Re: GenCon '13 Army Thread

Well met!

That bit about the 16-hex limit favoring Tor-Kul-Na and Grimnak makes me feel a lot better - but, with no Special Attacks

220 Tor-Kul-Na
100 Krav
90 Nagrubs x 3
30 Eldgrim
440, 15 spaces

might give way to


220 Tor-Kul-Na
120 Kaemon
90 Nagrubs x 3
10 Isamu
440, 13 spaces

And I fear Phantom Knights. In Islandscape (no Reverse the Whip), we are to bring two armies, and choose one based on the map - I imagine I'll know what two armies my opponent brought. For my second army, I'm thinking:

210 PKs x 3
120 Kaemon
110 AE or Drake or Krav/Isamu . . . ?
440,
[_] spaces, or

185 Nilfeim
140 PKs x 2
110 AE or Drake or Krav/Isamu Ana/Isamu or . . . ?
440 [_] spaces.

For Reverse the Whip, how about Wyern/Isamu?

In any event, I'm curious as to how you all would finish these - and which you'd field - with and without RtW.

P.S.: How about

210 PKs x 3
120 Black Wyrmlings x 4
110 Drake RotV
440, 14 spaces

140 PKs x 2
130 Deathcommander
100 Krav
70 Zettians
440, 12 spaces

I praise your effort and offer a hearty thank-you.

Love that Dumutef army (we call them Road Warriors).
I imagine the maps will heavily feature road tiles this year.

Is Heroes Only during Dragon Dice? My friend wants to take a shot at your old title now that Marvel is excluded.

Does anybody else get to work on it, too?

I'm not trying to denigrate Dignan's work, but we have some other excellent mapmakers out there. And no, I'm not talking about myself.

(Not referring to myself, or looking down on Dignan's work, but we have some other excellent mapmakers out there.)
Typhon2222, notably.

(Makes the best BftU maps on this site, I must say.)

Speaking of which, we have a Louisville GenCon practice on June 1st, so it would be nice to have the maps before than if you're able to so we can test on them.

No.

@ Megasilver. I will not release the maps until they are ready, so no promises.
