The Gladiator with added SPD and POW went for the Kodiak — and my trap snapped! Markov “Countercharge!”d first, got the crit with his 3 attack dice, knocked the Gladiator down, and did a whopping number of boxes, too. Kolsk “Countercharge!”d next, sadly without flank. Volkov of course followed and “Countercharge!”d, too, doing a lot of damage thanks to flank. And finally Yarovich “Countercharge!”d — but sadly without a charge bonus. Still, the Gladiator was not only knocked down but lost his Spirit on top and had only a few boxes left.

BAM! This was awesome and to some degree game deciding because it was trivial to remove the Gladiator during my next turn and go for other targets instead. Having so many Counterchargers plus the ability of the Iron Fangs to have LOS and move through other Iron Fangs is just brutal. Legion of Steel is very limiting but it’s advantages, especially under Strakhov, are pretty obvious, I guess?

Marginalia: My IFK on the left flank did another “Countercharge!” against Tiberion, but well, it didn’t do much and I of course lost the IFK in return.
