Another battle report coming your way from the COMBO SMITE crew. This week Darrell (aka Not-Todd) took a break from his Trollbloods and busted out his Protectorate forces to face off against Todd (aka Not-Darrell) and his Retribution in a 50pt battle.
Last Sunday (Feb 8) Marc held a small 35pt Steamroller in our local game store in London, The Game Chamber.
Much to my chagrin (I hate 35pt games) I attended and also took some footage of the some of the match ups at the event.
Round 1 Legion (pThagrosh) Vs Khador (pSorcha)
Round 3 Skorne (eMorgul) Vs Retribution (eVyros)
This week on the Podcast I dusted off my Retribution for the first time in a few months and was matched-up against Adam and his Cryx.
This weekend the Combo Smite team played in our first official Steamroller tournament. The tournament took place last weekend at a local game store in London, The Game Chamber. (PLUG!!) It was a 35pt Steamroller 3 list required and during list selection your opponent vetoes one of your lists and you get to pick from the remaining two.
As this was my first tournament I was not very on the ball with taking photos every turn but hopefully its enough to get the gist of the games.
I brought Ravyn, eVyros and Ossyan as my 3 lists.

Max MHSF + UA
Max HG Riflemen + UA

2 more Battle Reports this week.
The plan initially was to just report on Marc’s game, but it ended up being two things:
1. Full of particularly stupid mistakes, and
2. Very, very brief.
And so we decided to report on both! Full write ups will follow, but for now at least you can listen!
This week on the podcast we’re doing something different. Instead of facing off against each other Marc and I went down to the local game store in London Ontario, Game Chamber, and decided we would play some randoms. We are each going to give an abbreviated battle report and then rate our performances.
As always, you can listen to the podcast right here or on iTunes! If you’re listening on iTunes and have a minute to toss a quick review on there for us, we’d all be very grateful… we need a certain minimum number of reviews before they’ll show a score for us, and I’ve already asked my entire extended family to review us, so now it’s down to our actual listener(s)!
First Battle – Retribution Vs. Legion – Ossyan V.s Rhyas.

So, in the spirit of continuing to bring you, our loyal listeners and fans (all 10 of you!) content that you hopefully will find amusing and awesome and educational, occasionally we’re going to post Non-Podcast Battle Reports (NPR). These will be text-only reports, posted both here and on the Privateer Press Forums, that will give you a chance to read some battles that may not have been as cool as to make it into the podcast itself, but should still entertain and amuse.
For example, this week, I played Kassem and his Retribution forces. I’ve been looking for an excuse to field pCaine, and I had a suspicion that Kassem would *not* be bringing a heavy-Stealth list, but *would* be bringing a metric crap-tonne of infantry, which is just about perfect for Caine and his infantry-mulching Feat.

Our inaugural battle report! Very exciting. This week saw the forces of Cygnar fighting against the fanatical Retribution of Scyrah.
Since this is our first podcast, it’ll run a little longer than the rest as we talk a bit about why we’re doing this, and about the format for the reports. We hope that all of you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed playing and recording this match!
This Week’s Tactical Question:
How do you recommend dealing with Cygnar’s Cavalry (either the light Tempest Blazers, or the heavy Storm Lances). Please comment below with your suggestions, answers, or ideas!
