A couple of notes on rules I don't call out in the Battle Report.
The Ability on my crew called The Bigger They are states that my model gets +1 in duels involving enemy models that have a greater Size. This was always in effect so all my models in opposed duels always had the +1 active.
The Flinch rule I'm not sure if I played this right. It gives +1 Shielding whenever you are targetted by an enemy attack action that has a higher attack stat then the models Resist stat. For this I was always taking in modifiers first, such as from The Bigger They Are, but now rereading it seems like Modifiers would not count for checking for Flinch.
Also I forgot that Merris Lacroix attack Up We Go! targets Size and not Defense so twice in the game the Bandido's use their Defensive Triggers which was my mistake for not catching it at the time.
Gremlin Deployment Left to Right: Pere Ravage, 2 Young Lacroix, Rami Lacroix, Ophelia Lacroix, Raphael Lacroix, Francois Lacroix, Young Lacroix, and Merris Lacroix.
