A couple shout-outs here:
First, thanks to @TheSparkleInYourWater for having the idea to apply reverse draft to asymmetric maps. I've been excited about it ever since he brought it up the first time. Second, thanks to @GameBear , @Bengi , @Killometer , @nyys , @LongHeroscaper , and @ollie for making some interesting asymmetric maps that have seen very little tournament play up to now. It's gonna be fun to give them a whirl. Looking forward to this one. Last edited by dok; March 20th, 2017 at 03:06 PM. |

Re: OHS Season 27 - Sign Up through April 3
Just submitted. This is an interesting change of pace. Formats can vary how important it is to have good tactical play within a single game versus how important it is to understand the meta of the environment. I suspect more than a few games will be decided here before initiative is even rolled.
This format reminds me of the game Welcome to the Dungeon. |

That said, I felt that this sort of thing was acceptable because (a) it's cool to challenge players in new ways and have us all, collectively, learn some new things, and (b) the fun factor of getting to play games on a bunch of maps that usually don't see tournament play really appeals to me.

Re: OHS Season 27 - Sign Up through April 3
I'm still a little unclear on the selection process and how that works with respect to picking a starting side. Say my opponent wins the dice off and makes an opening bid of their army, sitting some figures, and keeping the right to place first. Do I have any option to make a counter offer that picks my army while gaining the right to place first? Is my only hope to get my army on my side of choice to trick my opponent into a bidding war that abandons pick of side?
In that same vein, it says I may make an opposing bid by surrendering the right to place first without reducing the point total. I take it this means that I am stuck at the point total they proposed and can't go back up to starting values if I switched sides. Once someone has made a bid to take an army but with deferring pick of sides, is there any way to bring the bidding back to where you can pick your own side again? |

Re: OHS Season 27 - Sign Up through April 3
This should be quite an interesting format, I look forward to showing my lack of prowess in negotiation. I think everyone will enjoy my army.

Signed up.
Interesting maps, looking forward to (most of) them. Not sure about 'The Mirke' - moat around start zones is rather odd. Also, what are the start zones for 'Where the Road Ends'? They don't appear to be marked on the map. |

Re: OHS Season 27 - Sign Up through April 3
The rock and sand are startzones. It is marked on the top-down. (Note the note in the map section - any time there is a difference between the top-down and the build instructions, the top-down is official.)

Re: OHS Season 27 - Sign Up through April 3
WooHoo! Play whatever you want. I wonder what bonding unit
@vegietarian18
will select en masse without bonders with this time? MacDirk was nothing if not memorable.
Going to give a shout out to those who I've played in the past few months and suggest they sign up for this. I'm happy to help them out with the format in any way necessary: @totax @Scaperedude @jesus20456 @TalesOfValhallaOfficial @Razqua @The Dewk |

Sadly I just don't have enough time these days to sign up. I'll be watching this season's progress closely though!
