Kreoss took one point of Fury from a Wrack, which did not explode. He then arc noded ‹ Cleansing Fire › on a Shredder (7 damage, 6 blast damage on an adjacent Shredder) and channeled another ‹ Cleansing Fire › on the next Shredder in line (5 damage and 1 blast damage). This left 4 Shredders burning.

[Legion Turn 2]

The raging fire dealt 7 points of damage on one Shredder and killed another Shredder, two fires extinguished without doing any further harm.

The Shepherd healed one Shredder for 3.

The Angelius charged the Revenger beside the wall. His charge attack hit boosted, did 14 points of damage ( ‹ Armour Piercing › ) and crippled the left arm, thus negating the Shield. The second fully boosted attack caused another 4 points of damage and crippled the Movement.

A Shredder with ‹ Rabid › charged the Revenger as well and destroyed the Arc Node as well as crippled the right arm with two attacks.

A second Shredder (also in ‹ Rabid › -mode) charged in, and wrecked the Protectorate light 'jack. With a second attack he dealt 3 points of damage to the Vanquisher. This triggered ‹ Enliven › and the heavy moved backwards out of harms reach.

The last Shredder advanced with ‹ Rabid › and ‹ Tenacity › .

The Carnivean advanced and ‹ Dragon Breath › ed the second Revenger. He boosted both the hit and the damage roll and caused 3 points. Additionally, one Chorister behing the Revenger was killed as well.

End of Legion turn 4 overview.

*****

The Battle Mechanik repaired 1 point of damage from the Vanquisher.

Kreoss then popped his Feat, took another additional Fury from a Wrack (without destroying it), and advanced towards Lylyth.

He then cast Immolation three times on her, killing her with the last.

Debriefing

  • Björn (Legion of Everblight)

    This time tactics turned out to be not as good as supposed. Lylyth was too far away from battle to make an impact at the right time. Also she was not well protetced enough. But there were also positive aspects, as the damage between both forces was split even which resulted in a win for the better one in this battle, and for the lucky one in the whole tournament. Although Protectorate would not have made the first place even it would have killed the whole Legion army before trying to get rid of Lylyth.

  • Matthias (Protectorate of Menoth)

    This game went similar to plan. I was able able to keep my troops tight to provide mutual support. Björn spreading his forces cetainly helped me in this. I should have used my Feat a turn earlier, but luckily nothing bad resulted from this lapse.
