OHS Season 53 - Delta Coalition Wars - congrats vegie!

[kevindola]

It'll mostly be me ranting about how I despise deathreavers.

I actually owe viideosayg a thank you for not making me fight 16 Raelin backed deathreavers

[vegietarian18]

I defeated Og-Blaha's Warden/Tomb Skeletons/Drow/Crypt Guardian army and advanced my Romans to the playoffs. This was a game that was turned by Dagmar. Using opening initiative, Tomb Skeletons put the pressure on early, trading almost evenly for Romans and putting me under a lot of pressure, netting 6 wounds on the Azurite. In Round 3, I staged an initiative switch play with Dagmar and blew up the Tomb Skeletons, and they only got off a couple more attacks. The game was close between Romans and the remaining Guard forces.

In Round 4, the Crypt Guardians and Chainfighters came out. MBS quickly paralyzed one Crypt Guardian which netted me an order marker. In Round 4, a Roman landed a 4/4 blow to take down another Crypt and steal another order marker. Shortly after, MBS landed a few shots on Warden to take him out, and that basically sealed it. The remaining forces were too thinly spread to take out MBS and the remaining few Romans. Close game to start, but dice fell apart at the end.

Managed to stamp a second Romans ticket to the playoffs at the expense of Grey Waves' well-constructed and well-played Brigands/Cutters army. We had a very tense opening game as I bum rushed Azurite Warlord and then MBS while plodding my slow little Romans along to try to track down all his Brigands. That cost me about 4 Romans, 2 wounds on MBS, and 5 on Azurite Warlord.

Then it switched to cutters, who finished off Azzy, struggled to kill MBS (who struggled to kill cutters), but traded well with Romans. We took a break with the balance being 10 Cutters and Breach against 6 Romans, 1-life MBS, and NGS.

3 hours later, he won a Dagmar-backed initiative and got a sole cutter with a 3v3 on MBS (whiff), but MBS was still tied down and couldn't run away, getting re-engaged the next turn and dying. I whiffed on 1 and 2 dice against mob swarm attacks about 7 times in a row before the real endgame of 6ish cutters and Breach vs. NGS.

NGS took a lava wound but then tanked a bunch of attacks (mostly 2v4s, but some 2v5s and one attack each turn of 3v4), taking only one more wound (this may also have been a lava wound, can't remember). He got a kill in every attack he took against the goblins, dodging 2 lava rolls while bringing the cutters down below 3 and then eliminating them.

Breach ran up, NGS ran down to engage. First roll 20. Game.

I've now had 2 mind shackle rolls this event, both natural 20s against full-health heroes.

gg GW, hope your luck comes back for next round.

dok and I played today at my house. Specters sat comfortably on the lava. Red Ants quite predictably traded badly into them.

I probably could have played Eltahale better, but I ended up losing 2 OMs due to her wiffing vs a 3/3 attack. Dok killed my other two heroes before that round ended.

GG dok.

In hindsight I should have taken Q10 instead of J15 and Josie. He would have been just as good or better in my one win and would have been a better matchup for both of my losses.

Finished with Sir H tonight, we both played it super slow at the start. I was hoping to lose an initiative so I could play for dagmar+cutting mandibles as I had much better movement. I won the first initiative, and started setting up a wall of ants. Sir H slow rolled and developed towards dagmar as well. Round 2 I won initiative and moved up Moltenclaw greenscales in an attempt to shoot from behind my ants screen in the following round. Sir H responded by sending negoksa and a squad of Romans to try to maneuver around my wall of ants. We collided on the seven hex lava on the north side. I took 2 ants to engage negoksa and another to block him from grabbing dagmar in the south. I did manage a wound on negoksa with a 3v6. Sir H’s attack dice went cold and only killed one ant I think. We both dodged lava this round. I won initiative and started the assault of greenscales/Moltenclaw. I used Moltenclaw to hit negoksa and 2 romans. My 1/4 skulls managed to kill 2 Romans which was nice and then I used greenscales to engage and force 3 LEAs to get to Moltenclaw. He took 2 more wounds from the LEAs, missed the mind shackle, but hit a 3/3 into 1/4 dealing 2 wounds. I then took an LEA from negoksa (miss) to try and max out attacks on his Roman’s. There were 3 lined up, and if I killed a single one of them I could reposition greenscales to block Roman’s from getting to Moltenclaw. Unfortunately I hit a 1/4 and didn’t kill any Roman’s. This led to Moltenclaw taking 4 wounds in 2 attacks and dying. That was pretty much the game as mogrimm was going to be a tough nut to crack when the rest of my army effectively had 2 attack. That was the case, I got a couple lucky hits and got him down to 2 Roman’s, 1/3 Mebuqsa, 3/6 mogrimm, bol, and isamu.
GG Sir Heroscape, Well played! I should have been more careful with Moltenclaw, just was hoping to get a Roman kill with Moltenclaw.

To whomever I get paired with for this week's game, I will be out of service until Friday night.

[superfrog]

Lost a very fun game to kevindola to clinch not getting the top seed .

Lots of swings in the game, both fast and slow.

My MVP was a Roman who survived a 2v3, a 5v2, an LEA, 2 4v2s, and 2 4v3s before dying to an LEA. 6 of those blocks were while he was the last roman standing (with OMs still on him).

kevin's MVP was Taelord, who boosted almost every attack he took.

He won with a 3-life Taelord and a single ant.

[Shurrig]

Very fun final game with Xiegfried tonight. While I unfortunately go 0-4 in my first OHS season, I learned a ton about competitive play and had a great time these past four weeks. GG's Xiegfried, Bert, Sir Heroscape, and O.G. Blaha!

Looking forward to playing again next season!
