Dau Raid

The boyz were planning to have a road trip to Dau for some airsoft supplies, and after some weather interference and last-minute change of plans, only five of us pushed through: me, Arvin, Pork, Obi and Jake. The supposed trip was supposed to be short, but between the five of us, stops for food and CR needs made the trip longer. Weather was drizzly cool and traffic was, according to Jake, "why couldn't all roads be like this?!?"

All of us got storage implements in one form or another: Pork got a metal ammo case, I got a heavy-duty backpack, Obi got a Ryu-style duffel bag, Arv and Jake got bags for carrying their WARMACHINE models with. They also got other phat lootage for the others who couldn't make the trip.

Went straight to Greenhills and played some WARMACHINE at Fortress right after the raid.

Jake's Brisbane played against Marlo's Vlad: Jake managed to reduce a lot of Marlo's forces, but failed to take down the Dark Prince with surging Blood of Kings. Marlo victorious in 500 points Assassination.

I got to play using Irusk and the Iron Rain theme against Pork and his Ashlynn (who is longing for some tabletop game action). Inhospitable Ground effectively forcing Pork into a slow offensive. Spriggan's Flares and Winter Guards' Mark Target make for more effective Mortar shooting, taking out a Mule's cannon arm early in the game, while two units of Greylords made for jack traffic control. I managed to take down several elements from Pork's force piece by piece while staying away via Inhospitable Ground. Ashlynn reduces Irusk to 4 damage with fancy shooting and spellcasting, but rendering herself unguarded. Irusk under his own Undying Loyalty bonus takes the mercenary warcaster down for an assassination victory in 500 Divide and Conquer.

Boyz take dinner at Le Ching before closing time at Fortress. Kei and Les do a raid of their own, taking home an HD widescreen and a cordless Guitar Hero guitar.
