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

Code:
vegie    Dysole
MWs
          PKs
          PKs
Kaemon
Motley Max
          Dwarves
          Dwarves
Rats
Rats
          Major Q10
          Marcu
Beorn

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

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.
Poor Drake. One-shot by Braxas acid last game, tossed into lava this game.

The dok (1-1) v. og-blaha (1-1) armies are:

Kate Crawford

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.

Played part 2 of this one tonight (had started yesterday, when the site temporarily went down and forced us to postpone).

Draft:
Code:
[U]Vegie Dad[/U]		[U]Chris Perkins[/U]
MWs
			Greyspear
			Arktos
Finn
Knights
			Swiftfang
			Eldgrim
Thorgrim
Knights
			Brutes
			Knights x1
Knights

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.

Sentinels of Grax

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)
Code:
CP        MTL
Grey
	Swift
	Arktos
Teeth x2
	Zom x2
Eldgrim
Guilty
	Zom x2
Brutes
Teeth x1 (sit 1)
	Marcu

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.

---------------------------

Edit 2: Result

Sometimes the dice gods smile at you and laugh at your opponent. That's the best summary I can think of for this game.

Rd 1. I opened Theracus/Teeth/Teeth and KoL opened Viper/Viper/Viper. I won init, Theracus took the lvl 4 height, and Teeth rolled up with the scout troop leader. 2 Vipers rolled in and put 2 wounds on Theracus but missed frenzy. Teeth killed those 2 Vipers. Vipers replace them and killed Theracus, but missed Frenzy again. Teeth killed 3 more Vipers and claimed most of the center height. The last Viper missed a Teeth twice (w/ frenzy).

Rd 2. I went Teeth/Teeth/Viper and KoL went Swift/Swift/Swift. I won init and Teeth killed 2 Swift, basically ending the game. Swift+Arktos came in and killed a few squaddies, but I killed the other 2 Swift to burn OMs. Vipers moved up, got a frenzy, and took 2 heighted attacks on Arktos, doing 4 wounds.

Rd 3. I went Teeth/Viper/Viper and KoL went Brute/Brute/Guilty. I won init again and killed 2 Brutes. The remaining Brutes did small damage while I killed Guilty and missed a lot of attacks on Zeta.

The game was just cleanup from there. Vipers eventually got through to Zeta. Marcu lived a decent time, but I had way too much firepower for him to ever have a realistic chance. I won with 2 Teeth, 2 Vipers, 4 Greys (unactivated) & Brave Arrow (unactivated).

GGs KoL, nothing that could have been done about the d20 variance in Rd 1 + Rd 2.

Cultist x2

Game

I opened pure Cultists while Sir H went Swift/Spider/Swift. I rolled my Cultists up and eventually send in 1 on OM3 while Sir H developed things, then send in 1 Swift on OM3 while the others hung back. The Swift got a kill on a Cultist.

Sir H went all Spiders for the next few rounds while I stayed all Cultists. We traded squaddies, with the Wyvern being super careful. I went for a few big init switches that failed on me (one because Sir H hit a web and picked the right 50/50 on his OM3 to burn my OM3, which was a pretty massive game point). As a result of not getting those switches, Sir H mostly traded better early, but I did take random attacks on Swifts throughout this exchange and managed to kill 2 more of the Swifts. A spider also took Wannok, which ended up putting 3 wounds on Himmel over the course of the game.

When I was down to 1 Cultist, I swung him around to get height on the Wyvern, and he managed to get the Wyvern down to 1 life. The Wyvern then proceeded to miss the next 2 4v4s into the Cultist, which hung him up while the endgame with my Greyspears began.

At this point I had 1 Cultist, 2-life Himmel, & 4 Greys left. Sir H had 1-life Wyvern, 6 spiders, 1 Swift, 3-life Arktos.

The spiders were pretty spread out though and Sir H only got 2 engaged on the first turn and 1 the second, and missed all 3 2v3s while the Greys took out 4 forward spiders. With only 2 Spiders left, Sir H went Swift/Arktos/Arktos and I went all Greys. I won init, killed the Swift, Wyvern, & 1 Spider to take a big lead late. I put 2 more wounds on Arktos & killed the last spider while Arktos killed 1 Grey.

I took a possibly unnecessary risk and went Himmel/Grey/Grey. Sir H won init and made a really good play to send Arktos to low ground, but outside of Himmel range, and got a kill on a Grey. Himmel moved up but I had no attack. Arktos then missed another Grey. I left 1 Grey to take Wannok on my OM3 and sent the other to attack Arktos, and he got the kill to end the game.

GGs Sir H, super close one with a few really big turns in there.
 
Re: OHS Season 52: Draft - PLAYOFFS

GG's Chris. really well played game. I felt like we both had solid play with thin margins of error.

I was feeling really good about my position all up until that last Nhah Scirh decided to go hero mode and shift the game back into your favor. If he dies, that's another 2-3 turns I've got with the Wyvern to help follow up with those spider engagements I had in your SZ...but without that, the spiders just couldn't do enough on their own. That said, Arktos can solo if I get some shields...but those early wounds on him did wonders...and blanking in the late game really hurt.

again gg's
