2008 A Call to Arms: Broken Coast Raids, Week Four

Apparently Privateer Press, the makers of Hordes and Warmachine, creates four league seasons a year that any local store or club can sponsor. In these eight week leagues, Privateer Press releases new scenarios, maps, and rules that change on a weekly bases, while players compete for one of four awards over the coarse of the season. This has been my first Privateer Press league and I’ve been very impressed. We are in week 4 (One week behind most leagues) and all ten participants are still in the hunt for at least one of the four medals.
My loosing streak continues. After winning my first four games in the local Warmachine league, I have gone on what seems like a very long loosing streak. My Protectorate army is starting to fall so far behind in league points that I’m now trying to win the “Eliminator” award (goes to the player who scores the most points for killing light jacks and light war-beast). Tonight, my butt kicking came courtesy of the local Trollbloods player, but at least I got a light war-beast kill.
One of the leagues new players, Chris, won his first game tonight. His Cryx army won a major victory against Ricky’s Khador force. Over all, it was a bad night for Vlad led Khador forces as our other Khador player also lost by a major victory. Maybe next week I should play a Khador player, even though they don’t have light jacks.
