Gencon 2016 Feedback

[gamjuven]

First of all, thank you very much for hosting the first Gencon AotP event. I was very glad to have participated and played with a lot of very nice and good players. It was a blast. I did want to offer my personal opinions and suggestions for next years' event should there be one.

I think using Heroscape maps were a bad idea. Well intentioned, but it wasn't best for the game. The game was built and tested with a flat board with limited terrain. This really helps mitigate ranged units and ridiculous summoning points. Using the Heroscape terrain just made ranged units almost godlike, and made it so melee figures would be even less used. I love Heroscape, but I like this game by its own merits and I was disappointed to see it changed.

The scoring should be partial units. We have the partial scoring available and printed on every army card, there is no reason to do anything but that. Full card scoring always feels rather lame.

I think that might be it, honestly. Don't let my comments get anybody down. It was an awesome tournament and I look forward to playing again. There were a variety of armies and that was great. I congratulate the winner, and hope we can help continue to grow the game! Thanks!
