Dayton, OH Tournament - January 24

When:
January 24th, 12:00pm; the store (and sign-in) opens at 11:00, sign in early and browse!

Where:
Bookery Fantasy-Games & Toys
13 West Main
Fairborn, OH 45324-4712

MapQuest here: http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Fa...Games+%26+Toys

Cost:
There will be no entry fee. Bring a prize for the prize table if you can (HeroScape-related preferred but not necessary), but don't let the lack of a prize keep you away. The store had a couple of trays of Utgar's Rage packs and two of each Master Set last time I was in.

Prizes:
Players will get to pick a single prize from the prize table in order of their ranking (highest first, lowest last).

Some prizes known:
A map pick for the next tournament (subject to my approval)
Agent Skahen exclusive figure
Wolves and Minutemen expansion
Utgar dice tower, by outforblood

Armies:
500 points apiece. No customs, no Marvelscape units - repainted versions of exclusive figures are fine. The theme is cheap armies - no unique unit or set of common units can cost more than 140 points. For example, you could have two sets of Roman Legionnaires (50 points each) and two sets of Roman Archers (55 points each), but you couldn't have three of either since that would be 150 for the Legionnaires or 165 for the Archers. Likewise with common heroes; you could have five Swog Riders (125 points total) but not six (150 points total). There will be 24 starting zone hexes - any figures in excess of 24 cannot be used.

Tournament Scoring:
The tournament will have five rounds of one-on-one games. Scoring for losing players will be done by adding the points they destroyed to their points remaining, if any.

OVAH Bonus Points:
The OVAH allows up to 40 bonus points. Each match you can earn 10 bonus points by being the first to make a kill, capped at a maximum of 40 points.

Glyphs:
Each player gets a set of five glyphs (+1 attack, +1 defense, +2 move, +8 initiative and Summoning - limited to your own figures only) and can use them when they want to - but a glyph can only be placed at the begining of the round, before order markers are placed. They can be placed face-down wherever the player wants (as long as the glyph can legally go there - no tree ornament glyphs!), including under one of their units. However, each glyph can only be placed once in a game, and the permanent glyphs will only last for that round. Glyphs activate after order markers are placed and before initiative is rolled if placed under a figure.

What else:
I will provide dice as well as wound and order markers - feel free to bring your own Valkyrie dice, of course. If you need master set (RotV only) figures to complete your army (for instance, two people normally play with one master set and want to include the same figure), there should be plenty available.

Unknown Map, by Utgarsrage

Download pdf:
Download hsc:
Details for this map are notoriously missing. If Utgarsrage doesn't mind, I will post this after the tournament.

Extra maps in case of overflow:

First Strike, by Ch1can0 - Teleporting - The glyphs of Brandar are portals. If a unit steps on one of these glyphs, it is teleported to the other stone circle around the other glyph of Brandar. After going through the portal, units are placed on a field next to the target glyph. The movement stops there, but the unit(s) can make an attack. Double hex units cannot go through the portals. If all the fields around the target portal are occupied, you cannot teleport. The map will be changed slightly - the three-hex highpoints at opposite ends of the map will be rotated and slightly leveled so double-hex melee figures are not prevented from attacking the outside hex.

The Crooked Path, by Marduk - shown above

[Onion Knight]

I'm in!

The angle on glyphs and low cost units sounds fun.

[Trekkie]

Put me on for a maybe!

[KCU Master 2007]

Me and Luckyfingers (my fiance) will be there barring anything unforseen.

Its an interesting idea really. I'm not sure how I'm going to handle it...*runs off to start building army ideas and wishing that Dupuis was just a little bit cheaper*

EDIT: I have a question though. Say someone were to bring DW 7000 and blows him up killing some opponents figures, who gets the first kill?

I can see I'll have to tweak the wording slightly. 7K killed one or more of the opponent's figures, and thus would have made the first kill. His removal from the board is a side effect of his power rather than a kill, and so if he failed to kill anybody I would still not give the opponent credit for a kill. Similarly, I wouldn't give your opponent credit for the first kill if the first fatality was you removing a Marro Nagrub to heal a hivelord - though of course they would still count for points at the end.

[RhinoBarbarian]

I'm in. For those of you who don't know me, im the new guy in OVAH. Haven't been to an event yet. But I will be at this one for sure.

Thanks for clearing that up Marduk. I guess that makes sense.

And Rhino, welcome aboard. If you need anything just let us know and we can hook you up at the tournament.

[Father Of Julian]

Father Of Julian Will be there plus two.

[SuperflyTNT]

I will be there, of course, come heck or high waters. 99% Utgarsrage will be with me.

One question on the Glyphs as we talked about in the truck - do you know what these glyphs are when we place them or are they face down the whole time until you place them and disclose their identity?

Thanks Big M!

You will know what they are, your opponent won't know until they are revealed (after order markers have been placed, before the initiative roll).

Go ahead and make it 100%, I have to defend my title don't I?

You can mix and match - the only limit is on points per army card(s).

Well, you could actually give someone else a chance at it instead. Then again, Onion Knight will be up for this one and we know *he* can handle you. Sic'em, O.K.! And of course if I end up playing I'll have to try making up for my losses to the two of you in Louisville. I'll take the both of you with your hands tied behind your backs!
