Cincinnati Sat. 5/11/13 Format-Apaloza-Mania Tournament

[orgsbane]

I'm sorry, but it turns out I won't be able to make it . I left a rather large box of Scape in Louisville, and the tournament is one the same day as this one. It's a 2 hour and 30 minute drive to Louisville, or else I would just go and pick it up. I'm very sorry. Have fun!

I keep on contemplating armies. Does everyone know that on Battleplan, you have the option of using Valhalla Customs (c3v/sov)? I keep on thinking up teams.

Well after a long stretch of inactivity the Scape Bug has bit me.... I'm sure I'll be rusty but I'd be interested in coming, unfortunately i lack transportation, if someone happens to be driving through Fairborn on their way I'd be willing to chip in on gas!

One Week to Go!!!

Let me know if any of the "possibles" have confirmed their plans. Also, let me know if anyone needs figures (by PM).

Personally, I still haven't picked out an army. I'm pretty sure I have everything else in place!

[Mooseman]

3 of my siblings are coming, one is not.

[WOOKIE]

Here are my ideas

-Augamo 3x Microcorp Troopers Raelin Isamu

- Racheim 3x The Book of Horned Skull Brutes 3x Rats


-Count Raymond 5x Cathar Spearmen Marcu E
or
-Ramond, 3x Spearmen, Raelin & Heirloom

- Kursus (Soldier) Marcus, 2 Romans, 3x 10th (or 2x 10th & Raelin)

-Ulfrid Hornwrangler The Book of Darrak Ambershard 3x dwarfs Raelin Guilty(or Eldgrim)

-The Book of Warden 816 7x Tomb Skeletons
Raelin Siiv (I think Siiv is awesome!!) This army might need adjusting.

Nicholas Esenwein 1 Deathstrike Thrall 3x Skeletons of Annellintia

I have three. I'll probably "pull a Wookie" and bring all three to pick among.

Did you ever find a ride?

Jandar70 is not coming, so I'm going to need A LOT of help building out maps! I'm slow as @#$%, so be a pal and come early!

Hey Mr. Llama; just wanted to say thanks for the great tourney---it was a ton of fun and we can't want for the next one (all responsibility for which is on you)!

I'll be looking forward to next time; have another sparkly trophy waiting for me

I thought the different formats worked well.
I chose Augamo 3x Microcorp Troopers, Siiv & Iskara. I just wanted to play new stuff. Fog of War hurt both me & my opponent. He used Q9, Q10, 3 Rats Marcu & Isamu. Considering the Troopers had a base attack & defence of 2 , the Rats gave them a real slap. The Troopers 1 special attack per turn helped. Augamo with his different attacks did the most dammage. He almost killed both Qs.
During Reverse the Whip, facing Mooseman on a heavy snow map, the Troopers were in their element. I used Narik, MBS, 5 Deathchasers, Raelin & Guilty. I eventually took over the high ground but Mooseman kept stacking up bodies. He played it so well, I was stumped for awhile.

I congratulate Mooseman for winning the tournament.
I want to thank Johnnylama & everyone else for making this event. It went smooth.
I also want to thank everyone for putting up with me.

Put up with you? I think I'm the one who took to long to play and slowed everything down!

Here are the results:

1. Mooseman 4-1 3010
2. Wookie 4-1 2583
3. Johnnylama 3-2 2605
4. Theaveragefan 3-2 2251
5. Captain Amazing 3-2 2199
6. Yogurt 2-3 2581
7. Captain Awesome 2-3 2555
8. Storm Shadow 2-3 2179
9. Sparrow Hawk 1-4 2042
10. FoJ 1-4 2024

There are some weird point totals compared to the win/ loss records. That might have to do with how many figs were killed in Treasure Quest.

I hope everyone had fun! I know I did. I think the shifting format led to some interesting craziness.

I brought Mohicans x3, Brave Arrow, Theracus, Mittens, Death Knights x1. I lost my first two, and then won my last three. My treasure quest game against FoJ was certainly my most memorable. I know he had a rough day (Samurais are still tough to win with), but our games are always down the wire! What a blast! I was pretty darn shocked that I ended up in third overall— with Mohicans, reverse the whip was my time to shine!

As for next time, how about the idea I was talking about:
Everyone brings an army, and those armies are placed together on a table. At the start of each round before pairings are announced, everyone picks a number out of a bag, and one by one people pick armies from among the pool. Only then will the pairings be announced.
