Nope. Full squads only. Going old school and back to the beginnings for this one. We will have a few newer players. Keep it simple and be creative with odd figures.

Sounds good. I am dragging along a few options ~ once I can find & dust off my figures

Thanks for hosting!

Hmmm. I've never thought of the idea of partial squad army building before. I could see how this could be interesting and makes sense. A lot of armies that I might want to build, like with Gruts or Knights, have too many units and could be resolved by using that. I might do such an event sometime myself.

It can help when you have say 20 points or less .. from everyone having Isamu or Marcu. 17 pts for a next Knight or Dwarf can be more thematic.

OK. You have convinced me. Let's do partial squad building today. With classic, there only 3 figures that are 20 points or less. This might prevent seeing those 3 figures in over half the armies.

Thank you for organizing and hosting this event! Was amazing to get in some games, roll some skulls {mostly on defense}, and hang out with the great people.

I tried out some Zombies in the event, and they were 2-2. They couldn't stand up to The Capuan Gladiators who held the Defense Glyph all game and then MicroCorp on a very favorable swamp water map + Rae-Rae.

But again THANK YOU for the games.

No, THANK YOU!


Santa came to visit! Thank you for the prize support - including the Volcarren Wasteland set and all of the still packaged sets. Somebody didn't realize what they were getting until they did an Ebay search. Loving my Maximus Funco bobble-head. You are amazing!

Hey guys! I’ll totally be down for playing in February it’s been to long since I got to throw down dice with all of you. Do y know if anybody else saw but I think Heroscape is making a comeback looked like they were gonna release a new master set.
