Another day, another lesson. I just flat-out misjudged this one.

Setup. I lost the roll, and went second. I had a plan to keep the Kayazy behind the Winterguard, ready for a feat charge through the middle. I was also committed to spreading out my Winterguard more than I have done. It turned out that these two ideas weren't very compatible. I hoped the marksmen and hunters could do work on the right flank.

In turn 1 we plodded towards each other. Here I realised that my plan with the Kayazy was a pretty silly one. I managed to pop off one servitor with a marksman, otherwise there was no action of significance.

Now the AOE starts. Honestly, I'd looked at his models and assumed they'd be looking to get into melee. Turns out of was wrong. I've got to figure out a way to scan cards quickly before I start to set up.

My Winterguard we slowly getting chewed through by the AOEs. I managed to get through servitors, which had been freaking me out a bit. I lost Yuri and the Manhunter pretty trivially on the right flank - they really weren't up to the charge I put them into.

Now things had gone really wrong. It was clear I was getting chewed through, and there wasn't a whole lot I could do to stop it. Many, many models taken off the board with little reward in return.

With things pretty much out of my hands, Josh pointed out a potential assassination option for Sorscha. It actually may have been viable, but a few poor rolls put and end to that idea. I appreciate being given the option to try the long-shot assassination, as I've gotten out of the habit of looking for those in 50 point games. 

All in all, I was never really in this one. Rack 'em again......
