Every now and then, I actually do get to play a fair amount of HeroScape with other people.
Today was one of those days. First lemme introduce the players:
Me(Mike the flameslayer)
Sierra(Cousin)
Tyler(Cousin)
Tim(Cousin)
Well, we had a nice big 2v2 game first. We played on some randomly tossed together map, with lots of hills and valleys. There was a lot of snow scattered around. We played 520 point armies(each). Somehow I think some math was did wrong, and some got their score slightly off.
I decided to roll my Tactical Combat Unit(2 squads of 3), Drake(from Swarm of the Marro), Raelin(from Rise of the Valkyrie), and then 2 squads of 'Reavers. Cheesy? Sure. But the Robotic Rats and my Kyrie did next to nothing. Drake really pulled his weight(and then some). The Tactical Combat Unit mostly did their bonding thing, and shot a few figures.
Sierra tried using Mimring, 3 teams of Greenscale Warriors, Kaemon Awa and the Marro Warriors. Mimring absolutely dominated, mainly because Tyler and Tim continued to line up their figures. Kaemon picked apart a lot in the endgame too. Marro Warriors became deadweight, never getting a turn.
We played against...
Tyler's single team of Wolves of Badru with the Werewolf Lord as their darklord. He also used 2 teams of Anubians for heavy hitting. As ranged Support, he used Brandis Skyhunter and Deadeye Dan. The Werewolf Lord managed to do damage, but fell to Drake. The Wolves did basically nothing, well except feed the worms.
Finally, Tim rolled an Orcy army. Grimnak, Nerak, 2 Swog Riders, 2 teams of both Arrow and Heavy Gruts, and even a Sahuagin Raider. He kept forgetting that the squads could bond with the heroes and eventually fell. Grimnak certainly held up against Mimring however.
The glyphs were random: Proftaka(Trap Hole), Wannok(Wound), and Dagmar(Initiative). Although Wannok wasn't revealed until the second to last round we were playing to, it still did 2 free wounds to T&T's army.
Then, we decided to try a mini-tournament. I built 3 boards(Super-Siege!, a mostly flat map with some pools in the middle, road and lotsa ruin walls)(Snow Mountain, common sense)(Dungeon Run, a pool in the middle, very small and some Rock Outcrops, taking place in a cave). Everyone chose 300 points worth in units and away we went!
For reference, I chose the following build:
Kaemon Awa
Tagawa Samurai Archers x2
Me-Burq-Sa
I played against Tim on Super-Siege! He had chosen Deathwalker 9000, Mimring, and Isamu. My samurai army fileted his Dragon, Robot, and Ninja. Not much of a challenge there.
Tyler and Sierra played on Dungeon Run. Sierra apparently gave up for some reason or another, givng Tyler the victory.
For the final bout, it was determined that both Finalists could get 100 more points. I chose something(I don't remember) and Tyler added a squad of Granite Guardians to his Elemental Build(Kurrok, Fire, Earth, Water x2, Airx2). I would have let him use the Plant Elemental, but it still needs a few more tests. We played on Snow Mountain. Me-Burq-Sa killed Kurrok. Kaemon Awa systematically killed the rest of the Elementals. I lost a total of 1 Tagawa Archer in the entire fight. And so, I am the champion for today.
So, overall it was a good day of 'Scaping. What do you think?
