Games at Schizo March 3, 2012

Had 2 games at Schizo last Saturday. It was my first time to visit there. Schizo is the haunt of the newer Warmachine players. Louie de Guzman invited us to play there and we took the offer. Kim and Kei arrived earlier than me along with Louie.

My first game was against Jose Arguelles aka Taks. We played Envelopment scenario from Steamroller 2012 with 7 points of reinforcements. He used Epic Magnus and his Tier 4 list. I was a noob using Epic Asphyxious for the first time. Taks played a bit more aggressively and almost always went for the assassination. He nearly did eGaspy in too. His rolls weren't going for him though. His first Oblit rocket attack from the first of his 2 Renegades did 3 points of damage. It was bad since the damage was all in. His last assassination attempt needed a total of 15 points to kill eGaspy. He rolled 14 total and eGaspy lives to see another round. My army then went for the kill. Taks was smart. He avoided killing my models so eGaspy wouldn't be that much of a threat.

Second game was vs Erickson Kwok aka Menite-Kei. Erick used Prime Serverius in this game. This was more straightforward affair as he wanted to see how eGaspy's feat works. Problem was he was rolling terribly in hitting or damaging my models. So Tartarus and the Bane Knights actually lived a turn more than they should have. Finally managed to kill them but the second wave Bane Thralls then went up to bat. Meanwhile, the Pistol Wraith was Death Chilling his Reckoner so was making it less effective than it should relegating it to a shooting platform. eGaspy then came up for his feat turn and Old Man Sevvy was pulled down by the Knights. Though Tartarus and the first Bane Knight made it interesting as they both missed Severius but with 8 more models to go, it got done by the 4th model.

Two interesting but very good games. The first one I really should have lost except for the bad or just missed to damage rolls. The second could also have gone either way had Erick managed to destroy Tartarus and the Bane Knights much earlier. Unfortunately was not able to take pics but hope I can take pics next time.
