OHS 36 - Heat & Insanity - CONGRATS MTL1998!

[vegietarian18]

I kept my playoffs hopes alive with a win over BodaciousBlood. I got to play his Raelin and Taelord and Redcoats and Marro Warriors army, which was the army I took way back at Gencon Main Event 2015, so that was fun. A little different in Heat of Battle when you get to start both Kyrie in the middle of the board. BodaciousBlood had his Wildwoods/Rats/James Murphy. BB placed Murphy towards the center of the board with his first OM and I responded by piling Redcoats in Wait then Fire range of him with the idea of just blowing the cowboy off the board with my autoinit. BB smartly clogged the lava height with the Monarch, but I was placing so many more figures per turn that I could decently own the side of the board that I wanted. The first turn autoinit was brutal: I killed Murphy and knocked off OM1, and then turned around and finished off the Monarch on the lost turn and knocked off his OM3. Then the Rats started to get into things and slow me down. That gave the Wildwoods time to regenerate quite bit: they're really at their best in terms of regeneration value when the Monarch is dying. Wildwoods resurrected 2 Sentinels and 2 Monarchs and 1 Runner. But they couldn't crack into the Redcoat pod in a meaningful way, especially when the Marro Warriors got into the mix and started pulling the slow trees in different directions. Good game BB.
