Re: "I could beat that army!" Theoryscape Challenge

Repulsors x 3 120 (120), 12 hexes
Sir Gilbert x 1 105 (225), 1 hex
Shaolin Monks x2 140 (365) 6 hexes
KMA 100 (465) 1 hex
Isamu 10 (475) 1 hex
Dumatef Guard 25 (500) 2 hexes

Repulsors engage all the Soulborgs while the Shaolin attack the Stingers and/or rats, Isamu coasts his way to kill Raelin, the Dumguard engages Q9 or at least occupies some of his mindshare while the Repulsors get close.

I'll try to find time for this tonight, but my money is on the Rats. With 12 Rats, I question whether the Minions will be able to bypass the screen. Even if they can, without special attacks, the Minion army will get swarmed by Rats. With the Stingers juicing, I say that the Rat/Q9/Stinger/Raelin army wins easily.

Repulsors screen and make Glads scared. Snipers gun down the army. Bolt of Witherwood rendered useless.

73 tournaments. 175 - 145 - 1 overall record. 6 tournament wins.

With a fairly thin rat screen, the Monks aren't a particular worry. I say that I can pick off the repulsors with Q9 or Stingers (no drain) as fast as they can come in. When I played with the Repulsors, I couldn't manage to keep them alive. I must not roll vanish as well as others, but I'm guessing that Isamu gets picked off (he does when I play with him). This is tough, but I still go with Rats/Q9/Stingers/Raelin.

Re: "I could beat that army!" Theoryscape Challenge

Rich10, you're missing the point. Part of the original post says NOT to go with tier 1 armies. Part of the clear intent of the thread is NOT to argue with whether or not your army could be beaten by the following army. The point is to have fun playing with HS figure synergies. Personally, I think it's most fun when you manage to suggest something that ought to work, but uses oddball unit combinations to accomplish it.

For example, I was going to post a counter to the Marrden Hound army with Major X17 in it - he's a perfect counter, but one we rarely think of.

I do not see that in the original post. Still, it is more fun to win with "less used" figures.

As a non traditional counter to
Drake 170
Gurei Oni 100
DW7k 100
EOV 100
Guilty 30

I would go with
Roman Archers x 4 220
Obsidian Guards x 2 200
Ashigaru Yari x 2 80

The volley attack of the Archers should give problems to the heros. The Obsidians are a strong (but overpriced) melee force. The Yari can encircle and do clean up.

Dwarves x2 -Own Stinkeye
Migol -OSD should let him live long enough to at least put a hurtin' on Drake.
Tagawa Samurai -Juice up on the EOV, then go after Drake/Stinkeye whatever's left
Marcu -ties down the walking timebomb until the infamous whiff.
Ninjas of the Northern Wind -They're tricksy enough to clean up.

This one will be easy for the next one to beat, but I think it goes well against the above army.

Edit: My ninja's not ninja'd.

Beautiful, Rich10; that's the spirit. A very weak army in general, that nevertheless has great structural advantages over its opponent.

To counter that, I'll go with

130 DW8k
120 Ashigaru Harqebus x2
60 Izumi Samurai
80 Thorgrim TVC
110 Brunak
