I need help to beat up little, old women! (First time into Jedza and first time with Toni)

[Regelridderen]

I’m facing off with Jedza in :

Turf War, Standard

Detonate Charges, Claim Jump, Desth Beds, Let them bleed, Research Mission

As it’s my first time with either, I’d love to hear some pointers and advice.

Thanks - and may all your flips be severe

Sheesh! That there ol’ Jedza gal is one tough broad - luckily only had one previous game with her, otherwise I’d been wrecked 🥺

To take Claim Jump and Detonate Charges Jedza brought:

Jedza + Sophie

Mikhail w. Treasure Map

Twiggy and Austera

The Darned

Vernon and Welles

Emissary

 

And faced off vs Ironsides trying to make Claim Jump and Research Mission with :

Toni + Mouse

Amina

Howard w. Soulstone Cache

Spider Swarm w. Diesel Engine

Gunsmith w. Magical Training

Steamfitter

-

As anyone would suspect, it ended with a big brawl in the middle. Howard - supported by Amina and the steamfitter - did his worst, and managed to take down the Emissary by turn 3. Ironsides suckerpunched the Darned and managed to foil Mikhails bid for the second point of Claim Jump.

The Spider Swarm handled the right flank on it’s own - but a couple of bad choices in activation order meant that I lost it to VW (which had 1 wound left), meaning I only scored 2 points for Turf War and my opponent 3.

Toni Suckerpunched the Darned, and tried to kick Mikhail’s teeth in - but that’s where the Jedza magic kicked in.

Jedza herself was probably a little too cautious - but healing Mikhail and the Emissary was probably good enough and her and Twiggy managed to get a point of Detonate and brought the score to 5-2

The Gunsmith biggest contribution was her magical training and as a diversion. I should probably have looked more into versatility and gotten a second Swarm.

But a good 1st Ironsides game. It was a tough matchup - and maybe not the best for Toni, my choice for schemes was less than sub-optimal 🤫

But Amina/Steamfitter/Howard is quite the combo - whether it’s worth 28 stones is another matter.
