Feora, Protector of the Flame vs. Major Victoria Haley (Cygnar)
Loss: Scenario (5/0)
I forgot to get a photo of this one, sorry Ladies and Gents.
I'll keep this one brief, the game was just before the tournament at Harlequins. Having only ever faced a colossal once (aside from the Blight Bringer) I wanted to find one to play, equally the last tournament had two double Stormwall lists with eHaley. So with this in mind I organised a game with the local eHaley & Stormwall player.
I took my armour cracking eFeora list with the hope of smashing the Colossal and then using the Zealots to hold everything else until this happened.
It all went to plan with the exception of my inability to roll decent dice. In a single round a Vanquisher, Reckoner and Rhoven and Co charged the Stormwall and failed to cause more than 50% damage. At this point it all started to go horribly wrong, the Stormwall then proceeded to smash the Jacks and buy time. The Zealots worked well holding a unit of heavy cavalry up for the whole game.
Seeing Jacks falling over lead me to go for a hail-mary assassination run on eHaley. Looking back it was never going to work by the time I'd spent enough focus to get to where I needed to go I realised that due to the dead jack remains in the way I couldn't make the charge. So instead I paused and camped the two remaining focus and left her stood behind the Stormwall. Without a jack for escort and on only ARM19 the Stormwall turned around and promptly squashed her.

- Colossals are neither as big or as scary as I made out.
- eHaleys feat is absolutely brutal, essentially unless you have a gun you lose a turn.
- I need to stop doing hail-mary assassination runs I'd have been much better off camping all the focus, waiting another turn and then seeing where I was rather than throwing the game away.
