Re: OHS Season 54: Semifinals Until 11/26/23
Fun semi-final game with Grey Waves. He banned my Dreadguls. I chose Steamroller and he countered with Mantises and Stingers. Lots of offense on both sides with neither side's defense topping 25%. Unfortunately, his Stealth Armor didn't care about my 65% offense in the early game. His battle report is excellent and sum's it up very well but I think understates how well he played Mantises in the early game. He used the battlements really well to make it impossible for me to get 4 attacks off on any given turn without giving up height or Dual Strikes on the other end. Well played and a well deserved spot in the finals.
Overall, I really enjoyed this season. I thought the bring 2 strike 1 created interesting and competitive matchups in all 6 of my matches despite the fact that I mis-balanced my two armies. While I think on the surface Wolves/Morgoloth and Dreadguls/Jotun is decently close, Guilty and Marro Warriors in comparison to 2x Mezzos as fillers significantly shifts the matchup towards Dreadguls. As a result, Dreadguls got banned in 4 of my matchups and Jotun did not get nearly as much playing time as I would have hoped. Highlight of the season: First time top 4 in a regular OHS season. (Semifinals in the VCheese 3 Bracket was also good but significantly helped out by a first round bye). Lowlight of the season: Getting Jedi Mind-tricked by Dok which allowed him to trample stomp 6 heavies and put 3 wounds on Grimnak in a single turn lol. Thanks to the OHS team for another fun event and can't wait for season 55! |

Re: OHS Season 54: Championship Round
I got the win in finals for my 5th OHS title tonight behind some absurd dice that really didn't give Grey Waves much of a fighting chance in this one.
I had debated with myself for a long time on how to open in this game, with a few options / considerations.
Rd 2 I go all Spiders & GWs goes all Mantises. I win init. Quahon advances and hits 3 Mantises with a 1/4 that still manages to kill 1. Spiders advance and take 1 attack from height, which misses. GWs misses the attack into Quahon (who had height) & an adjacent spider but kills the forward most spider. That was the only time GW got multiple attacks off from the same Mantis, as I was able to spread out more effectively to deny it after that. Quahon takes an LEA (miss) to bomb the SZ, killing 2 Stingers, while spiders spread out and engage some more Mantises. Mantises double-engage Quahon and do a few wounds. Quahon then sends a chain through one of those Mantises that goes 2/4 and ends up killing all 3 Mantises (2 with 5 defense) for a massive swing in my favor. GWs ends the round by double-engaging Quahon again and killing 1 spider. I took Dagmar on OM2 & Valda on OM3. Rd 3 I go all Spiders & GWs switches to all Stingers. I win init, Quahon takes 2 LEAs, and kills 3 of the 4 Stingers in the middle SZ pod while a spider blocks in the 3 Stingers left in the top pod. GWs advances around and into water to get more shots off on Quahon, but fails the drain with a 3 to kill a Stinger and really sink the nail into the coffin. Quahon takes 1 more LEA (a stinger that had engaged her) (miss) to hit 2 Stingers + 1 Mantis in the top SZ pod, but rolls a 1/4 that all 3 block. Spiders come in to tie up the Stingers. 1 Stinger takes an LEA (hits), another attacks a spider, and the last one attacks up into Quahon (drain successful) but she blocks the 4v4. Quahon rolls another poor attack but kills 1 figure and spiders kill another Stinger. The rest of the game was mostly just mop-up duty, with just 3 Mantises floating around the board. I won init again in Rd 4 and Quahon started single-engaging them to take 6v4s while spiders tied up the others (they were out of range for LBSA). End game was slightly protracted as I was still avoiding giving a Mantis 2 attacks in 1 turn, but Quahon & the spiders clean them up without too much trouble. I win with Quahon (4 life), Wyvern + Estivara (full health), half my spiders, and an un-used Kira Jax for a final game state that accurately depicts GWs dice tonight. GWs ends up going 0/8 on Stealth Armor rolls, which is brutal and nearly impossible to recover from. GGs Grey Waves, tough one given how it played out.
