3) Hulk or Silver Surfer vs. his point value in Classic Heroscape

I think this would show if a map has certain tendencies or not.

I used 900 point mixed armies and #3 but I used Iron Man and Capn America (as a team) instead. Looks like I've got more playtesting to do

[Ugly-Caco]

I'll play test with pure Marvel and TNT heroes. 1000 points

But I do appreciate your vote of confidence, stumpy_man.

EDIT: Thank you, spidysox, as well. I do appreciate all your guys' support. Maybe I'll reconsider stepping down, even if ET86 does get in.

Thanks to all for the support. TSS, I will not put myself up for nomination if you are going to leave. I would feel absolutely terrible about replacing a judge who had been here since the beginning. I think I may be able to help you with some terrain in the upcoming months. PM on the way.

While I agree that there is no need to specifically nail down the exact method for playtesting, peteparkerh has given a very reasonable way to start. I would suggest to all that this method be tried by at least a few judges, if not all.

I would like to nominate EternalThanos86 as a judge for BoM. He appears to know a good map, and I believe could be very valuable, as well. If he is accepted, I WILL NOT be stepping down from my posistion as a judge. It appears that I am wanted for this project very much, and I don't think I could stand to dissapoint everyone (not to mention, I want to be a part of BoM, anyway ).



Current Status:

Heroscapers Judge(s) pending acceptance:

I'm good with ET86 being part of this. We have to stop working on judges now and start submitting maps!

As a side note, I believe Spidysox was voting we should review, not add my map. I changed the status below. We need to play test it more (any excuse to play more Heroscape ).

Pete did you get my e-mail? And for my feedback I'm ok with ET86.

No. PM me your email and I'll email you back.

[spidysox]

I'm good with ET86 coming on board.

I would like to nominate Jodokast's Under the "EL" battlefield. I think it needs a few changes (which Jodokast agrees). Please see the attached drawings with some suggested changes. It could be like this, or different, but I think the concept needs to be reviewed.

Several things are needed, peteparkeh. 1, download with the changes. 2. Start zones. 3. Are there special rules for the train, or are we just leaving it as a regular map?

[spidysox]

"Under the El" looks cool. Very Marvelish, however Surfer is right. We won't be able to play this one without the download.

[EternalThanos86]

Don't know if this is the *updated* version, but here is the link from jodokast's map thread.
