1. moving the rats up for 1 OM to extend the line would have been advantageous for just how far I could shoot into the map and still retreat, OR stay in my same spot but move that 1 rat Dysole mentioned that was on the bottom of my SZ and not doing anything. That would have allowed Laglor to shoot 1 hex farther and really forced Boromir into an uncomforatble position even more so. 2. I played really "safe", but for those who know me, I take the big plays. I decided to go against my nature and retreat Laglor when I started threatening alastair from the center when I moved up to the top...but I think I needed to realize that I needed the snipe and the pressure on Alastair to win this one. I had the pressure, and by retreating I basically allowed Boromir to continue doing his thing. moving up and killing those 2 Dirks on the high platform would have been the right call I think at that stage of the game because he wouldn't have had any answer for me and LAglor coulda gone to town from that position.

Re: 10 Points Under - Heroscape Casting Videos
We have the next installment (well, technically round 1) of the Heroes Only tournament from Online Con! In this game we get to see a couple of new players to the channel:
@IntingWolvesOBMain
who hails from Australia and
@Jazack
who is one of my fellow Utah 'Scapers! The matchup is two classic hero-only armies, with Kurrok and Fire Elementals taking on the Elf wizard army! Joining me for this game is YouTube sensation
@TalesOfValhallaOfficial
, and we have a great time watching the action unfurl in this hot game! (Get it? Because Fire Elementals are hot? Oh, you did get it? Okay, just wanted to make sure.)

Re: 10 Points Under - Heroscape Casting Videos
Huh this is cool, thanks for putting this up BiggaBullFrog!
Although, you couldn't have chosen a game I won coulda ya? Now I've lost every reposted game I'm in! ;P This was actually my first time playing kurrok, fire elementals or Moltenclaw (the only unit I'd played was Eldgrim lol). So at the time I was lamenting Moltenclaws claws falling off when he attacked Ullganesh but in hindsight I'd do a lot differently. Firstly, lead with the fire elementals. I didn't need to sprint to Lodin because the elves couldnt really hold glyphs anyway and I didn't get any huge value out of it immediately, I could have just got it a bit more slowly as I developed the fire elementals. But developing and spreading them prevents the crippling start zone bomb from Jorhdawn and they'd probably just do more damage than MC (though I didn't realise this until halfway through the game when I finally brought them out). That leaves Moltenclaw as a cleanup unit, which I don't think is necessarily his strength. At the end of the game he doesn't get much value from his burning breath special attack because there's less things on the board so probably very few times when they are lined up for bim. So he is basically a 6 life 5/1/5/3 for 170 points, in which case there are better options, probably KA and more fire eles would have been better for instance. But as a side note I did love how thematic he was with fire eles given he is lava resistant. Twas a fun game and awesome event though, keen to play in more when the time zones line up nicely. -IntingWolves (I don't blame you for messing the name, its a mouthful and a half, if changing it was an option I would cut it in half lol, so I shall subtly try and do that by signing off as a shortened version) Last edited by PouncingWolves; October 21st, 2020 at 07:16 PM. |

Re: 10 Points Under - Heroscape Casting Videos
Thank you for commenting on the game and putting it up. It was quite interesting to see your thoughts on it, and IntingWolves did really well with that army.
As for not putting Acolarh on a shadow instead of on the high ground (since you commented that it was interesting that I did that), my reasoning was that it would take heat off of Ulginesh by forcing IntingWolves to decide between burning one or the other (and putting Jorhdawn in the line helped with that, she still had 6 lives, and so could take the beating). If I put him on the high ground, I would be putting more heat on Ulginesh, which could potentially destroy the entire army (with elves, once Ulginesh falls, all the wizards begin to fall). TL : DR putting Acolarh on the shadow created bait to keep Motenclaw from attacking Ulginesh |

Re: 10 Points Under - Heroscape Casting Videos
In round 4 of day 1 of the Online Con Chamionship,
@coachmuskie
and
@Cleon
meet in a reversed whip round to face off! They get to play the army that their opponent brought in this sweet Reverse-the-Whip game featuring a mini-steamroller against skele-dogs and a big troll. Joining me in the virtual commentator booth for the first time is
@Rama
, a newer player to the online scene but a long time Heroscaper! We have a great time discussing gameplay and decisions in this exciting tournament game!
Also, I'm going to plug the 10 Points Under Co-Cast Super Scheduling Spreadsheet again. I'm close to finishing up Online Con, but still have some videos to cast, and then have some videos from OHS 37 and the NHSD event as well. So there's still a good amount of backlog I'm working with which means that if you're interested in casting a game with me I've got a wide selection to work with! Monthly Utah Tournaments in SLC!!

- Position my FEs and Kurrok in the startzone such that Jorhdawn wouldn't be able to target more than two at a time, and probably put the first OM of the game on Kurrok (as opposed to Eldgrim) in order to spread the FEs out even more. Those Jorhdawn hits that targeted three elementals at a time were quite painful, and if you spread them out instead then the shots probably go at Moltenclaw instead. - Continue to prioritize hitting as many wizards as possible with Burning Breath as opposed to going for Ulginesh. While an Ulginesh assassination would pretty much end the game, the odds of pulling it off are not great. I'd err towards just playing the numbers game and trying to get as many wounds as is possible. If Moltenclaw puts a large enough dent on the wizards, then the elementals should be able to mop them up. |

Re: 10 Points Under - Heroscape Casting Videos
It's Finals time! But the good kind -- not those yucky college ones. The subject of this final is Heroscape, and the ones taking it are
@kevindola
and
@dok
! They're practicing practical application of pod drafting, and in this school, only one of them get to pass. Examiner
@Rama
joins me to observe this final and see how our test takers fare with the assortment of dragons, robo-rats, monks, spiders, and giant grub-eating man thingies on the board. And this late night extended metaphor has definitely run its course, so enjoy the game!

Re: 10 Points Under - Heroscape Casting Videos
Great final, and great commentary. Keep up the great work! Another great example of how these players give themselves the greatest chance to win and see, like Kev said, what winning looks like.
