Scenario: Defend the Waystones

#1 Post by Truthiness »

To celebrate our new book, I recently challenged my friends to play 6000 point games against my High Elves. I decided to create a new scenario out of scratch. You can find it on my blog, here. Any thoughts, comments, or concerns?

Looks fun. I hope you do a battle report on that game. One thing that struck me odd was that once a high elf wizard stabilizes a stone it can't be toppled again. Seems unfair for the attacker since it's one of the only ways of denying points to the high elves.

I'd also say the attacker should get first turn unless the high elf player rolls a 6. They're defending their homeland and thus are reactionary. The enemy should have the initiative!

Good point about the reactive position of the High Elves in this scenario. I'll switch the positions up.

I went with the no re-toppling simply out of logic. The HE mage isn't physically putting the waystone back up, he's just stopping it from eventually killing us all. From a game play perspective it might be worth considering though, but I feel like it is very easy to topple the Waystone, while it is fairly difficult for the High Elf player to stabilize it. A level 2 wizard is going to have a very hard time and losing a level 4 for a whole magic phase is pretty big deal. I think switching the starting positions might be enough to compensate for not being able to re-topple a Waystone.
