OHS Season 53 - Delta Coalition Wars - congrats vegie!

Re: It's Live

Round 2 is on Twisted Cistern.

The caps (1-0) v. viideosayg (1-0) armies are:
THEM!
* Eltahale, Josie Whistlestop, Major J15, Red Ants of Aunstromx5

* Eldgrim the Viking Champion, Major Q10, Raelin the Kyrie Warrior [RotV], Deathreaversx3
caps chooses who places first.
viideosayg played a pretty flawless game. He set up his rats where Raelin could cover them from the start zone, then camped Q10 behind them and picked off my ants as they came along. That was the story of most of the rounds of the game; I'll describe the exceptions below.

Rounds 1 and 2 I went full Eltahale. I killed a rat with a 3/4 Thunder Ram in round 1, then round 2 she managed to put a wound on Raelin via a 1/4 Thunder Ram. Unfortunately viideo had surrounded Raelin with rats so that Eltahale could not Thunder Step to her, so I had her Thunder Step to Q10 instead, planning to disengage and Thunder Ram her way to Raelin after that. Eltahale went 2/6 against Q10 (blocked) and then Q10 managed to get her down to 1 life in a single OM. With 2 OMs left on her she stayed put and went 3/5 (blocked), then survived and Thunder Stepped to end the round and went 2/6 again; Q10 killed her with OM3.

The next round I made the dubious decision of going with Josie, who ultimately did nothing and was killed before the round ended.

Over the course of the next several rounds I gradually moved J15 towards Zawit while my ants begin to mass on my side of the board (viideo declined to leave his screen while I slow-rolled). I made a critical mistake, miscalculating J15's ability to get to Zawit (I forgot that he would have to stop his movement as soon as the lead foot hit the glyph, and so he didn't have enough move to get onto it). I had to delay J15 Zawitting by another round, which was critical because I got the initiative switch following the mistake round, which left J15 sitting on Zawit during viideo's OM3 with Q10, where he put a wound on J15. I kept initiative the next round and managed to put some more wounds on Raelin, but an 0/5 defense roll on J15 stole my OM3.

This was a great matchup for viideo, and he played it well. I really needed the dice to swing my way at a few key times in order to pull this match out, and they mostly did the opposite. My dice were quite bad, and badly distributed to boot.

Re: OHS Season 53 - Delta Coalition Wars - Round 1 until 8/2

Just played an excellent game against Chris Perkins! My Venocs opened the game by getting two frenzies and killing four of Chris' Venocs, Zetacron, and a Teeth before perishing. Ideally, my Mohicans would have followed that great performance up by killing a lot of Vipers. They did not. Well played, and good luck in your future matches!
 
Re: OHS Season 53 - Delta Coalition Wars - Round 1 until 8/2

Great and very close game against Cpt_Stupendous. Will write a battle report soon!
 
Re: OHS Season 53 - Delta Coalition Wars - Round 1 until 8/2

My Romans and their demon Samurai companion defeated dok's Specters/Racheim/Marro Warriors/Marcu. Akumaken's Mask of Terror is very powerful against the Specters, forcing 1v3 Counter Strike attacks, and that defined how we both played the game. I wanted to kill dok's other pieces before cleanup so that they could not kill Akumaken, and dok wanted to stop me from doing that.

dok opened Marro Warriors to contest Zawit and spread me out over the board, but they only killed two Romans. With control of the board and protection from Romans, my Me-Burq-Sa launched a series of pings on to Racheim as Specters advanced. On his last shot before being caught and killed, he rolled 4/4 skulls to kill Racheim. Specters took over the board, and Azurite and the remaining Romans desperately charged the start zone to throw attacks at Marcu but couldn't reach him. Then it was Akumaken vs. twelve Specters and Marcu in a many round dance. Marcu got one wound and then was caught and killed. The Specters and Akumaken danced for initiative switch for a long time, with Akumaken picking at the edges until she was eventually pinned for one Specter 2v3 height attack per turn. But that Specter height attack never succeeded over five tries, while Akumaken slowly but steadily killed every Specter. Good game.

Re: OHS Season 53 - Delta Coalition Wars - Round 2 until 9/6

This map order is rigged!:rofl:
 
Re: OHS Season 53 - Delta Coalition Wars - Round 3 until 9/1

Probably a lot could be said about the strategy approach, positioning, and placement on this one, but I think noone wants to read that essay ;)

So I'll keep it short...

Viideosayg and I spent the entire first two round positioning 3 letter small sized vermin and kyrie cheerleaders (one red and one blue) before letting loose in Round 3.

I was the one who threw the bigger dice and my 5 attack Kha/Brigands were able to kill the 7 defense Q10 (in only 3 attacks of 5v7 + 1 poison) before he could take down anything but 3 ants and a hit on Taelord.

Viideo called it there. gg

It'll mostly be me ranting about how I despise deathreavers.

I actually owe viideosayg a thank you for not making me fight 16 Raelin backed deathreavers
 
Re: OHS Season 53 - Delta Coalition Wars - Round 3 until 9/1

I defeated Og-Blaha's Warden/Tomb Skeletons/Drow/Crypt Guardian army and advanced my Romans to the playoffs. This was a game that was turned by Dagmar. Using opening initiative, Tomb Skeletons put the pressure on early, trading almost evenly for Romans and putting me under a lot of pressure, netting 6 wounds on the Azurite. In Round 3, I staged an initiative switch play with Dagmar and blew up the Tomb Skeletons, and they only got off a couple more attacks. The game was close between Romans and the remaining Guard forces.

