For the final game of season 6, I tried out a new faction: these beautifully painted Martells. Good job, my man Patrick. My opponent, as always, is EndRush, in this game of Dark Wings Dark Words.
I really wanted to try out all the poisons the Martells use, but I was faced with 3 cavalry units, so I chose my double cavalry list instead. Gerold Dayne and his Darkstar Retinue are just a center threat, and the Dune Vipers hold my turn-off-abilities attachment.
First round, just posturing on the battlefield.
However, with some careful maneuvering, I made the tactics board unusable, really stressing out my opponent. Good.
Round two: the lions are still off the table. Preliminary shots fired. Center infantry blocks threatening each other. Knights holding down the Bolton heavy cavalry, who have lost their abilities. I scored some points by doing a last move with Doran Martell, spreading out tokens and cashing in on the mission. However, I did not notice Barristan's influence, and my opponent was kind enough not to remind me. Sour taste.
Round 3: I forced the issue with the Starfall Knights, and wiped the Dothraki Veterans off the board. Holding that objective now. Lots of points.
While also denying my opponent. Other knights fall back on the other objective. The lions charged in, but were brought down to 1 wound. Thus I also scored being engaged with a unit with less ranks.
However, I made the mistake of approaching the Unsullied Swordsmen. They charged the Darkstar Retinue and wiped them out. Maybe with some NCU help, I don't remember.
Daenerys continued her rampage. I focused on objectives and missions.
I even gave up some points to make points, ending round 4 around 8-3.
I scored my 10th point in round 5 by doing 4 wounds and thus killing the Hrakkars with Doran. However, all my units were wiped out. It was a close thing, but victory to the Targaryens.
