Half-Army Cut The Cake
  • Each player submits three 325-point half-armies. A maximum of 8 figures may be placed from each half-army. The half-armies may not share any figures. (VC is allowed, no Marvel. Minimum of 200 points and maximum of 11 figures in each half-army. Airborne and Rechets count against placed figure total if included in the army. Executioner 616, Kon-Tar-Na, and Viceron the Blood Knight are legal for this event.)
  • Before each game, there will be a dice-off, done by the tournament organizers. The winner of the dice-off chooses to either construct two armies out of the six half-armies, or select armies after construction.
  • The player who constructs armies will pick two of the half armies for one army, and two of the other four half armies for the other army. Then the other player will choose which of the constructed armies to play with.
  • The player who lost the dice-off decides who places first or second.

Re: OHS Season 29 - Half-Army Cut the Cake

Two questions. 1. Are the Heroes of Crumland (Heracles, Hrognak, Patrick Ferguson, Pel the Hill Giant) available? I don't see them in the sign up form. 2. The first bullet point says that the maximum number of figures is 8 and then later says 11. Which one is it?
 
Re: OHS Season 29 - Half-Army Cut the Cake

Maximum of 8 placeable figures, but only 11 can be contained in your army anyways. So 3x 4th Mass is not legal to even submit.

They're legal; we'll fix that.

vegie correctly answered the other question. It's an 8 figure max per pod.

Form is updated with the latest units.
 
Re: OHS Season 29 - Half-Army Cut the Cake

Just a FYI.

The person placing the army, decides what units to drop.

So let's say you choose the army that has a pod of 2xRomans, MBS, Marcus. You are deciding what 2 figures to drop when placing. Not the person who is constructing the full armies from the pods.
 
Re: OHS Season 29 - Half-Army Cut the Cake

I'm submitted. It appears that Viceron the Blood Knight is incorrectly marked as 140 points. He is only 130.

Fixed, thanks.
 
Re: OHS Season 29 - Half-Army Cut the Cake

Sign-ups have been extended through the 15th; get those submissions in!
 
Soon

We're experiencing some technical difficulties, but the first round should be up within the next 24 hours. Most people should've received something in their email. We'll get everything taken care of soon.

Re: OHS Season 29 - Half-Army Cut the Cake

I got the win. I charged my trolls and arrow gruts across the board securing both glyphs along the way while Mega split OMs setting up.

My first Ice troll was able to jump into things putting hits on Racheim and the Ice Elemental while Arrow Gruts controlled the middle sniping wounds every once in a while.

Racheim killed the first Ice Troll around an initiative switch, but the 2nd one was able to get into the match while I only had lost a few arrow gruts.

The 2nd troll finished off the Ice Elemental and Racheim, and won a slugfest with Ashi-Dhulu (although an Arrow Grut put on the final hit)

Mega surrendered after Ashi went down.

Fun match though using these mix of units. Looking forward to the next rounds.

Match is scheduled for now.

[EDIT] I got rolled right over. The minions came out to face my Gorillitroopers and the big apes held up well at first. They picked off two minions and were holding steady when I lost one. Ashi-Dhulu chewed on a minion after the first trooper fell but then the remaining minions struck and killed all three of my troopers in one turn and my order markers with them. They then proceeded to take down Ashi-Dhulu and Laglor and swiftly killed Asterios and Prince al'Kahora without either managing to score a hit. Isamu then died on their first attack.

Good game, Soundwarp-SG1, and good luck for the rest of the tournament.

Happening now.

