Flank, Head Hunter
Claim Jump, Dig their Graves, Inspection, Last Stand, Frame for Murder

This week I played against Ben 3 times, which is not usual, but there was a lack of opponents and the games are always really nice. I hope the Pics are better this time. We used his Camera.

Ten Thunders: (Dig their Graves, Frame for Murder)

• Yan Lo (Misdirect, Fortify the Spirit) 4 SS
• Chiaki (Pull of the Graves) [Frame for Murder]
• Yin (Smoke Grenades)
• Izamu
• Soul Porter
• Goryo
• Sensei Yu (Wandering River Style)

Outcast: (Inspection, Claim Jump)

• Leveticus (Oathkeeper, Scout the Field) 6 SS
• Desolate Engine (Oathkeeper)
• Strongarm (Oathkeeper)
• Ashes & Dust (Scout the Field)
• Abomination
• 2x Hollow Waif

Deployment:

Ben had to deploy first.

Turn 1

I won the flip for Initiative and let Ben go first. Levi did his Scout the field move.

• 1^st activation TT: Soul Porter pushed Izamu and Yan Lo.
• 1^st activation OC: My first Waif double walked towards the centerline-corner.
• 2^nd activation TT: The Goryo summoned a Seishin and walked once towards the center.
• 2^nd activation OC: I wanted to draw some resources and so I activated Levi, walked once and took a focus shot on Yu (using Scout the Field) dealing 3 damage and giving him slow. Then I shot on Chiaki which cost Ben a high card to block it.
• 3^rd activation TT: Chiaki walked once and used her dispel on Yu, luckily hitting the heal trigger.
• 3^rd activation OC: Second Waif double walked to the other centerline-corner.
• 4^th activation TT: Yin double walked.
• 4^th activation OC: The summoned Waif walked a bit.
• 5^th activation TT: Sensei Yu pushed the Soul Porter once and used his fast push on Yan Lo.
• 5^th activation OC: Abo targeted A&D with the card draw action and walked once.
• 6^th activation TT: Seishin activated.
• 6^th activation OC: A&D triple walked to engage Yin and Chiaki.
• 7^th activation TT: Yan Lo walked, killed the Seishin and then shot the Strongarm twice for a bit damage. And gave himself Impossible to wound. (Ben was a bit afraid of Levi/Strongarm at this moment, but forgot about the Engine against which Incorporeal would have been much better.)
• 7^th activation OC: Strongarm dropped Oathkeeper, walked and charged Izamu for good damage.
• 8^th activation TT: Izamu healed twice for 4 wounds. And hit the Strongarm once.
• 8^th activation OC: Desolate Engine took his chance dropped Oathkeeper, walked and then charged Yan Lo (since there were a lot of minus flips against Yan Lo and only 1/3 of my deck was left, containing the RJ I was definitely hoping for it. And it happened. So I hit the Master of Path 3 times, dealing Weak twice and one RJ. After 3 SS Yan lo had still only 2 wounds left. (15 damage, 5 prevented)

Turn 2

Ben won initiative and went first.

• 1^st activation TT: Yu used his (0) Action to copy the heal action and bring Yan Lo back to 6 wounds. Then he pushed his Master towards the Strongarm and Izamu to use Misdirect and then he fast pushed the Goryo.   
• 1^st activation OC: Knowing that the fast Goryo would shred my Strongarm into pieces, I chose to kill it first. Strongarm charged and destroyed it.
• 2^nd activation TT: Yan Lo used his chance by doing a lightning dance with my Engine to pick up a Head maker and deal some damage to my Strongarm.
• 2^nd activation OC: The Desolate Engine then walked once and killed the TT Master.
• 3^rd activation TT: Soul Porter attacked the Strongarm Suit twice with his 3” Ml range.
• 3^rd activation OC: A&D shredded Chiaki with 3 AP.
• 4^th activation TT: Izamu then dropped the Strongarm to his last 2 wounds.
• 4^th activation OC: Levi dropped Oathkeeper and used his (0) to port in base contact with AD. Then he focused for his first AP and hit Yin double focused, stoning for a Tome. Hitting her, I cheated in severe damage to kill her and summon an Abo. Last two AP were used to pick up Chiakis Head.
• Other activations OC: My other model just walked towards the corners and the centerline to score me VPs in the following turns.

Ben scored Frame for Murder and Head Hunter, I scored Head Hunter 3-1 for TT.

The purple markers were our Head markers.

Turn 3

Ben won initiative and went first.

• 1^st activation TT: Ben wanted to score Dig their Graves so he needed a Scheme marker before killing my Strongarm. He activated Yu to push Izamu…BJ…. Then he pushed the Soul Porter to get trigger focus and used his ability to lay a Marker for free since he wasn’t engaged with anything.
• 1^st activation OC: Desolate Engine killed Izamu with Ml expert. And then it walked once and picked up a Head marker.
• 2^nd activation TT: Soul Porter failed killing the Strongarm…
• Other activations OC: Levi killed Soul Porter and he and Strongarm hurt Sensei Yu badly and my other models walked around and laid some Scheme marker. Sadly I wasn’t able to score Inspection.

I scored Head Hunter and Claim Jump 3-3.

Turn 4

I won initiative and went first.

• 1^st activation OC: Strongarm killed Sensei Yu.

From this moment on I just activated until end of turn 5. Sadly I could score Inspection only once because Levi was 1” to far away from the corner…

So the Game ended 3-8 for Outcast.

It is always fun to play against Ben and we both learn a lot from this games. And he is actually building a Yan Lo-Star Wars converted crew! How awesome is this? Looking forward to play against him, when we both have finished our projects.
