The Lost Altar

• Brunak/Air Elemental = 140
  ---Lava resistance, hacking, and AE to draw fire and allow Brunak et al first strike.
• Major X17/Theracus = 140
  ---X17 bomb to fly in and lock down threats.
• Werewolf Lord = 140
  ---Infect, and mobile enough to skirt any lava fields.
• Heirloom and Arkmer (for Wyvern dropping) = 140
  ---Heirloom to help with treasure glyphs and thin out any commons; Arkmer to add a ranged attack and play catcher for the Wyvern (could be fun...Batter up!).
• Theracus/Brave Arrow + Arkmer = 140
  ---Braveracus bomb to take out any ranged threats; Arkmer to play catcher and proudly wear any defense TG's.
• Sudema = 140
  ---If you can load her up with glyphs, she could surprise you (good or bad).

What, no Obsidian Guards?

Thanks for the input, Filthy!

What was your reasoning for those choices?

Minions seem like a dicey choice in a scenario where there are so many autowounds in play. I'd lean towards cheap squaddies or high-life heroes like Krug.

Well met!

What Autowounds, besides Deadeye?

The steam explosions. Although I can't really judge how common they will be without seeing the map... you guys should really include an image of your battlefields in these scenarios.

Well met!

Thanks, dok!

Good point! In part because of this, I've chosen a Roman compromise . . .

110 Rhogar
100 Romans x 2
100 Marcus
100 Syvarris
100 Wyvern
40 Theracus
550, 15 spaces.

P.S.: The map is free built only a day or two before, or even the same day as, the game, so pictures of the map, when taken, are posted afterwards.

For all the armies used in the game and other discussion of it, see The Lost Altar thread in the Maps and Scenarios section.

This now includes my summary and rules tweaks after our first five player, five hour game!
