21st - Yan Lo vs Perdita


This time I faced Sebastian and his Guild Crew. He is a player of another gaming club located in Katzelsdorf and they joined the great Malifaux community a few months ago because of their dissatisfaction with the new edition of Warma/Hordes. It was a nice and interesting game and I really enjoyed playing against his Perdita Crew.

Deployment:

I won the deployment flip and decided to deploy second.






Turn 1:

I won the Initiative flip and let Sebastian go first.
  • 1st Activation (GU): He started with activating Papa Loco who gave Perdita Hold this and walked twice.
  • 1st Activation (TT): I started with the Soul Porter and pushed Yin and the Emissary.
  • 2nd Activation (GU): Nino activated and shot my Sniper for 1 damage.
  • 2nd Activation (TT): The Goryo summoned a Seishin and walked once.
  • 3rd Activation (GU): Francisco gave his buff to Perdita and walked.
  • 3rd Activation (TT): The Seishin took a Walk-Action.
  • 4th Activation (GU):  The Enslaphed Nephilim pushed Perdita towards Francisco and Papa Loco.
  • 4th Activation (TT): Yan Lo discarded a card for Chi, killed the Seishin for another Chi and walked twice and ascended the Spirit Ascendant Upgrade. Emissary got Fast through the attachment of the Upgrade.
  • 5th Activation (GU): Abuela used Shotgun Wedding on the Peacekeeper and walked a bit.
  • 5th Activation (TT): My Katanaka Sniper killed the Enslaphed Nephilim with a focused shot.
  • 6th Activation (GU): Perdita repositioned herself and used her (0) to ignore incorporeal, focused once and shot Yan Lo for 2 damage. Her last AP was used for the Finger on the Trigger Action.
  • 6th Activation (TT): Yin walked twice.
  • 7th Activation (GU):  Peacekeeper walked.
  • 7th Activation (TT): Emissary pushed the Lone Swordsman and gave him the Fast condition. After that walked once and casted on the Peacekeeper for 1 damage.
  • 8th and 9th Activation (TT): The Lone Swordsman discarded two cards to gain Reactivate and called the Peacekeeper his target. He walked once, dropped Recalled Training and charged it for 6 damage and killed it with his second Activation.

The Score after the first Turn was 3-0, because of Quick Murder on the Peacekeeper. Sebastian also revealed Last Stand as one of his Schemes this turn.


  
Turn 2:

I got again the Initiative and decided to activate first.
  • 1st Activation (TT): I activated the Lone Swordsman who pushed himself out of Abuela’s Aura and charged her for 4 damage.
  • 1st Activation (GU): Perdita activated and killed the Emissary with 3 Attacks and so Sebastian also scored 3 VPs for A Quick Murder.
  •   2nd Activation (TT): Soul Porter walked and pushed Yin.
  • 2nd Activation (GU): Papa Loco buffed Perdita and walked in safety from my sniper.
  •  3rd Activation (TT): Yin tried her (0) on Perdita but failed and failed her two attacks against her.
  •  3rd Activation (GU): Francisco activated and buffed Perdita again and walked twice.
  •  4th Activation (TT): Sniper activated and killed Nino with a focused shot.
  •  4th Activation (GU): Abuela tried to hit the Lone Swordsman but failed with her Ml-Attack and after that walked inside the engagement
  • 5th Activation (TT): Yan Lo walked a bit, dropped a Scheme Marker casted his Lightning Dance on Francisco and placed himself into engagement with Perdita and Francisco and ascended the Ash Ascendant Upgrade.
  •  6th Activation (TT): Goryo walked once and placed a Scheme Marker in 2” to the Centre Line.

The Score after this round was 5-5. I scored Claim Jump and Extraction. Sebastian scored Quick Murder, Extraction and Last Stand.



Turn 3:

Sebastian won the Initiative flip and activated his first model.

  • 1st Activation (GU): Francisco activated, walked inside the engagement range of Yan Lo and used his place to get to the Lone Swordsman and pushed Abuela away. He also activated Finesse.
  • 1st Activation (TT): Yin used her (0) on Perdita and attacked her once for 2 damage and her “No walk condition” and killed Abuela with her second Attack.
  • 2nd Activation (GU): Papa Loco walked once and used his pulse, I cheated to prevent damage on Yan Lo, but Yin got 6 damage.
  • 2nd Activation (TT): The Soul Porter pushed Yin and took a Walk-Action.
  • 3rd Activation (GU): Perdita attacked Yan Lo but only managed to hit once for 2 damage.
  • 3rd Activation (TT): Yan Lo discarded a Card for Chi, used his Lightning Dance against Perdita to get away from Papa Loco and placed Perdita next to Yin. He attacked Perdita twice for 2 damage.
  • 4th Activation (TT): Sniper tried to kill Papa Loco but only dealt 2 damage.
  • 5th Activation (TT): The Lone Swordsman disengaged from Francisco but only on the second attempt.
  • 6th Activation (TT): Goryo used his (0) against Perdita and charged her for 4 damage.

We both scored from Extraction, so the Score after Turn 3 was 6-6, but I got more models so I placed the Marker. I am sorry but I forgot to take a picture after this turn.



Turn 4 & Turn 5:

I got the Initiative and started this turn. 
  • 1st Activation (TT): The Lone Swordsman discarded two cards and named Francisco his target and dealt enough damage to get him to hard to kill
  • 1st Activation (GU): Francisco placed himself next to Yin and pushed Perdita out of engagement and hit the Goryo for 2 damage, he also used companion on Papa Loco.
  • 2nd Activation (GU): Papa Loco walked up to my models and used his pulse which all models survived, but Papa Loco killed himself and so my Goryo, Yin and the Soul Porter died.
  • 2nd Activation (TT): Yan Lo killed Perdita with two attacks and also killed Francisco.
  • 3rd Activation (TT): Sniper walks up to the Extraction Marker.

The Lone Swordsman sacrificed itself and I scored from Extraction this turn, therefore the score after turn 4 was 7-6.



The only models on the table were Yan Lo and my sniper so I scored again for Extraction and Claim Jump. The Final Score was 9-6.


We both enjoyed the game and I was again impressed how hard hitting Papa Loco and Perdita are. I got very lucky with my flips this game and feel a little bit sorry for the flips and the outcome of this game, but I think 9-6 is a very good result.
