Unbelievable Wins and Losses
Many Heroscapers have experienced these situations, or see them happen. The impossible happens -- you score a final win with your Marcu against 10 figures. Or, your Braxas is destroyed by Deadeye Dan just before you was going to use Poisonous Acid Breath on him.
While these cases, may not happen to everyone, certain unimagable triumpths and gut-wrenching losses happen to us. That is Heroscape. So, why not hear about these unbelievable wins and losses? We all like to here a close call, and symphasive a overwhelming loss. Here, you can post these wins and losses, tell us how it happened, and help other Heroscapers through the situations, in case they run into similar ones.

Re: Unbelievable Wins and Losses
Well, one event that happened to me was that I was playing a Samurai army against my brother.
I had: Kato Katsuro Riflemen x2 Spearmen x2 Kozuki Samurai He had: Minutemen x2 Ashra x1 Deathwalker 9000 Syvarris Krav Magna Agents Microcorp x1 He swamped my army on this low lying battlefield, that had a river that flooded with a d20 of 14 or higher. I had play tested my army earlier, and they were decimating. But when I battled my brother, he done that to me. His D9 wiped out a lot of my figures before they could forge to river. The biggest win for me was that my Spearmen took out his Krav Magna in one turn, but backfired when he used D9 to destroy three. My Rilfemen took out the Microcorp after some heavy losses. That was the only figures he lost, until Kato was left. Kato forged the river during a dry spell, and did a dance with D9 and Syvarris. He managed to take them both out, but with 2 wounds recieved. Kato then went to take out the 2x 4th and 1x Ashra, who will still left in the starting zone. He managed to take out 2 4th and an Ashra before he fell to the Ashra himself. My brother never even used his 4th. I was shocked at the loss, and my brother was joyous with his first win in a very long time. But I wasn't upset or anything, for if my brother was happy at a win, then that meant he would still play. I did have a good battle, even though I lost.

Re: Unbelievable Wins and Losses
Simple.
Undead army against Samurai and the little ninja that could. I was up against the entire vampire clan and a bunch of zombies, With the various Samurai figures. After two rounds I was down to 2 Tag samurai, and Isamu, and had only killed the retchs. It looked bleak. My Samurai however mowed down the zombies, Marcu and Irska. Then Cyp took them both out. It looked Bleak one ninja agaist a couple of Happily married full health Vampires. Cyp thought he could finish it fast. He thought wrong. Vanishing at every attack Isamu made his way to the attack +1 glyph. That ninja kept dogding until it was all over. Sonya's heart broken she welcomed the Ninja's blade. |

I had: all Esenweins Rechets 2x zombies. He had: Minutemen x2 KoW x2 Gilbert Denrick and some filler I don't remeber We played on a relatively small map to. And that was when I realized I had no range. They were speedy but not speedy enough to get past the destruction of "wait and fire" It came down to 3 zombies and marcu against nearly his entire army. The zombies didn't revive anyone, and Marcu started to hate me and did my opponents bidding for a turn courteous of an 18 on the d20. So Marcu moved close to the minutemen and got wait then fired. Then the zombies died. It wasn't a close match at all. I killed maybe 4 or 5 figures? less? But it was truely an amazing victory. |

