Setup

Setup:
The scenario is "Process of Elimination", where you need do control/dominate the zones, or you can destroy the objectives for some extra points. I won the roll and wanted to go first. I kinda knew he would place his Bloodtrackers in the wood, but with both Arcane Shield and Tough I didn't think they would be such a huge problem.

Turn 1:

Cygnar - Run phase. Storm Strider and Stormblades both got Arcane Shield, and Rhupert also gave the Stormblades tough this turn.

Circle - Stuff ran forward. Bloodtrackers went really aggressive and sent a couple of models into my charge range to bait me into a trap. Kaya cast "Forced Evolution" on Ghetorix and "Shadow Pack" on her battle group before she advanced.

Turn 2:

Cygnar - B13 started and tried to shoot Ghetorix with a Fire Beacon to get vision of his Shifting Stone, but missed. Having nothing to shot at the Storm Strider and Ol' Rowdy advanced. Stormblades got Deadeye and advanced and killed 2 Bloodtrackers that they could get vision of. Rhupert once again gave the Stormblades tough. Haley also cast Temporal Barrier this turn, but it didn't affect the Bloodtrackers due to poor placement by me.

Circle - Bloodtrackers charged the Stormblades but only killed 2 of them (I made 4 out of 6 tough rolls). Gorax cast his animus on Ghetorix who then got teleported into melee range with Ol' Rowdy. He then warped Strength and started hitting Ol' Rowdy down to 1 box.

Turn 3

Cygnar - Haley used her feat and camped all her focus this turn. B13 and Stormstrider both shot at Ghetorix but did hardly do any damage due to really poor dice rolls. Stormblades activated and started swinging away at the Bloodtrackers killing about 4-5 of them (but I forgot Haleys feat so I only made one attack with each).

Circle - Ghetorix frenzied and killed Ol' Rowdy. Bloodtrackers killed all of the Stormblades with the help of some insane dice rolls (not a single roll he made was less than 8). And without Stormblades and Ol' Rowdy I didn't really see a way out so I forfeited.
