Setup

We're playing the Steamroller 2013 scenario "Destruction" where you get points for destroying the objectives in each corner of your opponents side, and points for controlling the zone. Khador won the roll and decided to choose table edge and be the second player.

Everything deployed pretty much in the middle of the board. Doom Revers and Widowmakers advanced deployed on the flanks.

Cygnar - Turn 1

Run phase. Everything that could ran across the board. Journeyman Warcaster gave Arcane Shield to the Forge Guards, and Stryker gave Blur to the Gun Mages and Snipe to the Stormwall. Rhupert gave tough to the Sword Knights.

Khador - Turn 1

Butcher rolled and got 6 Focus. Everything pretty much ran or charged across the field to get as close as possible to the control zone. Widowmakers advanced into the woods and shot and killed a Gun Mage.

Cygnar - Turn 2

Not enough range to get the alpha strike on the Khadors I choose to run up and "jam" as much as possible. Sword Knights and Forge Guards advanced. ATGM shot and killed the Widowmaker Marksman and 3 grunts. The Stormwall had received two focus which he used to deal some damage to Beast 09, however I forgot to place my covering fires for some reason...

pStryker cast Earthquake through the Lancers Arc Node and knocked down Beast 09 and 3 Pikemen. Then he moved up and used his feat.

Khador - Turn 2

Butcher rolled and only got 2 focus this turn. The Pikemen activated first and moved into Shield Wall formation, and moved away from Butchers charge lane. Butcher then activated and charged into the Sword Knights, but due to some poor dice rolls he only managed to kill 4 of them. Both Beast 09 and Spriggan moved forward. Doom Reavers charged down the flank but only managed to inflict 5 wounds on the monolith-objective.

The last Widowmaker shot and killed a Forge Guard. He then used Butchers feat-tokens to get Beast and Spriggan into combat. Spriggan attacked the Stormwall but couldn't do any damage to his high armor. Beast manged to cause a couple of wounds to the Lancer, but not enough to cripple any systems.

Cygnar - Turn 3

Stryker didn't upkeep any spells this turn, and he gave 3 focus to the Stormwall. Sword Knights killed 3 Doom Reavers. Forge Guards moved into combat with both Warjacks and Doom Reavers, but they only manged to inflict 2 wounds on the Spriggan and kill a Doom Reaver. (The Forge Guard that charged Beast 09 rolled 1-1-1-2 on the damage roll).

Gun Mages killed the last Widow Maker and knocked back the Juggernaut. Lancer did 1 cortex damage to Beast 09. Stormwall activated and moved into combat with the Spriggan and killed it. Stryker moved up and took a pot shot at Beast 09 which hit and disrupted him and he cast Arcane Shield on the Stormwall. Rhupert gave tough to the Forge Guards this turn.

Khador - Turn 3

Butcher received 7 focus this turn. Pikemen activated first and charged into combat with Gun Mages and Stormwall. They killed a single Gun Mage and didn't inflict any damage to the Stormwall. Great Bears activated and moved into combat with the Lancer and did a good amount of damage. Beast 09 activated and did a thresher attack against 3 Sword Knights, 2 Forge Guards, The Lancer and two of his own Great Bears. He ended up killing everyone but a single Forge Guard who made his tough roll.

Butcher then activated and cast "Ravager" on himself for some berserk madness. He charged into the Forge Guards and started to swing, each time moving 1" closer towards pStryker. By the end he managed to kill every Forge Guards in his path and ended up within reach to Stryker. With enough focus left he took 2 fully boosted attacks to Strykers face and killed him.
