****************************************************************************** ** ** ** H'Pak Match Summary for 2002 0426: ** ** ** ****************************************************************************** Note: NKI is Vol this Match :) _____________________________________________________________________________ +020426 2240 BTV Twister v StB - TS Wins Twister v1.2 / Twister v.2 (4 teams light) FFA 3: Terd St. Ain, Vol, Baak'lor Baak takes the top of the hill and waits... After fending off several Wights, Baak finds himself between TS and Vol and though he does fairly well against Vol, he decides to retreat - this is a big mistake as his army appears totally confused! Baak and Vol hack at each other while TS quietly takes over the hill... _____________________________________________________________________________ +020426 2303 BTV Leagues f^ StB - Baak Wins Leagues from Nowhere / Leagues from Nowhere FFA 3: Terd St. Ain, Vol, Baak'lor Baak decided to pus up on this one, maxing out on Ghols and Wights. Part way through this somewhat messy procedure, Baak notices Dwarf Mortar shells lying nearby and loads up a few Ghols with these... :) Meanwhile, Baak hits TS with several Cannon shots and Vol comes in on TS's other side. In the midst of the chaos, Baak sneaks in the first squad of Ghols against TS - it's devastating! Vol grabs the Bacon and runs but Baak is pursuing with two more squads of Ghols - one of which is *very* successful! In the end it's a great chase! _____________________________________________________________________________ *020426 2321 BTV Leagues f^ StB - Vol Wins Leagues from Nowhere / Leagues from Nowhere FFA 3: Terd St. Ain, Vol, Baak'lor (Baak discovered in the previous game that there are extra Dwarf Mortars on the field that the Ghols can pick up and throw - this time everyone knows!) Baak starts at the center on the Bacon and quickly moves to the edge of the central ridge of mountains. He and TS get into it quickly with several give and take mini-battles, that end in the destruction of both of their Cannons. Meanwhile, Baak moves his Ghol squad within Cannon-shot of Vol (without know- ing it!) and loses them in a frenzy of Cannonballs (one of which takes out Vol's Archers!). Baak leaves the area and TS tags the Bacon, only to be picked at by Vol's Cannon and Baak's forces that have returned. It's a *very* close ending: TS would have won if not for having to move the Bacon over hilly terrain (in fact, it is contested by Baak with less than half a second remaining!), and Baak would have won if his Dorfs were a little more organized! lol! Great Game!! _____________________________________________________________________________ +020426 2344 BTV Leagues f StB - Vol Wins Leagues from Nowhere / Leagues from Nowhere FFA 3: Terd St. Ain, Vol, Baak'lor LOL!! You know how sometimes you decide to sneak in on your enemy and then once you start you just can't stop? This is a *classic* case! Watch TS sneak in on Baak! Of course, in the meantime Vol is wondering: "Where are these guys?" There's a bit of a mad rush at the end, but it's too far away to take it away from Vol... _____________________________________________________________________________ +020426 2355 BTV Heart of KoH - Baak Wins Heart of Darkness_v1.1 / - If I Had A Bunyip... FFA 3: Terd St. Ain, Vol, Baak'lor Funk! A Bunyip is a modified Myrk that's bigger than a regular Myrk but not as big as a Myrk Giant - they're fast and can climb up steep hills though! Also this KoH was with TWO KoH BALLS! Funk! TS grabs one - Vol grabs the other - TS and Vol get into it and there's a devastating assault by TS's Dorf Heroes! Unfortunately for Vol, he doesn't notice that his Herons are sitting on *16* dropped Dorf Satchels - but Baak notices! lol! The blast moves Vol's KoH Ball closer to TS - Baak sneaks in his two Bunyips and assassinates TS's Fetch and Soulless - meanwhile Vol tries to get back his Ball from TS - finally Baak charges in... _____________________________________________________________________________ 020427 0007 BTV GreenAcre KoH - Baak Wins GreenAcres / Green Acres FFA 3: Terd St. Ain, Vol, Baak'lor Oh man, Baak is in Ghol Heaven tonight! lol! One of Baak's Ghols tosses in a pus packet at the center and stuns *TWELVE* guys! (one of them perishes) A new record! Another of Baak's Pus Ghols notices *two* of Vol's Wights are heading to the center flag - and you know what that means! BOOOOM! Once the mess is cleared away, the rest of Baak's army arrives... _____________________________________________________________________________ +020427 0024 BTV sunburn KoH - Baak Wins sunburn / Sunburn (Dusk) RZD 2 Team: Vol & Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor (This game was Randomized to 2 Team - not sure why! - FFA 4 map with setting for maximum of 2 Teams, but this shouldn't do it! Funk!) Three Flag KoH! Several feints and counter-feints ends with Baak ahead a bit, but this is soon leveled out by a Vol/TS Warlock that wouldn't die! ... Well he did - FINALLY! :) Some good back and forth mini-battles where you weren't sure exactly how it was going to come out! _____________________________________________________________________________ 020427 0035 BTV Redsand_v StB - Baak Wins Redsand_v1 / Red Sand, Black Blood (Trow) FFA 3: Vol, Baak'lor, Terd St. Ain We played this "King of the Ball" (KoH using the Bacon Ball) - though tough to calculate when one person survives (and the game ends) it does make for an interesting 3-way FFA game! Baak sneaks the Ball from between TS and Vol using a single Spider - TS ends up with the Ball at the edge of the field - Baak tries to snipe Vol's Dorfs from behind only to be shredded by a dead-on Mortar shot (nice shot, Vol!) - but then Baak must send in the Myrk Assassins to get those Dorfs! lol! When Baak finally arrives at the Ball, TS and Vol have been going at it a bit and Baak's Melee force is pretty daunting! _____________________________________________________________________________ Legend: * = Game Of The Week + = Game Of The Week Runner Up $ = Deciding Game to win The Sacred Sword & Axe of Shaal'a Manx ^ = Deciding Game to defend The Sacred Sword & Axe of Shaal'a Manx s = Slide Show Notes: This week also included more training for HedgeSnake, including two wins on The Wall (Normal no less!) - still The Great Library on Normal is pretty tough! Also a quick 2-team Baak/HS vs. TS/NKI - lucky it was practice! (it was *not* pretty! lol!) ______________________________________________________________________________
