Re: Hostage Holdout Scenario - Design Phase
I'll be off all week, but there's whole set playtesting coming along to keep the Allies busy and I'm sure other playtesters beyond you and I can peck away at other needed initial playtests as available.
This one's been around for a bit now, so I'm sure the map department appreciates you making it top priority. C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: Hostage Holdout Scenario - Design Phase
Okay, after setting up the base figures on the map, I'm thinking that the only way this is going to work is if we drop the "draft" aspect of the Unique Heroes. We should just pick set heroes for both sides and run it like that. There are way too many variables for a draft type scenario and it can no way account for future figures. As it is, there are hundreds if not more of varieties of units that can be used and I'm not going to do hundreds of test on this thing.
Scenarios should run x figures vs. y figures. Then it's a matter of where you can position the figures and then maybe when reinforcements can come in. Perhaps you can have the same base set-up with Batman and Robin joining in in the second round. With the bad guys maybe having Penguin and Catwoman or something along those lines. The scenario can have ongoing modifications maybe with different set combinations of Heroes that are currently available and ones that will come out later. I think it has possibilities but not in the 400 point draft set up.

Re: Hostage Holdout Scenario - Design Phase
That could help balance out the ranged flier aspect as well - by avoiding them.
Btw, should we be voting to move this to playtesting or something? C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Yeah, I think we can avoid a ranged flier, at least at this point. By voting to move to playtesting, I'm guessing you mean initial playtesting as it is still in development/design phase where the right combination of Unique Heroes, their placement and timing of availability still needs to be determined. I've got it set up and can mess with different combinations of Unique Heroes and such. So are you wanting to have a vote to determine if as a group we want me to do this or not? Or that it should be put on hold or what?

Re: Hostage Holdout Scenario - Design Phase
Uh ... no, I guess I thought that Griff had the initial playtest covered, but it sounds like we're still viewing this as in the design phase.
My bad, carry on, nothing to see here. C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Griff basically said it was a big mess and had spent enough time tweaking and trying to get it to work out right. So after A3n stood up for the Map Crew and said we should maybe try more of a group effort to get it done considering it has been out there in limbo for quite a while and such. So I offered my services/time to try my hand at working on it. I got the map built yesterday and this morning dug out the Thugs/Cops/Civilians and Two-Face and put them in Starting Zones. I immediately saw too much of a problem with the rules in allowing for 400 points worth of draftable Unique Heroes, with the bad guys getting them immediately and having full access to the building, and the good guys getting their Heroes in round two. There were too many options and possibilities from having draftable portions of your army for a scenario. Seeing that problem, I immediately brought up the idea of having all units in the scenario being pre-determined. That way it can be tested right and find a way to make it as balanced as possible. I don't see how it's possible to make it balanced with random army builds. I figured that after the scenario was tweeked with the pre-determined units, then it can go to playtesting. I also figured that perhaps the same scenario can later be re-vamped with the same core of Thugs/Civs/Cops/TF, the Unique Heroes can be changed and find a balance and tested. That way the same map/basice scenario can be used with some other units that would be fun. I mean I can at some point totally see Colossus throwing Wolverine onto the top level of the building and have him take care of business and jump down to another lever (wound/heal) and keep going nuts. That would be fun sometime, but for now, I may try some others to see how it goes.

Re: Hostage Holdout Scenario - Design Phase
Hey do we need to come up with a different playtest sheet for scenarios? I can't see the current formula working with the HH test, Squad test, & Army tests
@ Hahma, a question I have got to ask, is there anything really happening in the first 2 rounds to warrant the delayed insertion of player 1's heroes?
