Re: Unlimited Start Zone Cheese Meta
This is actually the format for this month's Utah Monthly. We've done it a couple times over the last 4 years. We require that you bring extra tiles to fill out the startzone as much as your army needs. The extra startzone spaces can only touch your own startzone spaces, and are all on level 1. It's been interesting, but every time we've done it the winning army has been small armies of heros with either area of effect attacks, or just multiple attacks, and usually some kind of screen. Q9, Nilfheim, Kaemon Awa, Mimring, Zelrig, Asterios, Quahon... You get the idea. Although, I think the hordes of squads have made it to second.
Here's the thing though, Unless you are using a Squad that costs less than a certain threshold, it's just a normal Heroscape game. Blade Gruts, Deathreavers, and other 40 point squads can really take advantage of it, but Knights of Weston cost 80 points a squad, and almost always need Gilbert for the Mobility, so they are just playing a normal game. For 500 points, the cutoff to getting any kind of advantage is; 70 points for a 40 figure squad, 55 for a 3 figure Squad, and 35 points for a 2 figure squad. If it costs even 5 points more than those cutoff points, you couldn't fit another squad within the point total anyway.
