outek Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 The second scenario which I played [Ancient Ruins] was very close game against Dewen. It could have gone either way up until about the last turn or so. Then I was finally able to start finishing off all his ogres. Overall it was a very fun day.

outek Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I just posted my report of the "Storm the Castle" battle in the scenario thread, but here it is again: The first scenario I played at the Origins Tournament was "Storm the Castle." I ended up being the attacker. Attacker: Necropolis [Devourer Doctrine] Defender: Reven My army consisted of the following: Troop 1 Judas Bloodspire - Naomi - Tharian - Gauntfield - Crimson Knight x4 Troop 2 Aysa Troop 3 Elsabeth Briarkiss - Vanderast x2 - Skeletal Warrior x3 [Approximate rundown of events] Deployment (from attacker's perspective): - Troop 1 was deployed at the center entrance [Crimson Knights in front], Troop 2 deployed along the wall just to the left of center, and Troop 3 deployed at the left entrance [skeletal Warriors in front]. - The Reven had the following in the Entryway: Gnoll Archer x3, Nhoolyan Hunting Beast x2 Turn 1: Nhoolyan charged/trampled Troop 3, catching 2x Warriors, Elsabeth and a Bloodseeker. Warriors were killed; Elsabeth and Bloodseeker took a wound. Nhoolyan took 2 wounds. Troop 1 activated, the Crimson Knights and Judas basing the other Nhoolyan [no attacks]. Tharian cast Ice Shard at a Gnoll Archer, Naomi and Gauntfield moved in. Troop 3 activated; Elsabeth and wounded Bloodseeker finished off their Nhoolyan, the other Bloodseeker and Skeletal Warrior engaged a Gnoll Archer each [no attacks]. Aysa moved through the wall and cast ice shard at the damaged Gnoll, killing it. The Gnolls activated, kiliing the Skeletal Warrior and one being killed in return the the Bloodseeker. The remaining Nhoolyan managed to break from combat then attempted to trample the Knights. Unfortunately for it, its path included Judas, and failed its discipline check. Turn 2: Troop 1 activated. Tharian focused and cast ice shard at the Nhoolyan, doing a point of damage and stunning it. The Knights chopped up the Nhoolyan as Judas went over to the door and knocked it open. Gauntfield charged the remaining Gnoll and killed it. Naomi moved up. Troop 3 activated, Bloodseeker attacked orcs waiting on the the other side of the door, Elsabeth and other Bloodseeker ran to catch up. Orcs engaged Bloodseeker and Judas, most died. Aysa ran through the wall and stayed out of trouble. Orcs guarding other door moved over to help out their buddies and the goblin mob came out of the throne room (one managed to engage Aysa, but no attacks) to help as well. Turn 3: Troop 1 activated. Tharian focused, cast ice shard at orc leader (Narg?) did a point of damaged and stunned him; Naomi moved towards doorway then cast firestorm on the goblins killing 6 or 7 of them; Judas charged Narg, killing him while three of the Knights charged in against the orcs and one Knight charged Bloodmane (wounded him, was killed but made tough check). Troop 2 [Aysa] activates, breaks from combat,moves then casts fearsome demeanor on a Crimson Knight standing next to Judas from inside the Throne Room. Goblins activate and charge in against Knights and Judas. Only two pass Discipline checks against Judas, none pass test against fearsome Knight.Those brave/foolish goblins died. Orcs activate, Bloodmane finishes off wounded Knight, and I think another Knight was wounded at the cost of a couple orcs. Troop 3 activates, Bloodseeker takes out Blackmane, the other takes out a pair of goblins, and Elsabeth runs into the Throne Room through the gap. Turn 4: Troop 3 activates, Elsabeth sits on the throne while Bloodseekers start the cleanup. Troop 1 activates, Naomi and Tharian continue finishing off survivors. *Basically picked a point, softened it up with artillery, punched through with the 'tanks', then had the 'fast movers' [Mov 6 and 7 in this case] exploit the gap and cause havoc behind the enemy lines.

Castlebuilder Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Tournament Notes Players Northern Ohio - Bob, Kim, & Justin (Justin now lives in Columbus, but he used to live in Mansfield, so we still claim him.) Southern Ohio - Dave, Jason, & Danny Since I had two groups of three that knew and played against each other, I broke things up so nobody played somebody from their home town. Round 1 Dave vs Kim - Totem Trouble - Jason vs Justin - Haunted Ruins - Danny vs Bob - Storm the Palace - Round 2 Danny vs Justin - Totem Trouble Dave vs Bob - Haunted Ruins Jason vs Kim - Storm the Palace Round 3 Jason vs Bob - Totem Trouble Danny vs Kim - Haunted Ruins Dave vs Justin - Storm the Palace Scoring Rnd 1 Rnd 2 Rnd 3 Final Dave 12 12.6 11.5 36.1 Jason 6.1 1.7 0 7.8 Danny 2 10 5.7 17.7 Kim 8 15.7 15.8 39.5 2nd Bob 20 16 20 56 1st Justin 11.4 10 16 37.4 3rd Jason was a new player, and with Adam (Shakak) picking on him most of the time I'm surprised he did as well as he did. The tournament was a lot of fun. We were already talking about a re-match by the time everybody left. Adam says that next time he will play so it will be somebody else in first place next time.

shakhak Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Not only is Jason returning for Gen Con, but he's planning to hit that tourny with a painted army. He primed up Big Phil today. We're trying to come up with a name for the Cincinnati guys so that when we clash with the Mansfield Bears it sounds better than North vs South. I want to hear the battle report from Bob's and Dave's game in the Ruins scenario. That looked close and I missed all of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedge Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Great report Outek and thanks for the standings Tim, wish I could have been there! Scoring wise, I'm a little curious how you got fractional points out of each of the scenarios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoring wise, I'm a little curious how you got fractional points out of each of the scenarios. I just took the percentage killed out one decimal point. If a player eliminated 462 points of his enemies army, I gave him 4.6 instead of 4. This was to help keep from having tie scores. Totem Trouble, which was all objective based, didn't get a decimal point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about "The Snowstorm Crew" since every time I come down to the Krystal Keep for an event I hit a major snowstorm on the way home..... I will see Bob this evening. I will pester him about a battle report for his fight with Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsoldier Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 All I remember is that RAAM like ogres when they go splat. I'll be at Gencon ready to go again either with the Reptus or the Yeti/ vikings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castlebuilder Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Hey Adam & Dave, Tell Jason and Danny that Kim and Steph are getting ready to face them in the GenCon Warlord tournament. Both of them are talking about making up buttons that say, "I got beat by a girl!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats assuming the snowstorm wasn't so bad, you couldn't make it to KK to play in the first place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castlebuilder Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Getting there usually isn't the problem. It's the trip home that is usually when the blizzard hits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
