A_Train's Pictured Battle Reports / Predict the Victor

[gorthan313]

I'll vote New Guy and A_Train. Isamu will probably provide problems though....

[A_Train]

Here are the updated tables. I seem to garnish a lot of the votes when I lose, but have none of them when I win.
Sorry!
I'd also like to point out that the Player Stats table, isn't for bragging rights among those of us playing, but just to give you guys some background info when making your choices. It also helps dispel rumours that I outskill my opponents, when clearly I lose about as much as I win. (Though not in singles matches, )

...My vote goes to Brian and Paul

Gah... A_Train, why, oh, why didn't you advance your Roborats ahead of your Redcoats? Their army had NO range, save for Kaemon Awa...

The 10th should have murdered the Groks, let alone the MacDirks behind a Roborat screen... Paul played well IMO, and you guys worked well together i.e. tying up and killing both Charos and Kaemon Awa was solid; teaming up on Cyprien and Ne-Gok-Sa with Syv and Drake was good too. Nonetheless, A_Train seemed to take unecessary losses, and given how close the game was at the end, this could have been a deciding factor. Finally, I have to hand it to Brian who made the most of Alastair.

The Upcoming Match:
I think Brian and Paul have pretty cool armies. Nonetheless, A_Train and Newguy have a ton of can openers plus the famed Finn-Theracus bomb. Hopefully we'll see a start zone rush from Theracus carrying Finn, followed by putting his spirit on Zetacron. Looks like a good game.

A_Train and Newguy ftw.

Brian and Paul!

[Red_Sox_1]

Brian and Paul.

[0ros]

Lets go with A_train and newguy.

[Einar's puppy]

New Guy and A_Train ftw.

In the opposing army the TSA only have one squad's worth. They probably won't be able to do anything. And that Army Doesn't help Su Bak Na at all. And let's not forget Stingers > most everything

We need some good battles with strategy not just who can kill who the fastest.

I would like some further explination to the above...I am not sure who this Floozy is referring to...and why?

A-Train is my pick to win this game.

I am not referring to anyone specific for every game. I'm just saying that when I play heroscape with some of my friends its more fun when you have close games, it takes more skill and strategy. But when I pick first and take 4 squads of ashiguru I prefer for my opponent to see the type of game I want to play and takes squads as well...not zelrig. When we are playing for fun its better time to brush up on our skills.

Us fans want interesting matches with close battles, not a game over in 10 minutes cause zelrig and braxas took out 5-6 squads of ashiguru. Most of the time thats easily predicted before the complete battle report is up.

I don't know... I think New Guy's army of

Cyprien - 150
Sonya - 45
Ne-Gok-Sa - 90
Groks x2 - 260

was carefully chosen and had good synergies. Likewise, most other armies in that game looked like they had some nice synergies. Obviously, any of those armies could be optimized, but they seem like pretty decent draft choices. Just my .

It does become much more difficult to predict a winner when armies appear more haphazard, though. Also, there are times when you feel that one army could/should easily be victorious, but that outcome depends most heavily on the deployment of troops and not just the power built into the army cards.
