I've gotten away from playing snipers-- that's a good thought.
My most recent match-up was Jack Daw vs. Kirai-- with flank deployment and the table quarters strategy. I had a minion-heavy tormented crew, with the hodgepodge emissary; he was minion-heavy with the carrion emissary. Ended up tied 8-8, after he came from behind. Looking back, I made 1 significant error-- I failed to realize the emissary is not living/undead, so malevolence doesn't apply. I could have (and should have) gone right after it early, but instead I was obsessed with lost love. I also needed to make more offensive choices with my crew--- the emissary just simply wasn't worth its points. Rusty Alyce or a couple 7/8 point offensive/utility moders (Gunslingers, Sue, Johan) would have been better choices
