OHS Special Event: Bring the VCheese #2 CONGRATS BOROMIR96

[Dysole]

1 and done. Boromir knocked me out last time. He knocked me out this time. A suboptimal Raelin placement and a risky Hydra movement are the two moves I'm most questioning (along with a couple other minor plays) but he killed too many rats in the early going for me to be able to screen the knights and keep them from punching through my lines. He also won a key initiative that led to a dead Hydra rather than a Hydra attacking a bunch of knights from height. He played it very well and we had a good post game discussion if you want to catch that on the twitch or youtube channel. (and hey you might even see plays that I should've done better; I'm always willing to learn)

~Dysole, getting flashbacks to all those Online Con events earlier in the year where the first game is a loss

The GUILD_WARRIOR v. mtl1998 pool of armies is:

* Bol, Kon-Tar-Na, Raelin the Kyrie Warrior [RotV], Su-Bak-Na, Marrden Nagrubsx4
* Braxas, Marcu Esenwein, Raelin the Kyrie Warrior [RotV], Buccaneers of Tortugax3

GUILD_WARRIOR chooses who places first.

Starting very soon... Hoping to have some success with the buccs in a different format this time around.

Well, the buccs did it no thanks to Raelin or Braxas really. @GUILD_WARRIOR surrendered with one nagrub against two pirates and Marcu. One single pirate took Raelin down in two attacks of 5. Kon-Tar-Na leapt into the middle of pirates also taking down a Raelin before the slugfest begun. After the Raelins died, Braxas was the next target, only defending against a nagrub, and dying without taking an offensive OM. Su-Bak-Na had a similar life, failing to roll defense against a couple of pirates on the opposite side of the board. Opportunistic felt as good as I expected it to feel against melee bonding. The difference between 3 attack and 4 attack is substantial. I love how much work the pirates can get done with 4 attacks of 4 per turn.
Ggs, GUILD_WARRIOR. It was a close one!

Edit: The report link is showing me Season 38 games, but I won this matchup.

[Dad_Scaper]

Who is @dok ? Is he a new player? Am I supposed to show him how to play?

[vegietarian18]

For anyone who wants to fill out a bracket, my dad's army is:
Vulcanmech Incendiborgs, Krav Maga Agents, Raelin [RotV], Deathreavers x4

This time we'll just have people post their picks directly in the thread rather than PM. I'll have my picks up shortly but need some time to figure it all out.

[Muskie]

The forum says Heroscaper Guy picks who places first. Our board says Coach Muskie does. Which do we go by? Not a big deal, but I am easily confused.

[Dysole]

So I ran the matchups twice because the first one had messed up emails. So the one in the game could show differently than here. Use the one listed in the thread as the correct one especially since our equalizer is still not working and we have to manually check it.

~Dysole, informationally

[vegietarian18]

🚨 vegie picks out 🚨

[Vydar_XLIII]

Here's my bracket. I can link the form if anyone wants it, I already put it in the Discord.



EDIT: Ninja'd by vegie. @vegie: Damn those are some spicy picks in my favor! Although, I'm not too keen on losing to Dysole for the 3rd tournament in a row. lol.
