Skirmish Battle Report - Iden vs Bossk

 


Unable to secure a sixth player for the Easter league a bye round (average score of all players rounded up) was enforced for each player. Currently the scores were as follows:

James - 3 points
Chrace - 3 points
Aeson - 1 point
Landon - 1 point
Alex - 2 points 

This was round 2 of a 5 round series and Chrace opted to take the bye round for this round putting Landon vs Alex. Landon opted to change lists and take a score hit (-1 point) not content with his last performance even though I couldn't talk him out of it.

Lists:

Landon returned to Iden Versio who he has got a bit of experience with:

493/800

5 Activations

Iden Versio (Offensive Push, Hunter, Iden's TL-50 Repeater)

Snowtroopers (Gideon Hask, Imperial Comms Technician, HQ Uplink)

Snowtroopers (Snowtrooper)

2x Imperial Special Forces (T-21 Special Forces Trooper, Hunter, Offensive Push)

Ambush•, Pulse Scan•, Push••, Concussive Blast••, Assault•••, Tactical Strike•••, Standing Orders••••


Alex had a single game of Legion upon release to learn the rules with me years ago so it would be another introduction game for him.

498/500

TX-225 GAVw Occupier Combat Assault Tank (First Sergeant Arbmab)

Objectives:




Deployment:


Imperial Special Forces infiltrate further afield.


Turn 1 - Ambush (1 pip) vs Push (2 pips)

HQ Uplink popped onto Snowtroopers (Gideon's unit), Gideon coordinates. Ambush token is placed on infiltrating special forces. Shoretroopers and Tank take tokens.

ISF take a dodge and standby token. Shoretroopers move out to flank and take a standby token. 

Tank rolls up and shoots onto the ISF for suppression only (son forgot about standby). Second ISF unit triggers standby and opens up on tank causing a single wound.

Iden pushes forward for no damage onto the tank. Snowtroopers no damage onto tank. 

Bossk drops an ISF soldier from range with his mortar rifle. Shores match Bossk's damage.



Turn 2 - Tactical Strike (3 pip) vs Ambush (1 pip)

The tank with a faceup order token rolls up dropping a pair of snowtroopers. ISF push up with aims and takes out 3 shoretroopers. Officer repositions and gives out aim tokens to Bossk and Shoretroopers. ISF rally, shoot onto Bossk for 3 wounds.

Shoretroopers delete a pair of ISF then Iden sneaks up dropping Bossk. Second unit of Shores move up and wipe out the Snowtroopers leaving Gideon alone. Rest of the fire goes onto tank for no damage.

Turn 3 - Concussive Blast (2 pip) vs Standing Orders (4 pip)

Iden shoots onto the tank for no damage. Tank moves up and pivots shooting onto the Snowtroopers killing 3. Gideon activates and double moves triggering steady. Although no damage goes onto the Shoretroopers a single suppression token. Shoretroopers kill Gideon. Full strength ISF unit wipes out the remaining Shoretrooper unit.




Turn 4 - Assault (3 pip) vs Coordinated Fire (3 pip)

Shoretroopers fail to take any bodies from the full strength ISF passing their aim token to the tank. Iden drops the Imperial Officer. Tank kills the remaining Snowtroopers.



Turn 5 - Push vs Standing Orders

Lone ISF pushes into enemy deployment zone. Shoretroopers put 5 wounds onto Iden. She moves off into safety. Tank drops a single ISF however they move off into the enemy deployment zone for the win.

Result - Imperial victory

Conclusion

Losing Bossk was a devastating blow to Alex's forces and hard to recover back from. Despite having the tank it wasn't able to put out the damage it needed to in order to delete/cripple units. Landon played the objective very well and snuck into the enemy deployment zone for the win. The league score is now as follows:

James - 3 points (1W/0L/0D)
Chrace - 3 points (1W/0L/0D)
Aeson - 1 point (1W/0L/0D)
Landon - 3 point (1W/1L/0D)
Alex - 3 points (0W/1L/0D) 

Up next is James running Han Solo versus Aeson running a Veers and AT-ST list.
