C3V Highlight 4-6-11
Posted April 6th, 2011 at 11:12 AM by truth
THE C3V HAS BEEN HARD AT WORK MAKING MORE HEROSCAPE FOR YOU:
Capt. John Varan has been summoned to Valhalla
The figure used for this unit is a Heroclix figure from the Cosmic Justice set. Its model number and name is 019, 020, 021/Sgt. Rock or 207/Gen. Frank Rock
Sweltering jungle heat blanketed the encampment of a Combined Action Platoon assigned to one of the hamlets within the Marine tactical area of responsibility. This fifteen man rifle squad had orders to protect the Chu Lai village from communist forces positioned just miles outside the walls. The Marine Corps attempt at counterinsurgency was proving effective, however this small village have been in the firefight time and time again between GVN and Viet Cong troops. Today was a sorrowful time, as the 9 remaining members of the Chu Lai CAP stood at attention to honor their fallen brethren from the events of a preemptive strike from enemy troops.
"Second Lieutenant Timothy Adams!"
The colonel of a nearby post called out as he began the roll call. There was no answer. The colonel repeated the Lieutenant's name twice. Stern faces of battle worn marines fought hard not to betray their grief to the loss of their companions.
"Gunnery Sargent Ulysses Barrow!"
The colonel continued calling the names of the absent platoon members. Finally he came to the last name on the list. He paused, and in a cracking voice he called the last name.
"Captain John Varan!"
He took a breath, and called the name two more times, the last time in a strained and forced voice. The colonel was the person who had assigned Captain Varan to this post due to a previous disagreement the two men had. After the names were called, a solemn Butterfield's Lullaby was played, accompanied by a 3 volley salute. The men at attention saluted the flag. The colonel stood after the ceremony, looking beyond the trees of the Southeast Asia jungle.
"May you find peace above, Captain Varan."
General Jandar kept a watchful vigilance over the many platoons of honorable Marines that "were all alone in Indian Country." He valued the men and the duty they sought to protect and improve the lives of thousands of citizens half a world away from their homes. When the Combined Action Platoon of the Chu Lai village experienced heavy concentrated fire from communist forces, Jandar intervened to save the lives of these men, so they would be able to instruct his forces in Valhalla what it truly means to be a hero. Captain John Varan was a paragon amongst this company of men, willing to take a bullet for a companion in order to assure that his men will eventually return home to their families. His valiant efforts in battle can now be seen in the fronts of Nastralund, against the innumerable hordes of Orcs and Marro that clog the pathways to the provinces beyond the country's borders.
YOU are what makes the C3V possible
C3V is your project too! We need you to playtest the latest C3V creations. This is your chance to see what's in the pipeline, tells us where we've gone wrong, and marvel at what we've done right. You can help shape the future of FanScape ... just sign up now!
The Era of FanScape: Collaboration and Continuity
The era of Fanscape is upon all of us and, working to keep the game continually growing, both C3V and SoV have decided to work together to create a unified, fully compatible repertoire of units, focused on expanding the official game together. What this means is that all concepts going through each group will go through a final review and approval so that every unit is fully compatible with all other units that are in review or development in either group. We want to ensure that all new units from the SoV and C3V are compatible with each other and with all the Heroscape canon. Long live Heroscape!
___________________________________________
The C3V has been hard at work getting the next wave ready (which means I actually get to do something ). We're ready to start making some previews/other news releases. LordE and I are in charge of these, but the entire C3V, especially the ERB, have put a lot of time into writing these things. These will probably replace W@HS on some weeks, depending on how often we decide to make a release (that is still in voting last I checked, I don't know how much you follow us).
That is all of course if you're ok with these. It's still your site after all.
Thanks, Chardar, and by extension the entire C3V team.

From an outsider's perspective...it doesn't seem like much is going on. The C3V forum section (at least what is visible to me) has a handful of threads, most of which haven't been updated in months. The only exception is the Speculation thread, which is mostly a bunch of outsiders wondering what's going on and insiders making mysterious comments that are supposed to be hints.
Throw us a few more bones, C3V! |

We are working on it, Porkins.
We've been pounding away trying to flesh out our process and really test our units, find minis, etc. At this point, we have a full wave in the works and (I think, at least) looking really good. And we hope, with the help of the front page and the speculation thread to get more and more "bones" thrown your way. In the meantime, check out a playtest--a great way to get a teaser . (BTW, have to credit Majora's Incarnation for the Bio--he, Pumpkin_King, and others are working hard to really develop some solid writing for the C3V.) |

There will be more "bones" and the Wave is almost completed...but we do need more playtests by the Scaper Community. So if you want a great sneak peak...sign up please.

How many cards are in a C3V wave?
|
|
Posted April 6th, 2011 at 01:23 PM by quozl |
A wave will have about 12 cards (give or take). We are currently looking at doing two unique packs and two common packs and have units in process of all types: Heroes and Commons, Uniques, Uncommons, and Commons, though I'm not promising all of those types will be in this first wave.
We do hope to have a full Wave 14 (C1) blurb ready for the Front Page here soon. |

Good news, guys! I'm glad to see some buzz coming out of the C3V! Also, Captain GreyOwl, er, um, Varan, deserves the spotlight for sure.

Thanks for all your work, guys! I share the wish for more info to chew on, but I understand that your perspective on things is a little different... Please take whatever time you need to make the best wave possible, and again THANKS!

Sounds great! I hope I didn't come off as marginalizing your work. I realize there is a lot of work that goes into it.
I regard C3G as "official" SuperHeroscape, and C3V appears poised to become "official" Classic Heroscape. So forgive me if I'm excited about it |

I have full confidence from what I've seen thus far that C3V will be able to win over the community to that extent.

We are just as excited, Perkins. We really get into the discussions about each unit, hoping to make the best wave possible.

I am so pumped to see more units. Keep up the work because I'll just be sitting here on the edge of my seat waiting.

The C3V and SOV alliance is definetely going to keep heroscape alive.

Thanks, Iron Knight, as a guy on the inside of both projects from the beginning I feel very good about the partnership and what it adds to both.
It's good stuff, fellers. Good stuff. Porkins, I am wearing out my fingertips with all the typing for C3V stuff; don't you worry we're quiet behind closed doors. |
