5-8 total tournament record. How mediocre.

I played:

and went 2 - 3.

Some bad luck definitely contributed to that, as did I LIKE PI's "terrible dice aura."

Wins against:

Darkmage7a's eerily similar army: TBR, 3x stingers, 3x dividers, Marcu
Kellymonster's pile-o'-stingers (+ Q9!): Q9, 5x stingers

Both very good games.

Losses against:

Taeblewalker, in a game that would have needed at least another 30 minutes: Raelin, Zetacron, Finn, Tarns, 3x Knights(?). As it was, time had to be called and I lost by about 20 points.
Arp12's horde of zombies. No, seriously: 8x Zombies. Horrendous defense dice rolling on Nilfheim's part brought this game to an end long before it should have been over. I blame luck for this defeat, although in retrospect I would have done things a bit differently.
My dad: Charos, Q9, Tarns, 1x Vipers. I basically taught my dad how to play Heroscape like 2 weeks before the competition, and I gave him an army of the easiest-to-play units I could think of. I should have won this game, I destroyed him basically every game we played at home. But, I guess sometimes the dice really turn against you.

On a skull, both players use their A army. On a shield, both players use their B army. On a blank/symbol, the players use each others' A armies. It followed a version of the "Rolling Rumble," so the matches were spontaneously arranged in the absence of some kind of "normal" tournament structure.


I played 8 games and was 3-5 on the day overall.

A- 1 Win, 2 Losses

• Marro Stingers X2
• Syvaris
• Finn the Viking Champion
• Raelin RotV
• Izumi Samurai

Win against one of Onacara's son I believe (superior tactics more than anything), loss against someone who didn't have a username (just barely lost, very close game), and a loss to Nyys in what I can only call the unluckiest game I have every played in my entire life. Seriously. It was bad.

B- 1 Win, 3 Losses

• Nilfheim
• Major Q10
• Krav Maga Agents

A win against my brother, a loss to a totally unfair army that Onacara brought (sentinels and 4th mass, urrghh. The map didn't help either), a loss to somebody else in a game I don't remember for some reason, and a loss to I LIKE PI on a map that really, really hated my army (Nyys' Viper Valley). Also, I found out that nice guys really do finish last, as someone forgot to bring half of I LIKE PI's B army, so I lent him some figures from my A army for that game. And I got destroyed. Figures, doesn't it.

I ended up playing with my opponent's A army only once during the day.

Spoon's A - 1 Win, 0 Losses

• Venoc Warlord
• Brave Arrow
• MRT x2
• Aubrien Archers x1
• Theracus
• Isamu

Win against Spoon, who was playing my A army.