In Round 4, the Crypt Guardians and Chainfighters came out. MBS quickly paralyzed one Crypt Guardian which netted me an order marker. In Round 4, a Roman landed a 4/4 blow to take down another Crypt and steal another order marker. Shortly after, MBS landed a few shots on Warden to take him out, and that basically sealed it. The remaining forces were too thinly spread to take out MBS and the remaining few Romans. Close game to start, but dice fell apart at the end.

Re: OHS Season 53 - Delta Coalition Wars - Round 3 until 9/1

Managed to stamp a second Romans ticket to the playoffs at the expense of Grey Waves' well-constructed and well-played Brigands/Cutters army. We had a very tense opening game as I bum rushed Azurite Warlord and then MBS while plodding my slow little Romans along to try to track down all his Brigands. That cost me about 4 Romans, 2 wounds on MBS, and 5 on Azurite Warlord.

Then it switched to cutters, who finished off Azzy, struggled to kill MBS (who struggled to kill cutters), but traded well with Romans. We took a break with the balance being 10 Cutters and Breach against 6 Romans, 1-life MBS, and NGS.

3 hours later, he won a Dagmar-backed initiative and got a sole cutter with a 3v3 on MBS (whiff), but MBS was still tied down and couldn't run away, getting re-engaged the next turn and dying. I whiffed on 1 and 2 dice against mob swarm attacks about 7 times in a row before the real endgame of 6ish cutters and Breach vs. NGS.

NGS took a lava wound but then tanked a bunch of attacks (mostly 2v4s, but some 2v5s and one attack each turn of 3v4), taking only one more wound (this may also have been a lava wound, can't remember). He got a kill in every attack he took against the goblins, dodging 2 lava rolls while bringing the cutters down below 3 and then eliminating them.

Breach ran up, NGS ran down to engage. First roll 20. Game.

I've now had 2 mind shackle rolls this event, both natural 20s against full-health heroes.

gg GW, hope your luck comes back for next round.

dok and I played today at my house. Specters sat comfortably on the lava. Red Ants quite predictably traded badly into them.

I probably could have played Eltahale better, but I ended up losing 2 OMs due to her wiffing vs a 3/3 attack. Dok killed my other two heroes before that round ended.

GG dok.

In hindsight I should have taken Q10 instead of J15 and Josie. He would have been just as good or better in my one win and would have been a better matchup for both of my losses.
 
Re: OHS Season 53 - Delta Coalition Wars - Round 3 until 9/1

Finished with Sir H tonight, we both played it super slow at the start. I was hoping to lose an initiative so I could play for dagmar+cutting mandibles as I had much better movement. I won the first initiative, and started setting up a wall of ants. Sir H slow rolled and developed towards dagmar as well. Round 2 I won initiative and moved up Moltenclaw greenscales in an attempt to shoot from behind my ants screen in the following round. Sir H responded by sending negoksa and a squad of Romans to try to maneuver around my wall of ants. We collided on the seven hex lava on the north side. I took 2 ants to engage negoksa and another to block him from grabbing dagmar in the south. I did manage a wound on negoksa with a 3v6. Sir H’s attack dice went cold and only killed one ant I think. We both dodged lava this round. I won initiative and started the assault of greenscales/Moltenclaw. I used Moltenclaw to hit negoksa and 2 romans. My 1/4 skulls managed to kill 2 Romans which was nice and then I used greenscales to engage and force 3 LEAs to get to Moltenclaw. He took 2 more wounds from the LEAs, missed the mind shackle, but hit a 3/3 into 1/4 dealing 2 wounds. I then took an LEA from negoksa (miss) to try and max out attacks on his Roman’s. There were 3 lined up, and if I killed a single one of them I could reposition greenscales to block Roman’s from getting to Moltenclaw. Unfortunately I hit a 1/4 and didn’t kill any Roman’s. This led to Moltenclaw taking 4 wounds in 2 attacks and dying. That was pretty much the game as mogrimm was going to be a tough nut to crack when the rest of my army effectively had 2 attack. That was the case, I got a couple lucky hits and got him down to 2 Roman’s, 1/3 Mebuqsa, 3/6 mogrimm, bol, and isamu.
GG Sir Heroscape, Well played! I should have been more careful with Moltenclaw, just was hoping to get a Roman kill with Moltenclaw.

Re: OHS Season 53 - Delta Coalition Wars - Round 4 until 9/2

Lost a very fun game to kevindola to clinch not getting the top seed :(.

Lots of swings in the game, both fast and slow.

My MVP was a Roman who survived a 2v3, a 5v2, an LEA, 2 4v2s, and 2 4v3s before dying to an LEA. 6 of those blocks were while he was the last roman standing (with OMs still on him).

kevin's MVP was Taelord, who boosted almost every attack he took.

He won with a 3-life Taelord and a single ant.
 
Re: OHS Season 53 - Delta Coalition Wars - Round 4 until 9/2

Very fun final game with Xiegfried tonight. While I unfortunately go 0-4 in my first OHS season, I learned a ton about competitive play and had a great time these past four weeks. GG's Xiegfried, Bert, Sir Heroscape, and O.G. Blaha!

Looking forward to playing again next season!
