*** ChewsDay Challenge ***


What: The ChewsDay Challenge series of events is part of an initiative to host a public weekly game night that is welcoming to new members and is a way for people new to boardgames to experience a beginner friendly atmosphere. A opportunity for people new to designer board games or veterans of the hobby to come out, meet 'n' greet, and play some games.   This is held at a great location with full food and beverage service. Come on out and try some games.

The venue is also a great place for Wargamers and Strategy Gamers to come out and play a game. There are some titles that are hard to get to the table, let's try to get them the attention they deserve at a ChewsDay Challenge.


Where: North Albert St. Boston Pizza (Regina)

When: Every ChewsDay night of course, see date on this post for this particular event.

Who: Anyone interested in playing boardgames. The venue is suitable for many different styles of games: (Wargames, Euro Games, Crokinole, Chess, Go, Scrabble, Backgammon, etc.)

Why: Life is Short; Play Games!

Although not necessary, we urge you to post in this thread if you are coming and what games you might bring or would like to play. Prearranging some games helps get some of the harder titles to the table. Perhaps you have seen someone post about a game in THIS THREAD, this might be an opportunity to get them to bring out the game and show you.

If you are new to the gaming scene in the City of Regina, come on out and meet some others. Feel free to come a bit early and grab a bite to eat. See you there!!!  :excited

Every ChewsDay Challenge, we will have a Game Host on site to teach a game. This is a great way for new players to experience a game in a beginner friendly environment. The Weekly Game will be set up at 6:15pm and players are urged to be there for 6:30. The feature game will start at 6:45pm. Note: A number of us go early (5ish) to grab a bite to eat, you are welcome to join us.

Miniatures Games / Re: HeroScape - Game Scenarios

ValKyrie Council Moot Gone Wrong

Version: 1.0
Played on Map: The Marshy Vale of Grandakar River
Number of Players: Four. 

Scenario Background:
In the shadow of Mount Grandakar, there is a special council meeting place. It was thought that the ValKyrie generals could use a place of peace. A place to come together to end the conflicts that have plagued them. Special teleport pads were put in place to allow the emissaries to come together quickly. The place had protections and magics that would prevent conflict. The first council moot lasted 15 minutes before the animosity grew strong enough that the bonds of protection failed. It is now a failed symbol of peace and a place of constant warring. Each general yearns to control this place as a show of strength to the other factions. This place of peace is awash with blood.

Special Scenario Rules:
Army Draft

  • Each player drafts 500 points.
  • This is NOT a team game. Each player plays for himself.
  • Unique units are unique to: "The Player". Each player may have the same unique as another player.
  • Each player must show up to the scenario with a pre-made 500 point army. Without one, an army will be selected for you.

Draft Restrictions

  • No Marvel Units may be drafted or used.
  • We have 6 of every unit (Unique and Squad). Army drafts are limited to the collection.
  • In the event two players have a conflict with their army builds using the same units and the collection does not have enough, a die roll will give priority to the higher roll. The other player(s) will have to fill the gaps in their army from other units.

Draft Costs
Starting Zones

  • There are 7 tiles numbered 1 through 7 on the board. Players roll a d20 to establish placement priority. Highest roll then rolls 2d8 and selects a starting place for their army. A roll of 8 allows choice. The same procedure applies to the remaining players.
  • If you roll the same numbers on both dice, roll 1 of them again.
  • If you pick one of the two upper level starting zones you are limited to 1 zone, otherwise you may use both the numbers rolled for your starting zone.
  • Start zones will then consist of thirty-seven hexes. Any units over that cannot enter play and are eliminated. Draft wisely.
  • Starting with the first player. Place an army card worth of units starting on your start tile and radiated out from there. Units must be placed on the closest possible tile to the start tile. Movement limitations apply when placing, (for instance if the closest tile is 15 elevation up, then you do not place on that tile).

The Drop

  • Cannot be under overhangs or in the caverns.
  • The Airborne Elite have a hard time being accurate with their drop. A combination of clouds and dense foliage make it hard to pinpoint. To simulate this, a player places four target markers on the board for where they wish the elite to be placed. They then roll 1 red d6 and a white d6 for each unit to determine where the soldiers really land. If the roll is doubles, then the jump was accurate, (place the unit on the target hex). Other than that use the red d6 to determine direction and the white d6 to determine distance from the target hex for each unit. If in the course of placement of an airborne elite, the spot would not be a legal placement, move back towards the target spot until a legal spot can be found.

Flying / Leap / Grappling

  • No restrictions other than the cave system can ONLY be entered through the cave entrances and not the edge of the map.

