The GREAT 'Strategy Face-off'!!

[Wytefang]

Okay, I've read my regular threads here to death and most of them have become off-topic joke-fests at this point. Nothing wrong with that but I feel the urge to create a new, possibly interesting thread about unit strategy but with a twist. Thus I give you all.........................

::: dramatic pause :::

The GREAT 'Strategy Face-off'!!! ::: wild applause and a few cat-calls also :::

Here's how it works: I'll start it off by naming a single figure or squad and the situation (on height, on water, spread out, tightly-packed in formation, etc) and the person following me will post his opinion of which figure or squad would be the best counter to my suggested fig and situation. Then he'll post his own mini-scenario, again sticking to the rules above. Single figure or squad and explain the situation without going into TOO much detail - keep it simple as possible. The person who posts after him will then suggest their counter to his figure or squad and situation and so on. Lather, rinse, repeat until we all have squeaky-clean hair...


My Unit: Mimring
The Scenario: On height in the center of the map

Okay, it's up to the next person. What's your best counter unit (and situation) to handle this beast? And don't forget to then, in turn, post your suggested unit and scenario to counter for the next person. :)

[ASmiles]

Krav Maga Agents - spread formation

Mimsie can only fire line them one at a time.
Stealth Dodge still works against specials.
Speed and range allow all 3 to attack Mimring if he decides to engage and negate stealth dodge.

[Wytefang]

Okay, but you were supposed to then, in turn, post your suggested unit for someone else to counter...

Anyone else want to step up since Asmiles forgot to post a unit? :)

[Retlaw]

Ok, I'll give it a try:

Krav spead out on castle wall (your are outside the castle - door is shut)

[Dictatorbilbo]

Deadeye- out-range 'em and bypass their effect.

Einar Imperium closing in with kiova's support.

[fejkl]

OK. That's twice I've crossed posts with someone. Sheesh!

[Aldin]

Braxas - case closed.

Q9 across a one hex wide river in a pit so that anyone adjacent would have a height advantage.

~Aldin, slitheringly?

EDIT I see I have come in late so I will answer the previous two as well.

vs. TEI I'll stay with Braxas - though, since they get Kiova's support I'd also be tempted to go Heavy Gruts/Chompy

vs. Charos on height w/ melee I'd have to go with either zombies or Jotun. Given equal points I'd take the zombies.

/EDIT

[fejkl]

Kozuke's. Three attacks of 6 would do some mighty damage.



Charos with height, Thorgrim's Spirit, and Raelin's Aura. You have no range left.

[Aldin]

vs. Charos on height w/ melee I'd have to go with either zombies or Jotun. Given equal points I'd take the zombies.

Zombies in an "arena" of 12x12x12 hexes.

~Aldin, Karnak

[Junge Roman]

Deathwalker 7000 riding Brunak. :lol: Depends on just how many zombies we are talking about, though.

Two rows of 4th mass on height with your force starting 12 hexes away. Flat ground in between.

[Riptide]

Two rows of 4th mass on height with your force starting 12 hexes away. Flat ground in between.

Deathwalker 9000 whether using his Explosion SA or not could clean up that mess.



Spread out Aubrien Archers have height and attack glyph and your opponent has been exceedingly lucky with his frenzy rolls.

[Wytefang]

I hope I'm not wildly off in this answer but maybe Elite Onyx Vipers for their fast movement and tough Att/Def stats with good frenzy back at the Aubriens? (If I'm wrong, so be it, I'm still learning which is part of why I created this thread.) :)

Okay, how would you handle Knights of Westin with no height on the map and you're fairly close to them in location?

[IAmBatman]

Fairly close to the KOW? Sounds like another job for Braxas, or maybe Grimnak and some disengaging orcs.
How about Q9 across a lava river, backed by Raelin and the Nakitas with their smoke powder?

[Wytefang]

IamBatman, not to rain on your parade (because you're a cool dude and I know we'll be talking some MarvelScape soon enough) but I must remind you of the rules: One figure or squad vs another, not groups combined together!

:) Keep it simple for us noobs. LOL

[IAmBatman]

ah, ok, make it Q9 across the lava river (three hexes wide) with Thogrim's spirit on him and height advantage. That ought to about cover the same bonuses. :P

[Wytefang]

Good choice, IamBatman! :) Thanks for the fix. :)

[Riptide]

ah, ok, make it Q9 across the lava river (three hexes wide) with Thogrim's spirit on him and height advantage. That ought to about cover the same bonuses. :P

I'm gonna have to call out Brunak on that one. His defense is high enough that he should be able to turn most of Q9's attacks away while having a average chance at wounding Q9 in melee.


