For maps, I was thinking actually of just one map layout. Randomly drawn maps doesn't seem to add too much other than uncertainty with army selection. It would be a good idea for future tournaments, but I'd like to keep the first Madison one simple and we can go from there. I've got a map in mind, and it will be published beforehand. I will be playing if we end up with an odd number so it wouldn't be fair to chose the map and not let others see it beforehand. It's still more than a month away, so if anyone has suggestions on anything, this is the place to make them. |

Re: Madison, WI NHSD Tournament
May I suggest Wolf Swamp Road, or Soulrazor Canyon? They seem to be the best of the officials.
Otherwise turn to the BoV. Quote:

My question to everyone is should we use glyphs? I was thinking a few non-random in the center--something to draw units forward out of cover and high ground and speed up gameplay. Thoughts? |

Re: Madison, WI NHSD Tournament
I have no objections to glyphs, random or otherwise. The format we used at Gen Con was to place glyphs face down, place armies, then reveal glyphs.
If you want to keep play fast, use small maps. When you say only one map, does that meen you will be making multiples of that map? If we have 8 players we will need 4 maps for a swiss style tournament (I'm assuming we will be using swiss). We have enough tiles that we were able build 5 of the Gen Con maps for practice, so I could pitch in on maps.

Help with maps would be appreciated. Setup will begin at 12:00, so it would be good for anyone bringing a map to arrive around then. I was also wondering about how scoring was done at Gencon since we haven't had any news of DCI. Magic uses 3 points for wins, 1 for draws. I was thinking however of doing standard Heroscape scoring. |

Re: Madison, WI NHSD Tournament
Glyphs were drawn randomly from a pool for most events. Each map had a little baggie of glyphs for that map. Not sure which were in the pool. Some events had non random glyphs. Damnation Alley for sure was non random.
Most maps had two glyphs. Scoring was based on won loss record and some "strength of schedule" calculation that was used a tie breaker. That part was done by computer, so I really have no idea how it was calculated. Lord of the Rings TMG Events -Gen Con 13 The North American Championship tournament- Saturday at 4 PM.

Re: Madison, WI NHSD Tournament
VixenTor Games will definitely get something for this prize table. Get enough people, and we may manage a special NHSD dice tower.

Re: Madison, WI NHSD Tournament
The map is ready!
It's...a bit different. It also takes two jungle sets. I will be able to handle three of the maps myself. I'll be counting on some of you though to pitch in. The other big thing I've done is bump the point total to 600. The games we've been playing with 600 have been a big step up in my estimation, even from 500. 600 opens a lot of new possibilities with using figures that might otherwise be sidelined. |

Re: Madison, WI NHSD Tournament
Well, I'm not going to be able to be so helpful after all. I only have one jungle set, so I can't even build one of them.

My only concern is if a bunch of undecideds sign up late. If it comes down to it, we can do without some of the jungle. |

Re: Madison, WI NHSD Tournament
The limiting factor appears to be the sight blockers. I can do the rest of the map well enough.

Re: Madison, WI NHSD Tournament
We are in!!
...and by we, I mean myself and at least one brother-in-law (call him PyroJaymez). There is also the strong possibility of two more (one cousin and one more bro-in-law). I will know for sure by mid-week. LORD_PYRE et all who complain about the drive...we are driving up from Chicago, if we can do it, so can you. Looking forward to everything. It all looks great!
