OHS Season 52: Draft - CONGRATS CHRIS PERKINS

Re: OHS Season 52: Draft - ROUND 1
I beat Earthling in a super strange game. The matchup was:
vegie: Marro Warriors, Axegrinders x2, Beorn, Crypt Guardian x2, Drow Chainfighter x3
Earthling: Nhah Scirh x2, Q10, Kaemon, Marcu
I opened Axegrinders, while Earthling opened Q10. I was really cautious about not overextending the Dwarves into sleeping Nhah Scirh, so Q10 landed a couple long ranged pings. Round 2 both of us switched plans. Earthling deployed Kaemon, and I deployed Marros expecting the Kaemon switch and wanting to soften him up a little. The Marros had one turn where they took four shots into Kaemon and all failed. Kaemon then killed a couple on the return. Feeling a little down, with my OM3 I staged an aggressive push with my Dwarves towards Q10. Earthling had a great Cultist OM to respond, which cut the legs out of the Dwarves and put me on the backfoot. The next round was Cultists trading with Dwarves, with Cultists coming out narrowly on top especially once they stole a Dwarf OM. Earthling had a commanding lead, with Q10 and Kaemon unwounded as well as a few Cultists. I had 2-life Beorn, the Crypt Guardians and the Chainfighters, who are pretty miserable into special attacks. I was debating conceding but felt bad with so much on the board so I kept playing.
One Chainfighter was my slightly unreasonable hero. He blocked two 4v4s from Kaemon, and then turned around and instantly one-shot him with a 4 skull roll met with 0 zero shields. That same chainfighter then gradually crossed the entire board, and got next to Q10 for another 4 skull roll that was met with 1 shield, with Beorn finishing off Q10 for the kill the following turn. The one Crypt Guardian left was more than enough to clean up remaining Cultists and Marcu.
Good game Earthling.

Re: OHS Season 52: Draft - ROUND 1
I would say Chris Perkins just became my nemesis, but in reality he is far too nice.
Had a fun game against him. I didn't do much in the way of making the correct decisions and missed a couple of crucial details, but hey. It will just make our inevitable finals match much sweeter.
GGs Chris, and thank you again for being understanding with scheduling.

Re: OHS Season 52: Draft - ROUND 1
Just finished up with Arrow Grut.
Draft: (Arrow Grut chose to pick first)
Round 1:
AG wins init and sent Eldgrim to wanok. I sent out rats to clog all the openings to prevent Greys from hitting my SZ. AG moved up TKN. I moved up GWs & Molty, who killed Eldgrim with a 3/4 (spirit to TKN). AG moved up the air elemental. Molty moved up and killed the Air Elem + 1 Vark with a 3/4 while GWs took Wanok and other central spots. Wanok kills a Brute Grut. I made a big mistake with my placement, as if Molty had been in the front of my SZ instead of 1 space back, I would have been in range to hit AGs SZ here, which would have been 2 Brutes + 3 Greys, and the 3/4 would likely have killed all 5 and basically ended the game.
Round 2:
AG wins init and Greys kill 1 GW. Molty sends a 1/4 SA into 2 greys and they both block while both GWs attacks miss. TKN moves up and kills 1 GW. Molty retreats and sends another 1/4 SA into the same 2 Greys, killing 1, and my last GW charges AGs SZ, engaging a Brute but failing to kill it. TKN stomps a rat on his way to my SZ and kills a Swift. I have my OM3 on Swift though, Arktos takes height and hits TKN with a 4/5. Swift engage TKN and do a few more wounds to put 4 total on TKN.
Round 3:
I win init. Arktos whifs the 0/5 on TKN but the 3 Swift all get height and kill TKN with 3 attacks of 5v5. AG had all 3 OMs on TKN and concedes.
GG Arrow Grut!
Enjoying the format so far; the games & OM management play a lot more like RtW than standard games, which I enjoy from an OM management standpoint.