Ok - you are facing Major X17, the board is fairly flat. You have no ranged units left and you failed to draft any Samurai this game...

What do you do?!

[NecroBlade]

(Not participating here - I'm not exactly the first guy you should go to for strategy - but I just wanted to say that you've been thinking up some pretty cool thread ideas, Wytefang.)

[Wytefang]

Thanks, Necro - it's great to hear that from a long-time member. I'm trying to earn my keep, ya know!

Okay, who's got a response for Riptide's strategy challenge?

[ManTrainChooChoo]

I'm gonna have to call out Brunak on that one. His defense is high enough that he should be able to turn most of Q9's attacks away while having a average chance at wounding Q9 in melee.


Ok - you are facing Major X17, the board is fairly flat. You have no ranged units left and you failed to draft any Samurai this game...

What do you do?!

Brunak's got a special attack that bypasses the Melee Defense bonus.

meh edited to add something else... how about Nilfheim on a map like Soulrazor where he has free range of flight on the board and is almost untouchable by melee.

[Wytefang]

Okay, fair enough...now who are you putting out to be defeated?

(Read my first thread to understand the rules - basically you provide a single unit or squad to best combat the suggested foe by the poster before you. THEN you post a unit (squad or figure) and the scenario for that unit to be countered by the person below you.)

:)

6 WoA guarding a door with KMA shooting down from on top of the castle.(You are outside the castle)

[Firemaster]

6 WoA guarding a door with KMA shooting down from on top of the castle.(You are outside the castle)

Run Sgt. Drake to grapple up the wall and take out the KMA, then bring up Braxas to destroy the WOA.

Mimring being boosted by Eldgrim's spirit and the movement glyph. The terrain is also rather uneven.

[hi1hi1hi1hi1]

How about some Omnicron Snipers posted on the higher parts of the uneven ground and spread apart so they can't be hit by fireline.

Taelord and one squad of Minions are located at the top of a central mountain on the map. Your forces are all located together at the base of this mountain what do you do and who would you want?

[Matthias Maccabeus]

AE ought to do the trick, if they can drop. They can stay far enough away that it would take at least 2 turns for the minions to get to them. If they win initiative that's at least 2 round of attacks of 4 (height).



One word - Crixus

[Sargent_Drake_8]

Crixus is an anti-hero hero. Thus, he suffers against ranged squads. You will usually get only one damage on him per attack, so more attacks=more damage. I'd say AE, as a four-person squad with average attack and great range. Hopefully, they'll even be able to get height with the drop.

I'm gonna ask to break the rules a bit and include more than one unit. Let's say you're up against Dan with eleven squads of rats. (This army would be a nightmare to face)

[IAmBatman]

Ninjas should be fast enough to track down DeD and would be able to disengage their way through the swarm of rats with ease.

No range left, several squads of minions blocking off the path to higher ground so height advantage is all locked up for them.

[Sargent_Drake_8]

Izumi samurai with thorogrim's spirit and jalguard. Counterstrike!

Omnicron snipers with extreme height.

[Phaethon]

Ninjas should be fast enough to track down DeD and would be able to disengage their way through the swarm of rats with ease.

No range left, several squads of minions blocking off the path to higher ground so height advantage is all locked up for them.

Really? If the rats are surrounding DeD, they'll never get to him. kill one rat, another moves in. all the while, DeD is taking pot-shots at you.

i think i'd try Mimring. the scatter won't work, so you'll get pretty good odds of having a barbecue.

Syvarris on a parapet (with extreme height)

[Wytefang]

I think I got one for this - my personal fave, the good Sgt. Drake Alexander who can grapple his way up to make short work of a 2-for-1 shooting Syvarris.

Microcorp on water and height and spaced out at a fair distance away from you! WHAT DO YOU DO??

[Riptide]

I'd call in the Izumi or Tagawa for that situation.


Here is one that happened recently to me. Syvarris on a cliff overhang sitting on Ivor. You forces are outside his range and Drake and the Krav Magas are already down.

[Sisyphus]

I use Theracus to fly in Kaemon Awa.


The Airborne Elite have dropped. Your entire army is in their range and the they are across a river and have height advantage.

[Sargent_Drake_8]

Rush in the EOV for the kill

You are facing three squads of Sentinels with height and dagmar.

