Carakki's Pictured Battle Reports/Predict the Victor

[Carakki]

Hi, everyone. After a long time enjoying A_Train's pictured battle reports/predict the victor, I decided to open my own pictured predict-the-victor thread. This thread will be very much based on A_Train's, as will the report style.

For newcomers to the forum/this thread, let me give you a run-down of how it works. I'll start by posting a picture (with exact lists) of each player's army and what battlefield they're playing on (we usually play on premade maps). Players will then have between three days and a week to predict the outcome of the battle. After a bit, I'll post a report of how the battle went down, pictures and all. At the end of the report, I'll post a new set of armies and the process repeats.

For keeping score: Each person will be expected to keep their own score in the following fashion (followers of A_Train's thread should recognize this): correct predictions-incorrect predictions (difference). For example, if I predicted the outcome of 5 match-ups and got three right, mine would look like this: 3-2 (+1). Eventually I'll see about keeping a running tally in this first post here, but let's start with self-tracking.

Before I put up the first battle to predict, I want to make a little index of the players that usually show in my reports (please note that in the interest of privacy, aliases have been chosen by each player):

Player Index:

Carakki: Me. I will be in almost every battle posted here, so you'll get to know my play style pretty well.
Favorite units: Marro Warriors, Iskra Esenwein, Rechets of Bogdan

Batgirl: A friend of mine and relatively new Heroscape player. She loves Batman (note alias) and plays often, despite her horrible luck.
Favorite units: Sonlen, Zettian Guards

Court: Another friend. He rarely plays due to the amount of time Heroscape takes relative to how often he comes over.
Favorite units: N/A

KK: Court's sister. She's brand-new to Heroscape, with little experience.
Favorite units: Nakita Agents

Craig: A friend who plays every now and again.
Favorite units: Sgt. Drake Alexander (SOTM), Crixus, Shiori

Klondike: My brother. He's a good player, but doesn't get to play as often as he likes.
Favorite units: Krav Maga Agents, Charos, Marro Drones

Oddball: An old friend. He doesn't play often and doesn't play well.
Favorite units: Deathwalker 9000, Deathwalker 8000


And now, the very first match-up, between myself and my brother, who chose the alias Klondike. To select armies, we used the STaHSAM (Surprisingly Tart Heroscape Army Maker):

Klondike: Su-Bak-Na, Nagrubs x2, Marro Drones x3, Marcu Esenwein


Carakki: Grimnak, Nakita Agents, Dumutef Guard, Khosumet the Darklord, Wolves of Badru x2


This battle is taking place on Valenne's Marr Highway map, which you can download here.

Let the game begin!

This thread sounds great! From armies alone, I would say that Klondike will win this battle.

Nice to be able to start at the beginning.
I will say Klondike on this one.
By the way there is a set of Marro hounds in the picture of Klondike's army but they weren't listed?.?.

I have to go with Klondike. A good Marro based army can be deadly in the right hands.

[Cratos]

As much as I'd like to agree with the others and say that Klondike will win...

I really think that Carakki will pull out the victory with the Nakita's range and Grimnack's chomping.

Verdict: Carakki

Whoops. Thanks for catching that; I'll fix it now...

[miantanomo]

klondike by a long shot!

[Warlord Alpha]

Meh....I'm going to have to say Klondike.

[foofoofun]

I vote for the marro army to win.

[Toad Rocket]

Let the games begin!

I will start by betting on Sue and her marro pals.

[gorthan313]

I'll gues Carakki. The Badru should be able to shred the Snacks and some of the Drones.

[jsilvrs]

I will go with Klondike on this one.