Bert25 and I are playing our match now.
It's Over
Finished with TD.
Once he grabbed Asterios, I figured I needed to grab Stingers x2 in case he let me grab Stingers x4. He countered with Stingers x2 and so I set us up for the Mezzo split. Now with first pick of heroes I strongly considered Max and Swaysil but that would leave him with enough to grab Caucus and Marcu. Marcu could be a game changer on this map with both Wannok and giving me another hero against Asterios. I couldn't grab both and grab Max on the upswing so I grabbed Marcu and Swaysil to give me tech against Mezzos/Asterios. He finished up with Caucus x1 and I grabbed Quorik as I didn't like her with all the range running around but her SA and 4 base attack could be very useful against Asterios.
Game started with me going all Stingers while TD went all Asterios. I managed to put 2 wounds on him but also sniped a Stinger in the start zone while he killed 2 of my Stingers. One of his Caucus fell to Wannok.
Round 2 I snagged another startzone Stinger before my forward Stingers died to Mezzo fire. Quorik came up and managed to kill 3 Mezzos over the next round and change before she took 5 wounds from Stingers. I disengaged to hit Asterios with a 4 dice attack only to die from the LEA.
Asterios headed into the start zone and managed to kill 2 Mezzos but the other two escaped failing to kill him on their exit. I did manage to use Mezzos to take down 2 Stingers dropping him below a full squad. My next two OMs were on Swaysil and Asterios dropped in and hit her for a wound. She disengaged and managed to put 3 wounds on him. Stuck next to Marcu he put a wound before falling to Swaysil.
Swaysil bounced around the board getting 2 shots at Run Down but failing to get it. She did kill a Stinger only to get Stinger Drained down to 1 life. Rather than risk the LEA to hit the Mezzo with Run Down, I opted to try for the start zone Caucus and failed to get it but killed him with my normal attack. Stinger finished off Swaysil only to fall to one of my Mezzos while the other claimed Wannok. His last Mezzo managed to knock an exo off but Wannok claimed him.
Good game TD
~Dysole, noting that the moral of the game is sequencing your threats is good and key init wins will cover a multitude of bad defense dice rolls

I felt pretty good about the draft. First pick was ideal here since you could grab 3/5 of Swift, Grey, Arktos, Molty, and Brutes. Given that Swift and Arktos was bad for me I grabbed the two standalones and then followed it up with Caucus as the best remaining squad against the Varks. I thought I had enough left to grab Rats and Scales but Guilty was a nice compromise.
I opened with 2 OMs on Guilty and 1 on Caucus. I thought he would lead Gnids so as to set up a screen for the Varks but he led Varks and they basically wiped their way through my army with very little effort. I think I killed like one Greyspear. Maybe I should have led Caucus like I was thinking but even if I had, I think it might have only delayed the inevitable with how things played out. My dice weren't particularly bad but Chris having 57% defense dice when I needed to kill as many Varks as possible did me no favors. Molty dying in basically 4 attacks was also very painful.
Good game Chris and good luck going forward.

Re: OHS Season 52: Draft - ROUND 2
Just finished up with vegie who knocked me out of a potential playoff spot. I had Krav Kaemon 2x PKs and some filler and he had MWs, Dwarves x2, Beorn, Q10, and 2x Black Wyrmlings.
I opened up with Krav because I wanted to kite dwarves. The plan worked great since I was able to get off 12 attacks before he got his first attack; unfortunately they only killed one dwarf in the process and I lost a Krav and a PK. I switched to PKs who went off, killing everything on the board except for 1 dwarf, Q10, and the two black wyrmlings. With only 1 PK left I switched to Kaemon, who was abruptly 1-shot from height by a full health Q10, and I lost all 3 OMs on him. Marcu was not enough to take down Q10, especially with a betrayal at the end. I don't think I made any mistakes; the dice do be like that. I've been on the other end of the impossible one shots, so I can't complain. Gg vegie.

