Border Patrol

[Avatarbriman]

Just played my second ever tournament. A 500pt Border patrol, 4 games over the course of the day, with 3 scenario types. Secure objective, capture peasant and capture watchtower. Got to say the format was a lot more enjoyable than a 2k GT for myself personally, and I would recommend people give it a try.

List I brought, ended with 4 wins and best general. Phoenix guard in smaller games really take on all comers, with the noble blending through monstrous infantry and cavalry that charged.

Nice one what's the exact format of border patrol? It might be the only time the stormweaver shines as you can sneak in a level 3 into a seaguard list!

A level 3 would be too much points if as per the Secure the Watch tower scenario.

Where is this scenario written down?

Congrats, and a lovely painted army to boot! How much impact did you feel Ring of Fury had?

I love playing 500 point games, but our gaming group plays with a different set of rules for Army Comp to encourage variety. I haven't tried yet the Ring of Fury, but seems like it could be especially good if you get it off.

Kind regards,

Our event followed these rules, so a lot more restriction than just that scenario. Being limited to level 2 really restricted the power of wizards so there was a decent mix of combat heroes and wizards across the 28 players.

Ring of fury was MVP, 3 out of 4 games I was charged by Monstrous cavalry or infantry and then killed 1/2 before they even had a chance to act. Wizards being rare means much less chance of being dispelled luckily
