Classic League: - Worst Army - CONGRATS VEGIETARIAN18

[superfrog]

I had some bad communication with vegies dad and we missed our time on Thursday (mostly my fault), so I will forfeit my game.

[kevindola]

Thanks for everyone's patience as we tried to get these last games in this month. I know the event has stalled a bit with last games trickling in.

But the final game (which is a pseudo play-in game) should be getting played this weekend (or Monday at the latest) and I'll roll the playoffs out after that.

Merry Christmas in March everyone!

AG triumphed over me last night. I took down Sudema pretty quickly with Earth Elementals (only lost two Yari to stares) and I won the key initiative to allow the Yari to take down most of the Venocs. However, Sturla didn't bring back any of my Yari or Elementals, but it brought back a Venoc and Sudema. Youch.

Things still looked decent for me late on: I had it down to Sudema, Brave Arrow, Kyntela, and a Venoc against an attack-boosted DW7k, Acolarh, Kyntela, and an Earth Elemental. But the second coming of Sudema caught fire, staring Acolarh, 7k, and the EE to death in quick succession. GG AG!

One tournament that hasn't been cancelled.

kevindola vs. Arrow Grut starting now.

[kevindola]

Had a really fun game with Arrow Grut.

I led with Yari the first couple of rounds and killed a pair of Sahugain Raiders that had developed.

I jumped on Astrid and Dagmar and around an initiative switch was able to kill a full squad of Obsidians without seeing any counterattacks except a couple of Sudema Stares.

I made the decision to encircle Darrak next, but he rolled 2/2 shields twice and it took 4 order markers to put him down. In that time The obsidians claimed Dagmar and Sudema took down a squad of Yari.

I switched to Earth ELementals and traded 2 of them for 2 Obisidians, leaving 1. Sudema stoned Sir Hawthorne in that time.

I got a critical 10 move 5 attack (+2 wild, +1 Astrid) attack from Otonashi to bring Sudema to 1 life and then Otonashi killed her off.

My last Earth Elemental killed his last obsidian and put 2 wounds on Morsbane, before Morsbane killed a negated Oto and the Elemental.

DW7k claimed the Heroic Rune and had a 1v1 battle with Morsbane that the soulborg came out on top of.

AG surrendered with 2 raiders against 3 Yari (on Astrid), Acolarh, Gwyn, and 7k

Won a battle of a game vs. Chris Perkins. It was a mirror matchup, but the parts of our armies that were different were a lot more important than the parts that were the same. He opened with straight Deadeye Dan for his first four turns, and on the wide open board he had plenty of space to blast Yari. Chris killed four Yari on his first four turns with Dan. Meanwhile, I slingshotted Kyntella on to Astrid using Ullar's Amulet, and started desperately running Yari at Dan. Dan would always kill the closest one, but on my fourth turn, I caught him with one Yari and drew blood. Because it was my fourth turn, I knew Chris's OM2 and OM3 were on the Yari, so I pivoted sending the rest of my Yari up the hill opposite to Dan, and prepared for a Round 3 initiative switch play on his startzone. Chris sent his Yari up to support Dan, and my Yari that was attacking Dan sacrificed himself to kill one Yari. Chris took the initiative glyph, but his Yari that were in the startzone were bodyblocked from getting to my Yari by Morsbane two fish and a water space. So my final three attack-glyph boosted Yari did serious damage. They killed Morsbane, which did make a hole for Chris's Yari to get through, but those Yari either failed attacks or declined attacks for Encircle. On the other end of the board, Chris was encircling my startzone heroes with his Yari: he took out my Raiders and Deathwalker this way. My Acolarh came in and got a crucial pair of kills on Chris's Yari to deny Encircle on himself or Sudema. I still had three Yari left, but Chris switched over to his startzone heroes. My Yari managed to bring down Acolarh and one fish before losing their lives. It was DW7K, 1 Fish, 1 Yari, 2-life Dan vs. Acolarh, Sudema, Kyntela (on Astrid). Acolarh ran down Dan, not taking any damage along the way. DW7K drew two wounds on Acolarh, but Acolarh struck back with a 3/4 skull blow met with 2/7 shields and Chris Perkins lost an OM on the soulborg. Chris's last figure, the Raider ran away from Acolarh to bash in Kyntela and then smelled blood on the wounded Acolarh to kill him too. Sudema and the Raider was the final duel. They spent an entire round throwing futile 2v3s against each other, until the Raider drew two wounds, threatening to kill Sudema the following turn, and Sudema struck back with a killing blow of her own. Good game, lots of layers.
