• The Tournament team will remove one of your 3 armies based on playtesting unit need and to ensure equal playtest unit usage in the tournament. This will leave your other two armies to be a choice in all of your games. The removed army will not be used.
• Each Submission (not each army) is required to have at least 1 C3V playtesting unit (See Below for C3V playtesting Unit). You may have a playtesting unit (or more) in each of your 3 armies, but at a minimum you must have a playtesting unit in 1 of the armies.
• Each player will then bring 2 armies into a pool of 4 armies for each matchup
• Before each game, there will be a dice-off, done by the tournament organizers. The winner of the dice-off chooses first army choice or second army choice.
• Whoever has first army choice may choose any of the four armies (either of their two or either of their opponent's two, or defer the choice). The other player may then choose from any of the other three armies.
• The loser of the diceoff will then choose whether to place his army first or second.
• Rounds will last 2 weeks, after each round players are asked to leave feedback for each Playtesting unit in their game.
• 4 Rounds of play. Followed by playoffs for all those who finish with a record over .500
• **Tournament Organizer reserve the right to request participants use edited powers as the tournament progresses as the data suggests modifications. Participants may refuse the edits.

This is a C3V playtesting event, after each match we ask that you make a post or send a PM to the tournament organizer stating your thoughts on the playtested units from your game. We ask that they be in the following format

Re: 2022 C3V Playtest Tournament - Signups until 7/31

Signed Up.

Explorer faction doesn't look appealing ATM. While each unit's ability is neat on their own, as an army together I feel like they'll have difficulty fighting most archetypes.

I wish Nidhogg's ability was closer to Braxas/Nilfheim in target selection, instead of an Explosion effect. Perhaps it deals wounds instead of destruction like Braxas? I'd also wish it had a way to make Tomb Skeletons and Archers playable units. They are very weak and Nidhogg could be a thematic way to make them a strong unit. Having him still work the the Skeletons of Annelentia would be sweet too.

Kolbjorn looks interesting but I feel like it's missing something. Like Call of the Hunt should work on on himself/Tribesman too? That way there's more incentive to mix Tribesman/Hunters into the same army.

Patroller E-25 looks awesome, I just wish he had +1 defense to start. I'm having a hard time considering him overtop B-11s, but we'll see with playtesting.

Betacron: I think Patrol should just a generic power with end of round movement, possibly based on X OM reveal or the like.

Maekor: Not as interesting as Bambina (who's name sounds funny to me). He forces Bambina to be right next to him to get all the triggers going. Maekor is a unit forced to work with another unit to be functional at all, while Bambina looks like an interesting unit in a Greenscale list (which I'm going to test).

Knight of Light and I are just about to start our game. I'm playing cutters + Nidhogg while he has my 10th reg army.

EDIT: starting in 1 hour from now due to a scheduling/timezone mishap

 

[KnightOfLight]

Re: 2022 C3V Playtest Tournament - Round 1 until 8/15

Grey Waves and I just finished. I had his 10th, he had his cutters. Here is how it went down.

Round 1:
Grey Waves won init and the round was mainly posturing, I led 10th while he developed cutters. turn 3, I deployed one 10th to the furthest center 4 height snow to try and score some early damage on Niddhog. Skeletal form was cool, He blocked an attack of 3 (2/3 skulls) with 4/5 shields. I debated on shooting a cutter with another 10th, and ultimately deiced a kill was better than losing the init switch and an attack, but the 1/3 was blocked by the little gobo.

Round 2:
I did win the init switch and wait then fired at the bone dragon, but 1/4 was not quite enough to hurt the dragon. We traded casualties throughout this round, and the round ended with 16 cutters against 13 10th.

Round 3:
This round was strange. Grey Waves won initiative, and Betacron sprung into action hitting a 16 on his sentry mode power. This was only the beginning, as Betacron went on to hit 4/6 sentry mode shots this round which crippled Grey Wave's plays and ultimately led to his surrender by round's end. Sentry mode activating on both player's turns was huge as I could activate on his moment and scurry. My advantage grew as a 10th creeped to the right side of the board and landed a big 3/3 skulls into 1/5 shields on Niddhog.

Grey Waves surrendered with 7 cutters left, Marcu, and 2/7 Niddhog.
I had 9 10th, Betacron, and Marutuk.

GG Grey Waves that was fun!

