We will be running our first National Heroscape Day tournament in South Florida this year. Every previous year, we have avoided the actual day of NHSD, since there have been other events. This time it is our turn and we hope that many Florida Scapers can join us.
I invite anyone interested in joining us for what I hope will be our largest event ever.
South Florida National Heroscape Day Tournament
What: Swiss style (4 rounds) Heroscape Tournament with Final Four
Why: NHSD!
When: Saturday, October 16, Noon-6pm

$5 entry fee (goes to Final Four winnings pot for in-store credit)
475 point armies (with a
550 point total for the Final Four--must use the same original 475 point army, adding on new units to reach 550)
Only 1 A+ army card allowed per army (A+ army cards include Deathreavers, Major Q9, and Raelin (RotV)--you may have as many Deathreavers as you like and you may use Raelin (SotM) with another A+ unit)
24 space start zones
Maps
Quasatch Playground
I'm thinking about also using a few of the pending BOV nominees (maybe not pending for long)--ones that don't have any NO votes and in some cases were used at GenCon as well:
Tell Tale Forest (no image available)
Blackroot
Fulcrum
If you can't take the heat...
Jotun's Gap
We'll watch these and based on continued positive support, any of these may be chosen.)
