Long Island Mixed Marvel Tournament Series - 1st Look

Posted September 21st, 2009 at 02:55 PM by kolakoski
Well met!

As many of you know, Grishnak & company's Mixed Marvel Tournament Series (see Event forum) kicked off this past Sunday. I am deeply grateful to them for creating this event, especially since it is so short a journey from my home. A good time was had by all.

I had a good tournament (if I do say so myself). I played 3 games and, due to the double win score achieved in a 3-player game, left with a record of 3 wins and 1 loss.

In my first game, I played a new guy (to me) whose name I think is Rich. The map was Keep Your Enemies Close. My opponent had the classic Captain America/4th army, while I had Cap/Krav/Stingers x 3. We both ignored the glyphs, went to the center and fought for height. I took it, killing his Captain at the cost of my Krav. My moment of triumph was short-lived. 3 whiffs in a row to small attacks from below destroyed my previously untouched hero. After that, his 4th made short work of my Stingers from above.

Tourney Series in Mineola - Sunday Kickoff

Posted September 17th, 2009 at 10:40 AM by kolakoski
Updated October 2nd, 2009 at 11:47 AM by kolakoski (Have only 2 squads of Nagrubs)
Well met!

The long-awaited Long Island Heroscape League's Mixed Marvel tournament series starts Sunday 9/20. For this tournament, players submit a 1500 point pool containing up to 2 Marvel heroes, from which 500-550 points are chosen for each game (500 points for all games on Sunday). After consulting with Dok via our forums (always gives well thought out advice), I have decided on the following pool:

220 Captain America
220 Tor-Kul-Na
180 3 x Stingers
120 3 x Deathreavers
120 Kaemon
110 AE
100 2 x Warriors of Ashra
100 Krav
100 Kozuke
60 2 x Nagrubs
80 Raelin
50 Marro Warriors
30 Eldgrim
10 Isamu
1500

The use of Stingers as my common ranged unit is a departure from my past practice of using some combination of mostly Soldiers (10th & Romans). I have little experience with Stingers, Tor-Kul-Na (& Nagrubs), Captain America, WoA or the Rats (which I won't...

Cardtable Combat Tonight!

Posted September 9th, 2009 at 01:17 PM by kolakoski
Well met!

This week's 750 point Battle for All Time takes place at my home, as opposed to Chas'. This means that, rather than Chas' unlimited terrain and giant table map, we will be playing with the terrain from 1 SotM, 1 Marvel Master Set (sans Lab), and 1 Road to the Forgotten Forest, on a cardtable. Within these limitations, IMHO, I have created an interesting map. It is symetrical, with tiny, identical shrines (1 black, 1 white) in 2 opposing corners, to each player's left, which contain the highest points on the map. Towards the center and to the right of each player is a mostly road-hexed plateau, with a single tree, reached by going to the right corner around some water (or over or through), and climbing a short set of 2-space stairs, which are road hexes. Extending from the plateau is an aborted road, 5 hexes long, but only the width of the road, at the same level, angled back towards the center. The center of the map is swamp. The start zones are in the back and...

The 2 Deadly Sins of Heroscape - My Downfall

Posted August 28th, 2009 at 12:41 PM by kolakoski
Well met!

Impatience and Greed are the 2 Deadly Sins of Heroscape, and I allowed them to take me over in last night's game, resulting in my, and my team's, total destruction. I did this, in spite of admonishing myself on these issues right before we started. I am so disappointed in myself that I can't bear to attempt a blow-by-blow account for your entertainment. If the other participants wish, they are invited to comment/gloat. Picture the scene near the end of the 10 Commandments where Yul Brenner as Pharoah, upon witnessing the destruction of his army after it impetuously pursued the Jews into the seabed corridor created by Moses parting of the Red Sea, dramatically drops his head into his hands in despair and defeat. That is me.

Champs de Mars - 3-6 Players - 750 Points

Posted August 25th, 2009 at 03:36 PM by kolakoski
Updated August 26th, 2009 at 12:41 PM by kolakoski (Revised Army Lists)
Well met!

Chas has based this week's 33 x 24 board on a famous military site near Paris. The map is relatively open and flat, with a double-wide road through the center, and two transverse roads radiating out from there.

The scenario is limited to non-firearms Classics. A unit whose primary weapon is a gun are forbidden. Any unit whose secondary weapon is a gun is OK (Drake II), but he is unable to use it.

The possible players: Chas, Sherman, Taeblewalker, Nick, Troy, Cathy and I. If an even number, we will play in teams; if odd, he who kills the most points wins.

My army:

150 Cyprien
150 Mimring
120 Kaemon
120 Krug
100 Syvarris
80 Raelin
80 Kelda
45 Sonja
25 Dumutef
750

If teamed, I may have to completely rebuild.