(OoC:I actually faced a setup against the sentinels all adjacent to concan and with the support of raelin on the highest point on the map, which happend to be on a choke point bridge. A turn after they gained this setup, a tarn took the defense glyph. Double shields with eight attack on a choke point-not good at all.)

[LilMoochie]

DED or Braxas; you need someone who can bypass defense and still maintain a little distance. Deathstalkers wouldn't be terrible but you have to stay alive long enough for a few successful mauls.

How about...
Braxas and Q9 camping with elevation. I face this all the time because they are the only figures my daughter likes to draft.

Seems like the only unit to be able to survive this onslaught would be.... Charos :twisted:

How about fully bloodlusted Tagawa Samurai(all 3 of them) with height and you have no range.

[Sargent_Drake_8]

Kruggity Krug.

You are up against two squads of Microcorps with an extreme height elevation, that happens to have water.

Please respond with something besides Braxus or DED, I kinda want to see some origionality.

[Nooblar]

Get Grimnak up there somehow...or use Sentinals/Minions to ignore elevation changes.

Two squads of knights bearing down on you, they have high ground, Finn/Thorgrim/Raelin support.

[GIR]

KMA, might take a few turns but it would be hard for you to catch me being high up and keeping in range of those auras...unless its spirits.

Krug with the Kelda/Saylind combo in the starting zone. Had to face this a few times and I never won. (kill only krug)

[LilMoochie]

Two ideas for this one...
1) A couple squads Aubrien Archers might be able to run and gun long enough to bring him down. Go straight for the kyrie because unwounded krug gives you decent odds for defense. Never leave your archers near each other so as to negate Krug's double attack. Elevation and any extra frenzies should help your chances. If you DO engage Krug, the whole healing process would take about 2-3 turns which would give you good positioning for Kelda potshots.
2) A mix of Gladiatrons and Blastatrons could cyberclaw kelda and saylind long enough to kill them- then the leftovers can swarm krug for massive homing device goodness.

The problem with this current setup is that each of these setups could be debated at length. I'm curious to see what others might make of the same situations. It's also easy to come up with overkill responses. If course Jotun can take out a ton of figs but he ought to for 225 points. The true "strategery" comes from finding an equal-to-lower cost counter to a specific instance.

Next instance... Nakitas in the castle (extreme elevation)

[GForce3062]

Deadeye Dan wil be able to take them down easily since he can outshoot them (6 range to 10) and with his Ullar Enhanced Rifle, he'll hopefuly take them down in 3 turns.

Three squads of Aubrien Archers with the Range Glyph thingy and your opponent is rolling great for the frenzy rolls. (I've had to face this once.... not pretty)

[monkeyfish]

I'd use Drake to get in and take out the Aubriens.

[GForce3062]

:oops: Bad choice of wording on my part. Krug wouldn't be in the starting zone with the kyries and your only trying to kill Krug because well, the kyries would be easy when krugs gone. The Aubrien archers could still work though.

[GIR]

Drake.

Kaemon Awa. That simple.

18 zombies and you have no range left.

P.S. Awesome idea for a thread, even though this isn't the first time I've posted something in it.

Dund with Brunak. Dund for his Crippling Gaze and because he can't be zombified. Brunak has great defense, can kill several zombies in a turn, and can't be zombified.


An isolated Krav Maga Agent is cyberclawed. Your opponent has Ne-Gok-Sa next to that Krav Maga Agent and all three units are behind ruins. Your opponent also has Su-Bak-Na. The rest of the Krav are at least 7 turns away from being able to intervene. What do you do?

[GIR]

surrender.

send Braxas to kill everyone

Your opponent is using the Izumi to guard Drake. You want
to kill all four of them but you don't have any large/huge or range
figures to do it. What do you do.

[hi1hi1hi1hi1]

That's where Chompy and his Blade Gruts shine. Take out all the Iwumi and a lucky roll will kill Drake.

2 squads of Omnicron Snipers on the top of the castle your trying to get into. Taelord is behind them and they have extreme height on all your figures. You have no flying how do you win?

[fejkl]

Airborne Elite outrange the Snipers. Use them.

Two squads of Dzu-Teh all adjacent to glaciers and they're spread out. You have no range left.

[monkeyfish]

Simple. Send in Jotun or another heavy hitter to take them out.

Syvarris on Ivor with Taelord behind him. You don't have Drake or the Krav.

[Riptide]

I'll send the EOV after him, if he survives though, I'll be in trouble.

Ninjas, fully powered-up by viking spirits, are advancing on your last hero/squad. You have no dragons or other big beasties. Which hero or squad would be your choice?

