Scenarios:

1. Standard HS tournament scenario.
-Destroy all of your opponent's figures. Standard HS Scoring will be used if time runs out.

2. There Can Be Only One!
-Each player has a Supreme Leader that they must protect. First player to destroy the opponent's Supreme Leader wins. Players will be provided with a Supreme Leader figure and card for this scenario.
-Supreme Leader Card:


3. Heat of Battle.
-There are no starting zones; players will take turns placing one card's worth of units anywhere on the battlefield except on glyphs until all figures are placed. Destroy all of your opponent's figures. Standard HS Scoring will be used if time runs out.

4. Capture the Flag.
-Each player will have a Brandar Glyph to defend just outside of their start zone, and can win by ending a turn with one of their figures un-engaged and on the opponent's Glyph. Player's can move their figures onto their own glyph to defend it.

5. Escape!
-Players are to trying exit as many of their figures off of the opponent's starting zone as possible. It takes 1 Move to exit from an outside space located in the Opponent's starting zone. Victory Points are based on full cards of figures exited off the board and full cards of destroyed enemy figures. The game ends when either the time runs out or when one player has no figures remaining on the board. The player with the highest Victory Points at the end of the game wins.

Wow! This is looking to be the best game day we've had so far! You can can't me and (probably) Mrs. TexMex in, too! And I think I speak for everyone, in advance, in thanking you, Newb, for organizing all of this for us!

[pinche_guey]

Sweet idea Lil'newbie! Only God can keep me away this time. Picking an army will have so much more dimension now. My friend has already said he will probably come, but I will let you all know.

[LilNewbie]

Thanks for the comments and hope everyone can make it!

I'll have a flyer with the above details and a sign up sheet at the store (The IQ) for those who don't check HSers.com very often.

I know you just posted it, but I'm already excited and thinking about armies. What will the snow and ice be? I noticed lava is missing, but that's my least favorite anyway.

WOO HOO! My first tourney. See you all there.

I should have noted the Snow/Ice specs originally and now that is corrected. Thanks!

Will we be using the two starting zones away from the rest on the map Common Ground?

[LilNewbie]

Sure. Unless the specific scenario doesn't have starting zones like Heat of Battle. We could disallow those starting zones to act as exit areas during the Escape! scenario too. What does everyone think?

[pinche_guey]

Sounds good. Turns out my friend will not be able to attend, but I will be there.
