Sadly, the Empire won!

After two rounds, it was close. But they slaughtered us in the final round.

It was fun.

HUGE thanks to 1moreheroscaper for bringing all the maps and figs and for the concept and organization.

[Satyr]

Once again the rebel alliance brought war to the land and once again they have failed to disrupt the order of the Empire. All is again as it should be.

Long live the Empire!



1more, another great time. I think the campaign is stating to get dialed in ... next time we should be able to put it all together in a matter of hours Seriously, next time I hope we both have a bit more time to spend planing and playing. The native armies were a great twist, they definitely made you think about what to include in your army and drove how field commanders were deployed. Then add in the two additional maps to the mix and it really turned the event into an epic battle.

Lot of castle assaults this time around. It was a real nail biter going into the last wave of battles …all tied up. Thank fully my teammates were cool under fire ... or should I say the heat of the store

Next time ... connect all of the maps into one giant map, we play on the floor, and you can shoot at your neighbor ???

Thanks to all who came, it was a blast!
All you that didn’t come ... you missed out!

Game On !!!

Great. It is bad enough having my truck slip into the dead zone, my girl going to want to kill me when I don't show up today (she will just be realizing something is wrong right about now) and now you have to rub in the fact that I missed out!

For everyone that showed and those that didn't it was a great gaming day--even though the Free Alliance fell once again. It was pretty sweet how everything was tied up after the 2nd wave of battles. I finished organizing and putting things away this morning. The a couple of maps came apart when I had to quickly stop on 205. But all is good now.

Check back tomorrow and I will have the pictures posted.

THE GOALS FOR THE CAMPAIGN OF THE 2nd GREAT VAHALLIAN WAR:

-The Castle located in the Great Divide Territory was not in play. So, the Mountain Pass in the Great Divide was worth 2 territory points instead of 1 point for a basic territory.

PICTURES OF THE THREE WAVES OF BATTLES.

THE FIRST WAVE
Garden Gnome's set-up (for the Free Alliance) against Major Resein at the Desert Castle.


Our Unknown Player's set-up (Free Alliance) against Morningstar of the Utgarian Empire at the River Crossing.


Grim (Free Alliance) and Racer-X (Utgarian Empire) set-up for the first Wave of Battles.


1moreheroscaper (Free Alliance) and Satyr (Utgarian Empire) face-off at the desert ruins for the first Wave of Battles.


Mid-Battle between Grim's army and Racer-X's.


Scenes from both Garden Gnome & Major Resein's battle, and 1moreheroscaper & Satyr's. Both Free Alliance armies of pictured on the right.


THE END RESULT OF THE FIRST WAVE:


THE SECOND WAVE
The gaming got too intense to take pictures of this Wave of Battles. Here are the results:


THE THIRD and FINAL WAVE
Satyr faces-off in the desert again against the unknown player of the Free Alliance. Satyr would take back the desert ruins and claim supremacy again.



Garden Gnome would feel the wrath of the Minions of Utgar when defending the Forest Castle. Major Resein decimated the Free Alliance forces at the Forest Castle.



The set-up of the Desert Castle between 1moreheroscaper and Racer-X. It was difficult dealing with Braxas, but I did destroy--but not soon enough. By the time Braxas was destroyed, so were all of the Imperium, leaving all of my melee troops as fish in a barrel for the Microcorp position on the top of the fortress.


Grim attempted to take control of the Snow Castle with his Sentinels of Jandar and the Airorne Elite, but Morningstar proved to be a deadly foe.



THE END RESULT OF THE THRID WAVE:


After the War and a food break, we decided to have one mega-map 200 point free-for-all. Time ran short in order to finish the game, but Satyr drew the most blood through use of his Vampires.
Mega-Maps:



The free-for-all

Ah wow, Looks like an amazing HS experience.
1More you put on a fantastic show!
I love checking out the battle report threads for these events.
At least someone got their massive game-on for the summer.

Here's hoping we can all hook up for Natl. Heroscape Day in October.

[1moreheroscaper]

HEH,

Too bad you couldn't make, but I imagine you enjoyed your time at the cabin--if I remember correctly. Yes, the event was a blast. And actually, Dnutt and I are starting to discuss something for the upcoming months--maybe even National HS day. I just sent him a message about a scenario I came up with a couple of months ago that is ROCKING!!! Well, I dig it. The scenario is NOT an all out kill your enemy, its more of an Indiana Jones thing...which of course means some figures will have to be destroyed.

Hope to see you at a HS map soon.

[Satyr]

1more scenarios do rock! The Hymar's (sp?) Temple and the battle of all time both were heaps of fun. I'm game!

I've been absent for a while, but I've been thinking about the next NorCal tourney. Life is pretty hectic at the moment ... read bathroom mod under way ... so I'm not sure I can organize an event, even though I have the title. I'll look at my schedule and talk to the boss about my weekend free time. The beatdown may be a bust so that time slot may open.

I'm thinking some type of hybrid tournament. A cross between Alastair's duplicate army thang and a swiss system.