I'd have to say Deadeye Dan and hope they are far enough away or he can survive long to use his Enhanced Rifle to take them out.

Syvarris on a single hex tower that is 2 wall sections high.

[Mud Turkey 13]

I'm going to have to say that I would want Tagawa Samurai to be my final squad in that situation. If they had max Bloodlust that would be nice, but either way I would still take them.

Warriors of Ashra are held up inside of a castle. The door is open but they are off to the side so you cannot just fire in through the door at them. You're going to have to come in after them. You have no large(or bigger) heroes left and you didn't draft any samurai. GO!

You would have to be insanely lucky to kill all three ninjas with Deadeye Dan's special in that situation seeing as how he cannot move to do it.

Krav Maga could easily destroy Syvarris.

I'd use Agent Carr since he can disengage and ghost walk. That way he could manuver enough to not get swarmed, and maybe hit with his ranged attack.

Sudema, on height and you have no rane or heroes left... Which squad has the best chance?

[hi1hi1hi1hi1]

Sudema, on height and you have no range or heroes left... Which squad has the best chance?
So I only have a melee squad left. I would definately want it to be the Minions of Utgar. They could fly up to Sudema fast and hopefully kill her with deadly strike, against 3 defense and 4 life they'd have a good chance.

Your opponent has Brunak bring Deadeye to a safe island in the middle of a lava river with height. Who do you want to take out the two of them?

Easy, Marrro Warriors. Send three in trying not to get engaged and leave one behind to clone.

Deathwalker 7000 being guarded by KMA. Kill all of them.

Kee-Mo-Shi. She keeps attacking and poisoning the KMA while trying to mindshackle DW7000. If she gets the shackle she simply blows him up next to the KMA.

Another way to wipe them out would be with a horde of zombies...DW7000 is not a large figure and is vulnerable to Zombie Rise Again.

How do you take out a couple squads of Marrden Hounds in tight quarters with no range or height available?

Jotun using his wild swing.




Charos is on the defense glyph. You have no ranged units.

[quote=GIR]How do you take out a couple squads of Marrden Hounds in tight quarters with no range or height available?

My first thought is Major X17. Has great defense melee and a decent attack and, here's the kicker, marro plague doesn't affect soulborgs!


Jotun standing on the Jalgard (DEF +2) glyph, you have no range left.

DED on the range glyph, 12 spaces away from your guys past some glaciers and a castle wall, but my DED can see you! and you don't have Braxas or DED.

Most fliers could do it, but I'm inclined to say the dragons because they're large. Probably Nilfheim.

The ninjas of the northern wind are advancing on your forces with ranged support from the tag. sam. archers. They have Lodin and astrid, and the Samurai are benefitting from raelin.

[fejkl]

Kaemon or possibly Charos.

Airborne Elite on the castle wall with the range glyph and extreme height. What range unit would you use to counter that?

[hi1hi1hi1hi1]

Krav Maga, the exreme height wouldn't help, one shield blocks all.

Ok no one answered mine from a yesturday.Your opponent has Brunak bring Deadeye to a safe island in the middle of a lava river with height. Who do you want to take out the two of them?

[Firemaster]

Your opponent has Brunak bring Deadeye to a safe island in the middle of a lava river with height. Who do you want to take out the two of them?

Well to solve this riddle, we can look at 2 things. First, the island on the other side is likely not a lava field since Deadeye Dan would be there, and that the river can't be more than 5 spaces wide, since Brunak has to get all the way across to not drop DED on the lava.

So, I think I'd get Theracus to Carry Alistair MacDirk across who would then use his Overextend attack to make sure he gets to DED, regardless of how far away he gets in that time.


Let's see, 3 squads Macdirks are well advanced into your territory and they've chosen Alistair for their wounded hero bonus, and he's got 1 life left and is in his starting zone more than 30 spaces away. You do not have Grimnak or Braxas.

[hi1hi1hi1hi1]

Ok in this situation I'd want to have Mimring. The 2 defense and not so fast movement of the MacDirk would fall victum to Mimrings Fireline SA. All I would have to do is keep Mimring out of their reach until they were all destroyed. With Flying Move 5 and a Range of 8 (Fireline) it wouldn't be hard to kill Alastair once I delt with the MacDirk.

You're trapped. You've been cornered in such a way that any way you try to leave Major X17 and his Gladiatrons Cyberclaw you. Your opponent also has one squad of Blastatrons left within firing distance. Which figure(s) would you want to be in this position.
NOTE:Obviously no Flying or Huge figures would be cornered here, so you can't choose them.

