Re: Frost Giant of Morh pre release discussion
GenCon is just a small piece of the puzzle - it just happens to be the most widely publicized.
I'm going to get on weesel99 about changing our NHSD to a draft pool. Right now it's blind 495 Point armies, but I really feel like all that Heroscape needs for SOOOO many more figures to be worth their points in tournaments is some sort of draft. I think that, instead of focusing on GenCon making the change, we should focus right now on NHSD making the change. It's up to us tournament organizers to make tourney Heroscape the best it can be, and I really feel like pooled draft (or some kind of draft) is the way to go. Like battle reports?

Reason: This doesn't take away from occasional formats like General Wars and such which are still obviously cool. |

Re: Frost Giant of Morh pre release discussion
I'm excited by the upcoming draft event I'm attending, but I don't see any reason to make this either/or. Both drafting and pre-made armies are great ways to play Heroscape. I'd be unhappy if one dominated to the point of excluding the other entirely; there's plenty of space to play both ways.
Without having done a drafting event yet, my guess for my preference is to have 3/4 events pre-made (but with other potential twists, like general wars or whatever) and 1/4 drafting. Maybe that'll change in November. On-topic. I'm really looking forward to playing this guy. I enjoy leaving engagement and charging at a higher-value target in any case and it'll much easier to convince myself it's the best choice with the Frost Giant. |

Re: Frost Giant of Morh pre release discussion
Never having played draft style before, I could use an education. How does it make it better? I do not see much difference except for the fact you can try and tailor your picks to defeat your opponent. How much extra time does this add to the event and how many more figures are you going to have to bring? Will this lead to people bringing their entire collection to the event? My biggest concern is the time factor. At GC there was rarely extra time and many games were called before completion. I would appreciate someone explaining to me the benefit of draft style. Thanks...peace

What sets the one that just happened in Colorado and the two that will soon happen in Ohio/New England apart from past events, in my opinion, is:
Believe me when I say that the pooled draft format is enough all by itself to shake up the metagame, despite these changes that allow for synergistic, common-heavy armies. Quote:

Re: Frost Giant of Morh pre release discussion
I really like how some of my customs ideas got used
Dusk's Grace- Start on Grass, get either +2 move or attack. Frosty- Start unengaged=+2 move. Start engaged=+2 attack /////////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Malink- No LOS special attack MFM- No LOS special attack Heirloom- No LOS special attack ////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Molthas- Recoiling power attack(in form of a special attack though) Eltahale- Recoiling power attack Get the picture?
Spoiler Alert!
