Scenarios used during BATB3 Tournament
This tournament was not your normal tournament.

Spoiler Alert!

Heated Battle



Requires: BftU x2, VW x1,
Glyphs: Intercept Orders, Thorian, Lucky 20, Move, Initiative, Unique Attack, Healer, Wind, Wound

Army Size: any 5 cards from your 780pt pool, maximum of 12 figures

Scenario Figures (roll d20 to decide who chooses army):
Army A: Tor-Kul-Na
Army B: Jotun

Goal: Destroy your opponent.

Points (6 victory points available):
At the end of six rounds each side counts the number of army cards they have remaining and subtract the two totals. That total is now the score of the side that had more army cards at the end of the game. All remaining points are split.

Example:
At the end of 6 rounds:
Player A has 3 army cards in play
Player B has 1 army card in play
3-1=2 (with 4 victory points unearned)
Therefore;
Player A gets 2 points for cards and 2 points for the split.
Player B gets 2 points for splitting the remaining 4 points.

Special Rules:
1) There are no start zones.

2) Roll d20 for first placement.

3) Deploy one army card worth of figures. Then the next player deploys an army card worth of figures (and so on until all units are on the board).

4) You cannot deploy figures adjacent to your opponents figures during set-up.

Clarifications:
Common units:
1) During unit deployment, deploy a full cards worth or figures at a time.
2) Destroy a full card at a time.
3) Are not used on separate cards, but when counting scores at the end of the game, a partial squad is considered to have survived.

Treasure Hunt



Requires: RotV x2, RttFF x2, Treasure Glyphs x1 each (+1 Healer T-Glyph), Wo-Sa-Ga x2.

Army Size: 390
9 hex start zone: split into segments of 6,2,and 1
9 treasure glyphs: 1 of each and 2 healing glyphs
Scenario Figures: 1 Wo-Sa-Ga for each player (purple start zone spaces)

Goal: Finish each round with the most treasure.

Points: At the end of each round, each player adds up the number treasure glyphs that are carried by figures they control. The player with the highest total gets 1 point for that round. When counting treasure to determine which player has the most, Brandar's Chest counts as two glyphs. In the event of a tie each player gets 1/2 of a point. At the end of 6 rounds the game is over.

Trap: (1-5 on a d20 roll.)
Bereft: On a failed roll to disable a trap, your opponent may move that figure 4 spaces in any direction. Take no leaving engagements during this movement.

Clarifications:
All abilities granted by glyphs are in affect during the game. You may use temporary glyphs, but after they are used they are removed from the game and in turn reduce the amount of points that can be controlled in a given round.

Titration Req: 1MS2 + 1MS3 + 1TJ



Marro Warrens Req: 1MS2 + 1MS3


Way of the Scarab Req: 1 Rotv + 2 RttFF
Althernateive views available here!


Don't Walk, Run Req: 1 RotV + 1 VW+ 1 FotA


Some experimental maps for the new D&D set.

Spoiler Alert!

Run for the Money! Req: 2 MS3 BftU
This map is intended to use three new treasure glyphs.

Just around the Bend ...


This time with split start zone. Having only a few tiles means getting creative and squishing things together to create height.
If You decide to use glyphs I recommend using 2 of the same glyph and placing them behind the start zones in the pools of shadow.

For the Middleman


The Drink

First map I make with the new master set.

A Stone's Throw Req: 1RotV



Cross Trails Req: 1 Rotv, 2 RttFF
is the first map I've ever uploaded. It's been a learning experience. Let me know what you think.


Note: While this map uses only one set of RotV tiles it uses 2 sets of ruins.

By playing 24 hex armies on a map that offers a 30 hex start zone you begin play with slightly more strategic options.

This is the image for the 24 hex build. To make it 30 hex add 3 start zones to the far left and far right one row in front of the existing start zone. No start zone should be on height.

My first scenario. Graveyard Bash

2 players battle it out while knocking over headstones to reinforce their armies with zombies. But watch out just when the game is coming to an end the Zombies could take over!

I like the map! Maybe remove the two ruins close to the starting zone and replace one large ruin with a small ruin to make it exactly one masterset instead of 1 plus ruins.

[nyys]

I like it. Looks like a bit of a cross between Highways & Dieways and Badru Valley.

[Bengi]

I love it! And you should keep the extra ruins. If it makes the map better, who cares if it doesn't use exactly 1 set. I think map integrity comes first.

It never really mattered to me but it just seemed kinda odd to add ruins and nothing else from a masterset. I see where your coming from though.

I appreciate the comparison to two fine BOV quality maps. Thank you.
Those happen to be some of my favorites too. Your comment just gave me the idea for a 3 vs 3 game with all three maps next to each other and connected roads.

The ruins stay, but that really is a good suggestion for anyone trying to build it with only one set. Thanks guys

[stubobj]

Im really drawn to this map. Visually its very pleasing. I may have to get this built soon. Good work!

[Darkmage7a]

Ouch, sorry my mistake.
I posted the 24 hex start zone version. The 30 hex has 6 more per player. 3 on the far left and 3 on the far right only one hex in front of the exiting zones. no start zone is on height. I'll update it later when I have the chance.

... or maybe I'll just add a comment in the first post because it's easier.

[Darkmage7a]

My first scenario.

2 players battle it out while knocking over headstones to reinforce their armies with zombies. But watch out just when the game is coming to an end the Zombies could take over!

Have fun let me know if it doesn't make sense, or if it makes less sense than a normal horror film.

[Bengi]

That's a lot of potential zombies! I think I'd be bringing Zelrig to this one. Mimring might not be a bad choice either.

[Darkmage7a]

I think the cool part about this scenario is that you don't have waste turns placing order markers on zombies they always go automatically. All you have to do is use your extra attacks that would be lost trying to get to your target.

A Stone's Throw


New map added.
I think of this as my experimentation in split start zones.
There's no odd numbered groups of starting zones so it's safe for an all double hex army. Which really means there's fewer issues when placing really weird figures.
