For Game Night we decided to try out the new Crossroads of Courage scenario where you had to escort Ol' Jeb to the mine entrance in your opponent's deployment zone. I had the pleasure of watching Austin (Cygnar) and Ryan (Cryx) play a close 5 hour 75 point game.
Austin played Kara Sloan with 2x Defenders, 2x Hunters, 2x Chargers, 2x Gun Mage Captain Adepts, Trencher Commandos, and Reinholdt. He was hoping to be the Attacker and easily kill Ol' Jeb with her feat turn but unfortunately he randomly was chosen to defend Ol' Jeb.
Ryan played the Witch Coven and brought a sweet Kraken along with 2x Stalkers, 2x Deathrippers, a Shrike, Satyxis Raiders + UA, 2x Pistol Wraiths and a Necrotech.
The board was heavy on terrain so Sloan couldn't get a quick assassination. On her feat turn she crippled the Kraken along with doing some work on the Stalkers.
It was looking grim as the Satyxis Raiders used Feedback to get Kara Sloan to 4 HP. Ol' Jeb was also trapped by a Shrike, a Pistol Wraith, and a Kraken that was closing in. Eventually a Defender was able to take out the Kraken and swing attrition over to Cygnar but it was too late. Cryx had jammed up Ol Jeb and killed everything around him so he couldn't Sucker. Eventually he was knocked down and made Stationary which locked him down for 2x turns. The Witches were able to shoot a spell and kill him for the win.
After that game, Austin and Ryan played another one with Ryan controlling Ol' Jeb. This time Austin feated with Sloan and tried to take out Ol' Jeb but he was able to transfer all the damage to the Satyxis Raiders. Ryan's retaliation was harsh as he moved up with his Kraken and shot a Hail Mary at Sloan on a hill. He needed 13's to hit and got it. He then cranked the damage roll and got her down to 2 HP. Feedback on a Charger took care of the rest.
Crossroads of Courage looks fun. Unfortunately I didn't get a game in because they took 1 hour turns. It was fun to watch though.
