This would be the last I would ever want to do. Almost the entire point of miniature games for me are the miniatures, boardgames using chits/meeples usually have much tighter rules and balance. As an extension I'm flabbergasted that there are tournaments to allow unpainted miniatures. In my mind community activities should always work to showcase and encourage the painted miniature part of the hobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her box includes Ikiryo, which cannot be hired, and as such you can't fulfill the requirement of using the entire box unless your opponent makes you. Maybe you would then lose any game in which Ikiryo wasn't summoned? I guess this ties into Solkans comments regarding creative formats. I don't think this is necessarily a bad format for an event (more than a tournament), but there is the problem of treating crew boxes differently, and if a new player bought a particular box because (s)he liked the master, and that box turned out to be one of the less playable boxes, in this format (s)he wouldn't have the option of buying a couple more minis to improve the crew. On the other hand it does force players to try things they normally wouldn't, and that is in my opinion a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazlord_Prime Posted October 8, 2016 Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 So @bleedge05 - after all that heated discussion, how did the tourny actually pan out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flinroz Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 1st - Mcmourning 2nd - Reva or Asami (I can't remember which, I believe they were playing each other for 2nd) 3rd- Rasputina I think got 4th or 5th with Zipp, not sure didn't pay a ton of attention to the points 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleedge05 Posted October 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Yeah 2nd was Asami, he played against a Reva player for 2nd place. I thought the tournament went great. A good time was had by all I hope. One thing I really liked was seeing the combinations on the table that aren't very common and it made each game have a little bit of extra flavor. Plus at the end of the tournament we all had to write a mini story about our crew for the day. It was a fun way to decompress after the day and share a few laughs with everyone there. Thanks to Mario for putting on the tournament! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
