Hi folks!

Last weekend we're three MC fans in the house and we want play all of yours, and we try something different. Look at this picture:

As you see, we ignored the starting zones, and we play something like a "royal rumble", one after the other two, no mercy. As in normal MC story, the Capitol and Bauhaus forces almost killed each other, and The Brotherhood reach to "purify" the zone.

For your curiosity, the three factions were like this:

BAUHAUS

Bear Soldier

Bear Sargeant

Bear Captain

BROTHERHOOD

Elite Fury Guard

Elite Fury Bishop

Elite Fury Templar

CAPITOL

Free Marine

Martian Banshee Sargeant

Ranger Elite

We don't play yet with 5vs5vs5, but it would be possible... and fun.

Sounds like fun indeed ! I think your deployment format was good, though I think the force beginnning play in the upper side of the board was too exposed at the beginning - it would have had more places to hide if it had begun at the down side of the battlefield. Perhaps you should consider getting a second map to make a bigger battlefield for 5/5/5 (or even bigger) three-man games...

By the way, I think the Martian Banshee sergeant in the Capitol force should have been replaced with another ranger (a ranger duet being always better than a single ranger, and there weren't any big fig on the board, so there was no gain in having the Banshee sergeant's special ability).

I also don't like Bear sergeant in small scale games : it's too difficult to ever use their Savage Tactics... Seems to me a Venusian Ranger sergent would be much better for the spot (who said Vulkan Battlesuit ??) !

In fact, the Brotherhood force seemed to be the best build (though an Inquisitor is almost always better than a Fury Elite bronze trooper...) ! Fury Elite aren't used much, since most people rather use bullet-proof Inquisitors, but I think Fury Elites are much funnier to play (and the Templar melt faces...).

Thanks for the analysis, but don't worry about the armies, it's just an example and a test of this kind of game. In fact, the Capitol army is the starter box example, and the bear people was a recently adquisition for the bauhaus player (besides, the infiltration ability at this scale it's a very useful one)

We wanna experiment with different ways of playing, until FFG brings out the multiplayer rules.
