My Wife Keri and I played Heroscape last Weds night with our friends David & Jenny, after an amazing dinner, David is an awesome cook, we cleared the table and then setup a random creatively inspired map.We split into 4 teams 3 300 point armies and 1 person who had the Castle got 150 points. Keri picked the castle and spent her 150 points on Mimring, David started in the upper left corner of the map with the Deathwalker 2000, Obsidian Guards and the Izumi Samurai, & Jenny started in the lower right corner with the Deathstalkers, Dzu-Teh, Venoc Vipers & Anubian Wolves.and I started with Agent Carr and 2 group of the Krav Maga Agents, I later have learned that the Krav Maga Agents are a Unique Squad and you can only play with 1 group, I had read the rules about Unique Leaders, but didn't catch on that there were Unique Squads also.
On the first turn both Jenny and I realized that our map we made only allowed for 1 way for us to get our troops out of the starting area creating a bottle neck for getting our troops into play.
For me I had to move for 2 turns up a steep cliff to get out, but this gave me a perfect area coverage on the map with my ranged troops, Jenny was not so lucky her one way out led into the direct path of the Dragon Mimring. David first turn could have proved troublesome also as after his move he had the Obsidian Guards and the Izumi Samurai lined up perfectly for Mimrings 8 space attack, Keri didn't make the attack so we could play more rounds of the game.
Rounds 3 had a nice face off between the Deathwalker 2000 and Agent Carr, the Death Stalker had a good position to shoot his Explosive attach at my choke point killing lots of the Krav Maga Agents, so I had to get Agent Carr out there to distract the Deathwalker, it was a close battle but the Deathwalker 2000 finally dropped, Then Agent Carr decided to take a swing at a Izumi Samurai and promptly died from the counter strike damage, Lesson learned don't melee the Samurai.
The end game was 2 Krav Maga Agents vs Mimring, Agents got a lucky hit and it was all over.