Re: OHS Season 52: Draft - ROUND 2
I beat Ryguy in our 4th of July morning game.
Really interesting matchup of counterpieces. I had to drop Q10 in a level 0 hole because I drafted him late, so I spent OM1 climbing him to level 2 and then developed Dwarves. Ryguy went straight Krav. Krav were cold on attacks against Dwarves. In round 2 I finally caught and killed one Krav, but the other two escaped behind startzone Rats. My Axegrinders pushed into the startzone, but were stopped in their tracks by a Phantom Knight counterattack.
The Phantoms laid into the Dwarves using their speed advantage for first strike. Q10 slowly but steadily churned through Phantoms. The Phantoms later pushed into my startzone and slaughtered all the Marro Warriors, but Q10 got through the Phantoms in time to save the Black Wyrmlings. Q10 and two Wyrmlings was all I had left, against Kaemon, 2 Krav, 1 Black Wyrmling, Marcu, and 1x Rats.
With one sleeping Phantom remaining, Q10 disengaged and launched a 5v4 eight range shot on Kaemon. He rolled 5 skulls to instantly kill Kaemon and knock off an entire round of OMs. That was basically the game. Marcu made it a fight, getting two wounds on Q10, but eventually he hit hatred to slaughter his own Black Wyrmling and end up in a hole and die.
Good game Ryguy.

Re: Onward
I used the highly OP "take first available alphabetically" stratrgy:
I led Braxas and gassed 2 Microcorp on my first turn (only ones in range) and 3 on my second turn. Foudzing jumped in with PKs on turn 3, but they were all blocked and then immediately gassed. He moved Drake up on turn 1 of the second round, but Braxas just gassed a Microcorp and then hit the 17 to end the game. Braxas went a cool 10/10 on acid breath, including the 17 on Drake.

Re: OHS Season 52: Draft - ROUND 2
Just finished an unusual game with Foudzing. I drafted Marcu, 2x Wyrmlings, 1x Wyrmling and Siiv, Heracles and 1x Microcorp and he drafted 2x PKs, Krav and Sgt. Drake, and Kira Jax in that order. I rolled 15 skulls out of 27 attack dice that game; almost all of my damage came from the d20.
He opened Krav and I opened Black Wyrmlings. I tried to position them out of sight but it was difficult on the map. The Krav killed two wyrmlings and a microcorp and only lost one Krav (one survived a lava roll). I switched to Heracles while Foudzing continued with the Krav. Heracles took no damage from the two 4v4s only for him to take 5 combined damage from a 3v4 and a 3v5 then next turn when I labored him up to high ground, missing the throw. I killed a Krav and then blocked a 3/3 from Kira Jax only to maneuver him closer. With Heracles at 3 lives and everything on the board for Foudzing except two Krav it looked pretty bad, but it really swung back the next round. Foudzing won init and moved the last Krav to Dagmar, putting 3 wounds on Marcu in my SZ.
Then it was Heracles' game. He swung down to Kira and one-shot her, then labored over to Drake and hit the key throw to toss him into molten lava. Those were Foudzing's 2 and 3, so Heracles had time to kill two more PKs and stay out of the others' range. The next two rounds were super positional, and I basically sacrificed everything else in my start zone in order to keep Heracles in a good position away from the last 4 PK swarm. The game changed again for me when I picked up the Amulet of Searing Intensity, which is how I killed 3 of the last 4 PKs and the last Krav to seal the game. Super weird game that basically came down to my hot d20 rolls vs Foudzing's hot attack dice, but a fun one nonetheless.

