I understand your need to correctly calculate the number of maps and tables, etc. as early as possible. It's also courteous to give you an accurate headcount A.S.A.P. I've had legitimate reason to resist committing prematurely.


But I've run out of excuses (ha-ha), because the forecast calls for a pleasant weekend (clear, sunny, mild temps.). since there's so few opportunities to play HS any more, I AM NOW planning to attend this event at TFGS in Savage on 3/7/15.


While thinking about some of the armies that I might use for this event, I came up with two simple methodologies. #1. Either take any 70 point Squad x3 plus one Hero at 100 points to give you 10 - 14 figures at 310 total points - i.e. Pick three from Column A and one from Column B.
COLUMN A.
==========
4th Mass. Line Inf.
Aubrien Elf Archers
Axegrinders of TBF
Capuan Gladiators
Deepwyrm Drow Warriors
Heavy Grut Orcs
Mohican River Tribe
Phantom Knights
COLUMN B.
=========
Agent Carr
Ana Karithon
Deathwalker 7000
Gurei-Oni
Haduc
Iron Golem
Jarek GuyJorhdawn
Major X1-7
Marcus Decimus Gallus
Morsbane
Ornak
Pelloth
Priscus
Sir Denrick
Syvarris
Tornak
Ulfrid
Wyvern
. . . OR . . . #2. Take any 100 point Hero or Squad x2 plus one Hero or Squad at 110 points to give you 3 - 10 figures at 310 total points - i.e. Pick two from Column C and one from Column D.
COLUMN C.
==========
Agent Carr
Deathstalkers
Deathwalker 7000
Granite Guardians
Haduc
Iron Golem
Jarek Guy
Jorhdawn
Kozuke Samurai
Krav Maga Agents
Marcus Decimus Gallus
Major X-17
Microcorp Agents
Mind Flayer Mastermind
Morsbane
Obsidian Guards
Ornak
Ogre Pulverizer
Omnicron Snipers
Pelloth
Priscus
Quasatch Hunters
Shades of Bleakwoode
Sir Denrick
Syvarris
Tornak
Ulfrid
Varkaanan Quickblades
Wyvern
COLUMN D.
=========
Acolarh
Akumaken
Alastair MacDirk
B-11 Resistance Corps.
Brunak
Dund
Elite Onyx Vipers
Evar Scarcarver
Laglor
Manauvi
Migol Ironwill
Mika Connour
Minions of Utgar
Moriko
Ninjas of the No. Wind
Protectors of Ullar
Quorik Warwitch
Rhogar Dragonspine
Sentinels of Jandar
Sgt. Drake Alexander (RotV)
Sharwin Wildborn
Tomoe Gozen
Valguard
Varkaanan Greyspears
. . . but this produces over 840 different combinations to choose from. If @clancampbell still needs help deciding on an army, then I suggest he randomly picks one from this list, but that would be weirdness.

Actually I'm considering bringing:
#1. Moltenclaw and Othkurik . . . 2 @ 310 pts on 4 hexes
#2. Sgt Drake (RotV), Raelin (RotV), and Kaemon Awa . . . 3 @ 310 pts.
#3. Azurite Warlord, Krug, and 1x Deathreavers . . . 6 @ 305 pts.
#4. 2x Protectors of Ullar and Atlaga . . . 7 @ 310 pts.
#5. 3x Microcorp Agents and Otonashi . . . 10 @ 310 pts.
#6. 2x Zombie Hulks, 3x Zombies of Morindan, and Isamu . . . 12 @ 310 pts.
#7. 3x Axegrinders and Ulfrid . . . 13 @ 310 pts.
#8. 3x Microcorp Troopers and 2x Hoplitrons . . . 14 @ 310 pts.
. . . and may have to roll a d8 to make my final decision


&OBTW: @Dad_Scaper ~ Yesterday I built two maps from your posted list: the 3-Player "Sacrifice" by Dignan and the 4-Player "Jungle Rot" by Dignan, which I will bring with me. Do you need me to bring more maps than these?

[Taeblewalker]

I'll be coming! I'm looking at a few armies.
4x Anubian Wolves and Isamu.
Khosumet, 3x Anubian Wolve and Isamu.
Nick Esenewein, 5 Thralls and Marcu.
Sujoah and Fyorlag Spiders x3.

Edit: Sherman Davies will be coming too! But we won't be driving together.

[Dad_Scaper]

Yes!

Excellent. So glad you guys can make the trip. A Nick army is an interesting possibility which I'd consider too, but for the fact that I can't find the mini any more.


edit: @Johngee , I see you sneaked your RSVP into an edit in that post. Great! Please bring those two and we'll be fine with maps, I think. I'll have to check later. @Gurei-Ornery , if any of the other maps speak to you, let me know.

[pieface!]

Something came up in my schedule for Saturday so I'll have to cancel. Maybe I will be able to make it next time.

[Dad_Scaper]

Oh no!

I hope so, pieface!.

The Fyorlag Spiders are fun and they also bond with the Wyverns, but at 100 pts., I think they are a little over-priced. However, the Viper Warlord ("Mittens") gives them a nice movement bonus for because they're also Scouts.

Then he should pick up @chas , @kola kowski , and @Grishnakh and bring them down to Merrylund with him.

[Robber]

Finally finished up the map I'm bringing to the tournament:

Forgotten Ridge



I've only got the trees from 1 RttFF set, but need 2 for the map. Would someone be able to lend me a set of their trees?

Thank you!

So if you steal a figure from an opponent, say Johngee and it is your figure now and THEN HE KILLS IT does he get points for the kill?

BTW hi everyone (waves)

[Dad_Scaper]

Fallow!!!

I have no interest in answering your question, because I am burning to know if your appearance in this thread means you will be joining us again.

Well, ok, I'll answer your question. Return to first principles. If you did the damage to the opponent's figure, you get the points. If you stole something, did you damage it? No. If it's under your opponent's control, is it his figure? Yes. If you borrow a Marcu, you get points for using it. If you are damaged by a mind-shackled Isamu (hey, it could happen), it was under your opponent's control, and he gets the points.

[fallow]

I'd love to but 2 1/2 hours is a haul. I most likely can't make it even though I'm suffering GDW (game day withdrawal)
You're all welcome to game at my place instead

Your answer is clear that taking temp control of a fig and doing damage with it gives you points, but it's still not clear if damaging a controlled fig also gives points.

Specific example:
Your Mind Flayer takes control of my Moriko.
You use Moriko to melee attack my Charos.
Charos's counterstrike kills Moriko.
Do I get points?
