This is another older post of Kincho that I had made before reducing his price and life and continuing testing for his SoV submission. It is simply maintained here for posterity.

HIGHWAYS AND DIEWAYS by UranusPChicago
Glyphs: Valda, Lodin
Astro: Arashara Goshiri, Marcus Decimus Gallus, Sacred Band x3 (450)
Leo: Kinchо̄, Master Lao Xin, Yi Feng, Shaolin Monks x2 (450)

GAME SUMMARY:
Leo’s Monks lept over the moats within their hearts by the starting zone while I began using Arashara Goshiri to shift my Sacred Band without only relying on the bridge. Unfortunately, I made a critical error in forgetting that Lao Xin can do whatever he wants in regards to Monk turns, so Leo nabbed Valda with Yi Feng and then got his 11 move Shaolin Monks into striking distance on much of my forces.

This is an older playtest that I had posted to the AotV boards a while ago. Most of my notes/playtests on the Yokai were kept private, but I had some free time today and am going through the process of storing what I can still find in case it proves useful in future discussions.

I probably should've posted this before the test that I ran today (or the more recent one of the full Yokai army against Tetsuo), but who really needs chronological consistency?

This playtest wasn't very informative on the man, the myth, the legend Tetsuo Tyrell himself, because I focused him down and my girlfriend didn't want to risk turns on him, but that in and of itself is useful. I think that his underperformance here is the result of these factors, but she didn't want to go all in on his risk.

No glyphs. Played with special healing waters scenario rules from the map instructions, but they never came into play.

I was running a series of games a while ago with my girlfriend to test various AotV units (read: the Velnesh Alphas), but I went ahead and ran another game with the strong version of Tetsuo against a Yokai build featuring the Kirin.
