed to a limited extend, my opponent almost managed a dangerous triangulation setup in his second turn.
After Matthias replaced Dieter as player, eNemo's Feat turn surprised me. At this point the Feat was completely out of my mind. Towards the end I forgot about another rule and choose the wrong tactic, as I was not able to use indirect fire on eNemo. This surely had cost me victory, if it had not been for the following missing headbutt attack on Sorscha.
All in all it was a narrow victory, where luck was with the novice player (as it should be).

When I took over, it did not look very good for Cygnar. One 'jack and one Stomcaller were gone, the rest of the force spread in a line along the table, while the Khadorian forces were all together. True to Page5's motto 'COME HEAVY, OR DON'T COME AT ALL', I decided it was time to get more aggressive. I managed to more or less neutralize the two Khadorian Heavy 'jacks and get rid of the Winter Guard. I then even badly hurt Sorscha, but it was too late to win. But at least I can blame Dieter :-)
