Classic League: - Worst Army - CONGRATS VEGIETARIAN18

[Chris Perkins]

I was quite curious about how often figures were chosen for the event, so I put together a list and thought I'd share it in case anyone else was interested:

The figure taken the most times, by 8 different players, is Sahaugin Raider.

Here's a full list of figures by the number of times they were picked:
(it's possible that I missed something, but I think this list is at least very close to fully accurate)

This will be fun! These armies are awful!!! We have some very talented planners!

Dysole vs. vegietarian18 (Gingerbread round game) happening now to start the event. Acolarh mirror match. It's going to come down to whoever gets the most home trees.

EDIT: No home trees rolled. The game started off with some hot rolls. Dysole took the first initiative and sent her Yari into my startzone and killed a Raider and a Repulsor, and the Repulsors fired back to kill 3 Yari. The Yari dropped another Repulsor and huddled on a hill, but the Repulsors kept rolling skulls and dropped 3 more Yari. Dysole deployed the Acolarh-boosted Morsbane next, running across the small board to kill a Repulsor. I sent Saylind, who summoned Acolarh, to tie down Morsbane, but Morsbane smartly disengaged to swing at Repulsors. The last three Repulsors took Astrid and set up a targeting beacon to try to blow up Morsbane, but only got him to 3 wounds. Deadeye Dan sniped the Omnicron off of Astrid and I never reclaimed it. But from there things started to tip in my favor. Shiori landed a 3 wound blow on to Acolarh, chased down Deadeye Dan and killed him, then killed one of the remaining Yari, then killed both of Dysole's Sag Raiders, then killed DW7K, all without taking a single wound, to give me the win with room to spare. Deadeye Dan was sniping Repulsors to keep 7K safe and 7K was tied up in engagement with Saylind during a lot of this so Dysole didn't have a lot of answers to the ninja. It was a fun game with a lot going on, so I'm a fan of the format so far.

I think this will be the norm for battle reports!!! It will be a fun and crazy time with figures I don't ever play with! Thanks for the report.

Candy Cane Round

Edit: I won a back and forth game with coach. Sudemas clashed early. With mine putting some hurt on the Obsidians, but then the Sugain Raiders wiped out a full health Retiatius and wounded Morsbane to make a game of things

I had enough Yari left though to get encircles off on Darrak and get his Morsbane who was camping wannok.

I won with 5 Yari and Shiori. Fun game!

[Muskie]

Agree with Kevindola! fun, crazy, silly game. My raider was a beast, until he wasn't! The encircles won the day, but his Sudema certainly outclassed my Sudema. Great movement and spacing was the real difference. Well played, Kevin!

Yeah to empahasize this single dang Raider blocked a 5v1 and a 6v3 from Retiarius. Then put 2 wounds on him with a 3v3 and 2 more wounds to kill him with a 4v3 , losing me 2 order markers.

Then kills a 2 life morsbane with a 5v3.

And as his final act killed a Yari too, before finally being encircled and sushi ka-bobbed.

Legendary.

GRINCH DIVISION


Dysole v. kevindola
Dysole (You Can Move Good and That's It): Omnicron Repulsors x2, Sahaugin Raider x6, Acolarh, Saylind, Shiori, Kyntela Gwyn
kevindola (Raiders of the Lost Rock): Obsidian Guards x2, Sahaugin Raider x5, Sudema, Morsbane, Darrak Ambershard

[kevindola]

I dropped the Obsidian guards to 0-2 and consequently me to 2-0! First with Yari, this time with Repulsors.

I just kited the merry f**** Christmas out Dysole with shots of 1 and occassionally shots of 2. I got 19 attacks of 1 and 2 against Dysole before the Obsidians traversed the board. Those 19 attacks killed 4 Obsidians. The Obsidians got exactly 2 attacks that were both blocked before being dropped.

Next phase was Ambershard traveling the map and collecting all the treasures (Ring of Protection, Oceanstrider, Healing Potion, Disengage) while rolling very hotly on the d20 and Darrak only took 1 wound in that time.

Next Sudema came out and died to 2 attacks of 3 when the Repulsors got the jump on her.

Super Mega Darrak was next and he went to town drinking potions, using rings, striding oceans. He did it all killling all 6 Repulsors, 3 wounds on Saylind, 1 Raider, and 2 wounds on Shiori.

But Shiori's special attack finished him off in the end.

This left Shiori (1), Saylind (2), Acolarh, Gwyn, 5 Raiders vs. 3 Raiders, Morsbane

Saylind killed a Raider and then battled with Morsbane. Morsbane rolled very poory on negation and took 5 wounds killing a summoned Raider and Saylind while a Raider killed the 1 life Shiori.

Leaving Acolarh, Gwyn, 4 Raiders vs. 2 Raiders, Morsbane (1)

My raider got Morsbane with a 5 attack hit and we exchanged Raiders to give me the victory.

I had Gwyn, Acolarh, and 3 Raiders left. good game. I've had a fun 2 games so far. Looking forward to the next

[lefton4ya]

These seem like the most fun games, sorry I had to miss! As a matter of fact these seem like so much fun, I made a tournament in Louisville with similar format.

Flash_19: Marro Drudge x3, Marro Hive, Earth Elemental x2, Kelda, Deadeye Dan
kevindola (Raiders of the Lost Rock): Obsidian Guards x2, Sahaugin Raider x5, Sudema, Morsbane, Darrak Ambershard

edit: Game Over

This was a brutal matchup, but a low Rebirth rate kept Flash in the game, as the Obsidians were able to take out about 2 squads of Drudge before going down.

Flash sent in his Raiders next, but may have been a mistake. The Raiders didn't have much oomph offensively against the drudge and allowed me to develop the EE and get a few revives back up to 4.

Sudema came in and stoned 3 more drudge before an Earth Elemental dealt her the killing blow.

Finally a Heroic Rune equipped Darrak came in and took down both Elementals and knocked me down to 1 Drudge.....but I got a couple of back to back revives AND Darrak went 0/5 and Flash rolled 1 or 2 short of hiding in darkness 3 times in a row to get dropped by the squads.

gg Flash. Darrak had me sweating (why again did I decide to put him in????)
