i think ill be playing warmachine more often than warhammer now.
fast and furious. or it would have been if we hadnt been asking questions all the time. were all newbies anyway...
jacob's khador:
sorscha
5 widowmakers w/kapitan
3 greylords
3 heavy warjacks (kodiak, berserker and devastator i think)
my cryx
deneghra
2 slayers
3 deathripper
2 defilers proxying as nightwretches
as usual, i lost the dice off for deployment/1st turn. and also as usual, i didnt know what to do at deployment. just for the heck of it i deployed behind a hill with the turkey jacks up front and denny and the slayers behind.
i planned to get a turkey close to the widowmakers and cast dark seduction on them and shoot the heck out of sorscha. things didnt go as planned and next turn i cast dark seduction on the grey lords and chraged sorscha. 10 pts of damage. not bad.
having the memory span of a goldfish, i cant remember all the details so ill jsut write the things i do remember.
a turkey slammed one of the khador jacks. -4 to hit is baaaaaaaaaad. nothing happened since i only gave it 1 focus point (to slam). lesson learned. deathripper cant do anything to the jack but seeing jacob worried for a couple of seconds when i said id get a free hit if the jack moved away was priceless.
jacob killed off 2 of his darkly seduced greylords. when it was my turn, i didnt pay the upkeep, releasing them, now planning to channel dark seduction at the unit of widowmakers thru a heavily-damaged-but-still-no-disabled-system nightwretch.
wait, the nightwretch's head was disabled. boo hoo. the arcnode was damaged but still functioning. huzzah!
hey i used "huzzah!"
jacob was able to charge my 2 slayers with the devastator but since he only allocated 1 focus, he wasnt able to use the rain of death. he attacked normally but was unable to damage the slayer he targeted (not much anyway). then just when i was planning to crippling grasp+wither+poke the devastator with sliver (thats -7 defense and -4 armor to the devastator) +combo attack with each slayer, jacob conceded. he had to go to makati.
bitin pare! wowwwwwwwwww!
i demand a rematch!!!!!!!
LOL! Besides Jacob miscalculating on his focus assignment, it was pretty well-played. It would have turned out bad if he had popped out a Rain of Death on those two Slayers. The damage it would have caused would be on the range of 3 to 13. 13 damage! That's enough to cripple one system on your Slayers. Although I would have piled up 3 dice on it so it can boost one damage roll.
ReplyDeleteOne Slayer would do 0 to 2 points of damage to it, max of 8 when boosted pa. You'd have been swinging a bamboo stick to a wooden wall.
Oh, and a free strike would encur 3D6 of damage, but cannot be boosted. So the Deathripper could have actually damaged the Devastator when it left the combat.
LOL a rematch is indeed in order to see the outcome of the match ^_^
Saya maging newbie ulit hehe
