The empty base was his Storm strider as he forgot to bring it. 

He won the roll and went first so I chose the side which would funnel him through the forests.

His forces ran forward. The Journeyman put Arcane Shield on the Storm Lances and the Stormblades run and Iron zeal.

Ossyans response was to quicken the Infiltrators which charged and killed RFP'd a Storm Lancer and a Stormblade. The MHSF took Shatter Storm and removed most of the Stormblade unit. One Mage Hunter  Assassin killed one more Stormblade. Narn and the other MHA took the right flank.

The Stormwall  charged the nearby MHA and missed, but put 2 boosted shots into Hypnos doing a sizeable amount of damage. The Storm Lances cleaned out most of the Infiltrators with Electro leaps assisted by the minuteman. A Repudiate and a Chain blast take out about half of the Strike Force.

The Banshee goes right to get work done on the Storm Lances, the lone Infiltrator helps out. The Strike Force focus down his Minuteman while Hypnos, Ossyan and a Gorgon Shadow Bind, Temporal distortion and Kinetic Grip the Ironclad. The MHA does some damage to the Storm strider and Narn goes for the flag.

Haley Dominates the Banshee but walks it into a spot where wailing effects the other activation order. The Ironclad rips off the Banshee's left arm but it's still functional. Hayley past punches Hypnos to death with her mind and the Storm strider again fails to kill the MHA. Thorn steps up to score and the Storm Lances score the other point.

Cygnar 1 point

The MHA and Narn finish off the storm strider and Narn sprints back to the flag. One MHSF and the Gorgon finish off Thorne after Ossyan shoots and spells it. The Banshee however could not finish off the Ironclad and I could not score on the middle flag.
Ret 1 point
Cygnar 2 points

The Ironclad finishes off the Banshee. The Storm Lances clear the left zone. Haley Past goes center to get away from the Assassins.  Mechanics start creeping up to stop me from scoring.
Ret 1 point
Cygnar 3 points

So this turn I needed to contest his flag and score both of mine to not just lose. I still couldn't do it however. The MHA tried to kill the contesting gobber and failed. So the Strike Force got it. Which meant it didn't run to contest the flag. Narn killed Haley past and took center. But because I forgot to contest he went to 4 at the end of my turn. Ossyan finished off the Ironclad clad I think.
Ret 3
Cygnar 4

So Cygnar starts on 4 and finishes on 5. GG

There were a nume of firsts this game. First time I played a theme, first game v Hayley3 first game v Cygnar in mk3. First game with Ossyan in mk3? Maybe. First time using Gorgons in mk3 and Infiltrators for that matter.
All things considered I felt like it was an OK game. A bit better placement could have kept more Infiltrators alive. I knew Shadow bind on his Battle engine would be a big deal but I felt I needed Hypnos to deal with his jacks in center as the list lacks punch.
I don't  know how live my assassination potential was. I did not consider it at all, as testing out the benefit of the Theme was priority.
To that end I felt that the theme was OK.  I would have rather not had the Infiltrators and just some bigger guns with Shatter Storm on them. Still they performed well.
