We had game night for Z’s birthday this past Saturday. Terry and Barry showed up so we played a little Heroscape. Terry had let us borrow his huge set for a while prior so Z was ready to play.
The game was a lot of fun. Three 400 point armies and a large battle area. We started about 9:00pm and the game went down to the last man on each team! Barry won with his fraidy cat Marcus Decimus Gallus. Marcus had hidden behind a ruin for much of the game while the MacDirks had protected him. Finally he ventured out to battle Terry’s Marro Warriors, who kept coming back!, and my Seduma and Paratroopers. The MarroWarriors took out most everybody. Marcus finally managed to take out my last man to win. With an ace! It was a great game. We looked at the clock – 1:10am. 4 hours of Heroscape goodness.
It’s a shame the height I built into that Heroscape board doesn’t really come across. Oh, well.
Oh, and since I didn’t do it at the time, I accuse you retroactively of kingmaking, since you offed my last Marro. :p
Seriously, though, I had a great time. I wish I got the opportunity for Heroscape more often, but it is (as shown by your recap) pretty time-consuming. If we ever manage to get an even number of players, maybe we could try a team game. I could believe that might speed things up a bit.
