Well met!

I have come up with a unique scenario for Friday the Thirteenth 'Scape!, that requires rebuilding the map. The new map (to be built a few days before the game) will feature a central tower built around a stack of single hex pieces (probably Concrete terrain from the Marvel set) capped by a Molten Lava hex piece. The tower, and the small hill upon which it sits, will be a no-fly zone. Scattered about the rest of the map (where units may fly normally) will be little fortified areas representing high security laboratories, on Dungeon terrain, and several Treasure Glyphs.

The Treasure Glyphs (normally trapped, always remaining Power side down (unusable)) represent components of a Object of Power that may be constructed by dipping three of them into the Molten Lava at the top of the tower. Heroes may carry up to three Treasure Glyphs at a time. Squad units may carry up to one per squad. When a squad unit picks up a Treasure Glyph, it is placed on...

WotC Blowout Wave 1 pack plus 2 additional squads of Venoc Vipers from Auggies came in the mail last week, just in time for our 600 point Viper-fest at chas' Game Palace.

Giving dok his due (see dok's distain), and given chas' punky Green Guardians

Spoiler Alert!

and his followup mostly Ullar armies, Q9 and company made my 3 squads of Vipers superfluous, for the most part. That I forgot to roll for Frenzy 99.9% of the time didn't help.

Here is the map we played on, built with Slither in mind:

Here are a few other Pics:

WotC Blowout Wave 1 pack plus 2 additional squads of Venoc Vipers from Auggies came in the mail last week, just in time for tomorrow's (6/22/12) monthly gathering at chas' Game Palace. With Generalscape being postponed yet again (Sherman, Taeblewalker, pauliesmiley and Mikeyblaze being no-shows), chas and I will be fielding 600 point armies. We should be able to get in a fair number of games. There will be Pics! [Everyone shuffles out to wait for the Battle Report ] After considerable discussion and thought, I'm going with as many of these [in spite of dok's distain] as I have time for:

210 Phantom Knights x 3
180 Q9
120 Venoc Vipers x 3
50 Brave Arrow
40 Theracus
600, 23 spaces

150 Dividers x 3
120 VV x 3
120 Raelin SotM
110 Laglor
100 Krav
600, 23 spaces