Re: Unbelievable Wins and Losses
In a mini tournament on my birthday I was playing my brother. the armies were...
Vydar is the man Major Q9 Krav Maga Agents Laglor Raelin the Kyrie Warrior (RotV) Marro Warriors Awesome Sujoah Braxas Brunak Raelin the Kyrie Warrior (RotV) 2x Marro Stingers We were playing on a small field much like Swamp thing. He wins inititive and moves out Braxas. She gasses all 3 of my Krav on the first turn. I lose Om's 1 and 2. His #2 was on Brunak who carried out Raelin. His #3 was on Braxas again and she gassed a lone Marro. Then I move out Q9 and put 2 wounds on his Raelin. Next round he wins inititive again and Braxas gasses 2 more marro. My Q9 then Kills his Raelin. Now I'm thinking "I have 3 heroes left, he can't gass them all". Man was I wrong! He moves Braxas and engages Laglor, Raelin, and the last MW. He gasses. For the MW he rolls a 16. For Laglor, a 20. And for Raelin... 20!!! "WTF" He, being 8 years old is squealing in delight and I'm staring in disbelif. Fortunately I only lose my X marker. I shoot at Braxas with my Q9 inflicting 5 wounds. Braxas flies over and attacks, but I defend. Q9 Quiglexes Braxas for 3 wounds, Silencing the black dragon. I win Inititive finnally and with Q9 I inflict 2 wounds on Brunak. He retaliates and I take a wound. Brunak falls to a point blank Quiglex shot and I skip my 3rd turn because his stingers were out of range. The fourth round was a bloodbath. He wins inititive and moves in the stingers. I Quiglex them killing 2. He moves up more and with the one in range he inflicts 1 wound with the help of stinger drain. I kill 3 more with Q9 and the last one fails a stinger drain. I won thanks to Q9 but Braxas was the MVP for the game. -Vitm "I disagree.

Re: Unbelievable Wins and Losses
Ontanashi (Sp?) dealing 4 wounds in two turns to the Hulk and killing him.
My wife actually cursed in front of our son when the most useless 10 pointer brought down the most expensive unit in the game. Now through May 28th, the Louisville region is in desperate need of platelets - call the Red Cross if you are interested in donating! |

Mine was a 600 point game. My friend rolls for massive curse. One Marro Warrior dies. He rolls on my figures. Sonlen, Q10, Drake Mach II and 2 KMA are killed. Then I go in with Ulginesh, Emiroon, Jordawn and Arkmer. Ulginesh, Jordawn and Arkmer mindshackled in 2 turns. Heedless to say, he won that game. I don't remember the exact armies though. But I only have RotV, SotM, The elves above, the rats and the WoA. I am a supporter of Star Wars, HeroScape, Age of Mythology and Ninja Ponies. Don't judge my good taste. Support the Sasquatch Militia. We are looking for people like YOU! |

Re: Unbelievable Wins and Losses
In a castle scenario I was sitting pretty happy on Major Q10 with one wound and 2x Stingers. My opponent had only a lone Zettian Guard he moved him way back into his original starting zone. He lured me out of the castle, I sent out both my squads of Stingers, before my Stingers could get in to range of the Zettian he had already shot down a full squad of Stingers. (My friend kept getting 2+ skulls with a height advantage. Eventually I closed in getting off a few shot but the eight defense (7+height is extremely hard to penetrate with 3-4 attack. So he ended up blocking all my attacks and for the next three turns he decimated my remaining Stingers.
So now it it was down to Major Q10 with one wound and the lone Zettian. I sent out my Major to hunt down the Zettian. Major Q10 get first strike and uses his wrist rocket special, both attacks of four got blocked easily by the Zettian's 8 defense. The Zettian strikes back and rolls two skulls, Major Q10... 0 shields. Major Q10 now has 3 wounds. The next round I win initiative and I move up to the same level of elevation as the Zettian. I use my Wrist Rocket attack. First roll 2 skulls... blocked, second roll 3 skulls, Zettian... two shields. I finally won, but with a lot of casualties. It may not of been a n unbelievable win or loss but definitely one of the most successful Zettian performances ever and one fantastic finish. |

Re: Unbelievable Wins and Losses
I was playing Rodriquez and I had a full-life Major Q10, 2 wounds Silver Surfer, and Isamu left.
Rodriquez had Isamu left. That was it. And Rod won. That little red bast-, well, that little red ninja owned the day. "Chewie should move 6, lumbering or not. He's got long-ass legs"-

It was Q9 and Isamu, not Q10. Anyway, that makes it more remarkable considering TBR and Major Q9 both died in the same turn with Q9 doing nothing and TBR inflicting 2 wounds on sparty and not teleporting anything. Also, don't forget when you played (friend) and had 2 TSA left against full health sparty then maxed out atk on height twice and sparty blanked twice.
