THEME: Defenders of Ios

A little pre game theory. 

This Mohsar list has some pretty credible assassination. As he can sands in, use the Argus animus to paralyze me and just start buying attacks. 

Thankfully as long as Thyron is flanked by Banshees within 3 inches, he cant cast spells if he sands in close enough to attack me. 

Thyron doesnt bring anything specifically good into the match up, other than himself. 

Thyron himself, is specifically good. 

I won the die roll and chose the side without the 2 forests.

Ret and Circle turn 1.
Thyron put Assail on a Banahee and Storm ragers himself.
I derp a little by running my halberdiers in, but leaving the second wave too far back to do anything.
He had positioned up and put some pillars in the center of the table.

Circle turn 2

So I lose the Halbs and have no retaliation. Even worse I positioned the UA to keep them all in command and he made a perfect Crevasse target which dismounts Skyreth.

Left flank doing poorly. 

I mis read my Heavy Rifle Team cards and cant advance them close enough to take a crack at the Argus. The Banshee also misses. 

The other HRT however puts 6 damage on Megalith and then the AFG does another 14ish. Thyron skirts around the AFG to control the flag, but puts Assail on the Bannshee first. The Banshee with 3 focus charges Megalith and finishes him off with one charge attack. 

Maybe he forgot to cast Wild Growth or thought Megalith could tank it. When I asked him about it he said that he was happy to initiate the trade with Megalith because he knew he could kill the Banshee. 

Certainly if the Banshee couldnt charge the shooting damage putput would be negated by Megaliths healing. So I felt that I had to take the opportunity, wether he intended to make it that easy for me or not.  

Because a Banshee is fortunately completely within 3 inches of Thyron his assassination run is blocked.

Mohsar curses the Banshee in the zone which killed Megalith and the Reeve hunter War dog synergy kicks in. First hunter assaults, triggers the three charges then hits with his charge. After all that the Banshee is down to 3 boxes and the other Reeve hunter finishes it off. One hunter consolidates into the Halbs and the other consolidates backwards.
This time he derps on the left flank and leaves 3 Halberdiers alive in the zone. He uses resources instead to kill thr HRT, which at least leaves Morraig contesting the flag Thyron is on.

Ret is on 2 control points and Circle couldnt score any.

So The Banshee gets charged up with focus and concentrated power. The AFG shoots the 2 pillars of salt out of the way. Thyron feats and charges his center Argus. Sitting base to base with the flag he kills it and controls the flag.
Then the Banshee starts swinging at Morraig. However with 5 attacks boosted with Thyrons feat only 2 hit, so he only dismounts him.
Squeaky bum moment as the last thing to stop me from dieing to an assassination next turn is the Fane Knight Guardian charging Morraig and attacking him over a wall.
Miraculously he hits over the wall and rolls enough damage to kill the Wolf Lord.
The lyss healer advances to control my flag.
2 points secured.
The last part is for the right zone Halberdiers to mini feat and clear the zone of 3 Wolves and a Reeve hunter. Which they do with much less effort than I expected.

Retribution scenario win.
