Gamed too much...

And thanks to some "Peace Love and Heroscape" I had a miracle copy of SotM come into my poss ion today so that means I got 2 and I am done.

After I get some real food and sleep I will post the few pics I took, and try and scan the 3rd edition rules.

And you never even seemed drunk. :P

Dude I was SOOOOOO Sober the last time we talked on sat morning outside room 206.

No Sat night was an ENTIRELY different story.

Glad you made it back home my brother from another mother.

[markwars]

Can't wait to see you next year.

Yeah I just heard on the radio a bunch of carp went down storm wise. Well, here's to those Scapers, hope they get home soon.


Smiles,
Mr. Pink,

These new glyphs really emphasize how much all glyphs can change the game, and drive home why they should be used sparingly. A lot of new players are eager to litter the field with every glyph, every game. That's fun here and there for a lark, but in the long run it ruins a lot of the tactics of the game. Glyphs should be special, and these new ones certainly are. Well done Hasbro.

And nobody says this alliance will last forever. This is only Chapter 2. If they are going to ease off on Utgar for a while, perhaps the alliance will break up by Chapter 3. Anyway, I doubt it will have much effect on card text...so far the ongoing soap opera has had little impact on the game.

Kato Katsuro:
I think he is kind of overpriced.... He is a good fighter, fast above average power and above average defense. His ability is an okay bait and switch ability but I think that he is not worth 200 points. I love samurais though.
Sir Dupius:
I cannot judge on his price as it is cut off but He seems awesome.
Fast above average power without the application of his specialand average defense+6life. His specials though allow him to have crazy amounts of power.
A possibility of 7 attack. Tactical disengagement can be useful and chalice of fortitude will be moderately useful for defending yourself while fleeing for kelda to heal your sorry butt.

(snip)

Ulginesh:
Mind link will be useful when the other elves come out with him. Fast and a great skirmisher. Without playtesting seems slightly overcosted.

(snip)

Sujoah:
My favorite unit of all these. Quick slightly above average attack and defense. Poisonous. 6 life. Cool looking. Bonds with the awesome spiders.
I like what I see from aquilla. Relentless so can get a bonus from Dumutef Guards.

Kato, in my opinion, is one of the most useful figures out there...on par with Red Skull. 200 points for total flexibility in a Samurai army? Yes please. And don't forget that his Ashigaru-ordering ability (two in one turn) single-handedly makes the Ashigaru awesome. I can move and attack with EIGHT figures. EIGHT. With no d20 roll needed. That's just sick.

Sir Dupuis is 150 points. I agree, he seems solid.

Ulginesh is, like Red Skull and Kato, a figure that's about flexibility. More Elf Wizards will help him, but being able to take two full turns with Elf Wizards is already pretty cool. Currently that's Morsbane, Acolarh, and Kyntela. Looks like up to three or four more are on the way...Elf armies just got slapped out of order marker commitments.

Dumutefs boost Devourers and Khosumet boosts Relentless figures. I agree that spiders plus Sujoah equals awesome.

I some what agree with your opinion on Kato, but I do not think he will be viable in armies under 500 points. I wish he had a really low attack with more defense and counterstrike to give him staying power.

Thanks for reading that it took me a while.

first off, uglinesh sounds like ugliness
hmm, in a 500 point game......

Katso: 200

three ashigaru yaris: 120
three ashigaru harqibuse: 180



If I remember right, that equals a 500 point army, with a guaranteed 8 activation per turn, so long as Katso can see one squad of each. That can be effective. The yaris tie up the enemy en mass, 12 figs is decent, but moving separately, of course, and the harqubuses shoot. If you are lucky, with an attack of 3, or is it two? anyway, when your hordes of canon fodder go down, Katso can move in and do his thing.[/img]

So GenCon is over?

[Unknownknowned]

Yes, but all it takes to defeat 90% that army is rolling 2 skulls.
I am just saying, I have play tested the ashigaru and even with a Raelin buff, they die way too easy it seems.

Plus, that army would always lose to Q9.