Niddhog:
The big boney boy did not do a lot this game, but Skeletal form is a cool power on him. 5d (against range), 7l seems tanky but his offensive output in theory is lacking. Grey Wave's and I discussed how well a Niddhog lead could have gone, and the decision we came to was that his 4 range is the reason that would not have worked. The explosion is unique, but I would wager a different form of attack would be stronger. Not to copy Braxas is hard, so maybe even a 3 range double explosion like M.A.R.S. could buff him? just a thought. He might not need a buff, but in theoryscape land he could use a power increase I think.

Betacron:
I think this was one strange game for him. I would say he won me the game, so many of his sentry mode shots were super clutch. However, going 4/6 is really lucky. I like that the ability works on both normal moment and ability moment because anything that is good against rats is great in my book! There are not too many units affected by this so it is a cool thing that makes him more worth his point value in my opinion. As far as him fitting into the cron faction, I am on the fence about that. His movement power seems like it would be seldom, if ever used. Omegacron can already position him, so why would I need this power. I can think of too many scenarios were this power is not helpful. Maybe there is something I am missing, but as it stands right now in my eyes, this power is just taking up room on the card. A power that negatively affects soulborgs might fit better in the cron faction.

Thanks to everyone who has worked on, is working on, or will be working on C3V it is such a wonderful addition to Heroscape, and I know my friends and I will continue to play with these units regardless of how Heroscape 2.0 decides to implement or not implement the units they made. Seriously, y'all deserve a lot more credit and thanks!

Re: 2022 C3V Playtest Tournament - Round 1 until 8/15

Map: Freezer Burn

Army 1: Cathar Spearmen x3, Z'Thoth Mouth of the Abyss, Betacron, Nakita Agents, Bol
Army 2: Janos, C'Rik, San Tiim, Clayton Pierce, James Murphy, Kate Crawford, Louis ""Mad Dog"" Malone

Which units survived?
2 Cathar, Zthoth with 1 life remaining, Bol

I opened this game just slow rolling with the Cathar, while Blue Trails did a cautious advance of his army as well, using clayton and Janos each round. Malone and San Tiim were able to pick off a couple Cathar during their approach, but once they got within striking distance they focused Malone to make short work of the cowboy. James Murphy went down next, and by the third round the center of the map was a tangled mess of Cathar, cowboys, and Explorers. The Cathar were able to get some more wounds on several Blue Trails’ crew, but their numbers also started thinning following some strong C’Rik and Janos turns. Around this time I switched over to Zthoth, and BT got off a solid healing trance round (not sure exactly how many wounds healed, but probably around ~5 across all heroes).

However, once Zthoth joined the tussle he did good work, being able to mount the 4 height snow in the middle of the map where my last 2 cathar had also been holding their ground. From that vantage point he was able to finish off C’Rik, Kate, and San Tiim, while Janos disengaged to go start pinging the Nakitas still sleeping in my startzone.

With the explorers around Z’thoth in the middle dead, Z’thoth moved to the north to take out Clayton on his way to Zawit, picking up the +1 defense treasure glyph on his way there. Meanwhile, Janos had managed to kill all 3 Nakitas while I was playing it safe and mopping up the stragglers with Zthoth.

This put me in an interesting position at the start of a round where Zthoth was within one OM of Zawit, but nowhere near Janos. That meant that I was able to put two OMs on Betacron and the last on Zthoth. Betacron saw some action and rolled well, getting a skull on both attacks into Janos, but Janos rolled 2 shields both times to block and was able to kill the soulborg right after the 2nd OM. Not to worry, as Zthoth was in position to move onto Zawit and corner Janos next round.

During the diceoff for lava damage, Zthoth took his first wound, then teleported within striking distance of Janos. I won initiative, which let me engage Janos with Zthoth and do a wound. Janos disengaged and picked up the Giant Hunter glyph. During this round, Janos also rolled 4 skulls on his SA and Zthoth whiffed his 6D defense roll, which suddenly put Zthoth with a single life remaining and Janos with 2L remaining. Zthoth’s defense held after that however, and he was able to finish off the Explorer’s brave leader over the course of the next few turns.

How useful were playtesting units' powers and how often did they come into play?

Sentry Mode: 0/3 (2 triggered by Zthoth; once by Janos movement)

Any additional comments (theme, balance, fun factor with and against)?

I like how Betacron played here. Given the long range of my opponent’s army, I decided early on that he wasn’t worth developing in the early game. However, I still did manage to get 3 attempts at sentry mode in on Janos, with two of them being triggered by Zthoth’s Maddening Visage which seems like a very powerful combo, especially vs melee armies.

General Battle Report/Flow of game (be as detailed or general as you like)

Spoiler Alert!