I'd take Drake. The Blastatrons couldn't do anything until they were adjacent with him, even though they'd probably have most of the turn markers on them. By the time they got adjacent, Drake's 6 attack dice would've sliced a lot of Soulborg.

I'm guessing you want us to counter Braxas? If so, I've had Charos demolish her while only taking about 4 or 5 wounds. The KMA in a spread formation where she can only go after one KMA also almost decimated her in a battle I played.

How about Charos with all three Viking Spirits on him backed up by Raelin and Taelord. :twisted:

Q9. Attack from range so that if Charos wants to attack, he will have to move out of the Aura's ranges. If Charos comes up close, let lose with the Queglix gun.

There are 3 squads of Omnicrons up on a castle wall. They are being supported by Raelin, Taelord and the Range Glyph. You do not have Braxas or the KMA.

Drake.


Brunak carrying Thorgrim around and all you have left are squads.

Have DED standing on his own Range Glyph, out of the range of the Snipers, picking them off one by one with his Ullar Enhanced Rifle.

DED on a castle wall where he will always have extreme height over everyone, standing on the range glyph, backed up by Raelin who is standing on the defense glyph, and Taelord who is standing on the attack glyph. Also, all three viking spirits are on DED. (You can use any figure you want since DED is so powerful in this position)

EDIT: Dang it! Matthias Maccabeus typed in the reply while I was typing mine.

To answer yours M.M., I'd use WoA x3

DeD is not as powerful as you think. Ullar Enhanced Rifle is a special attack, so it is not affected by attack modifiers. He also can't move in order to use the attack, so Eldgrim's spirit is useless. Basically all he gets out of the boosts is +6 Defence (Which is still quite a lot).

I'd have to go with Theracus carrying Reitairus or Murphy. Theracus should survive long enough to carry Murphy/Reitairus to DeD's position and then they can neutralize his defence.


Jotun being boosted by the attack Glyph, Defence+ 1 Glyph, Defence +2 Glyph, the Movement Glyph, and all 3 viking spirits.

DED can do more than just Ullar Enhanced Rifle, he can attack :shock: OK but really, instead of Ullar Enhanced Rifle, I would do my normal attack of 5(Base of 1, +2 for extreme height, +1 from Tae, +1 from attack glyph). That could kill Theracus in 1 or 2 turns, dropping Murphy/Reitairus, and ending your chances of surviving.

[GForce3062]

Jotun being boosted by the attack Glyph, Defence+ 1 Glyph, Defence +2 Glyph, the Movement Glyph, and all 3 viking spirits.

The best I can do is Kee-Mo-Shi boosted by the lucky 20 sider glyph(plus 1 to your die roll for anything) and Su-Bak-Na so all I have to roll is a 17 or higher for mindshackle.

EDIT: Counter 6 squads of Venoc Vipers with Venoc Warlord standing on the +2 and one Venoc standing on a +1 defense glyph(which are in the back of your starting zone, 30 spaces away from battle)

Blood hungry would tear through the elf-maidens fairly easily... 4 ATK vs. 3 DEF

[fejkl]

Brunak or any Samurai backed by Taro.

Three squads of Marrdens and three squads of Deathstalkers.

[Kuprin]

Q9, with Thorgrim and Eldgrim's spirits, backed up by...X17 or Gladiatrons with whatever remaining points I have.

Oh dang! :brickwall: I forgot that the WoA's 'Defensive Agility' doesn't work against specials!

[FADE]

Gladatron and Blastatron tag team, being soulborgs they dont have a plague threat on their hands. And then its just gridlock and lock and load time.




EOV running to flank your units, in particular the ones without order markers. While Aubriens on a hill putting pressure on the front. Oh and of course Mittens conducting the whole event.

Don't forget that the 'Stalkers have the chance to Maul, and none of these units will be Cyberclawed by anyone except Major X, and they outspeed (is that even a word?) the Blasts and Glads.

As for the EOV/Aubrien/Mittens battle. I suppose I'd try 2x WOA and Kravs.

I don't have one right now, so it's anyone's turn.

Why do i always space out on the awsomeness that is the Large dogs

[GIR]

I like this thread.

6 Deathstalkers and you have no range and only have medium sized figures. Also no samurai. What do you do?

[Phoenix 133]

Id go with the WOA backed up by ranged units

[Knight of Scape]

That was quite a necro.