Game Over
After vegie led MWs and I went PKs, I expected him to snag Dwarves x2. When he grabbed Kaemon and Max I realized he did not have enough points to grab Q10 but did have enough points to grab Dwarves x2 which was very good into Q10 so I grabbed Dwarves x2 and then knew I would grab Q10 and Marcu to finish out unless he grabbed Marcu. It played out like so.
He opened with Max and Beorn while I opened all Q10. Q10 managed to one shot Kaemon in the start zone and grab the glyph of Searing Intensity. Max and Q played a bit of a dance but Q managed to walk away with only one life down coming from lava. MWs came up and they died to a combination of Wrist Rocket and an OM3 on PKs when I was worried about Max pummeling Q10. I finished off the MWs with the only searing intensity I got and then killed the last one with Wrist Rocket.
I managed to put two wounds on Beorn and he put one wound on Q10. I stupidly put Q10 in a place where Beorn could get height but thankfully he whiffed. I then decided to go Machine Pistol (to hit rats after I killed Beorn) but ended up not being able to finish him off and the rats managed to sneak through 2 hits to kill Q10.
What followed was me using squad figures to try and kill rats while vegie tried to poke holes with them and Beorn grabbing the amulet and doing some damage. After Beorn disengaged to attempt a searing intensity of three dwarves and died to the LEA, vegie surrendered with 2 rats left against 7 dwarves, 3 PKs, and Marcu.
Good game.

Re: Here We Go
This game was a continuation of ryguy's "Heracles is good on this map" story. After a couple early OMs on Dividers, I went in on Heracles and he took down most of the TSAs without taking a scratch, although they did pick off a few of my Dividers. OG-Blaha switched to his Dividers, which hit more divides than mine but still didn't do much to Heracles. Heracles was at 3 wounds with most of the commons dealt with when the Krav moved in and managed a couple quick wounds. Heracles chased one down Krav and chucked it into lava, but then a shocking counterstrike on a 7v3 attack on a TSA combined with a 3/3 attack up on Heracles led to a dead Heracles with 2 and X still on him.
By this time my Dividers were mostly gone (they managed to kill a total of negative one divider). However the Sentinels of Grax managed quite ably in cleanup this game. While one of them got counterstruck on a 5v3, they hit their restitution roll both times they needed it, and chased down the last two Krav, Kate, and the final samurai to finish the game.

Re: Here We Go
Played part 2 of this one tonight (had started yesterday, when the site temporarily went down and forced us to postpone).
Draft:
When Vegie Dad took MWs, I figured I had 2 ideal draft options: (1) Varks + Brutes, (2) Grey/Arktos + Nilf/MWs. Either way, I was pretty sure I wanted Grey+Arktos, as it's good into Knights & Nilf and I really didn't want Arktos spirit to end up on MWs. So I took Grey/Arktos. Vegie Dad then essentially declared the intent to fill up on Knights+Heroes. I then decided I wanted to go the Brute route to counter Knights, but I wanted the filler to be Eldgrim + Knights x1. I took Eldgrim first to block him from Vegie Dad, and Swiftfang because I was certainly going with them at this point. Vegie Dad took more knights. I finished my draft with Brutes + Knights, and Vegie Dad took more Knights.
Round 1. I opened Knights/Grey/Grey, sent Eldgrim to Dagmar and set up a Knight screen in front of my SZ, then developed all my Varks, while Vegie Dad developed Knights + Heroes up onto the road. Vegie Dad killed Eldgrim to end the round, who went on Grey (thought it never ended up mattering).
Round 2. I went Swift/Grey/Grey and Vegie Dad was all Knights. Knights came in first with Finn, but failed to wound Arktos. Swift then went nuts, killing Finn + 2 Knights. Knights got some payback and killed 2 Swift. Grey moved in and killed more Knights. Knights killed 1 more Swift. Grey killed more Knights while the last Swift moved to Dagmar.
Round 3. I went Grey/Grey/Grey and Vegie Dad went MW/Knights/MW. My goal at this point was to eliminate MWs at all costs, as Brutes are great into Knights but lost pretty hard to MWs in the endgame. I win init, kill a few Knights but miss the shot on a MW. Vegie Dad then sends MWs up (with Finn spirit) and they kill 2 Grey. Grey+Arktos move in and kill 3 MWs. Knights then tie down my Varks but don't kill anything. Arktos takes 3 LEAs to hit the last MW, but all 3 LEAs hit and Arktos misses the 5v3 while Varks kill 2 more Knights. The last MW runs to the SZ water and clones. I lose 1 Grey + 1 Arktos life to Lava.
Round 4. I go Grey/Arktos/Brutes and Vegie Dad goes Knights/MW/Knights. I win init (still with Dagmar) and Arktos kills 1 MW while the Grey fails to kill a Knight. Knights kill the Grey. Arktos manages to engage the last MW, but fails to kill it from a 5v3. Knights then engage Arktos but fail to kill him but kill the Swift on Dagmar. I roll up Brutes onto height.
Round 5. I go Arktos/Brute/Brute and Vegie Dad goes MW/Knights/MW. I lose init and the MW clones. Arktos then kills 1 MW. Knights finally finish Arktos, whose spirit can find no home and must wander the field for all eternity. Brutes roll up further. The last MW clones. Brutes take Dagmar and advance on Vegie Dad SZ.
Round 6. I go Brute/Brute/Brute and Vegie Dad goes Knights/MW/?. I win init (thanks to Dagmar) and get 2 Brutes next to MWs & 2 next to Knights/Thorgrim. The Brutes kill the MWs and 2 Knights, using a berserk marker. Knights kill 1 Brute. The Brutes then finish off the last Knight + Thorgrim to end it.
GG Vegie Dad, super close one with lots of massive init rolls.

