Games are played using the online Heroscape interface. An explanatory video is below:
Spoiler Alert!
Full Screen Mode is recommended for watching these videos!
Description of the interface:
Demonstration of live play:
Using an online voice chat utility, such as Skype or Google Hangouts, improves the playing experience considerably.
For this event, each player will bring 4 different armies, one for each format. All armies will be submitted at the start of the season. VC (formerly C3V/SoV) allowed, no Marvel for all formats. You may not use any army card in more than 1 of your armies.
The format for the games will vary from week to week. The four formats are as follows:
Each player will submit a 500-point army, 24 hexes maximum.
All figures will be priced according to Delta+ pricingfor this round. Even if you are not familiar with Delta+ pricing, this army builder includes instructions for building armies in Delta+. Here is a price list of all figures:
Note: All figures will use Delta+ (VC-inclusive) pricing for this format regardless of if you choose to include VC customs in your army or not.
Each player will submit a 550-point army with a 16 space maximum.
Your army must consist entirely of Heroes (Unique, Uncommon, or Common).
Destroy all of your opponent's figures to win.
Starting Placement: Each player, beginning with the first player, should place one hero or squad from his or her army on any of his or her available starting locations.
Players alternate in turn order until all units have been placed.
Glyphs for this map will be 2 random T glyphs from the below Treasure Glyph pool.
Each player will submit a 465-point army, 24 space maximum.
Your army must contain at least 3 different army cards.*
All figures in your army must follow the same General (Jandar, Ullar, Vydar, Einar, Utgar, Aquilla, or Valkrill).
Destroy all of your opponent's figures to win.
* At least three different cards must actually be placed in the startzone.
The event will last four weeks, with one round being played each week (i.e. each player will have one game each week). After those four rounds, there will be a single elimination playoff for the top finishers, which will reuse each format once. The non-Delta playoff rounds will be Reverse The Whip, i.e. you will use your opponent's army and he will use yours. Consider this when building your armies.
Treasure Glyphs (for Hotstepper and Draugur)
Spoiler Alert!
Pool:
Potion of Healing (Heal 3 wounds on OM reveal, temporary)
Heroic Rune (+1 Attack)
Talisman of Defense (+1 Defense)
Giant Hunter Stone (+1 Attack/Defend against Large/Huge)
Roll the d20 to decide which glyph you get after you get past the trap. Both glyphs cannot be the same thing. Trap: Ensnaring Trap: Your figure is trapped. The trapped figure cannot move from this space. The figure can move only if a friendly figure occupies an adjacent space. This does not take affect if it is your last figure.
League Details:
Spoiler Alert!
Power glyphs will be placed, power side up, on maps before the game begins.
Scheduling
Once a round is announced, you will have one week to complete your game. Please attempt to schedule a time to play your game with your opponent.
If after 72 hours (3 days) you have not been able to reach your opponent via PM, please fill out the missing opponent report to notify the organizers of the situation.
If you cannot come to an agreement with your opponent on a time to schedule the game during that week, then please fill out the scheduling conflict report.
If a game is not completed on time and the tournament organizers are not notified of an issue, both players will be given a loss.
The tournament organizers reserve the right to manually set the pairings involving players with a history of either failing to schedule their games, or not showing up for scheduled game times. Such players will also not be given the benefit of the doubt should scheduling conflicts arise.
Reporting Game Results (and dropping out)
The winner of the game must use the game result form to report results. (This will be linked once the tournament begins.)
If you do not want to continue in the tournament into the next round, please PM an organizer to let them know.
Etiquette for watching games
Only the tournament referees (awesomeunleashed, Bengi, dok, Filthy, Kinseth, Typhon, Xorlof) are authorized to make binding rulings. If no referee is present in a game, ask before offering your opinion.
Refer to this thread for the etiquette rules of the Online Heroscape tournaments.
Disputes
The tournament referees are awesomeunleashed, Bengi, dok, Filthy the Clown, Kinseth, Typhon2222, and Xorlof. These players may make rulings on in-game disputes (line of sight, figures fitting on a space, dice rolled too soon/too late, etc) in games where they are not playing. If there is a dispute and one of these players is online, they may issue an on-the-spot ruling. If you have a dispute you cannot resolve, and none of the referees are present, you may stop the game and PM the tournament referees for a ruling.
NOTE: if a ruling is made late in the week and there is not enough time to schedule completion of the game, the tournament referees may issue a forfeit loss to the player who was ruled against.
PRIZES: The winner this season receives a set of very cool custom Heroscape dice. Other prizes TBD.

Re: Online Heroscape Season 6: Loyal 'til the End
A few notes:
1. We said we would have dice pics for you, and we will. Unfortunately, Xorlof won't be able to post them for at least a week.
2. There will be a Special Event with limited spots (16 or 20) opening in a few weeks. It will feature bring-two combined with several special scenarios.

Well, I know what my first army will be because of a hint by someone, I was planning a legacy army. The other armies I'll have to think hard about because of the reverse-the-whip. Looks like fun and thanks for putting this up guys!

Wow sounds like fun.
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me." - John 14:6
Armies now submitted. I'm probably going to die in the playoffs or before that as they are competitive armies. I've never played some of them before besides my heroes only and lightweight armies, so It'll be fun to try something new even if I lose.
