Since this is my blog I'll only write about the three games that I had and the two lists I played with. Oh, another ruled we played with was no proxy models allowed, which made it a bit difficult for me since I don't yet own Ol' Rowdy and I always play with him (I have ordered him, but haven't received the shipment). I went for my standard Kara Sloan list, and for my second list I choose eStryker with some slight changes.
Points: 35/35
Captain Kara Sloan (*6pts)
* Hunter (6pts)
* Defender (9pts)
* Squire (2pts)
Arcane Tempest Gun Mages (Leader and 5 Grunts) (6pts)
* Arcane Tempest Gun Mage Officer (2pts)
Black 13th Gun Mage Strike Team (4pts)
Greygore Boomhowler & Co. (Boomhowler and 9 Grunts) (9pts)
Captain Arlan Strangewayes (2pts)
Reinholdt, Gobber Speculator (1pts)
Points: 35/35
Lord Commander Stryker (*6pts)
* Centurion (9pts)
* Stormclad (10pts)
* Squire (2pts)
Stormblade Infantry (Leader and 5 Grunts) (5pts)
* Stormblade Infantry Officer & Standard (3pts)
* 3 Stormblade Infantry Storm Gunner (3pts)
Archduke Alain Runewood (3pts)
Journeyman Warcaster (3pts)
Rhupert Carvolo, Piper of Ord (2pts)
Stormsmith Stormcaller (1pts)
As you can see the eStryker list is lacking some of the things I want to run. Ol' Rowdy and eEyriss being the two models I really wanted in this list. In the Kara Sloan list I was thinking of switching out Arlan for Jonas Murdoch to give the Boomhowler a bit more punch, but I decided I wanted Arlan in case I needed to repair a gun early on.

| Game 1 - Khador (pButcher) - Scenario: Close Quarter |
The Butcher of Khardov (*6pts)
* Demolisher (9pts)
* Demolisher (9pts)
* War dog (1pts)
Iron Fang Pikemen (Leader and 9 Grunts) (8pts)
* Black Dragon Officer & Standard (2pts)
Widowmakers (Leader and 3 Grunts) (4pts)
Gorman di Wulfe, Rogue Alchemist (2pts)
Ogrun Bokur (3pts)
Yuri the Axe (3pts)
Widowmaker Marksman (2pts)
Points: 37/37
A small mistake with the list, he shouldn't have had Gorman, but it didn't really matter anyway. Khador started with running up with everything, and I did the same on my first turn. On the second turn Pikeman advanced in Shield Wall and Iron Zeal (ARM 22!) and was prepared to face my alpha charge. I charged with both my Jacks and my Stormblades, killing absolutely nothing (except Yuri with the Stormclad). Khador answered the next turn with pButchers feat - killing all but 1 Stormblade and wreaking the Centurion even though it had Arcane Shield. Wasn't much I could do, so I ran Stryker up killing a Demolisher and locked myself in combat with the pikemen in hope that some (un)lucky dice rolls would save me and the game. It didn't. Pikemen did a CMA and got critical knockdown, so it was an easy victory for Khador.

| Game 2 - Menoth (pKreoss) - Scenario: Overrun |
Samuel (who plays Menoth) is quite new to the game, and this was his first time with a full unit of Errants with their UA. He played with this list:
High Exemplar Kreoss (*5pts)
* Redeemer (6pts)
* Repenter (4pts)
* Reckoner (8pts)
Choir of Menoth (Leader and 3 Grunts) (2pts)
Exemplar Errants (Leader and 9 Grunts) (8pts)
* Exemplar Errant Officer & Standard Bearer (2pts)
Holy Zealots (Leader and 5 Grunts) (4pts)
* Holy Zealot Monolith Bearer (2pts)
Reclaimer (2pts)
Vassal of Menoth (2pts)
Points: 35/35
I played with my Kara Sloan list. My plan was to run with the Boomhowlers as quickly as I could into the "overrun" area and just sit there forever, while the rest of my army would stay back and just try and blast the rest away. Menoth advanced and got some lucky scatters with the Zealots and the Redeemer, while the Errants and some really bad dice rolls. It became somewhat a war of attrition when we met on the middle of the board, but he moved Kreoss a bit too far and I saw my chance. I cleared a path with my Boomhowlers in melee and got a straight line towards Kreoss, two boosted shots from Kara and one from the Defender killed him. Victory for Cygnar!

| Game 3 - Circle (eKreuger) - Scenario: Incursion |
I was about to play eStryker one more time, but I really do like to play with Kara and her gunline, and I haven't really tried her against Circle before. He played with this list:
Krueger the Stormlord (*5pts)
* Gorax (4pts)
* Pureblood Warpwolf (9pts)
* Warpwolf Stalker (10pts)
Druids of Orboros (Leader and 5 Grunts) (7pts)
* Druid of Orboros Overseer (2pts)
Shifting Stones (2pts)
* Stone keeper (1pts)
Blackclad Wayfarer (2pts)
Druid Wilder (2pts)
Gallows Grove (1pts)
Gallows Grove (1pts)
Points: 36/36
Another small mistake in the list. Seems he brought an extra Gallows. Maybe I should start checking my opponents list before the game... anyway, it didn't matter much either. We both moved up towards the middle of the board, the objective on the right side of the screen disappeared. Druids tried to "pull out" the Hunter from the woods so the Stalker could charge it, but he didn't get it to move far enough, and he also blocked the charge lane for his Stalker. Boomies moved towards the middle objective, and Kara used her feat and killed all but 1 Druid with the help of the ATGM. eKrueger tried to push away my whole army to claim some "easy" points, but he only managed to score 1 point. Kara Sloan got 2 boosted shots into eKreuger who had to transfer them to both the Gorax and Pureblood killing them. The Stalker tried to flank Kara and got into melee range locking her in combat. Still I moved out and took the free-strike, which missed. Got a final boosted shot into eKrueger who couldn't transfer the damage this time. Another Victory for Cygnar!
Conclusion
Winner - Khador (3-0)
2:nd Place - Cygnar (2-1)
3:rd Place - Menoth (1-2)
4:th Place - Circle (0-3)
