Heroscape Football

[shidler9]

I was thinking of a football variant for Heroscape, where the players need to get the ball to the other side a certain number of times to win. to start you need to build the map. you start by setting up the game board. you do this by putting 24-space hex pieces side by side till you have a long rectangular board. the amount of pieces you have depends on how much pieces you have. 4 pieces is little league, and you start with and each player gets 300 point armies. 6 pieces is high-school and each player gets 450 point armies. 8 pieces is college football and each player starts with 600 points. 10 pieces is professional football and each player gets 750 point armies. and finally, 12 pieces is Suer Bowl, and each player ets 900 points. before play(or during) each

Sounds cool, how does everything fit in exactly? Such as rules for carrying the ball, rules for squads etc. This idea needs a bit of work, but it has potential.

Wouldn't 11 players be more accurate than 12?

I believe he's referring to 12 terrain pieces opposed to 12 players...

might as well find a copy of the blood bowl rules, use those.

Hasbro already made this. It's called Battle Ball.

sorry bout my last post, my keyboard stopped working.but anyways, during the ame each playe can either make plays and have pre-set routs for their players or they can just make it up as the go along. at any point the players with the ball may pass or throw to another member of their team. they do this by using their range. figurewith one range can only pass to adjacent figures, but figures with long range may throw it. you an only throw in astraight lin, and if the ball passes over the othe teams players who are the same size or more than the throwers, roll d20. if you get a 15 or higher they intercept the pass and the ball immidiatly goes to their team. when one of your figures gets the ball to the other side you get a point. when you get a certain ammount of points you win. if a player is attaked and takes enough wounds to destroy him, roll d20. 1-5=figurw is not hurt. put him back on the board. 6-14=figure is an injury, the palyer will be revived the next time you make a touch down. 15-20=major injury, figure is removed for the rest of the game. when you make a touch down all your figures are healed unless they have major injurys. (this way it balances it out so that squad figures can be used, because theuy will die morea). this is all i have so far.

I once made a version of HS football...I abandoned it because mine was incredibally confusing (You needed to move everybody on your team their new move, 1, 2, 3, or 4 and abilities had some effect, but not always..And man was it boring after the third game...)

Hopefully, your game isn't like mine!

When you say passing in a straight line, do you mean that the pass is parallel to the sidelines, or the pass must be checked with say a dowel rod to make sure it can be completed? Or is it possibly like Mimring's Fire Line Special attack?

Will they have the ability to use the SHIFT key?