Re: Last Round
I opened Kaemon Awa. It looked promising when he had killed 4 Axegrinders without facing an attack and was on a nice perch, but he died to the first four swings up he faced without counterstriking any of them. His samurai brethren picked up the slack, though, taking down the rest of the dwarves and even pinging down a Red Wyrm and a Sentinel (which got reconstituted). The Sentinels took out a couple TSAs and put 3 quick wounds on Rygarn, but Holdir-enhanced chainfighter/Rygarn attacks of 5 took down the Sentinels. I won with 1L Rygarn, 5 TSAs, and the chainfighter against one Red and 1 Dwarf.

Re: OHS Season 52: Draft - ROUND 4
Won a super close one with MTL last night.
Draft: (MTL deferred 1st pick)
I opened Grey, hoping to fight Zombies with them, and MTL opened pure Zom. Grey didn't have the best attacks, killing 2 Zoms on OM2 and then both Zom attacks killed Greys. The last 2 Greys did kill 2 more Zoms going into round 2. I made sure to keep them out of 8-move Swift range.
I put 1 OM on Greys for Rd 2, and 2+3 on Brutes, hoping for Brutes to get some double-attacks onto the last few Zoms. I won init and killed 2 more Zoms (4 left). Swift finished off Greys. I moved up the Brutes with no attacks. MTL staged Swift on height. I sent in 1 Brute, who killed a Zom (3 left) before Zom took the OM3, but they failed to kill the Brute.
I lost init, and Swift killed that Brute and advanced on me while leaving 1 back. Brutes got some kills, but MTL had OMS 2+3 on Zom, using the Swift that hung back as a decoy for an OM being on them (smart). Zoms started to trade with Brutes+Teeth while I took OM2+3 on teeth. Zoms got back up to 5 briefly before going cold with 2 turns of 0 skulls, which let me finally get them below critical mass.
This left ~ 1 Brute, 5 Teeth, Guilty, Eldgrim v. Arktos, 2 Swift, Marcu.
Teeth traded into the Swift quickly, but Arktos put on a show, killing 1 Teeth per turn while keeping height. Eventually I brought down Arktos with 1 Teeth left.
Marcu charged, but was very bad on offense, missing 2 changes to kill the Teeth while he put a few wounds on Marcu and Guilty moved towards height on my OM3.
I went for a sneaky OM play, going 1-2 on Guilty, 3 on Teeth (who was engaged with Marcu) and X on Eld. I thought it would look like the X on Teeth and Marcu would leave him alone. I won init, Guilty took height and did 1 more wound, and Marcu took the bait and took an LEA to engage Guilty, but did no damage. Guilty failed miserably across 2 attacks from height. Marcu did 1 wound to Guilty before my sneaky Teeth OM killed Marcu to end the game.
I won with Eldgrim, 1-life Guilty, 1 Teeth.
GG MTL, super close and fun one to play out.
