National Ohioscape Day!!! Official NE Ohio NHSD Thread

[killercactus]

Everyone - here's an official thread for our NHSD tournament. A lot of the discussion that helped develop this can be found here.

The tournament will be on National Heroscape Day, October 17th. Sign ups start at 11, dice roll at 12. Here's the address of the venue:

All American Cards and Comics
161 W. Market Street
Warren, OH 44481

There is a parking garage directly behind the card store which is free on the weekends. I'd suggest everyone to park there and come in through the back door, which will be open. The tournament is downstairs, and the stairs are right by the back door.

Players will need to bring their own figures, army cards, order markers, dice and a prize for the prize table. No other entry fee will be necessary. The store will be selling Heroscape if you don't have a prize before you come. Repaints of figures are legal as long as the sculpt isn't modified. Other customs are not allowed.

Players will bring one 535 point army and may only use 24 hexes. Marvel units are not allowed. You may not adjust your army between rounds. The tournament will be 5 rounds of Swiss style play with no final, unless there are two undefeated (5-0) players. In that case, there will be a two-player final between them. Going undefeated guarantees you at least a place in the final, regardless of your Point total. You win each game by destroying all of your opponent's army, or being the player with the most Points left on the board after 50 minutes.

The winner of the tournament will be the player with the best Win-Loss record, or the player tied for the best record that has the most Points (any ties after that will be decided with a D20 roll, with the exception of the final mentioned above). A Win gets you 535 points if you destroy your opponent's entire army (even if your opponent had less than that in his army) and a Loss or a Win by the time limit gets you points equal to 535 less the Points your opponent has left alive using Partial Scoring (for example, each Marro Stinger alive is worth 20 points - 60/3 figures per squad. Agent Carr with three wounds is worth 25 points - 100/4 life).

Glyphs will not be used unless the map was specifically built with that glyph in mind, or in the case of Overseer, to make negative space on the map useful. Each map has the glyphs that will be used on it in the description, as well as the player bringing the materials to build it.

The Prize Table currently consists of:

Spoiler Alert!

4x RotV Master Set
4x Braves and Brawlers
4x Dwarves and Repulsors
4x Dividers and Defenders
4x Heroes of the Moon Tribe
7x Agent Skahen
1x $25 Gift Certificate for HouseMouseGames.com

plus the prize each of us scapers bring.