My opening consisted of a steady push toward the center of the map with the majority of my army while sneaking Kate around the nearby 3- & 1-hex glacier cluster in case I wanted to grab Ulaniva; I mostly activate Explorers while relying on Clayton's regular movement from Sheriff's Posse to develop the rest of my pieces. In turn, Captain Stupendous slowly developed a Cathar presence at the base of the heights, using the nearby glacier as cover. He loses some Cathars to Expeditions, Shootouts, and stray shots but smartly restricts my plan of firing Murphy's Shotgun into the cluster of Nakitas and Z'Thoth in his start zone, then quickly destroys Mad Dog and Murphy while wounding my Explorers and Clayton.

Cap pivots to Z'Thoth as the Explorers begin to clear out the mess of Spearmen and fragile Heroes into which their perch has degenerated. San Tiim's Healing Trance allows me to take more risks, disengaging with Janos to deny height-boosted attack opportunities to the remaining Cathars and rushing C'Rik into a Braced Spear with impunity. Clayton and Kate also enjoy the effects of San's Trance while firing on a Cathar and a Nakita; I've kept Kate on lava field height so far because I've been confident in San's ability to erase any wounds incurred. Once Z'Thoth reaches the hill, it massacres my remaining figures, destroying C'Rik and wounding my other figures while bouncing them between a pair of Spearmen.

At this point I decide that my best option is a Janos / Clayton endgame. Using Kate and San as fodder to keep Z'Thoth from attacking Clayton, I run Janos to Captain Stupendous' start zone and begin firing on Nakitas, dodging 2 LEA's and Betacron's Sentry Fire in the process. Z'Thoth squashes Tiim and cleans up the remaining Lawmen while Janos destroys all three Agents, two of which unsuccessfully attack him. I give Clayton an Order Marker during this period, hoping to use Zawit to evade Z'Thoth and form a defensible postition with Janos, but the sheriff is destroyed before I can attempt this plan. Janos and Betacron then trade shots, with the Explore emerging victorious and unharmed.

The final stage of the game consists of Z'Thoth teleporting next to Janos and engaging in prolonged combat. I risk a LEA to grab a Treasure Glyph that turns out to be the Giant Hunter Stone, which swings the odds in my favor when combined with a lucky 4-wound shot from Janos's Tracking Fire. Ultimately, though, the Outsider prevails, leaving Captain Stupendous with a well-earned victory.

How useful were playtesting units' powers and how often did they come into play?
Janos:

Spoiler Alert!

TRACKING FIRE SPECIAL ATTACK: used fourteen times; destroyed 1 Cathars and all Nikitas, and dealt 4 wounds to Z'Thoth.

EXPEDITION: used five times; see C'Rik's and San Tiim's sections for more details.

C'Rik:

Spoiler Alert!

HOLOGRAPHIC PROJECTOR: attempted four times; protected C'Rik and San Tiim each from a Cathar attack.

QUAARN ASSAULT: see normal attack section below.

PHANTOM WALK: avoided various LEA's.

Normal Attack: used five times via Quaarn Assault; destroyed three Cathars.

San Tiim:

Spoiler Alert!

TELEPATHIC COORDINATION: moved Janos once.

HEALING TRANCE: used once; removed 2 wounds from C'Rik, 2 wounds from Clayton, 1 wound from Kate, and 1 wound from Janos.

Any additional comments (theme, balance, fun factor with and against)?
Janos:

Spoiler Alert!

The head Explorer never disappoints in my tests.

C'Rik:

Spoiler Alert!

San Tiim:

Spoiler Alert!

Tiim made a good first impression on me. Telepathic Communications was useful in the early game because I could move Janos while saving Expedition for a later turn, during which Janos could attack. Moreover, Healing Trance removed a substantial amount of wounds from my army and allowed me to temporarily ignore the ramifications of the Cathars' Braced Spear on C'Rik's survival. After expending Trance, San Tiim saw use as an impromptu blocker/sacrifice to prevent Z'Thoth from destroying Clayton, whom I believed I could use more effectively.

As an aside, I should mention that the unit is called "Sam Tiim" in Telepathic Communications' description.

Betacron:

Spoiler Alert!

Betacron has potential in this army despite its lack of results this game. A 5-space Engagement Strike aura is terrific for covering chokepoints, protecting cheerleaders, and guarding Glyphs, and units like Z'Thoth can extract further offensive utility from Sentry Fire. It seems significantly better against Heroes than squads, though.

Strictly as a non sequitur, can I convince anyone to rename the unit "Alphacron"? The sculpt has alpha-shaped markings on its hands.
