I got the win over Boromir96 is a long, tough-fought matchup.

Round 1 I spent 2 OMs developing rats - taking Valda and blocking the middle 2 choke-points on the map - and moving Raelin up quite far forward (but also well protected by the middle glacier) so she could cover almost all of my forward deployed rats. Boromir moved up Raelin a little less far forward and then moved up 10th, sending 2 of them forward alone to contest the northern choke-point before I could fully wall it off with rats. That was a nice play. That whole area north of the central glacier was completely clogged with rats & 10th for almost the entire game after that point with neither of us having much movability.

Round 2 I spent 1 more OM developing rats and then switched to Q9, who enjoyed having 7 move. Boromir was mostly bringing up 10th into Raelin's aura in the north, but also sent a few 10th south to contest Valda. The rats in the north were blocking everything, but my first 3 Valda defense rolls combined for 0/12. I didn't lost any more rats after that on Valda though as Q9 was able to clear out all the southern 10th. Boromir kept attacking rats in the north but was unable to kill almost anything (the rats were mostly rolling 7 defense).

The next stage of the game involved both of us trying to assassinate each other's Raelin. I got the 1st shots off, but Q9 did no damage with his 1st round of quiglex. Boromir managed to get a few 10th around the northern dagmar glyph (and take the glyph) and they put some wounds on Raelin. Q9 killed 1 of the 3 10th, but that wasn't enough as the remaining 2 (via WtF) finished off my Raelin. Boromir's Raelin had 2 wounds by this point.

My rats were now rolling only 4-5 defense dice and they started to drop, but I also used them much more aggressively via scatter since there was no need to stay in Raelin's aura. They tied down all the remaining 10th while I finished off Boromir's Raelin (took 2 more turns of SAs to do the last 3 wounds).

At this point I had lost ~ 9 rats + Raelin & Boromir had lost ~ 10 10th & Raelin, which felt like a good overall trade for me.

Q9 & the 10th then dueled for a few rounds while rats tried to keep as many 10th tied down as possible. Ultimately the result of this was Q9 taking 3 wounds and killing all but 3 10th. I then sent Q9 to Dagmar to end a round and killed 1 more 10th. I won init with Q9 and killed another 10th, leaving just 1 10th and Marcu for Boromir to use.

Since I was on Dagmar Boromir had all 3 OMs on Marcu. Marcu moved up but was not able to engage Q9 yet. I then moved MWs out of my SZ on my OM2, keeping them well spread out and out of Marcu's threat range. Boromir then rolled a 19 for eternal hatred though, and I got to move Marcu to a really bad spot. My MWs then got 4 attacks from height, including 1 MW adjacent to Marcu, and did 5 total wounds. Marcu tried to kill the adjacent MW but failed. I won init the next round and Boromir conceded, with the 1 life Marcu (who was about to take 4 more attacks from height from MWs) and 1 10th. I had a 1-life Q9, all 4 MWs, and 3 rats.

gg Boromir!

It was a very well played game, with both of us thinking quite hard about most of our decisions. Final game time ended up being ~ 2 hours 10 minutes, which is one of the longer OHS games I've played in quite some time. Also thanks to superfrog who jumped in as a judge to help with a LoS question we had in the mid-game.

~Dysole, with all games set for this round

[vegietarian18]

I defeated Scaperedude's shooters to advance my commonless build to the semifinals. Everything was firing on all cylinders for me this game. SD's Marro opener was defused without doing much by my Marro + Q9 opener. Q9 and my Marros were able to keep the tide of the Stingers decently at bay for a while, especially since they failed a Drain. When the Stingers pushed up towards my startzone the Brute Gruts emerged and started running. I took three turns with them, berserked twice, and killed six Stingers, knocking off SD's OM3 of that round. Eventually the lowered defense caught up with them and they were easily dispatched by the Vulcanmechs, but Vulcanmechs vs. Raelin + Q9 is a tough duel, and Q9 emerged victorious without a wound. GG SD.

Postponed, not sure how long

Starting now..

EDIT: fun game with @Dysole tonight. I didn't like the matchup just looking at it on paper, but I thought I gave myself a chance in the game. My krav got tied up before too many micros died and that left me in a real tough spot. GGs! Happy to say I went 1-0 against the Rae/Q9/rats/marros build :P (happier to only play against it once.)

[Sir Heroscape]

CP and I starting now

[mtl1998]

I thought Heracles would be both a fun figure to bring as well as something that would counter popular figures like Nilf, Quahon, Q9, Grimnak, etc. While it was fun having Heracles in my army, the sheer number of rats made it a challenge to really enjoy all of what Heracles can do. This problem was magnified with my lack of special attacks.

I think there's a place for Heracles in a VCheese format, just not in the army I specifically brought. I could see Mimring and arrow gruts to replace krav/marros and rats to fit alongside Heracles. I could also see Q10 instead of krav/marros.
