OHS Season 39 - Snowed In - Semifinals Until 3/7

[Dad_Scaper]

I thought it was fun, because I got to put Crixus in both armies. In retrospect, I see other people were giving army construction much more thought than I did.

[Shiftrex]

I think the overlap was fine to try it was different. If it comes up again, I'll definitely play again but I think I would like to see more "standard" bring two events.

Great game with Agent Ward, Z'thoth is a very scary hero on a map with deep snow. Even if you get to choose where to move it's usually the worst place.

Playing Monday the 22nd at 6:40 Mountain/7:40 Central. The Elementals won in the first match-up between my armies in the play-in; let's see if I can reverse that this time around.

@Scaperedude got the victory against me this morning. He's a great player and it was a fun game.

I decided to choose first and took: Cyprien Esenwein, Isamu, Raelin the Kyrie Warrior [RotV], Sonya Esenwein, Marro Stingersx3
He countered with: Krug, Marcu Esenwein, Mezzodemon Warmongersx5

I thought there was a matchup triangle with MC/Greenscales/KMA>Mezzos/Krug>Cyprien/Stingers> MC/Greenscales/KMA, but thought the Mezzos vs. Cyprien matchup would be a lot closer than it ended up being and didn't feel confident in running the Mezzos myself against Cyp/Stingers who had won 3/4 games. Mezzos just shred commons and on a map with all heavy snow height the ability of exo markers to preserve board position is super helpful.

Short run down:

Spoiler Alert!

While I was able to quickly establish myself on the hill by Valda, he limited Cyprien to usually get just one Mezzo/Exo per turn with good Mezzo placement while taking out Raelin on the single 4 hex. This thwarted by initial plan to use Cyprien to take out Mezzos and exo markers to save Stingers for Krug. When I moved up my Stingers to use height and pound through exo markers, he finished off Raelin and 4/5A vs. the Stingers 3D quickly took the squad out. Moving Cyprien through the start zone was effective at dealing with Mezzos, but in a critical round he got two attacks from height on OM1 that dealt 5 wounds. Cyprien didn't last the round and the endgame was Isamu/Stingers trying their best to eliminate the final exo markers so Sonya could life drain back to health and stand a chance. Game ended with 5 Mezzos, 3 exo markers, and full Marcu/Krug.

Cpt. Stupes vs Shiftrex going down at 11:00 AM CST tomorrow (Saturday).

Semifinal #2 will be going down on Wed. at noon EST. Scaperedude chose first and went with mezzos. I'll be running my RMBDs.
