In the center, the Stormwall advanced. He tried to fire his Metal Storms on the Choir but was out of reach. One of his Big Guns targeted the Bastion on the edge of the wood. A boosted attack roll and a damage roll later, the Bastions brotherly suffered 11 points of damage among them. The other Big Gun accomplished what the chain guns did not and killed one Chorister.

Gorman advanced and threw a smoke bomb.

The Revenger was allocated one Focus, Kreoss kept the rest.

The Revenger used its allocated Focus to charge the Nyss, and killed one

Kreoss advanced, and channeled ‹ Cleansing Fire › through the Revenger's arc node on the Gun Mages. The blast killed four, and the Gun Mages did not pass their morale check. Carvallo was also in the blast and received a boosted damage roll, but still he did not suffer any harm.

The Bastions advanced further into the wood to deny it to the Nyss.

The heavy 'jacks moved backwards out of Stormwalls charge range. The choir and solos took cover behind them, the Choir again shielding them from ranged weapons with the hymn of ‹ Passage › .

[Cygnar Turn 2 & Menoth Turn 3]

The Nyss moved backwards, risking two free strikes from the Revenger, and suffered 2 fallen. They passed their morale check, and took their revenge on the Revenger with a CRA, hit him but did not cause any damage.

The Stormwall advanced and placed a Lightning Pod in the wood, hitting two Bastions with the lightning between him and the pod. They suffered 0 and 5 damage. He then shot on the Revenger with the 1st Metal Storm (3 attacks): hit, boosted damage roll, 5 damage; hit, boosted damage roll, 6 damage (Arc Node and Cortex crippled); miss. He then shot on the Revenger with the 2nd Metal Storm (2 attacks): hit, boosted damage roll, 0 damage (triple 1); hit, 0 damage (snake eyes). Both Big Guns also fired on the Revenger, the first missed, the second hit and caused 7 points of damage, crippling the right arm.

The Reckoner missed the Stormwall with a boosted to hit roll from the Condemner. With the unboosted attack granted by ‹ Ancillary Attack › from the Vassal caused 1 point of damage and left the collossal burning.

The Choir again protected the Reckoner and Castigator with ‹ Passage › .

The Revenger moved back behind the wood and the Vassal Mechanik ran in B-to-B contact, in order to start badly needed repairs next turn. The Bastions moved backwards to cover the light 'jack.

[Cygnar Turn 3]

The fire continous effect on the Stormwall caused 3 points of damage.

Gorman advanced and threw ‹ Black Oil › on the Reckoner but missed.

The Stormwall charged a Bastion. With a boosted to hit roll and the auto-boost due to the charge he caused 11 points of damage which was again distributed among the Bastions. The ‹ Electro Leap › on Kreoss did not cause any damage. The second initial attack on the Bastion caused 9 points of damage which killed the Exemplar. The Lighting on Kreoss again caused no damage. With an additional attack, the Stormwall attacked Kreoss directly but this was again a miss.

Haley advanced and cast ‹ Chain Lightning › on the Stormwall, which was immune to its effect. It arched to the Paladin (0 damage) and to the Reckoner (0 damage). The Mechaniks again moved up to the Stonewall.

The Nyss advanced and shot on the Paladin, hit him but caused 0 damage.

The Piper of Ord advanced and played ‹ Dirge of Mist › on Haley.

Kreoss allocated 3 Focus to both the Reckoner and to the Castigator. He then used his ‹ Pierce › attack on the Stormwall and dealt 14 points of damage. His free additional Feat attack dealt 3 points of damage with a boosted damage roll.

The Paladin adanced to make room for more Protectorate models, moving along the base of Stormwall. Unfortunately I did not pay attention and moved him outside the front arc - the free strike killed him (stupid me).

Next, the Reckoner advanced in base to base contact with the Stormwall and caused 4, 9, 3, 3 and 9 points of damage.

The Castigator joined the fray and charged the Stormwall, causing 10 and 4 points of damage with his inital attacks - which wrecked the colossal; leaving a free Feat attack and 2 points of Fury unused.

The Choristers charged Gorman and caused 3 points of damage.

The Vassal advanced and used ‹ Enliven › on the Castigar.

The Exemplar Seneshal advanced and wrecked the Lighting Pod.

The Vassal Mechanik worked on the Revenger, but only managed to repair a single point of damage, but at least the Cortex was functional again.

The Bastions ran forward through the wood.

[Cygnar Turn 4]

The Mechaniks moved and lost three of their number to free strikes of the Bastions. Reinholdt granted ‹ Reload › to Haley.

The ‹ Reload › attack was boosted but missed. Finally, she cast ‹ Arcane Bolt › with a boosted attack roll on Kreoss but missed again.

The Nyss CRAed Kreoss, getting the aiming bonus for remaining stationary, but missed by one. The additional Feat CRA hit and caused 8 points of damage.

The Gun Mages also moved to attack Kreoss, but only one managed to draw LOS. He used ‹ Critical Brutal Damage › but missed with both his inital and his Feat attack.

Di Wulfe disengaged from the melee to throw something nice in Kreoss direction, but was killed by the Free Strike from the Chorister.

Finally, the Reckoner ‹ Assault › ed the knocked down Haley, and shot her dead before being able to engage her in H-to-H combat.
