-This game was pretty straight forward
-I run up, he runs up
-I notice ragman is killable, I allocate all my focus and cast mobility
-He has nothing in charge range since the centurions have polarity field up
-I run or trample all my jacks forward, buying attacks on a stormclad to get the damage train started
-Orin moves up, zaps a kodiak in the back, because so much of his stuff is electric immune, the closest model is ragman, so I boost and kill rags
-He tries to fight back, but without ragman and subpar dice he only wrecks half a kodiak
-I move my ragman into position and remove three of his heavies
-Greg concedes
-We re-rack and try to have a fast game before the store closes an hour later, he goes first this time to change things up
-He runs up, I run up
-This time he keeps ragman way back, realizing that with crane, ragman can affect an enemy model just under 15" away
-I want to save my feat so I try to stay out his threat range but have to put something in the zone
-He responds by killing the jack in the zone and refuges away, moving darius into the zone
-Very bad play by me, he gets 2pts, a free jack and once again, nothing is in my threat range, stupid me
-He shifts his other jacks towards the zone he dominated
-Now I feat and throw my jacks at him, but can only trample, but with ragman and 3 jacks he's able to do alot of damage
-he doesn't score but does a lot of damage and I lose ragman to silly placement. I have no assassination vector, he has all 4 heavies and the store is closing, I concede
-Sorry, no pictures again, why do I even try?
-Darius with double centurion is a tough matchup for Harkevich I feel, at least in this scenario, especially if Hark goes second
-Darius can get around the cloud wall by running or tramping followed by a lot of jack hammers
-The arm23 and arm24 centurions that can't be charged are incredibly difficult to deal with without Ruin (even with ruin they are no walk in the park)
-using crane, his ragman has a ~15" application of his debuff
-If I can kill ragman before I use my feat, I'm in good shape, if not I think Hark needs to spread his jacks so Darius can only apply dark shroud to a few of my jacks
-Need to keep juggernauts safe, they are the most important in this matchup
-I also need to work hard to keep ragman safe, need to be wary of the d3 leaps from laddermore
-I think this build of Darius is favoured against my build of Hark
