Gurei-Ornery's Picture Battle Reports (Original, I Know!)

[Gurei-Ornery]

Hello and welcome to Friday Night Fights!

My son and I liked Frylock's reports so much, we decided to steal his format. Seriously, I think his reports are great and fill a void for people who either have a tough time finding someone to play against or just have a tough time with time.

The main reason I am starting this thread is to get my son, Legos of Bleakewoode on the forum (to be referred to as LoB from now on in this thread), excited about Heroscape again. I have ruined myself by buying too many other games that have drawn his attention away from Heroscape.

One of our/his problems has been army selection (my fault again; by buying multiples of everything it becomes daunting to choose), so for our first battle we used Carakki/InfaredFog's random draft deck with a 600 point threshold/ 500 point army. Sadly, I didn't record all of the cards we drew. It would have been nice to have gotten feedback on army selection based our “hands”.

Anyhoo, to the map!
I apologize for not giving credit to the map's designer, I will try not to let that happen again. If anyone recognizes it I will gladly edit my post to include their handle.



Gurei-Ornery's (G-O) Army: DW 7000, Skahen, Carr, Snipers x1, and Repulsor's x2

LoB's Army: Drake SotM, Brunak, AE, Spiders x3 (510 I know. He's 8 and I love him, what am I supposed to do.)

Thanks for checking this out, I/we hope you like it. Feel free to predict the victor and expect some bad decisions we are both noobs. We've already played this one and it was pretty fun.

G-O

[MegaSilver]

I'm going with LoB's army. He can hack through your army G-O if you're not careful.

I've played on that map before, though I can't place the name at the moment.

[Schulzy]

Sunken Temple, I think.

[Dwarvenwarrior123]

Don't let the children get the upper hand! I pick G-O.

The Battle Report:

Spoiler Alert!

OK, here we go.

Round 1 initiative
LoB gets the drop with a 15 and places AE randomly on his side of the board since he didn't have confidence in his 20D.
G-O: 7
LoB: 13

1. Drake moves up to the road.

1. 7000 moves up to the road.

2. Spiders move up to the road.

2. 7000 moves up to height.

3. Spiders move; one to height, two up the road to the south toward a glyph in a spider hole.

3. 7000 goes down the south ladder. (oops, didn't realize 7000 couldn't use the ladder. Didn't really make a difference because of what I did with him next round.)

End of round position



Round 2 initiative
G-O: 13
LoB: 8

1. 7000 moves back to the same position he was before the ladder fiasco with height on an AE and spider. Beatdown applied to the AE. G-O draws first blood.



1. Spiders move; one adj to 7000, one to glyph (move +2). 7000 shrugs off the puny spiders attacks.

2. Repulsors move up and take some shots at the spider on the glyph to no avail.

2. Two spiders speed up the road adjacent to a repulsor and manage a kill.



3. Repulsors move to height on spiders and firing with a frightening 2 attack kill only one.



3. Spiders spring into adjacency to three repulsors and take out an entire squad.


Zoom for effect



Round 3 initiative
G-O: 18
LoB: 16

1. Snipers, almost as if they had hearts, seek revenge for their fallen borg brothers killing the 3 spiders that took part in last rounds slaughter.



1. Two AE move adj to 7000 looking to avoid Stealth Dodge but miss. One fires from distance …..





2. 7000, surrounded by two spiders and two AE, decides to end it all.

Spoiler Alert!

2. Spiders move up to replace the fallen.

3. Skahen moves up.

3. Spiders move up and one takes the move +2 glyph again.

Round 4 initiative
G-O: 14
LoB: 8

1. Remaining two repulsors move up.

1. Brunak moves adj to Drake for the pickup.

2. Carr moves up with Skahen.

Round 6 initiative
G-O: 18
LoB: 9

1. Carr moves to height on Drake, but manages only one wound.

Round 7 initiative

Next battle will be on Dungeon Lake by jschild.


G-O's Army:
Marcus
Sacred Band x5
TSA x2


LoB's Army:
Kurrok
Fire Elemental x5

We are in the midst of the fray as I type. Hopefully will have the report up tonight.

[The CEE]

I think LoB's elemental army will prevail. However, I'm slightly worried about the sheer number of Greeks and samurai he will have to kill.

[Dad_Scaper]

I'll take G-O to get Revenge of the Dad.

[boromir96]

G-O!!!

[Gurei-Ornery]

This one took forever to complete (13 rounds) and came down to 1 on 1. I don't know if I will finish the report tonight. It was fun and this map is tough.

G-O
