OK I'm seeing some data come in, I see at least one source of errors. Submitting a fix in 1.3.6.

I see 1.3.6 went live but I am still having issues.

Gray screen when browsing my Games In-Progress/Completed/Setups. This is on both MS Edge and Google Chrome. I have tried logging out and back in, clearing all cookies and browser history with no luck.

Also on my iOS app I get a gray screen only on the "Completed" part of games.

@NickDub Could you update the OP with the new GG2 Round 4 please?

Edit: Also on the Round 4 map, how is Terrain on top of the hill handled? Is the Forest effectively Ht5 and the Rocks effectively Ht3? Is the Shadow cast by the Rocks 3" long? Should the Hill have the Dense trait so that a Ht 2 model doesn't see a Ht2 model on the other side of the inner rim? Will the +Ht apply to any Terrain markers placed on top of that hill as well?

1. The forest is ht 3 on top of ht 2 terrain (effective ht 5)
2. The blocking terrain is ht 1 and will only cast a 1" shadow
3. I will check to see if its required for adding dense. The goal is to not allow 2x ht2 models on opposite sides of the ht2 hill to be able to draw LoS. Thats the intention and I will add a trait if needed. Consulting the rules-lawyering-gods as we speak 😃
4. Yes, Terrain Ht + Marker Ht = Total Ht (Ice pilar on ht2 hill would effectively be ht 6 if measured from the lowest point of the map)

There are 2 types of Guild players

Nick did you see my edit though, when your models base is hanging over the edge of a catwalk is it also in severe?

 

Sorry Ceodoc! I did not see that.

Any part of your base that overhangs/touches the water would be considered severe and would impede movement.

Dang funny River then. Not a NB player obviously! 🤪

 

I am still salty about a waldgeist "Heave'ing" my Judge that was 14" away into the middle of his Zoraida crew to get murdered. Can't make it that easy 😃

Map 1, Lazy River.

Is the river a single piece of severe terrain or 4 separate pieces?

 

Great Question! They are treated as 4 separate pieces and I will update player pack!

Thanks!

I love the world series, but I would like to play in a league as well especially as GG2 should be release soon.

I'm kind of Jealous of the UK super league and I'm wondering if enough north american player (or actually any player from all America's) would be interested by a league of our own. 

Nothing against all the really nice European players, but it's so much easier to play with people that are not 7 time zone away...

So, if your interested what would be your prefer format for such a league (rules set, and league setting).

Here are my preferred league format (but honestly I would play in almost anything 😁) :

I like an open league based on Elo (you can play as many match as you want; so there's no pressure to play a game on a specific week if you're super busy). Elo rating determines the ranking, you must do everything you can to accept a challenge from a player that have a lower rating than you) in a reasonable amount of time. The player with the lowest ranking choosed the map. Either players agree on a scenario or generate one randomly. 

I would use GG2 rules set, no DMH (sorry @ooshawn but they are just not balance for competitive play). I would use the same FAQ as the one used by the World Series Committee. That's it (so yes to double master, no hiring restrictions). 

This is a fantastic idea and would love to play in and contribute to the success of this league!

Bro can we please get a community errata dmh. I wanna try out collodi 

Ill mention it, but its most likely a no due to competitive nature of this event.....BUT!..... you and I can play sometime and you try Collodi

UPDATE!  - Player Pack Attached!

FYI - If a new Gaining Grounds is released by Friday 4/2, a new player pack will be provided with updated strategy and scheme pools.

Nothing out of the ordinary. 50ss, single master, no DMH.

I will have 4 new maps that will be part of the next Vassal Module and hopefully we will have a new Gaining Grounds 😃

I f I understood well did Shenlong moved strat markers? what do you mean by flip it to TT?

His Wandering Style Upgrade lets you choose a target, pick up markers within 3" pulse, move that model 6", and drop markers of same type. Rules state when dropping markers they are always friendly to you, so he can change scheme markers

Seems like all the playing with yourself could really screw you over once the opponent knows what you are on about, specially with the Distracted trick. Faced a Rasputina that was placing ice pillars blocking Shenlong constantly, so moral of the story, he only managed to attack once in like turn 4, rest of the time he ended up swapping between Low River and Wandering River since thankfully he can do whatever is needed at a given moment.

True lesson of that story, bring marker removal into raspy. 

Guild Lawyer to Obey 2 models to concentrate (gain fast instead)

I never put distracted on shenlong. If you do, you have to do the fermented river style and I'd like to swap to whichever suits me better. I use wandering a lot, then suddenly swap to low river to heal a friend etc.

The first round Chi/Distracted loadout is good for alpha strike and first activation of round 2. After that, you should have a good idea of the game state and adapt from there. Distracted 4 is easy burn through in 2 activations.

If you want to calm down an aggressive master, get 2 samurai with the Trained Ninja upgrades. It’s a commitment but it puts pressure on the opponent.

Another interesting combo of Asami+Cabe is if opponent wasn't smart enough and placed his models close to each other Asami can push McCabe through such croud up to 3 times. And with Shen instead of Asami you can do this 5 times (with the help of the students).

Ah yes! That would severely piss off an opponent 😃 "How many duels?!"

Flight Mv6, pulse heal, bonus action to interact with a card draw trigger with a 6tombs.

I Wanted to hit my half’s turf markers then make way over center line. I also bluffed power ritual since it was a min investment with the bonus interact.

Akaname I feel is a better summon then a hire in this crew since you can lock up charge lanes with his reach, will be closer to McCabe to drop scrap (if he survived long enough) and potentially pick up opponents “power ritual” corner marker then drop my own “breakthrough” marker. Having Asami double walk and summon 2 models 6’’ away right in the mix of the cluster. Seemed to work well
