Round 1: pKreoss v pHaley
Old Bay and I have been practicing this game for weeks now at DW as "training" so we know how this game shakes out. Generally, if there is terrain for Haley to hide behind, Old Bay wins. If there's a hill near my deployment zone, I win. I had a hill and there was no large LOS blocking terrain. Popped-n-dropped on turn 3. Old Bay didn't play as defensively as he knew he should have as he move his trenchers away from Haley and didn't pop smoke.
The Infantry in the list is very very squishy as I lost all of it except a single Deliverer to assorted gun fire from the Cygnar line. In general, I really didn't learn anything new from this game, but it was still fun.
Round 2: Amon v Reznik
The Other Mike® and I played a modified Grind scenario where the ball blows up and bounces d3 + 3" after taking 15 damage boxes. The first person to score twice wins. Mike scored twice. But he did it in a very creative fashion. His infantry (Errants + TFG) were "thrown" at my lines where they held me up and allowed Reznik and Scourge punt the ball around to the two goals. I ultimately lost by scenario, 2-1, and if I had ever gotten close to scoring a second time I might have cried terrain foul as I had a forest between a goal and myself and ToM® did not.
Round 3: Amon v Saeryn
This game was fantastic! The scenario was capture the flag. I set up in a right hook with Amon's jack wall going after my objective while Vilmon and the Errants set up near my defended flag to hold off his army. Since he only brought one magic attack (Saeryn) he was forced to send her after his offensive flag (my left). This left my objective wide open and I ran the Reckoner onto the flag and started scoring. Eventually I was able to contest the defending objective with a Devout while holding my own and I won 3-2.
In the end I won the door prize, a set of GF9 deployment markers, for scoring the most objective points on the day (4... really? 4 won that?)

I gotta agree with the 4 points thing. I think the scenarios are a little to easy to contest vs. the scoring requirements. Otherwise, nice summery!
