Tournament Details
Spoiler Alert!
Bring 2 Tournament
For this event, each player will submit three 550-point armies with no more than 24 hexes. The three armies cannot share any figures. (C3V/SoV eligible, no Marvel.)
The Tournament team will remove one of your 3 armies based on playtesting unit need and to ensure equal playtest unit usage in the tournament. This will leave your other two armies to be a choice in all of your games. The removed army will not be used.
Each Submission (not each army) is required to have at least 1 C3V playtesting unit (See Below for C3V playtesting Unit). You may have a playtesting unit (or more) in each of your 3 armies, but at a minimum you must have a playtesting unit in 1 of the armies.
Each player will then bring 2 armies into a pool of 4 armies for each matchup
Before each game, there will be a dice-off, done by the tournament organizers. The winner of the dice-off chooses first army choice or second army choice.
Whoever has first army choice may choose any of the four armies (either of their two or either of their opponent's two, or defer the choice). The other player may then choose from any of the other three armies.
The loser of the diceoff will then choose whether to place his army first or second.
Rounds will last 2 weeks, after each round players are asked to leave feedback for each Playtesting unit in their game.
4 Rounds of play. Followed by playoffs for all those who finish with a record over .500
**Tournament Organizer reserve the right to request participants use edited powers as the tournament progresses as the data suggests modifications. Participants may refuse the edits.
This is a C3V playtesting event, after each match we ask that you make a post or send a PM to the tournament organizer stating your thoughts on the playtested units from your game. We ask that they be in the following format

Re: 2022 C3V Playtest Tournament - Signups until 7/31
Brean and I are both in. She has a procedure scheduled for the 8th of September. We can get Round 3 in before that and depending on recovery time one or both of us may have to drop Round 4.

Re: 2022 C3V Playtest Tournament - Signups until 7/31
Signed Up.
Explorer faction doesn't look appealing ATM. While each unit's ability is neat on their own, as an army together I feel like they'll have difficulty fighting most archetypes.
I wish Nidhogg's ability was closer to Braxas/Nilfheim in target selection, instead of an Explosion effect. Perhaps it deals wounds instead of destruction like Braxas? I'd also wish it had a way to make Tomb Skeletons and Archers playable units. They are very weak and Nidhogg could be a thematic way to make them a strong unit. Having him still work the the Skeletons of Annelentia would be sweet too.
Kolbjorn looks interesting but I feel like it's missing something. Like Call of the Hunt should work on on himself/Tribesman too? That way there's more incentive to mix Tribesman/Hunters into the same army.
Patroller E-25 looks awesome, I just wish he had +1 defense to start. I'm having a hard time considering him overtop B-11s, but we'll see with playtesting.
Betacron: I think Patrol should just a generic power with end of round movement, possibly based on X OM reveal or the like.
Maekor: Not as interesting as Bambina (who's name sounds funny to me). He forces Bambina to be right next to him to get all the triggers going. Maekor is a unit forced to work with another unit to be functional at all, while Bambina looks like an interesting unit in a Greenscale list (which I'm going to test).
