Re: Colorado Events: Past Present and Future

I talked to Troy, and he sounds interested. Haven't gotten a hold of Eric yet.

Regarding format, since I haven't played in a while, I'd prefer to avoid any custom figures. Or, maybe I should say that I'm somewhat less likely to come if we expect a lot of customs involved...

Re: Colorado Events: Past Present and Future

Any thoughts on Maps?... I thought it might be kinda of fun doing a couple of the 1x BFtU Challenge maps, or maybe something like Typhon2222's Shangri-la or Ice Thistle or maybe Lethe's Lament. I'm not sure how tounament worthy they are, but it is something different.

Format? I dunno. Maybe something involving smaller size armies?

Again, for something different, how about a "Unique squads or Unique Heroes only" army?

What say you? Just throwing ideas out there.

Re: Colorado Events: Past Present and Future

Bad news. Springs crew can't make it up. We're looking at another 2 weeks or so of bad scheduling for now. We should be looking at better luck after that. Sorry guys. I really can't express how much we want to get up there.

Oh wowzers. Whether it works out or not, thanks for even thinking of us. The contest yielded some great maps, and I know the guys involved would be delighted if they knew their work was reaching an audience.

(Monday is the last day to vote in the semi-finals, by the way, if you haven't already. Link in sig. All invited.)

Those maps look cool to me! I'd also be interested in an all Castle Map tournament, too-- I think that would force people to bring some unique army combinations.

We could also do an all melee tournament. Or, how 'bout this: every army has to include either Dund or Agent Carr...

Sounds good. It's just a hop, skip, and jump for Troy, right?

Booo....

Well, everyone voice your opinions on C3V/SoV. Elginb, your opinion will be respected if you actually commit to coming to a no-custom event.

I like some of those 1xBftU maps, yeah. Sounds like fun. We'll get into the nitty-gritty when the contest ends.

I always like a little balance in the map choices... I can look at finishing the castle map I've had in mothballs for a while, though.

Either of those would be fine with me. I just played a unique/uncommon format in online play.

We've never done a (power rank)-or-less format; that could be fun, too. A- or less? B or less? C+ or less??

Sorry to hear it. Next time...

Re: Colorado Events: Past Present and Future

That power ranked game type sure sounds fun. Where is the list of power rankings again?

Re: Colorado Events: Past Present and Future

I don't like limits via Power Rank-- if we pick an unusual format (like all castle maps), that will bring out the unusual figures...

Oh, how about this-- instead of of an all-melee game, how about an all ranged game? You wouldn't be able to bring traditional blocking units like rats or what-not, so you'd have to get creative...

Re: Colorado Events: Past Present and Future

As for customs, I might not be against them if this wasn't the first time I've played in months. If we picked a few customs that I could thoroughly study before we meet, that would be okay... it would be best for me if we decided which ones, now. Maybe SoV only?

Also, I love super heroes, so I'd be more open to C3G customs just for geeking out purposes...

Re: Colorado Events: Past Present and Future

Okay, I'll commit to coming to this tournament. It's a new year and last year turned out to be a bad year for Heroscape for me-- time to recommit to the game...

Excellent!

SoV only? What say ye, peoples?

Any thoughts on point totals? I am actually itching for a big number, but I can go low, too. Someone else decide this.

Two maps for your consideration:
