|
|
Anyone want to play an online game? If so just let me know (PM or on this thread). I can run the board.
Whatever army size or different types of dice you want to use are fine.
I generally do the standard 36pt game, but might be interesting to do a big monster game with 60 or something.
Even a small 24pt army would be good for a shorter game.

I haven't played a monster bash game in a while.
To keep it from being monotonous, let me propose this:
60 health, all monsters (10 sided)
No more than two of any monster
Allowed:
any terrain color combination
special frontier terrains
white dragons
hybrid dragons
not Allowed:
No dkin
no magic items
no minor terrains
no nightmares (this is for me, cause I love them! but not released yet) _________________ Multiplayer Champion Gencon11/Battlefest Champion(tied) GenCon10/World Champion GenCon07/National Champion Origins05/Intermediate Champion GenCon02/Novice Champion Origins99 |

Never tried that, sounds like fun.
I'll start making a pile of monsters and once I have it together I will post it on this thread.
I can run the board, so when you are ready post your monster list. _________________ Dragon Dice collection 801 (1/8/2014)

BTW - the uniqueness qualifier was for me also. Otherwise I would've just picked one monster and brought 15 of them. This forces me to use more and really think about it.
So here is what I worked out this morning.
Summoning Pool- (60 health is three)
White Wyrm
Ivory Wyrm
Home - CoastLand Tower
Roc
Troll
Medusa
Fireshadow
Phoenix
Minor Death
Remorhaz
Frontier - CoastLand Vortex
Roc
Troll
Medusa
Fireshadow
Phoenix
Minor Death
Remorhaz
Horde -
Wolf Pack _________________ Multiplayer Champion Gencon11/Battlefest Champion(tied) GenCon10/World Champion GenCon07/National Champion Origins05/Intermediate Champion GenCon02/Novice Champion Origins99 |

That works out great for me because I don't have a big selection of monsters. I have most of them, but generally only one of each. Don't have most of the extra rare ones though.
Took a bit of thinking to figure out something to do with them... not sure how it will work. Should be fun though.
I have to go to work here in a second, and won't be home tonight, so I*ll setup the board tomorrow afternoon.
Home Army (28 )
1 Salamander
1 Genie
1 Unseelie Faerie
1 Will o' Wisps
1 Rakshasa
1 Androsphinx
1 Ettercap
Campaign Army (4)
1 Fireshadow
Horde Army (28 )
1 Coral Giant
1 Gryphon
1 Yeti
1 Chimera
1 Minor Death
1 Shambler
1 Wolf Pack
Home terrain: Highland Standing Stones
Frontier terrain: Highland City
Summoning Pool

Let me know if I forgot anything.
Just so you know I will be starting another game at the same time, but I can run both boards no problem.
Horde Roll:
Gryphon - fly = 4
Chimera - fly = 4
Shambler -ID =4
Total = 12 _________________ Dragon Dice collection 801 (1/8/2014)

My horde of one die can't beat 12, but just to follow the game flow:
Wolf Pack - 4 Howl
So zero.
You want to go first or pick the terrain?
No worries about being slow. I am slow a lot of times. The worst part of this game is going to be all the SAI's we are likely to roll and the back and forth to resolve them. _________________ Multiplayer Champion Gencon11/Battlefest Champion(tied) GenCon10/World Champion GenCon07/National Champion Origins05/Intermediate Champion GenCon02/Novice Champion Origins99 |

I'll choose to go first.
I rolled a "1 magic" on the highland standing stones.
Go ahead and roll for the frontier and your home terrain. _________________ Dragon Dice collection 801 (1/8/2014)

magic with monsters is hard, but you got the right face for it.
I have to choose my terrain.
Coastland Vortex - 7 Melee, turns down to 6
Coastland Tower - 3 Missile

ok, here it goes
First March: I'll try a magic action with the army at my home terrain.
Magic result:
Unseelie Faerie - magic icon = 4
Total = 4
Wow, indeed magic is hard to roll with monsters. That would have been an awesome melee attack with 16
I will cast burning hands on my Wolf Pack:
BURNING HANDS Casting Cost: 4
Target one of your units not already under the effects of a Burning Hands spell. The target unit’s melee results are doubled. This spell remains in effect until it is used by the unit or until the unit generates non-SAI melee results needed by the army. Multiple castings target multiple units.
Second March: I will maneuver with my army at your home terrain.
Maneuver result:
Yeti - maneuver icon = 4
Wolf Pack - maneuver icon = 4
Total = 8 _________________ Dragon Dice collection 801 (1/8/2014)

