Eoghan picked Bodyguard (Mortimer) and Breakthrough - both not revealed.
I picked Bodyguard (Librarian) and ALITS - both not revealed also.
Table setup:
Nicodem won deployment flip and allowed me to deploy first. I was hoping to deploy second and try to snipe out Mortimer's upgrade so I wasn't too happy about the fact I have to deploy first.
Crews deployment:
My plan was to use Levy's killing nature to score small points on Nico's minions when the rest of the clue will hang around Sue and her Man in Black aura and support Levi with fire support. Plan was good but as usual I didn't stick to it...
Turn 1
Levi won initiative but handed it over to Nicodem.
As usual Motrimer hurt himself and also he dug out a bone so Nicodem could summon Punk Zombie and Flesh Construct.
Hans sniped Bete. Sue cast Man in Black and she resisted two Lure attempts from Belles. Unfortunately for some reason I decided to move whole gun line forward (under Sue's protection) but again I don't know why I did that instead of moving double walk Librarian safely behind the building on the left (as I did) and then move there Levy to play a peek-a-boo game - unbury him in the corner of the building - shoot something - kill somethin - score VP points for strategy.
Anyway - Flesh Construct and Punk Zombie moved towards gallow and I decided to shoot - I drop their wounds to last remaining but Nurse fully healed Flesh Construct paralyzing him as well.
Canine remains run behind building on the left.
Upkeep phase - no VP points for either side Score after turn 1: Levy 0 - Nicodem 0
Turn 2
Levi won initiative and I made second, this time grave mistake - instead of activating Sue to defend from lure I activated Lazarus who shot Flesh Construct and killed nearby Punk Zombie with blast.
Then Belles lured Sue 4 times so she ended up in the middle of Nicodem's team. To be honest my hand wasn't to good and Belles were flipping good cards like crazy...
In this moment I knew I'm in BIG trouble.
Nico summoned Punk Zombie, made him fast and then summoned another Punk Zombie.
Eventually Sue was killed in the hail of blows. Levy killed one of the Punk Zombies.
Canine Remains moved behind the building, I moved Librarian behind second building and drop the Scheme Marker on the centre line
Both crews scored 2 kill points this turn so no VP was scored this turn.
Upkeep phase - no VP points for either side Score after turn 2: Levy 0 - Nicodem 0
Turn 3
Nicodem won initiative and immediately Belles attempted to Lure Alyce - I tried to defend her as much as I can but again they Lured me 4 times making me discard 2 cards in process! All my cheats were beaten by Nico's cheats... So Alyce was not in the trouble...
She tried to hit Flesh Construct but I was out of cards in my hand and Construct had positive flips form being close to Nico so she did nothing. Nicodem summoned one Punk Zombie and gave him Fast condition.
Alyce survived beating from nearby Punk Zombie but I had to use 2 soul stones to prevent damage.
Fast Punk Zombie moved and charged Lazarus hurting him a lot. I charged Punk Zombie with Abomination but I did nothing.
After that Lazarus killed Punk Zombie and Bete appeared next to him. Lazarus swung at her but missed. So I tried to heal him with his 0 action - Black Joker! Sweet...
Bete finished Lazarus and I was about to call the game but the I decided to kill Bete with Lazarus. So I shot her. Because she was engaged with Abomination I flipped for randomized target - first shot hit Abomination but poor construct dodged the bullet. Second shot was aimed at Bete but she flipped crazy good for defence. Third got Abomination and killed it...
After that I called the game...
I made many mistakes during that game. I really should play guerilla-Levy game (shoot, kill, hide) and I really shouldn't lose Sue so easily.
The fact also is that Rotten Belles are waaay to good. 5SS for a model with crazy high Ca action with crazy high range? Come on...
But as I said I made to many mistakes to win this game - another lesson has been learnt hard way :D
Also I'd like to thanks my friend - Michal from Reycast for priding me with the nice terrains for Malifaux.
I'm planning to expand those terrains further as quality of his products are just awesome.
Please fell free to have a look at his Facebook page and judge yourselves :D
