Heroscape night is this Friday, so last night I got out my Heroscape cards and drafted 3 armies. Here's what I went with.Team 1- 500 pts
Spartacus
Crixus
Capuan Gladiators (x3)
Team 2 - 490 pts
Grimnak
Heavy Gruts (x4)
Feral Troll
Team 3 - 510 pts
Braxas
Greenscale Warriors (x4)
Zetacron
Win condition, as suggested by Deroche, is "Kill the player on your left." Gladiators have to kill Team Braxas to win, while Team Braxas is trying to kill the Orcs, and the Orcs are trying to kill the Gladiators.
I took the center tree off the board and replaced it with an "Attack +1" glyph to give us all a reason to rush to the center.
My husband and I think these teams are roughly balanced. I'm a little concerned that the Gladiator team is going to get killed off too quickly. On the other hand, they have the most powerful commons (4 Att/4 Def), so if they can keep away from Grimnak, they might do well. Also, the non-Gladiator teams will actually have to make decisions about using the common squad + bonded hero vs. using the the non-bonding hero.
I welcome thoughts before playing--I can always change up the teams!
