Yeah, I know, in NY right now, it's Thursday. Such is the life of a busy corporate hack with a side job of trying to make this game more popular all the time :-)
This article is going to get harder and harder to write with not many new minis to play around with, so today I want to talk about teams built for scenarios.
Sure, back when Worlds was shaking, everyone was clamoring about what to do with Capture the Flag. Then came along Hans, some German friends, and this Pozsgay fellow with a Rogue named Zomm. Everyone looked vexed, and then the Sap Hammers were laid down, and the smacketh thus began.
There are many fun scenarios out there, like Two Headed Ogre, CTF, and our most recent fun one, the King of the Hill. Today though, let's talk about one I find very interesting, the Arena matches. These have been held at large events like GenCon and Worlds, and some of you may have played them at your local BGs. These are matches where you have to build a team of 18 honor max, can not utilize Epics (and yes I think that means no Chen's either), and when your mini's die, that's it, caput, they are gone forever, never to respawn.
Last man standing wins.
It's like Sudden Death in Hockey... super fast, fun, and furious!
So if we have these restrictions, what would I play? What would you play? We'll here's a first suggestion for you if this becomes an option in your BGs or local fun play:
