Or can you continue to use the leftover points and draft until you reach the 585pt limit? Either way only 24 romans fit on the map. So are you allowed to overdraft the hex limit in order to get play with a few off the board and get some solid heroes in there too?

The flipside is if someone brings 400pts of rats and 700pts of complimentary figures. (I might be tempted to sit out that game.)

I hope I illustrated my concerns both for and against the issue. Mind you this whole thing is looking at extremes and probably not any real concern at all.
You have to place the figures as you draft them. This means that if you start by drafting six squads of romans and put them all on the board then anything you draft afterwards will not be able to be used (but it's perfectly fair to keep drafting to stop your opponent having them). On the other hand, you could choose to just place 2 of the last squad of Romans on the board and put the other two off to one side (so you cannot use them this game) to leave you two starting hexes for a couple of heroes.

In the second example, surely it'd be OK if the figures were sufficiently complimentary?

I gues that depends on ht eplayer using the rats. I shouldn't take more than a second or two to move 2 rats 4 spaces. It's when the game slows to a crawl that it becomes unappealing.

Why not? I can still take something that I think is better than glads since I don't have any other glads or blasts!
You will definately see how the D3 is given out and i think everyone will like it. However, if I spoil it it might affect how players want to perform in the tournament.

Keep drafting until you reach 585 pts. You can most certainly set aside a few common squad figs as you draft them, but then you can't use them at all, even if you have an extra space at the end.

You are correct. At 4, games end, prizes are chosen, and then we clean up. If you leave at 3 and return before 4, you're safe.

Re: Thanksgiving Thrash, 11/13/10 Brattleboro VT, Drafting!

I'm thinking of bringing 1100 points of filler heroes (maybe a couple unique squads) and hoping to grab some common squaddies from my opponent. Something like this. I'll probably end up with some marro dividers though.

There is no scheduled lunch. If you wish to eat, bring your own food. You may eat whenever, during games, after games, you can even take a break to eat.

Regarding the D3, it's still secret as to how they'll be given out.
