Scrooged

Suggested by Jon

 

Set up: Normal

 

Special Rules: At the end of the First Turn, your Leader gains the following Ability:

“Visited: If this model is in play during the Upkeep phase, you may score VP from the Spirited special rules. If this model is not in play at the end of the turn, return it to play at the start of the next turn in your deployment zone with half damage.”

At the start of each turn, a new Spirited special rule will come into play.

 

*Turn Two Spirited special rule: ‘A sloppy taxied past” After all models have activated, the First player may place a Scheme marker into play anywhere on the table. The second player may then do the same. If the scheme marker is in line of sight of a model with the Visited Ability, gain 1 VP.

 

*Turn Three Spirited special rule: “ A painful pixied present” All model, but models with the Visited Ability, deal +1 damage on all Attack Actions for this turn. If a model with the Visited Ability dealt at least 2 damage to an enemy model or suffered at least 2 damage from an enemy model, gain 1 VP.

 

*Turn Four Spirited special rule: “A grim dark future” If at least one enemy model is killed or sacrificed this turn, gain 1 VP. At the start of the next turn, place a copy of one of the models killed or sacrificed this turn into its controller’s deployment zone, the controller may pick the model.

 

*Turn Five Spirited special rule: “Put a little love in your heart” Any damage dealt by a model with the Visited Ability heals that much damage instead for this turn. If at least one enemy model is healed at least 3 damage by a model with the Visited Ability, gain 1VP.

Victory: The player that scores the most VP, wins the encounter.

No one played this one, but I am no quitter. Here was this week's encounter:

 

Smoky Mountains Christmas

Suggest by Jose

 

Set Up- Place one 30mm Lorna Marker in the center of the table. Players should then flip a card and take turns placing 30mm Orphan Markers on the table. No Orphan Marker should be placed within 8” of any deployment zone and not within 6” of any other Orphan Marker. There will be seven Orphan Markers placed in total. After the last Orphan Marker is placed, the other player will place a 30mm Witch Marker on the centerline within 3” of the table edge. All Markers are Ht 2 (Ht 1 for Orphan Markers), Blocking, and Impassible.

 

Specials- All models gain the following Ability, “She’s an angel: This model may discard a card if within LOS of the Lorna Marker to make a 1 / 2 / 3 Healing flip.”

Any model within 1” of an Orphan Marker may (1) Interact with it to move it 6”.

After all models have activated, the Witch Marker will move 6” towards the closest Orphan Marker. If the Witch Marker is within 1” of the Orphan Marker, remove it from the table. If the Witch Marker is not within a 1” of an Orphan Marker and within 6” of any other model, that model gains Poison +2 and Slow conditions. If neither of the above condition at met, the Witch Marker will push 4” towards the closest Orphan Marker.

 

Victory- At the end of the encounter, players gain 1VP for each Orphan Marker within their Deployment zone. You may gain up to 4VP from this .

Here was this Monday's encounter. It went over quite well. 

 

The Nightmare before Christmas

Suggested by Mariah

 

Set Up- Place 5 30mm Gift Markers along the centerline. One is placed at the center of the table. Then, two more are placed on the centerline 6" away from the center of the table (one on each side). Lastly, two more are placed on the centerline 6" away from table's edge (one on each side).

 

Special- A model may take a (1) Interact Action to destroy all Gift Markers within 6" of itself, and then place a Gift Marker in base contact with itself. This action can only be taken if at least one Gift Marker is removed in this way. For each Gift Marker removed in this way, flip a card.

 

Crow: A Shrunken head- the model must pass a TN 12 Horror duel.

Rams: Evil Ducky-the model must pass a TN 12 Df duel or suffer 1 / 2 / 3 damage.

Mask: Vampire Dolly- the model must pass TN 12 Wk duel or suffer 1 / 2 / 3 damage.

Tome: Sand Worm?- the model must pass a TN 12 Wk duel or gain the Slow condition.

 

All models in the encounter gain the following Attack Action:

What’s this? ( Sh 7c / Rst Df / Rg 8”) Target suffers 0 / 1 / 1 damage and gains Slow.

(Trigger) (C) What’s This? After success, take this action again. This action may not declare triggers.  

 

Victory Points- At the end of each Turn after the first a Crew earns 1 VP if there are more Gift Markers on the opponent's half of the table than its own. Gift Markers on the centerline do not count for either side.

Due to some terrible weather in my parts, the last day of the achievement was cancelled, but will be hosted on Jan 4th to make up for that. The encounter for that day will be post on Friday.

A little late on the update, but still here. Here is the last encounter for the league. We will see how well it goes over.
