Capture the Flag map...

[Sundance]

..i did for a local convention called Tacticon. A friend and i whipped it out in just over and hour. I came up w/ a capture the flag scenario since i had 2 castle sets. I think it came out fairly well. Although, i would've liked to have had another hour to spend on terrain just to give it some heighth but oh well. The interesting aspect of it was the fact that you could get across from one castle to the other in about 2 rounds if you had Swog Rider and a +2 glyph. My friend chose the All-Grut army w/ Grimnak and Swog Rider. I stood my ground in front of the ice castle w/ Sir Denrick, The Knights, The Minutemen(up-on-high) and Thorgrim. Both armies were Valiant so they gained the bonus. And both had the Champion bonus move...which we used constantly. A fun map for a few hours in any case.

How were you received there? Get anyone hooked?

I was told Sat went well. Some kids also played. I did this map on Sunday but i had several people come by and ask about it. About 1/2 of those people actually had the base set and some of the expansions but hadn't seen the castle so that got them excited. The others got excited by the possibilities and i got to answer to questions for a few that didn't understand certain rules. All-in-all it was worth it.

Very nice I had something similar in mind when I made this






I had thought about an ice vs Lava castle as well but I only have one lava and one tundra.

One problem I have noticed with my CTF games is they all end up basically elimination

And no the Millar lite isn't part of the board

I had wanted to do the moat idea more fully but there isn't exactly a drawbridge so i just stuck w/ the ice on one side. If i'd had a 3rd lava set i would've lined the front of the castle w/ lavaflow in the same way. I would like to do another one w/ a mountain in the middle and lava flow on one side of the mountain and snow on the other. Almost as if to get to the otherside you have to choose which one to traverse. I think i'll utilize all 4 MS 's for that one though.

Not to be completely off topic here but I noticed that you have the two of the worst movies ever sitting next to your nice looking map. I guess its good that they were rentals

I thought the same thing when i 1st saw the pic...but i noticed they were rentals. Some friends and i rented Ultraviolet a couple of weeks ago because we heard just how terrible it was. Its pretty bad when you consider how much money was spent on it.

I just get dvd's from Netflix now. That way i can't complain ..much, if there bad.

Thanx. It was literally just thrown together. You always plan stuff out in your head and imagine how great it would be but you can't plan enough when building these maps!
