OHS Season 53 - Delta Coalition Wars - congrats vegie!

[Grey Waves]

^I don't have much to add to what Vegie wrote here. The cutters were 1/16 on attack dice at one point during the mid game, and Vegie won a couple key initiatives that could've really swung the momentum back in my favour had I won them instead. Still really proud of my run this tournament - 4 wins, 2 losses is pretty damn good. Slightly disappointed I couldn't take my army further considering it's one of my favourite builds I've ever brought to an event, but eh, that's life I guess.

I lost to ryguy this morning. I don't generally like blaming dice for a loss of a game but this game they were terrible. I had a spot in the mid game where I blanked just about an entire round and only got one kill out of three with 4v1 chain fighters. But other than that it was a fun game and it I had to pick some one to lose to it would be ryguy. I wasn't super sure about all the guards going into the event but ryguy convinced me to play the CGs and tomb skeletons. I think in this format the CGs and tomb skeletons backed by Warden were really solid and was nice having bodies on the field. GG Ryan and good luck in the finals.

Dang Ryguy in the OST and OHS finals....dude's a machine!

[quozl]

I want to hear more about Ryguy using Shurrak!

Tomb Skeletons making top 4 is also pretty cool. In the almost 3 years I've been competing in OHS, I can't remember them making the semifinals of an event even once.

Yep, really happy to have confirmed Blaha in playing them, he was hesitating between them and dwarves, I was like "bro 18>>8 " haha. Really really good build by Blaha who went away from the kinda obvious Romans or Greenies.
Congratz for the good run og-Blaha!

And yeah Ryguy not joking around lately lol.

I beat Arrow Grut in the Roman mirror. This was a Me-Burq-Sa show for me. He ended up doing all but one wound to Azurite, all but one wound to Ne-Gok-Sa, and killing at least four Romans.

After seeing Arrow Grut's early push towards the Holdir side of the board, I deployed my troops towards Wannok, knowing that it would take a really long time for four move Romans to contest it. I placed my Azurite Warlord a bit too aggressively in that process, and after initiative switch in Round 2 he was gone. But I was over on the hill that I wanted.

From there, I bonded entirely MBS, holding the Level 4 perch on Battlefield 23. He landed a couple stares on the Azurite to clear him out, while my Romans desperately tried to build whatever wall they could for him. He got caught a couple times but the attacks were always up. I got two Wannoks off as we fought. I was down by a pretty substantial margin of Romans at one point, maybe 10 to 7, but my Romans stormed back in the late game with some great blocks, and I was the one left with three Romans when Arrow Grut had zero. And the three Romans and MBS were plenty into MBS and NGS. Good game.

If I had a nickel for every time I was matched up with vegie in an OHS finals game on the map Forest Fire, I would have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.
