Well met!

As sometimes happens, while figuring out how to couch the parameters of the question when asking for advice for an army for this event, I created a couple of pretty good armies on my own hook.

185 Nilfeim
140 Phantom Knights x 2 or Theracus + ??? or Brunak + ??
100 Syvarris
80 Raelin
505

or

120 Kaemon
120 Hydra
110 Brunak
80 Raelin
80 Deathreavers or ??
510

Which would you choose?

Well met!

[Chas asked me not to delay posting this any longer.]

Went over to Chas' to test out some ideas I had for a Treasure Mountain type scenario [see previous blog entries on the subject]. With only two players, we were unable to create a viable "Crazy Troll"-rule neutral shooters, treasure hunt scenario, so, after a couple of attempts, we abandoned that idea . We were also unhappy with the limitations of the portal I had substituted for a gate (it was too easily blocked).

It was then that we decided to experiment with teleportation, in a standard kill-em-all format, which turned out to be an exciting success! The same two maps were now connected only by teleporters, represented by poker chips (red in the Dungeon, blue on the "Hill", which in this case wasn't really a hill . . .). A unit could teleport from blue to red or red to blue, but not red to red or blue to blue (that is, from map to map, but not from portal...

Well met!

Chas, Sherman, History Dude, Taeblewalker, and I will be playing a 5-way FFA on the following map.

The 5 glyphs are non-powered, and victory conditions will be based on controlling 3 of them for a certain number of turns.

I'm thinking of using my tentative (Valhalla Society approved) Islandscape army for this:

140 Othkurik
140 Phantom Knights x 2
100 Syvarris
80 Raelin
40 Theracus
500

although, for this scenario, I may want to field something else . . .

140 Othkurik
140 PKs x 2
120 Krug
100 ???????
500

120 Kaemon
120 Hydra
100 [WoA x 2][Kozuke][Izumi & Theracus][Ana][Iskra & Reckets]??????
80 Raelin
80 Deathreavers x 2
500

185 Nilfeim
100 Syvarris
80 Raelin
80 [Deathreavers...

. . . if I only had the nerve!

Well met!

If I go to Islandscape as the sole representative of the Valhalla Society, just to avoid the possibility of disappointing a little girl (and her illustrious father) whom I have never met, I'm going to have to come up with a competitive army. At the moment, I'm thinking along the following lines . . .

140 Othkurik
140 Phantom Knights x 2
100 Syvarris
80 Raelin
40 Theracus
500

I know I am entitled to an additional ten points, but this army looks pretty solid (and extremely fast), and will allow me some interesting options if I get to the finals.
