BATTLE REPORT

I won the dice roll and decided to go first. My opponent chose a board edge with an elevated position that covered majority of the lanes of advance. He took the Yan Hou with the Nerocenetic double missiles. I had several 50/50 ish chances of putting it down, which is not ideal and I failed all of them. Lost most of my hitting power on my active turn of turn one. It finally convinced me of taking the Molotok Marauder for the Haris. The HRL has become redundant since being able to take the ML MM in the Grunt core and Rosie in the Marauder Haris. Being able to forward deploy inside the Yan Hou’s zero range band and having the B5 Molotok would have been a better solution to that problem.

I was able to forward observe one of his models for the secondary objective and wip the HVT for one primary. On his active turn his Ru Shi smoke killed my Foxtrot, a sniper grunt, but was put down on a crit from my Haris Marauder.

My turn two was pretty uneventful. I couldn’t get any more objectives and killed a couple of his minor pieces. His turn two saw his Mowang stomp through my right flank and kill more of my stuff.

I had a chance to win, by forcing him to kill my Marauder and put me into retreat, but I dodged out of the way. If I’d been in retreat at the top of my next turn, I would have won, but I didn’t think of that until it was too late.

My turn three, the Haris Marauder made a Hail Mary run for the HVT, but sadly the chances weren’t EXACTLY a MILLION to ONE. He died.

My opponent scored a secondary and a second primary for the win.

It was a good game and hard fought. Cudos to my opponent. He just started playing Infinity about eight months ago and has learned so much. It was exciting to see him beat the tar out of me.

Sorry there aren't a ton of pictures. After we were several beers in I remembered to start taking pictures.