Terrain

  • All official terrain rules are in effect, including deep snow & slippery ice.

Miscellaneous Items & Rules:

  • There are 12 teleport pads on the map. Two for each of the 6 Factions.
  • At the start of each game round after each player has placed their order markers, roll 3 of the six sided faction dice. The symbols that show indicate which teleport pads are operational that round. Those teleport pads may freely be used by any unit.
  • No unit may end their movement on a teleport pad.
  • It costs 1 movement point to move from 1 active pad to another of the same symbol.
  • When using a teleport pad, the unit will never take a leaving engagement roll.

Victory Conditions:
By Points

  • The usual point allocations are awarded for combat as per the victory point sheet.

Instant Victory

  • Eliminate all of your opponents, (easy-peasy). :)

Bull Rush
Before the attack dice are rolled, the attacker can elect to do a bull rush maneuver instead of an attack to push the opponent back one or more hexes and move ahead into the opponent's vacated hex. Perhaps you wish to push an opponent off of a glyph or maybe over a cliff. Here is how it works:
• The attacking unit must have some movement left over from his move. It is important to know how much movement is left over as it will limit the distance of the bull rush.
• The opponent must be on the same level or adjacent lower terrain.
• A Bull Rush does not directly damage an opponent and the maneuver is easier to accomplish than an attack. Hence, the attacker gets one additional attack die
• If there is a difference in size classes, the larger unit gets one extra dice per size class of difference.
     o Small - Medium – Large - Huge
• The defender must defend against all of the skulls or get pushed back. The attacker can push the opponent back one hex for each extra skull he has rolled over the number of shields rolled. Note that the attacking figure must have the movement left over to move into each hex the opponent is pushed out of.
• The opponent is pushed directly back from the attacking unit, if that is on a higher level or not a legal move then the defender chooses one of the other two hexes away from the attacker. This maneuver cannot be attempted if there are no legal open hexes for the defender to move into.
• The unit that was target of the bull rush suffers no disengagement attacks as a result of this maneuver however, falling damage or lava damage occurs if applicable.

Kamikaze Leap
A unit may make a glorious suicidal leap onto an opponent to try to take the opponent out. It is a committed attack and a spectacle to behold; the stuff of legends. Here are the specifics:
• The elevation difference must be high enough that the units are NOT considered adjacent.
• The attacker gains a bonus of 2 attack dice in addition to the current attack dice.
• After the defender rolls defense and resolves the effect on his unit, the defender rolls two attack dice for falling damage to see if the leap of faith is also the leap of doom for the attacker.
• If by miracle, neither the attacker nor defender perishes in this maneuver, the defender chooses which adjacent hex the attacker is placed on. If there is no legal place for the attacker to reside, then it dies in the assault and is removed from the board.

Jump
A figure may jump over an adjacent hex of equal or less height to a hex of equal or less height. The hex the fig lands on must be adjacent to the hex jumped over.
Jumping costs 4 move points. (This includes 1 for lifting off, 2 for the glorious leap, and 1 for a nice landing).
• Before you jump, declare your landing hex, roll the D20, on a 6+ your jump is successful. (There is a 25% chance of failure).
• If you fail, you land on the hex you were trying to jump over. Follow any rules you'd have to if you had just walked onto that hex, then, if rules allow, you may use any remaining movement.

Careful Jump:
• You may spend 6 move points instead of 4 and have a better chance of success. Roll the D20, on a 2+ your jump is successful. (There is a 5% chance of failure).

Flanking
When a unit has two or more enemy units adjacent to it, it is considered to be "Flanked". Flanked units are vulnerable because all of their attackers gain a bonus on the attacks. Beware of flanking maneuvers.
• Any attacks against a unit that is flanked, gain 1 attack die. This occurs even if the attacking unit is not adjacent to the unit it is attacking. 

Cover
It is in the defender's best interest to use the natural cover of the terrain, ruins, intervening units, or trees to his advantage. Here is how the benefits of cover affect range attacks.
• If the defender has at least 50% of the red hit zone obscured from the attacker's line of site, the defender gets one additional defense die.
• If it is unclear whether or not it is 50% cover because it is close to 50%, the defender always gets the benefit of the doubt.

