Re: Battlefields of Marvel (BoM) Potential By-Laws Discussio
Further comments:
Everyone should keep in mind that we are not trying to duplicate the BoV system (which is a really good system). The purpose here is to encourage maps that would be good for Marvel and Marvel plus Classic Heroscape armies. For example, BoV maps avoid extreme height because they give flying characters an unfair advantage. For Marvel, this is what makes it fun. For example, Dr. Doom and his mechanized army go up against Capt. America and his soldier army. Dr. Doom goes for height, the Capt. America goes for cover and draws him down for the kill. I've also introduced a double map concept that I'm not sure how people will react to it. The idea here was to encourage bigger Marvel type maps like Cavalier's Sub Pen or my Dam. The main reasons I put this in is 1) these maps are incredible fun to play, 2) the BoV stresses 1-on-1 play so this mixes that up a little, and 3) the maps just come out looking really cool! I'm sure this will be controversial, so let's discuss.

Re: Battlefields of Marvel (BoM) Potential By-Laws Discussio
Looks good Pete, I would suggest however that if possible you should have an odd number of judges for the maps. Having 4 or 6 could lend itself to not having a majority vote. 5 or 7 and then, of course, you are guaranteed a majority vote either yay or nay.

Re: Battlefields of Marvel (BoM) Potential By-Laws Discussio
It sounds good to me, as well. Although I would say that a single map may not contain more than 1 type of each terrain expansion, instead of 2.
But one question that just occured to me: Is the purpose of BoM to determine what Marvel Maps are Tourney-worthy, or just to determine the best of marvel maps out there? "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast" Ephesians 2:8-9 "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved" Acts 16:31 PM me if you would like to know more. |

Item 1: I will change. Item 2: This would be competitely played by each judge at their location against who they normally play against. This information can be shared with the group on how it went and whether we believe the map should be included as a BoM.

I think the answer is both on the purpose. First and foremost, this would allow tournaments. Second (especially in the case of the double maps), the best Marvel maps could be highlighted here.

It looked pretty good. I made it 95% for playability and it didn't looked bad...it looked badass. It's really BoMish. I'll show you guys. I'll post a photo as soon as I know where my camera is. So far, Section 1 is great. Try and make a map guys...using the guidelines of course. |

Re: Battlefields of Marvel (BoM) Potential By-Laws Discussio
I'll attempt this soon. I have always felt marvel was neglected. I can barely play without using spidey or capn now.

Re: Battlefields of Marvel (BoM) Potential By-Laws Discussio
Ok, this is my first attempt at a BoM map.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Scapecity Tower Bridge Requires: 1 Marvel, 1 ROTV, 1 FOTA I have play tested it with 800pt combination Marvel/Classic armies. I played both Capt. America and Red Skull Based Armies. They took on Spidysox and his Dr. Doom and Spiderman based armies. We chose these to test a non-flying Marvel army vs. a flying army The battles were all a bunch of fun and extremely competative. The bridge has a lot of cover underneath if someone takes the high ground. All the games were very different with many paths for each army to take. I humbly submit this map as a potential BoM map.

Re: Battlefields of Marvel (BoM) Potential By-Laws & Maps
I can attest to how good a map Peteparkerh's bridge is. It seems to be very balanced and fair and most importantly is a lot of fun. Pete had a lot of range in one of his armies so I sent my troops to the caves and the underside of the bridge and kept his range at bay. I was at first worried that range would rule on this board, but having played it and saw how easily that it could be dealt with my fears were unfounded.
