Playing with the ISC

[Peoples Champ]

Had another game with the ISC at 100 AP. My opponent had Jokers with Vladd , Ievgeni, Grigoriy and Vassiliev. The ISC had Grey Daimyo, Black Kunoichi and Carmin Ronin. The mission were both revealed with the jokers having "the Stuff" and ISC had "Artifacts".
To be far should have been an easy one to win for me but somehow I blew it. I grabbed the artifacts first turn and just retreated back clocking up VPS. I got pushed into a corner as I was a tad too defensive. Caught Vladd with out any AP left and charged i the Black Kunoichi. Did 3 wounds in the head first hack then all I had to do was do one more wound in the head. 5 dice to roll needing only one 4 and yes you guessed it complete miss. Next turn Vladd killed the grey daimyo with some hot dice and then took down the black kunoichi. Game over..
The extra AP the Grey daimyo can give every turn is good but he himslef does not tend to do anything but die. seems crazy to sit a 35 point model at the back as I need more damage output on my opposition. I have ordered the grey shogun as he looks pretty good (and great model) so will see how he works out.