I will go ahead and try to counter maneuver.
Roc - 4 Fly
Troll - 4 Regenerate
Medusa - 4 Melee
Fireshadow - 4 Fly
Phoenix - 4 Rise from the Ashes
Minor Death - 4 Melee
Remorhaz - 4 Melee
only 8. So the tie goes to you. Turn away. _________________ Multiplayer Champion Gencon11/Battlefest Champion(tied) GenCon10/World Champion GenCon07/National Champion Origins05/Intermediate Champion GenCon02/Novice Champion Origins99 |

Ok, I will maneuver up to 4 missile.
Then I will take a missile action I suppose aimed at the army at the same terrain.
Missile Result:
as I expected total= 0
EOT
that was not a very productive turn.. _________________ Dragon Dice collection 801 (1/8/2014)

First March at the Frontier
Maneuver Attempt:
Roc - 4 ID
Troll - 4 Maneuver
Medusa - 4 Stone
Fireshadow - 4 Melee
Phoenix - 4 Save
Minor Death - 4 Slay
Remorhaz - 4 Maneuver
12 maneuvers
If you countered, the most you can get is four. so I know I will win.
Turn the terrain up to 7.
Melee Action against the fireshadow.
Roc - 4 Seize
Troll - 4 Smite
Medusa - 4 Save
Fireshadow - 4 ID
Phoenix - 4 Save
Minor Death - 4 Melee
Remorhaz - 4 Save
The Smite will kill him, so no save roll and no counter attack possible.
Second March at my home:
Manevuer attempt
Roc - 4 Melee
Troll - 4 Smite
Medusa - 4 Maneuver
Fireshadow - 4 ID
Phoenix - 4 Fly
Minor Death - 4 Plague
Remorhaz - 4 Save
12 maneuvers
Do you want to counter?
I know which direction I want to go and because of where the terrain is at it would be in missile no matter what. (up down or staying)
So I will go ahead and take a missile action against the army at the same terrain.
Roc - 4 Melee
Troll - 4 Save
Medusa - 4 Stone
Fireshadow - 4 Melee
Phoenix - 4 Seize
Minor Death - 4 Plague
Remorhaz - 4 Maneuver
First the SAI's
| Quote: | Seize: Special (missile action)
During a missile action, choose up to four health-worth of units in the defending army to immediately roll an
ID icon individually or be killed. Those that roll an ID icon flee to reserve area.
|
I choose the Minor Death as the Target of Seize.
| Quote: |
Stone: Special (missile action); Normal (dragon attack or missile avoidance roll)
During a missile action, each Stone result immediately inflicts one point of damage on the defending army; no
saves (including those provided by spells) can stop this damage. During a dragon attack or missile avoidance
roll, Stone generates missile results.
|
You get to pick this one, one of them must die (It can't be the minor death if it flees to reserves).
Finally - There is no normal missile to save against, so you get no save roll.
Reserves:
My wolf pack will retreat from the Highland.
The FireShadow at the frontier will terrain flight to my home.
Everyone else stays.

Coral Giant - ID = 4

Total = 8 fail, which way do you want to move it?
Missile SAIs
Minor Death rolled an ID, hurray.. runs away to the reserves
The Shambler got smashed by the stone

Okay, moved it down.
First March: I will try once more to do a magic action... hope it works better this time.
Magic Result:
Genie - magic icon = 4
Will o Wisps - ID = 4
Rakshasa - magic icon = 4
Total = 12
hmm.. I will make it even more monstery and summon a dragon to the frontier. The Red/Black Drake.
With the Will o Wisp I will cast Water Walking on my army at your home terrain.
Water Walking Casting Cost: 4 Spell List: Scalder
Target any army located at a terrain with the green (water) element. Until the beginning of your next
turn, add four maneuver results to the target army. Multiple castings increase the effect or target
another army.
Second March: I will try to maneuver with my army at your home terrain.
Maneuver result:
Coral Giant - ID = 4
+4 from Water Walking
Total = 8 _________________ Dragon Dice collection 801 (1/8/2014)
