Well met!

On 2/9, the NYCG4 put on a mini-tourney for Quizcode in anticipation of his imminent departure. [Not so imminent, as it turns out; he's staying an additional two months.] See Quizcode Tourney in the Gallery under kolakoski. Details to follow . . .

Highlights [or lowlights, depending upon your point of view] included:

chas' taking first place! He brought Quahon in one of his pods, and scored 840+ points in the first Round, and won draft initiative (giving Quahon to him) in every game.

Taeblewalker's Viper army rolled 8-9 Frenzies against me, and wiped me out in the first Round, in our encounter. [Sherman's Dreadguls didn't roll too badly for Berserker Charge against me either.]

In the final Round, Quizcode and I fought for 5th place. Finally, far too late, a bit of luck for me. My Viceron rolled 4 Skulls with his Bloodstorm twice in a row, obliterating Joris' army.

P.S.: Still waiting for any of the three Asterios figures I ordered to appear . . .

P.P.S: Just received notification that first one ordered is available to be picked up at P.O.

Kolakoski discovered the wonderful maps by Flash_19 here onsite, and I set up three two players and one three player, so that we could deal with any odd or even number of players without having to stop and build during the event. This proved to be worthwhile when Taeblewalker had to report in late, and we used one 3 Player and one 2 Player for Round One, later defaulting to the three 2 Player maps. The designer used a creative mix of glyphs, combining both types in very interesting ways.

One board used three Brandir's Chests (random trapped Treasure Glyphs), one two of them, a third two Power Glyphs and one BC, and the last two Glyphs of Brandir (random Power Glyphs). K. made up a glyph pool for the Power Glyphs which left out those he felt were unbalanced.

I played on each of the three 2 Player battlefields, but not the 3 Player. In the first three games I got to play both of my pods. In the championship round I still had my dragon, but not my other pod.

Chas Pods (250 Points Each)

Dragon's Nest
Quahon
Black Wrymlings x2

Acquilla's Aces
Kozil (new C3G Owlbear)
Fiorlag Spiders x3

(Note that the Spiders bond with either Predator, Quahon or Kozil).

My first match was against Quizcode, then Ishmel (who recently moved closer), Sherman Davies, and finally Ishmel again. Ishmel changed his teams out, so my second pod was one of his for the last game: Cyprien, Sonya, and (?)

I never got a tournament trophy in my entire long life until a few years ago at Islandscape, when I fairly won in succession a "Worst Luck" booby prize, 3rd Place, and a second "Worst Luck," which today stand proudly in my bedroom. So for my first ever First Place win, I may actually order myself a trophy!

Everyone in or near NYC should consider coming over to play with us, which we've been doing monthly for the past 11 years.

On Sat. March 16 Quizcode will host his own first game here! We'll be interested to see what he comes up with.


Only took a few pics.




The four maps. Unfortunately, I didn't play
any games on Venom, the map I practiced on at home.




Venom





Wo-Sa-Ga approaches.



The Armies:

chas: Quahon, Black Wyrmling x 2 & Kozil, Spiders x 3
Sherman: Sgt Drake (110), Eltahale & Iskra, Dreadguls x 3
Taeblewalker: Zogross Hardscale, Armoc Vipers x 2
& Venoc Warlord, Venoc Vipers x3, Isamu
Ishmel: Bramcephys, Marcu & Cyprien, Sonja, Chainfighter x 2
Quizcode: Wo-Sa-Ga, Nagrubs x 3, Chainfighter
& Ne-Gok-Sa, Brunak, Tarn Viking Warriors
kolakoski: Bahadur, Arthur of Sherwood, Darrak Ambershard
& Viceron, Prince al'Kahora, Siiv




Wo-Sa-Ga vs. Bramcephys




One round knockout for the Venoc Vipers.


The Scores:

chas: 2,610
Ishmel: 2,285
Taeblewalker: 2,221 (Missed first Round; gave him
his average points in lieu of first Round.)
Sherman: 2,110
kolakoski: 1,640
Quizcode: 1,485


Congratulations, chas!





How did this happen?


The maps looked and played great. Thanks to Flash_19 for the designs and chas for hosting us and building the maps for gameday.





Looking good in our living room.


I'll be packing up Venom (sans Glyphs) today for our granddaughter's birthday weekend. Creating a Heroic All Star Game for her and her cousins/friends.

Thanks @kolakoski for posting those pictures and battle reports! That was fun to look through. Way to have enough Ticalla Jungle sets to cover all those maps!

I reworked the jungle placement so that it is no longer covering any level three (a wise bit of feedback for a tournament map I think) - I also slightly adjusted some of the height positioning.

I like the changes! The main concern I have now looking at it is that I feel like developing your army to the right will be better than developing to the left, since it has stronger high ground available with less move. That said, the passage to the right is narrower than the one to the left, so that may help to balance it out -- that's worked on other maps. So it's not something I'm 100% sure would be an issue, just something to keep an eye on.

You still have better access to the glyph on the left and a shot at getting to the glyph on the middle road to the left as well. I think it looks pretty good.

Re: Flash_19's Maps: New Map 1/9/19!

I'm a believer that if you ask someone to do something challenging, you better be willing/able to do it yourself. In harmony with the currently running ARV contest, I decided to create this map.

Frenzied:
Requires 1x RotV, 1x SotM, 2x TJ, 1x FoA


Be sure to check out the current ARV contest here.

And feel free to leave any feedback as well!

Thanks so much guys. I'm happy with how it turned out!

EDIT: To anyone who might have downloaded it - I had to make a small tweak - so you'll want to redownload it.

Otherwise do like mix of lava and LOS blockers that makes you choose strategically where to go.

Thanks for pointing that out to me! I hadn't seen the article yet. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it too!
