Start of game setup

My plan was to use Pikemen as "anvil" to hold my zone against the cavalry, and use Winterguard , Widowmakers and Eliminators  to sweep through the right flank using the Spriggan's targeting flairs.

A good plan. I've got to try to to remember my plans once I actually start playing the game.

End of round 1 (khador moved 2nd).

Pikemen moved ran forward, then mini-feated into shield wall. I wanted to get inside charge range of the cavalry/Malice (I'm really scared of Malice). This meant the pikemen were way up the field for the 2nd game running. In retrospect, there was no huge advantage in getting them that far advanced.

Goreshade moved a bunch of models up, essentially creating frozen walls in front of my models, locking the pikemen and the Winterguard down.

I feated, charging with the Spriggan and mini-feating with the Assassins to charge through the Pikemen. The Kayazy knocked off a lot of strong models - I'm very keen to keep experimenting with how to make best use of Kayazi charging.

The calvary counter-charge knocked out the core of the Pikemen (need to remember to up-keep shield wall). The Bane Thralls regenerated behind my lines, leaving me seriously out-attritioned. At that point I had a go at an assasintation run with Sorscha. My usual Freezing Grip attempt. Wasn't impossible, but failed. Conceded at that point.

I'm still struggling with getting all 50 points in the game - A&H were spectators, as were the eliminators (apart from one generously-offered target).
