MARS D.C. Winter Classic - January 2024

[Earl_of_Sandwich]

Marylanders and beyond! Let's ring in the New Year with a Heroscape tournament!

When
Sunday January 14, 2024
Sign-in starts at 12:30, game play starts at 1pm
4 rounds ending around 5pm
Feel free to stay after for additional gaming!

Where
Game Kastle
4748 Cherry Hill Rd
College Park MD 20740

There is plenty of parking in the shopping center, which also has plenty of food options. The store is okay with closed drinks and neat food/snacks in the shop (they just ask that we keep food off of the blue playmats that are on the tables).

Entry Fee
$10
Part of the fee will go towards renting the space, the rest will go towards gift certificates for the top X players (number and amount to be decided that day).

Format
My Time to Shine - with Superstars!
490 points, 24 figure limit.
Classic and VC allowed.
Standard points.
Your army may only include units ranked "B" or lower in dok's VC-inclusive Power Rankings. However, your army may include one of the following "superstars" (selected units that are ranked B+ and higher). The superstars are:

• Alastair MacDirk
• Atlaga the Kyrie Warrior
• Augamo
• Boreos
• Corvor
• Major J15
• Morgoloth
• Pel
• Rygarn

Unranked units (i.e. Kalagrith, Agent Nora, etc) may be brought as if they were ranked a "B".

If you have any questions about army-building for this format, do not hesitate to reach out! I'm also happy to bring extra armies or units for anyone to use, just let me know!

Maps
Any help bringing a map (or two!) is much appreciated!

Also, please note that a few more units have been added to the Superstar list!

Excellent! I’ll know more when it gets closer but it should be good.

Awesome! Hope to see you there

[Sir Heroscape]

Thanks for selecting one of my maps! I'm excited to hear how people like it...it's one of my favorites...lending itself to fast and furious games.

also, when you tag people for attendance to any of the MARS events, please include @Ijustworkhere going forward he's a friend of mine who I've brought up in the ways of Heroscape and will be moving to your area in the new year. He loves Heroscape and is a naturally talented player. Watch out! haha.

Yeah man, I'm looking forward to playing on Tabasco! And absolutely, I'll be sure to tag him moving forward. Hope to see him at a MARS event soon!

Also, @ everyone, please note the update to the OP regarding unranked units.

[clancampbell]

I could possibly come. Maybe even bring my son too. We'd possibly need to borrow some figures though as we have very little scape.

[Buddy Lee]

I should be able to make this event.

Put me down as a definite maybe.

Sounds good, let me know what units you'd like to borrow and I'll make sure they are there for you. Hope to see you there!