~Dysole, informationally

EDIT: Weird game. After Beorn upgraded 7K, Hops moved out and a pair of Hops fell early but 7K and the remaining Hop did just dandy including killing 8K and all the Stalkers (7K losing his upgrade on the first shot from Deathcommander). The Blasts came out and Zettians killed two glads and a blast but one of them also fell (and put one weird wound on Deathcommander). 7K killed another Blast and then I moved to MacDirks. Alastair managed to mow down the second to last blast . Deathcommander survived several attacks and his special was mowing down MacDirks who had managed to one shot Executioner (she did nothing this game). He managed to kill a 3 life Alastair in one shot and then immediately fell the next turn to a 2 attack MacDirk. After the glads killed the last Zettian (with me quipping that "2 attack is clearly the bane of high defense figures), Beorn wandered out and when he finally caught up with the Glads they were with the other MacDirks (and the Glads had killed the MacDirk on Gerda). The Glads fell to a MacDirk shot and then Beorn. I'm really digging my weird synergy.

Re: OHS Season 29 - Half-Army Cut the Cake

dok and I played a long game. He had my Mohicans and his Nagrubs, and I had his Wyrmlings and his Ninjas. I opened with Wyrmlings and Ashi-Dhulu and he opened with Kon-Tar-Na and Nagrubs. I switched to Ninjas and Kantono to try to send attacks of 4 into Kon-Tar-Na, and that worked well. Kon-Tar-Na struggled to get kills, which prevented him from getting his second attacks, and Kantono was able to sit on the defense glyph. I cleared out Kon-Tar-Na with the Ninjas and then the battle switched to two fronts. Ashi-Dhulu climbed to the sandy hill outside of dok's startzone and ate some Mohicans, and Moriko went on a tear killing a few Wyrmlings and Kantono thanks to a poor reading of Kantono Daishi's card. Ashi tried to duel Prince Alkahora and only got two wounds before dying, while Shiori finished Moriko. The battle switched to one front again, with Garrett Burns and the Prince vs. Black & White Wyrmling, Shiori, Otonashi, and Isamu. There was a lot of order marker confusion and a lot of futile attacks but eventually I took out Garrett Burns and knocked off order markers to get time to kill the Prince. Good game dok

Dr. Goomonkey vs. vegietarian18 starting now

Dr. G was able to get the win. His Ebon didn't do much, dying to a volley of Mohican attacks, but the Tagawa came afterward and did a ton of work. The Mohicans just couldn't get kills and the Tagawa quickly charged up on them, then hit Jotun for 5 wounds. I never really recovered from that, with the Izumi grinding their way through my single attackers.

Re: OHS Season 29 - Half-Army Cut the Cake

Moc is strong.

Just finished up with MegaSilver. I played Alastair, McDirksx2, Moc, Dwarves ; MegaSilver played Gilbert, Knightsx2, Grimnak, Heavy Grutsx2.

Opening few rounds were lots of positioning - all of us with only melee attacks on this map, that took a while. MegaSilver kept splitting his OMs, moving the heavies to the north high ground and the knights to the south high ground. I put some gunners on Moc, then moved the McDirks on the road between the north and south high ground, wounding Alastair each of the first 2 rounds.

I won initiative round 3, and MegaSilver had split his OMs again (2 and 2), so I moved south. Alastair killed the 2 knights on height, so the McDirks managed to steal the knights highest ground and put a pounding on the knights. The McDirks ended up doing quite a bit of damage. Despite both of the first 2 OMs being on the knights, the McDirks did quite a bit of damage.

I opened round 4 with my last McDirk OM, as Alastair and the last 2 McDirks made their last stand. All in all, they took out 7 knights, Gilbert, 2 gruts, and put a wound on Grimnak.

I moved to Moc for the rest of round 4, and he and his gunners put on a show, killing Grimnak and several heavies while only taking 2 or so wounds.

Round 5, Moc moved for the high ground and finished off the last gruts.

Round 6, a very brave knight charged up the northern hill at Moc. He managed to put a wound on Moc, and then survive Moc's great axe and a near-sighted gunner, but the knight missed on his second attack. Moc then cleaved him in half to end the game.

If Alastair hadn't managed to kill both knights to get the high ground in round 3, the game might have gone very differently.

Good game MegaSilver!
