Battle Report #64: Haley2 vs Haley2 (Norwegian Masters 2017 #3)

Oh gods, please, no no no, not this bullshit again. After the previous game against Vlad2 I draw Cygnar and Morten with his Haley2/Haley3 pairing. Same opponent as the Internal Affairs VII tournament, almost identical list, at least one Haley too many on the board. Again, everyone who saw it said we deserved each other! Where is the sympathy for the Swan, I ask?

Nice Major Victoria Haley (75 points)

Naughty Major Victoria Haley (75 points)

Why U Do Dis Morten

A slightly worse version of my list. Morten did not have time to paint everything, so he loses a free solo compared to me.

Deployment

I win the die roll. Line of Lightning Immune models on both sides. These guys have the most expensive clubs ever.

Turn 1

I run up

Stuff stands away from each other.

Turn 2

I Dominate out the Ironclad and shoot it a lot with the Stormwall, but it does not lose any systems.

Ironclad smashes Thorn, not good. But, Morten had placed Haley2 too far back to move into the killbox without running. He decided to lose two points instead of not casting any spells. Either way, it's a total disaster for him.

2-0

Turn 3

Normally whoever feats last wins, but Morten's misplay gives me a golden opportunity. I go up to the flag, feat, and jam so that he cannot possible get anything in to contest. The game is in reality done at this point.

3-0

Morten counterfeats, but cannot contest.

4-0

Turn 4

I pass.

5-0

At least it was over quickly

Post Mortem

Morten derped and I won. If I never, ever, play this bullshit matchup again, it's too soon. On the plus side, the game was done in 40 minutes or something, so we got a lot of time relax and grab a beer.