HeroScape M/A/MA Order Marker Rules (Move/Attack/Move-Attack)
Most of our games involve large maps and large armies and multiple players. The following rules are in place to create more options for movement and attack. This has the benefit of allowing units to close quicker and also encouraging more units to be involved in the game play. Each player takes four regular order markers: 1, 2, 3, X. On each round, you'll place these on your army card(s) to show the order in which your figures will MOVE & ATTACK. In addition to the regular order markers, each player takes a set of markers (1, 2, 3, X) with the white dot. These are your "MOVE ONLY" markers. These markers are used for extra movement. The units with these markers only get to move and do not get an action (i.e. attack). Also, each player takes a set of markers (1, 2, 3, X) with the red dot. These are your "ATTACK ONLY" markers. These markers are used for extra attacks. The units with these markers only get to attack and do not get a movement. During the round initiation, when players are placing their order markers, the only rule is that they cannot place more than three markers on one card. On a turn, you'll perform moves and/or attacks with the figures on one or more army cards. Decide now which army cards you'll use on which turn, then place an order marker on those cards (1 for the first, 2 for the second turn, 3 for the third turn, and X for the decoy). Players place their markers at the same time. Place your markers facing you, so your opponents can't see the numbers on them. (Teammates can look at each other's markers.) The "X" order marker is a decoy: you can place them on any army card, just to keep your opponent guessing.
                        
During play, when you flip over your turn markers, you resolve the movement and attacks as follows:
a) the unit(s) with an order marker with the white dot get to MOVE only                        
b) the unit(s) with an order marker with the red dot get to ATTACK only                        
c) the unit(s) with an order marker without any dots gets their regular MOVE & ATTACK                        
                        
NOTE: The unit(s) with the WHITE dot cannot use any of the special abilities on their card that are not related to movement. The unit(s) with the RED dot cannot use any of the special abilities on their card that are not related to attack or damage.  Consult the table at the end of this document that indicates which special abilities are usable with the WHITE markers and which are usable with the RED markers. The main philosophy in deciding what specials apply to the MOVE only, ATTACK only, or both is based on the following:
...If the special is primarily focused on Movement, it only gets to be used when an order marker is used for movement.                        
...If the special is primarily focused on Attack or Damage, it only gets to be used when an order marker is used for attack.                        
...If the special is defensive in nature or completely unrelated to movement / attack, it gets to be used with any order marker.                        
                        
With the rule that you can only place 3 order markers on any one Army Card, there will be a time that you have more markers than you are able to use for your cards. With 3 sets of markers in play for each player, there are 12 order markers for each player. When a player gets down to 3 cards, it makes sense that they would probably want to eliminate using the decoy markers to bring them down to 9 markers, (3 cards with 3 markers max = 9 markers). When a player gets down to 1 or two army cards in play, the choices get tougher and somewhat more strategic. The player must choose which markers out of the 9 they will use for each round. Some time it is best to play with a choice that allows more movement, other times you will want to favor more attacks and aggression.

Victory Points Used for HeroScape Games
Decide which of these is in use before the scenario is published.

PTS...How To Get Points (Condition)
025...First Blood (Combat only)
025...First Kill - Squad Member (Combat only)
100...First Kill - Entire Squad (Combat only)
100...First Kill - Hero (Combat only)
100...Kill a General
200...Eliminate a Player
050...At the end of each round, if you are on an enemy start base you get 50 pts.

When a unit is killed you get the value of that unit as determined by the full value of the card / # of units on the card, (Round up). At the end of the game each player scores points for units remaining in play. The value per unit is determined by the full value of the card / # of units on the card, (Round up).

Instant Victory Conditions (Must be decided prior to the game).
• Eliminate all other players.

If a player is eliminated by another player, they are out and their points are forfeit. If the player is eliminated by another means, i.e. zombies, then their points are frozen and they still may be a victor at game end depending on their points. A player may not inflict damage on themselves to qualify for this, if a player is eliminated based on their own actions, then their points are also forfeit.

Optional Rule: Player may cash in 150 points in chips for a random glyph pull.

This is a thread to share HeroScape Army builds.

Feel free to post your army builds here as well.

Bixby's House Rules for HeroScape


We are getting ready for a few weeks (months) of HeroScape Game play. To that end, here are some of the old Army builds that we used back in the day. It can be quite complex to build a HeroScape army with this many units in the HeroScape product lineup. This thread will be used to capture army builds over game sessions. It will give players the opportunity to choose a pre-drafted army instead of selecting individual units to make their own. Feel free to suggest additions to this Roster...

Here is a good online army builder that has all of the units: BUILD YOUR ARMY

I am borrowing this idea from another site that I belong to. The basic premise is you post what games are hitting your table. It let's others know what is being played and can be a way to learn about new games or campaigns. Applies to boardgames, wargames, role playing games, etc.

So, what game is hitting your table?

Hey there.

Just got an iPad and was wondering if there were some recommended apps for Boardgame utilities or play aids. Such as timers, score pads, or anything else that comes to mind. I am quite an iN00b so I look forward to any recommendations folks might have.
