Negotiations to prevent bloodshed were unsurprisingly unsuccessful....

Good luck Sammy and co, this will be quite an interesting battle

The battle is in the mountains- a Empire cavalry scouting mission runs into an Ogre stronghold and they meet on the field of battle.

The empire is using 1/4 of their tanks on a scouting mission?

Is is not more likely that the Ogres are descending on an Knightly Order chapter house or something. Though I agree that the Empire list make the fluff really difficult.

They found a couple of extra metal hunks in an abandoned warehouse....

Spell choices ended up being:

EMPIRE
Harmonic convergence
Iceshard blizzard
Curse of Midnight Winds
Chain Lightning

OGRE
2x Fireball for Firebellies

Spinemarrow (Stubborn)
Bullgorger (+1 Str)
Braingobbler (force Panic test)
Trollguts (Regen)

Ogres gave me two drops. Empire- discuss in your thread what two drops you want and where.

Here is where things sit at the moment. Empire is up again.

I realized doing this TEG that since I am looking and posting in both Tactical threads I don't need to post updates here if I post them there.

This will be our trash-talking spot from now for both teams. Otherwise, stay tuned to your own armies thread!

In that case lets start some trash talk!

The slaughtermasters mamma is so ugly, the great maw wouldn't eat her until they'd rolled her in ketchup!

Why is there so little terrain on the board? Shouldn't there have been D6+4 random pieces?

From the looks of it, HHG rolled a 1 on that D6+4.

So hows the empire deployment coming along....our firebellies are itching to warm up the tins of food before we eat

Question for the group-

When running open lists, does your opponent have the right to know which similar models have what when you place them on the table?

For instance, if you had two Warrior Priests with different kits, would they know which ones are which? Or even in an open match, this could be held secret until it was revealed during the game?

How have you all played it?

George · « **Reply #36 on:** July 04, 2013, 09:37:42 PM »

In tournies in Aus I have always been clear with opponents which model has which kit.
I was actually going to ask which Captasus was which.
That said if most people hide that info I have no issue playing that way. Russion roulette with cannons looking for the charmed shield

George has hit upon why I like to have open lists, but then keep the identity and kit of similar characters hidden. If we have three Captasi, one of whom bears the charmed shield, I want to that to be a part of the OK calculations in whether or not to attempt those shots.

In friendly games, I play with open lists but hidden kit.

Krokz · « **Reply #38 on:** July 05, 2013, 09:25:14 AM »

I've never heard of hidden kit. Here on tourneys if its open its open, if its closed its closed. No half way.

sammay23 · « **Reply #39 on:** July 08, 2013, 12:12:23 PM »

I know this thread is supposedly for talking smack but I have to say:

Nice turn 2 George and OK generals. Smart choices combined with some nice dice have put us in a tough spot. Bravo! If you drop the tank this round, we're in a lot of trouble.

Not that we won't still try to salvage what we can

George · « **Reply #40 on:** July 08, 2013, 09:21:26 PM »

Cheers....I stretched the elastic on the dice log with my rolls, but it sprung back in the STank combat.

I'll be interested to see how you respond

George · « **Reply #41 on:** July 09, 2013, 05:14:50 AM »

Nice charge with the Demis into....I didn't see that one coming

sammay23 · « **Reply #42 on:** July 09, 2013, 12:16:11 PM »

Doin my best to keep you on your toes

Regardless of outcome, this has already been a great game.

George · « **Reply #43 on:** July 09, 2013, 11:49:54 PM »

It certainly has been....here's hoping I can crack the tank this turn!

sammay23 · « **Reply #44 on:** July 10, 2013, 12:24:34 AM »

Great move with the Mournfangs. I was afraid you'd do that and tried to block you from hitting the DGs with all five of the MFs. We'll see how it goes...

George · « **Reply #45 on:** July 10, 2013, 11:36:55 PM »

Looks like we wasted our points on the hell heart and dispel scroll...your mage was keen to not let us interact....Unlucky.

sammay23 · « **Reply #46 on:** July 10, 2013, 11:41:53 PM »

Played Ogres enough to know to stay as far away as possible.

That's one very nice thing about Heavens: lots of long range spells.

Now we just have to see if losing the wizard to my own spellcasting was worth it. It's the right gamble, but a gamble nonetheless.

George · « **Reply #47 on:** July 10, 2013, 11:47:46 PM »

Yeah, I'd figure 5 or 6 dice was right....and you could afford most miscast results....but dice happen, especially with this dice log! I'm starting to gamble on either good or bad rolls as the average ones don't happen

sammay23 · « **Reply #48 on:** July 10, 2013, 11:56:16 PM »

Seriously, the dice really do seem wonky. It'd be interesting to do a TEG with dice, instead of a random number generator.

You've played a great game so far, even with the dice. I've spent a lot of time puzzling over BC to figure out how to respond.

George · « **Reply #49 on:** July 11, 2013, 12:10:33 AM »

Cheers...just wait until you see what I have planned for next turn

I am impressed by what in how you have been able to respond too...I think my back will soon be against the wall soon.
