Last Wednesday night was something special at the good old FLGS. This was our first week with our official new press ganger PG_TheGreatBlah of Trollblood Scrum! blog. Our group decided to take a page out of the St. Louis communities experiments with alternative game formats. We chose to go after a 1-1-1-1 game…only we played it sligtly different.
For those of you unfamiliar with 1-1-1-1, it really is quite simple. You pick one warcaster / lock, one beast/jack, one unit, and one solo. They have to add up to 350 or less points. The 350 really keeps it balanced. If you don’t set a common point level to build to, it unbalances the factions something fierce. That being said…we took some “liberties” with the basic rules.
We recently had the release celebration tourney thingie for L5R’s Celestial Edition. This meant new starter decks for every faction, the possibility to have decks purely assembled from cards with the new layout, and for me, a quandary.
“Well Hurly our first team is captained by Magnus the Traitor who’s a mean SOB with a pretty big chip on his shoulder!”
“Very true Hurly. Our next team hails from near Khador country. Vayl is so cold hearted she makes a block of ice seem like a warm comfy blanket. Many people find being in her preasence very unpleasent.”
“Our third team this match also Hails from the icy north of Khador. No one is quit sure how old the Old Witch is but she is certainly a fan favorite on this circuit and would be a favourite to win today.”
“You’ve got that right Glomp! Our last team is from the embattled realm of Cygnar and Captained by Siege. While reletively new to the circuit Siege has proven himself a very capable team leader.”
