Conclusion:
The dwarf list was non-conventional, had minima drops, really only 3 maneuver elements, and a crap ton of shooting. With so few drops I feel I was able to gain a huge advantage in the deployment phase. His hammer unit with 4 characters was isolated and I elected to wait them out and go after the cheaper stuff. I was able to pick off a few war machines and smaller units in the end. The large manor in the center made for some interesting tactics and, had the dwarves gotten my table side, things might have been very different. I ended up with way more zombies than I started with and I feel like my magic phase was generally helpful, even though most of my castings were Invocation. I got off curse of years twice but it didn't do much (5 guys here and there). I miscast during turn 6 but only lost some levels. Too late to matter.
Bugman's army provided a tactical challenge and I don't think I've ever faced so much shooting. Luckily I anticipated this and provided lots of cheap stuff for him to shoot (and raise back
.
My "man of the match" was a pair of bat swarms. Honestly, it was the first time I'd used them and they exceeded expectations.
Moving forward, we felt that Just Games was a nice place to play and Bugman and I are working out a 6 player "fun tournament". The owner, Matt, is open to us taking over the shop on a pre-determined Saturday. Details to follow. If you are interested in a day of EEFL gaming, let us know.
