My game is against Fillet, I chose Tap-in, Steamroller, and Give as good as you get.
I remembered the Brutal match against Brewers last match and chose a more aggressive list in that of Mist, Rage, Silence, Ghast, and Dirge.
He goes with Fillet, Boar, Rage, Meathook, Boiler, Princess
I win the roll and chose to kick off.
Mist moves in front of an obstruction and kicks off the ball, beginning in cover. He kicks the ball over to my opponents cover, to hopefully get some extra tac.
Boiler advances to grab the ball and passes to Rage, who uses a give and go.
Mist recognizes his opportunity and advances 8" within melee of rage.
Wiffing the first attack, I generate momentum then tackle, but due to the wiff I only get a 2 dice shot over Fillet.
Scoring, I use the momentum to Run the Length to tie down Boar/Rage and force them to not have a free charge.
Truffles, proving her worth, pushes mist on 1 success out of melee with boar.
Rage tools up Scalpel and advances for next turns charge.
Boar charges and messes up Mist handily, choosing to KD him with his final attack.
Butchers Rage uses his free charge to come over to my side of the pitch for next turn.
Ghast moves foward.
Fillet chooses to Quickfoot and charge Dirge, she comes into Ghast's melee and bleeds Ghast and Dirge with Blood Rain.
Scalpel activates steamroller and charges Fillet with 13 dice, she uses defensive stance.
Wiffing, rolling not a single 6. She attacks twice more to gain some momentum.
Mist gets smacked by Meathook, bleeding him bringing him down to 4 wounds.
Turn 2
Score is 4-0
Silence 3, Scalpel 6, Ghast 3, Rage 1
My plan this turn is to have Scalpel kill Fillet, allow mist to die, and potentially get Ghast over to Boar to ruin his turn.
He puts 6 on Fillet 1 on Rage, Boar and Meathook, Truffles.
I activate Silence to help crowd on Fillet and Rage, expecting Scalpel to not be able to do the dirty deed by herself and wanting Fillet to activate last. I advance, punch Rage and gain a momentum, I chuck a tucked at boiler missing, and chuck a shutout with bonus time at Fillet and miss.
Crap...
Fillet activates, crashes into Ghast doing a bunch of damage to Ghast/Silence/Scalpel, bleeding the three of them. Ghast counter attacks during her activation to KD her down to force her to sacrifice her advance to continue attacking. She chooses to heal for 4 as well. In the bloody chaos she manages to kill Dirge.
Ghast KDs Fillet, KDs Rage and pushes rage away. Then advances into B2B contact with Fillet and keeping Rage within' 2" to neutralize him and bring him into my Rage's threat range.
Truffles choses to continue to prove her worth and murders Mist, she then advances over near the ball to grab it for next turn.
Scalpel fails to take down Fillet, but brings her to 3 wounds. Yet also decides to remove bleeding.
Boiler trundles.
My Rage contemplates going to kill fillet somehow, but instead realizes he must complete his ultimate goal and charges himself? With KD and a gang up from Ghast rage does exactly enough damage to kill himself, awkward.
Unfortunately this puts my Rage within Charge range of his Boar. I'll admit that his boar had absolutely no charge targets until this moment, I felt that it was worth putting his Rage into the dirt and then potentially controlling boar for the rest of the game.
Due to him killing Dirge and Mist I have no more activations and him three.
Boar charges in, Meathook advances and stabs Rage.
Not killing Fillet sucked because all of my players kept bleeding and took a bunch of damage two turns in a row.
Turn 3
Score is 6-4
Scalpel gets 4, Silence 4, Ghast 1, Mist 3.
Mist comes back on to threaten a Goal for later he feels pretty safe on the other side of the pitch.
My plan is for Silence to redeem himself and kill Fillet himself, if he has any influence left over I can use it to Tucked/Shutout and Bring back dirge. Issue is I need to do 7 damage, so I expect to need all 4. First attack cranks it to do 3 damage, so I'm able to shutout Boar and revive Dirge.
Meathook kills Rage and walks midfield.
Dirge Crowds boar and Truffles grabs the ball, passes to Boiler with bonus time, who pass-and-moves to my side of the pitch.
Ghast KDs Boar to prepare for the Scalpel beatings.
Boiler with only 1 influence is unable to get over to the goal so he gets over to that side to threaten for later.
Scalpel advances over to Boar and genereates as much momentum as possible and moves over near his boxes to threaten the goal. I use my Legendary to pull boiler within' mists threat Range.
Boar flounders against Ghast. Mist steals the ball off Boiler and passes to Scalpel.
Turn 4
The Score is 8-6 and with my lead in momentum I go first.
I allocate 6 influence to Scalpel who has the ball, 3 on Ghast and 4 on Mist as back up. He brings back Rage and Fillet in case I am unable to score the goal.
Scalpel advances to Rage and generates 3 momentum and dodges b2b with the goal, so that she can shoot at the goal 3 times with 3 influence and 3 momentum. With the first shot, I reveal tap in and am able to score.
For this match I was extremely worried about Fillet after what happened from Tapper last game, and thus I brought my crutch in that of Mist, with him allowing me a more aggressive scoring method I only need 2 take outs to finish the game with Scalpel generally being able to score a goal herself. I feel that during turn 1, after I scored, my opponent could have gained a bunch of momentum and allowed himself to go first. Instead he chose to come forward to threaten my players, which allowed me to in turn, fight him and set up for the rest of the game. Fillet still ended up doing a hell of a lot of damage even though she was controlled for a decent portion of the game. Had this gone another way I would have had to scratch my way back into the game after Fillet killed my team.
I will definitely need more practice against Fillet. She's scary and Scalpel is so much easier to kill than Obulus.
It was awesome to get a great game in against my local Bryan, he's been doing a good job of helping the community grow and coming out to play when he totally should be sleeping. Be careful all you out there because the next battle report between us will be him decimating me, ha!
Until next time!
