40SS Viks (daniello_s) vs Lucius (Gavin)
Deployment: Flank Deployment
Strategy: Reckoning
Schemes: ALITS, Power Ritual, Deliver Message, Distract, Bodyguard
Gavin brought Lucius (and he played him the first time ever) with:
Lucius (don't remember any unpgrades on him) - 7 pool
Guild Lawyer
2x Guild Guard
Death Marshal
Francisco Ortega
Santiago Ortega (I think he had some upgrade but again can't remind myself which one...)
I took:
Ash Viki (3SS pool)- Sisters in Spirit, Sisters in Fury, Synchronized Slaying
Blood Viki - Mark of Shez'uul, Oathkeeper
Maliafux Child
2x Convict Gunslinger
Bishop
Desperate Merc
Gavin announced his schemes: Deliver the Message and Power Ritual
I announced one scheme: Power Ritual. Other I kept secret - Bodyguard on one of the Convict Gunslinger girl (black-haired one).
I won the flip and decided to deploy first.
After deployment it looked lie that:
Turn 1 was and advance into positions - I was preparing for second turn sling-shot, Gavin came closer to two table corners to drop scheme markers.
Score: Viks 0 - Lucius 0
On Turn 2 - I tried to kill Guild Guard with Gunslinger and his Rapid Fire but I failed miserably (1 wound inflicted...), Guild Lawyer 'cursed' Bishop so whenever Bishop hit someone in close combat would suffer one damage plus he Slow him down. Bishop used a chance and charged Lawyer killing him (and he suffered 2 wounds in process). Guild Guards hid behind building (where Lawyer died nearby). I have sling-shot fully buffed Blood Viki between Lucius and Marshal but again I failed miserably and did nothing to Lucius (soulstones were used) but I killed Marshal. Lucius used his movemnet trick with scheme marker and switch places with Francisco. Then Ortegas tried to kill Blood Viki but this time I had a lot of luck plus I burned two soulstones to keep her alive. Thankfully Child casted healing on nearby Ash successfully so Blood Viki came to life (at least a bit).
(Below - Bishop starts her killing spree. Scheme marker in the corner are Lawyer remains...)
Upkeep phase Turn 2: Viks +1VP for strategy;
Score: Viks 1 - Lucius 0
On Turn 3 Guild Guard tried to Menace Bishop with no success and paid this try with his life.
Blood Viki traded hits with Francisco - she was barely harmed and Francisco was left with one wound remaining. Santiago tried to kill Blood but again she survived with small scratch only.
Desperate Merc run towards Bishop in the other corner of the table. Lucius run and dropped scheme marker in third corner.
Gunslinger and Ash positioned themselves to strike next turn.
I announced Bodyguard scheme now.
(Below - Ortegas dance with Blood Viki and Ash and Gunslinger slowly join the party).
Upkeep phase Turn 3: No VP scored by either side.
Score: Viks 1 - Lucius 0
On turn 4 Gavin won initiative and used Francisco's action to get in base contact with Ash and did a swing but missed. I couldn't understand why he did that but the he explained that his next activation would be to run Lucius, drop scheme marker/swap places with Francisco and then Deliver the Message. All would be fine if not my Blood Viki who charged Santiago they way that she was also 2'' from Lucius. And because I had very good hand with high Masks I was able to swing at Santiago like a mad and in the same time trigger Whirlwind on Lucius - both guys were dead by the end of her activation.
On the other corner second Guild Guard took a peek from behind the house corner and tried to Menace Bishop with little success. In return Bishop killed this Guard. At this moment the game was almost over as the only model's left for Gavin was Francisco.
Ash Viki easily killed Francisco and run towards third corner to remove Gavin's scheme marker.
Desperate Merc dropped scheme marker in second corner and move b2b with Gavin's scheme marker.
Upkeep phase Turn 4: Viks +1VP for strategy.
Score: Viks 2 - Lucius 0
Turn 5 was quick - I removed two scheme markers and denied Gavin 2VP for his Power Ritual.
Game ended this turn.
Upkeep phase Turn : Viks +1VP for strategy, +3VP for Bodyguard and +3VP for Power Ritual; Lucius +1VP for Power Ritual
Final score: Viks 9 - Lucius 1
