Welcome to “Gaming with Neoscream”. This is my
weekly gaming report and event write up post for miniature games, RPGs, card
games and computer games. If you have not read my posts on Tuesday or Friday, I
have decided to split the "Gaming with Neoscream" post into two
posts. Fridays there will be the "Gaming News from Neoscream" post
which covers the next and painting sections, while Sunday will have
"Gaming with Neoscream" which covers events and new house rules if
any.
This Week's Events
On Thursday I went down to York House to play some
games of HeroClix. This week we
were helping Darren S test his team foe a ROC tournament. My tactic was to
boosted Iron Man's defence to 19/20 to make him hard to hit topped with a fifth
percent chance of reducing damage to 0. All apart from Darren S's team will be
listed in the Armies section.
In the first round I was up against Darren S who was
using a themed team. Due to the fact he might be using the team in the ROC
tournament I will not be revealing his team. If I remember I will do it next
week. Like normal against Darren S, I lost. I would write more about it,
however that would mean I would have to reveal his team sadly. Also Adrian won
his game against his brother Michael.
In the second round I was up against Michael who was
using an Excalibur themed team. The hammers were a nightmare as his attack
values were boosted by +2 and my dice rolls were crap. I lost this game with
out doing any real damage. Also Darren S won his game against Adrian.
In the third and final round I was up against Adrian
who was using an X-Men themed team. This game was more closer as I did KO both
Shadowcat (I hate having to do attack her) and a very unlucky Longshot. However
I lost the game. Also Darren S won his game against Michael.
Over all Darren S won this week candidates I came
dead last. Darren S might not be using the team he used unless it looks like
other people will be cheesy on the day with their teams.

| Next Months card |
For those who are wanting to know, the other games
happening at York House were Warhammer Fantasy, DBMM, Warhammer 40,000 and Mansion
of Madness.
On Friday I went to this month’s High Command tournament
at Wargames Workshop MK. We had an extra play this month so we decided to do
two five play games. To make this work (as it technical is designed for four
player max) we merged both the Warmachine and Hordes location decks to a larger
deck. Sadly I did not win ever game. I got four place in the first one and
third in the second one.
Saturday was International TableTop Day and on that
day at Wargames Workshop MK we had a DreadBall tournament. As there was only
six of us, it was decided that we would play it as a standard league but
without MVP as they would slow things down and be over powered. I went for my Battle Angels (Season Two Corporation)
again.
On the first round I was up ageist Rob C who was
using his Forge Father. This was a close game where I for some weird reason got
a blooding nose out of the blue, but it ended with a draw. With the money I
earned, I could get my AJ Lee coach.
 |
| This lead to a ruling question I will have to ask Jack Thornton at Salute. That is if he is them. |
On the second round I was up ageist Ian who was
using a Season One Corporation team. I managed to white wash him, but I had to
replace my number three Jack. With the remaining money I had left picked up a
card. Finally I can give a play four acts (not including free ones) a turn that
is if I get the right coaching roll and card in my hand. Also my number five
Striker went up a Rank and gained the skill Roll.
We stopped for a launch break and then went on to
round three. I was up ageist Rob Taylor who was using Teraton team. He manage
to kill my number three Jack (again) and my number five Striker, however I did
manage to win the game with another white wash. With the money I earn this game
I replaced my two dead players and got a second Guard. Also my number one and
eight Strikers and my number seven Jack all went up a Rank. Both Strikers
gained +1 to their Skill value while the Jack gained +1 to her Strength
value.
On the fourth round I was up ageist Rob F (yes, four
out of the six players were named Robert) and he was using a Marauder team. Yet
again I lost two players and white washed my opponent. It was number one and
seven who dead this time. I decided to use all my money earned to resurrect
both of them as they had good advancements.

Over all I won the league (by one point) and scored
the highest total fan check too, which gives me extra points to the Grand
Championship. Rob Taylor got second place and Rob F scored the most recovery
rounds (sadly I cannot remember the other results and there are not up on the Guardians
of Tyr site). The Grand Championship results are not up yet, but I did do some
rough calculations and I am at first play with 34 points.
