Battle Report #73: Nemo3 vs Ossrum

After being forced to wait through the epic Maddox vs Harkevich 8-round grind game, Nico was ready to kill me. He wanted to try his gunbunnies against Nemo3.

I made a new Nemo3 Storm Division list.

Nico plotting his revenge

Artificer General Nemo (75 points)

Artificer General Nemo & Storm Chaser Finch (Nemo3)
* Squire
* Dynamo
* Firefly
* Lancer
Journeyman Warcaster
* Firefly
Captain Arlan Strangewayes
Major Katherine Laddermore
5+5 Storm Lances
Storm Tower

General Ossrum (75 points)

I forgot to note the exact list, but basically it's two artillery, Ayana & Holt, Eyriss 1, Kell, 10 Forge Guard, and all the bunnies you can fit.

Deployment

I win the roll and spread out.

Round 1

I run up outside his shoot + Energizer back out range threat.

Kell snipes away a Storm Lance.

Round 2

It's hard to get anything done, but I decide to start the trades by running up a Firefly and leaping Kell away,

Bunnies move up and start shooting. Three Lances and the Firefly die.

Round 3

I clear out the left and right zones, Dynamo removing the objective, scoring three points. I hope to use this play and then clear my own zone twice for the win.

3-0

Nemo is not well enough protected, though. I should have had him further to the right behind the cloud. Ossrum feats. The bunnies and artillery shoot away a Storm Lance, Eyriss with snipe plinks away my Focus, and then I get shot to bits.

Post Mortem

Nico got his revenge in record time. I think this is a pretty difficuly matchup for both sides. Nemo is not tough, but also killing Storm Lances at ARM 19/20 is a little bit outside what the bunnies do easily, and a well timed feat can kill a lot of bunnies.
