PLAYTEST OF TRIAL OF THE TRIAD GAME 2

In a dramatic and exciting game worthy of a good fantasy novel or film, the Orcs pinned back the pointy ears of the fancy Elves in a stunning win of Game 2: Got the Stones? Both games were solitaired in 2 Player versions in a single day, indicating the success of the "Mini-Campaign" format in providing a complete adventure in a compressed time. The first play with live players will be Thursday Nov. 6 at my place. Experienced HEROSCAPE players are welcome to join in!

The action of this 1,000 point Gotterdamerung was much to complex to narrate fully, but here are a few key moments:

*Elven archers desperatly charging and taking out the Orc Minigun (gatling machine gun)!

*Elf Price Skytree Starborn cutting his way across a bridge through 3 of 4 Berserk Albino Orcs before succumbing, the swords of his enemies inspired by the dreaded Ornac waving his Orc Command Banner nearby!

*Swift Orc Swog Riders, including the GenCon giveaway figure Nerak the Glacian Swog Rider, swooping away up the ridge with two of the stones!

*Derac the Orc Duelling Champion pummeling elf sorceress Jordawn into pulp, only to have his special powers taken away by Morsbane after five attempts at casting the spell of his Rod of Negation!

* Elven female Warriors of Ashra attacking Heavy Grut Orcs on the road, and climbing the mountain to confront Orc War Chief Barak high atop a mountain!

*Elf sorceror Sonlen dragon swooping advancing Orc Ripper War Band infantry to screen the flank of the final elven assault, which was to prove too little, too late!

If you like HEROSCAPE or just want to check it out, come see my large collection of ALL of the Official Figures plus many Custom Figures and even Custom Terrain, along with the original Shiny Water Hexes and lots of other cool stuff. Its a delightful and simple design, which is great fun both to assemble the board and play. Try out this year's GenCon give away figure Agent Skahen. Thrill to the mind clouding powers of my own custom comissioned and just arrived figure Lamont Cranston, The Shadow. In another month, feel the power of my new Mongol Army! Hoo kids, this is scary. Heroscape--in my humble opinion, the best of the new simple games, with beautiful figures and equipment.
