Yes, kinda an odd name for these forums. A Cryxan friend of mine has taken to documenting some of our Vassal matches of late and I thought I would put the link up in case anyone was curious. A lot of our matches are testing various things out, but from time to time one or the other asks for something with a bit more... teeth. (IE double lances, Haley2 Thornwall, etc. get deployed.) Or the occasional random thematic thing. We also took the time to move both of our painting logs over - which proved very handy considering the last few days.

Nice reports, especially because they show the opponent perspective.
There were some rules errors though, in that last report for example was a spell shield guarded, which is not possible. Shield guard works only against ranged attacks.
Keep up playing and reporting :-)

Wow, really should have caught that. I've had enough spells flung my way with Triumph or sentinels around I couldn't block. Eh well, thanks! I think the next match is going to be a test of the new faction actually, so we shall see how that goes.

I think your battle report might be selling me on a Sentinel over a Firefly. I am wondering if the Firefly isn't a 'win more' situation of trying to get the hurricane turned up as high as it can go. The sentinel does a lot to protect the super squishy Caine and Co, and on a solid chain gun roll can actually pull a lot of weight on the feat turn.

That was my thought as well; given how far up he plays and that ace can't do much for the other two, I was less than fond of the thought of him getting sniped.
That said this was vs Cryx, which isn't precisely known for high armor. So the question is how often is that added +4 damage a turn win more against something like Khador, but it seemed worth it from a theory standpoint.

Great reports! I really like to read high quality content. Give us more, please Firefly in 3Caine list is not only for +2 damage on Hurricane. Far from it. The biggest issue for this list are infantry swarms and I took Firefly for Lightning Generator. It is also much better in melee than Sentinel. Reach and 13 P+S means that it can easily unjam Chargers. It's a shame that it doesn't have Electro Leap on Glaive anymore but maybe it would be too much? I played around 20 games (it's not much but I'm not Jarle  ) with this list and I wouldn't change anything. But if Ghost Fleet is not popular in your meta then I completely understand picking Sentinel. Shield Guard is very nice but it is also great for SR2016 scenarios. |

Ahhh, that makes sense. I actually operate in a very... skewed... environment. There are at least 4 Khador players here, two Cygnar inclusing me, a Circle or two, one Trollblood, one Skorne and one guy that can play Circle or Convergence. Only one Cryx though, and I have yet to face him. So as a rule arm and beast/jack heavy
That said, my usual online opponent is Kavrae, and given his faction... thanks for the info!

OK I've gotta ask. Did you create all the graphic content for the models yourself? I love the look and the schematic feel to the reports.

Thanks! We can't really take credit for the model graphics though. We actually live pretty far away from one another, so we use a program called Vassal to play against each other once a week or so.
