Game Summary

We meet Finnish Team Iki-Turso in the first round.

I prefer Caine into Dusk or Khymaera. Lucant and Khador are hard to shoot away, even for Kraye. Cygnar wants Caine into Sparkhammer and Kraye into Calder, so a bit of list Chicken there.

I end up being paired into Khymaera lead by Kyrrax with double Wyvern, which I am happy with. Poor Endre got thrown under the bus against Lucant, but the rest of the matchups are good.

I went 2nd due to shorter payload distance. It was a very tight game, we both played careful and few models died. 

I delivered the payload, and my opponent could not contest and score enough next round, so I won 10-7 on scenario.

My opponent got a bit screwed on scenario by not noticing a Ranger behind a building, that could run to contest. I love the 2.5D terrain, but it's easy to forget that buildings can obscure the line of sight for players as well as for models! It really was not my intention to hide anything, but I felt a bit bad about this afterwards.

Hugin went 4-1, very happy with the start!

Now it's the painting competition, and lunch!
