Re: How will C3V units affect the Metagame?
Well, games can be called on time. And on Day 1 of the Main Event (and in other events) at GC, they *are* called on time when they go on too long.
The issue was that there is a history of *not* calling games on time on Day 2. Which was a problem, this year. There was another little exploit at GC this year that I meant to mention to those guys, but I haven't yet. I should do that, as soon as I remember. |

Re: How will C3V units affect the Metagame?
The outcome of that game would not have changed had time been called. That game was basically over before it started, and Nathan would have been ahead had time been called.
We are well aware of the Day 2 time issue and it is being addressed for next year. It hadn’t been a problem before, but now that it has, a change is being made. DS, please message one of us with the exploit you caught; I haven’t heard anything about it. Casters of Valhalla: THE Competitive HeroScape Podcast!

Re: How will C3V units affect the Metagame?
I expect GenCon organizers to be resistant to customs-oriented tournaments until/unless popular demand essentially overwhelms them. My impression is they just don't think there's significant interest there among GenCon regulars.
C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: How will C3V units affect the Metagame?
I think with the advent of social media and other sites VC just continues to grow so hopefully that will change. I always thought the game runners could create their own events but I don't expect GenCon organizers to know the game or scene unless it's MtG, Pokemon, etc. Not that I plan to go back to Gencon, haven't been in a decade now.

Re: How will C3V units affect the Metagame?
The biggest issue with customs at gencon IMO is that we are not the ones in charge of attendance. The description directs people to HSers but you still do get walk-ons who don't come on here. As such it's a bit tricky to integrate figures that are only known in our community.
That said, a side event using customs probably does make sense at this stage. It's not my personal priority for a new event (I'd put Chaos of Battle and Reverse Draft as higher preferences) but it's a thing that I'd like to see. |

Re: How will C3V units affect the Metagame?
Ultimately as a non-competitive player, non-tourney attendeed, and non-Gen Con goer (and largely non Valhallascape player ) doesn't matter much to me, but that is what I've gathered.
C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: How will C3V units affect the Metagame?
Considering that it's now the standard for competitive 'Scape virtually everywhere other than GenCon, it would make sense to me to have an event or two at GenCon, while there are other events running at the same time that do not use C3V. There are certainly people attending GC who are intimately familiar with the units and would be glad to TD such an event, I'm sure.

Re: How will C3V units affect the Metagame?
Having a VC event or two at some large cons would also help boost the VC knowledge and reception.

What are the largest cons outside of GenCon in terms of Heroscape presence?

Re: How will C3V units affect the Metagame?
There are none, currently. Running an event at a Con is a huge commitment. I know I'm not doing it.

Re: How will C3V units affect the Metagame?
I know Heroscape tourneys have at least happened at Dragoncon in the past.

Re: How will C3V units affect the Metagame?
I've no idea but doubt much at all at the likes of Spiel (Essen) or Origins, even though the latter is known for wargames more than Gencon. I've not attempted to run anything at GameStorm, unsure if they'd have the available room for setting up maps.
