Hey everyone! The Armoury Wargames and Hobbies in Fairhaven, MA is holding a charity event on Saturday, Feb 29th to benefit disaster relief for Puerto Rico, including a 50 stone Gaining Grounds tournament. The event will be posted to the USFT. Hope to see you there! https://facebook.com/events/s/games-day-charity-event/504729420182136/?ti=icl

Oh wow, totally missed this reply. It's at The Armoury, 67 Huttleston Ave, Fairhaven

There are plenty of players south, near the Rhode Island border

I think the biggest issue is the efficiency of Fermented River. There's no reason his best damage style needs to be the style that gives him a free six inch move through models. You only ever consider reaching for High River, ostensibly his "damage" style, for Ruthless. I say consider because you likely just stay in FRS and cheat the terrifying. There's hardly any choice in his play style. I think FRS needs a hit, but also thAt HRS needs a buff.

If you want a look at strong performers then looking only at wins or podium finishes is the wrong way to go. What you want to do is look at all of the x-1 finishes (or x-2 in particularly large events) or better. In a large event the difference between second and sixteenth can be as little as the order in which you played your opponents. You can be playing for first at the final table, lose, and drop to tenth. Anyone making their way through a five round tournament with a single loss is a strong showing and should be accounted for even if they miss out on a medal.

There were a lot of henchmen who claimed they'd allow DMH when it was announced. I'm not sure how many will follow through, but here's hoping...

So you would use the bonus to interact first, then use regular interact actions from there. Works the same, just a different order of operation.

Just a few more days

I'm trying to organize some locals to head down as well

In GG2020, give us some means to play DMH. Even if I have to declare single master, even if I can't hire a second master, even if I have to pick a single scheme. There's no reason to have it be so stigmatized. It's far less dangerous than dual master. But I'm just an old man shouting at clouds.

What's the reason for the power gap?

Thanks! I feel kind of silly missing that.

Not the first time I’ve seen this, but I can’t find the ability to do so on the M3e card. Am I missing something?

Looks like Ramos is getting a chance to head to The OtherSide. Take a look at the story scenario. I know where I'll be voting (Sorry Marcus. The Order is cool and all, but you're not being the 8 ball)

Every time a friendly construct is killed within 6? he heals 2

I got mad at that too. Also, he wasn't healing as his spiders dropped.

That's what happens when I go by memory of a story I read three weeks ago!

. . . . . As the world's #1 Ramos fanboy, it's good to see him in trouble. He's been too slick, too cool, too bulletproof for too long. He needed to be put on his back foot. It's better for the story than every single thing goes his way always. This twist gives Toni some better character beyond "hits things for the boss" and gives her a sturdier place in the story. I felt like it was telegraphed a little too much, as folks were calling this turn when last book was released. On another note, I think it feels a little disrespectful to the entire history of American slavery and the fight for emancipation that literally nothing matters except for a backroom deal offered by the metaphorical devil. A white guy buys another white guy, paying for it with the freedom of the slaves. I don't think it's too awful, just a tad insensitive. I can't wait to see what Kaeris does when she gets a chance to react to this nonsense. If she could do half of what she does in the fluff on the table, she'd be amazing. I'm sure she won't take this lying down. And I feel like Colette has to get involved in some way, otherwise she's no longer got a purpose in the story.

Ramos is the only model in his box without an alternate sculpt. I can't stand either current Blessed. I'd love an emissary whose look harkens back to the effigy, rather than being completely unrelated. I'm sure something fun could be done for Angelica.

Your math is definitely better than my 6 am insomniac rambling math. I still think we will see an upsurge in her use, her power level, and I really think six months from now people will be complaining. Not everyone, mind you, but she'll go from "how do I play her?" to "What tricks can I use against her?"

I was assuming the upgrade. I should have stated as such.

Some Ironsides math: Hank flurries on Toni. Average damage on hit is 4 and change on negative flip. Stone for reduction, average 2 and change, gain adrenaline. You end with 6 damage, 3 adrenaline, and you've dealt about 6 back. You activate, gain 4th adrenaline, finish Langston, heal 4. If you're playing the emissary, 5. Regen mage, you're full. If you get a clean line on any key model with a low minimum, your lure becomes a better attack than swinging. You get up to six chances to make your enemy hit you, dealing 2/3/4 back, and at the end of it all you heal back up--if their minimum is 1, you essentially took nothing.

It was explained in the gameplay demo video that titans still only take one point of damage to kill. Just one. You need ASSETS assigned to these titans for them to not just die when something looks at them. Even a low strength unit could cheat high to put one point on a titan, and that's that. So the 6 titan list is completely impractical, as you would be spending all of your points on the titans and none on the assets used to keep them alive. That'd be a giant mess. And I'm guessing the reason Goryshche has a lower armor value is because he can discard a card to add an asset which, if I'm listening to the example of play right, will be able to be sacrificed to reduce damage twice. It's a different kind of durability.
