Living Sentinels Campaign (Results Thread)

Here are my results;

Baron Blade was defeated.

No heroes were incapacitated.

Impending Casulaties was destroyed turn 1 by a Blinding Speed. It got resurrected by a Targeting Innocents, but was then destroyed the turn it came out.

Next Evolution was in play.  1 Blade Battalion was played and destroyed.

My results from this evening:

Hero Victory--Baron Blade defeated.

No heroes incapacitated (closest was Bunker at 14 hp!)

Impending Casualties came out twice total.  First time, was destroyed at end of environment turn.  Second time, by a Grappling Hook.

Next Evolution never entered play (never even entered Legacy's hand, actually).  2 Blade Battalions were destroyed.

Sat down and played a mean game of Sentinels this afternoon.

Things got off to a rocky start with 3 Hasten Dooms at the top of Baron Blade's deck, followed by a Blade Battalion! Legacy was down 10HP before the start of his turn!

The heroes fought him to a standstill, with many showing the meaning of self-sacrifice (Everyone in single figures, with Legacy at 2HP and Tachyon at 1!) but Legacy made an inspiring speech about fighting to his final breathe and believing in the inherent good in his fellow man, distracting Blade long enough for the police to come and take him out (Police Backup got in the final blow).

Hero Victory- Mad Bomber Behind Bars

No Heroes incapacitated

Impending Casualties was removed at the end of the first environment turn

Next Evolution entered play on the last turn!

3 Blade Battalions were killed by Baron Blade, 2 on the first side and 1 on the second

i assume we should play this on normal and not advanced?

Or does Advance Win count more points??

My friend and I weren't clear on which Baron Blade we should use... We went with Mad Bomber.

Results:

• Villain defeated (easily... That team worked against that villain really well...).

• No heroes incapacitated.

• No Next Evolution in play (it was on the top of Legacy's deck when Tachyon dealt the final blow of the battle).

• No Blade Battalions played.

• Impending casualty destroyed on the second hero turn in the first round by a grappling hook played by Wraith.

Forgive me, but I think our turn-counting might be a little imprecise... By my count, my Impending Casualty was taken out of play on Turn 3 of Round 1 (Turn 1 - Baron Blade, Turn 2 - Legacy, Turn 3 - Wraith with the grappling hook). MatchstickMan's left on Turn 6 of Round 1 (Turn 1 - Baron Blade, Turn 2 - Hero 1, Turn 3 - Hero 2, Turn 4 - Hero 3, Turn 5 - Hero 4, Turn 6 - environment turn).

Do I have that right?

And also, just wanted to say... This is really great. I was excited to get home and have a chance to try this, and I'm looking forward to the next installment.

Here are our results:

Baron was defeated.

No heroes were incapacitated.

Only one blade battalion came out.

Impending Casualty triggered once.

Legacy had Next Evolution out at the end of the game.

Ooh, the number of times it triggered... That's a good way of handling it.

Sure looks like Baron Blade chose the wrong party to crash...

My results:

Hero Victory--Baron Blade defeated.

No heroes incapacitated

Impending Casualties came out twice total.  The second one came out in the first environment turn and they were both destroyed at the end of it.

Next Evolution never entered to hand and play.  4 Blade Battalions were destroyed, 3 in the Mad Bomber rounds and 1 in the Maniacal Death Ray Wielder rounds.

I was going to play another game to see if I could get a different result. I had a really bad draw, Bunker and Legacy dealt almost no damage the entire game. However, after thinking about it, we still won and it fits in thematically with the scenario, backlash filed hurt as because we got rid of IC, and Legacy used NE to help us win. The only thing is that I misplayed MBB flip side (I really have to start using the big cards), I kept flipping target like the front side. While it did make the game much harder, and I still won, there would probably be less Blade Battlions. while I don't remeber the exact order of the cards, it would probably have been 1, maybe 2. Anyways here it is.

Victory!

Blade battalion - 2 pre-flip, 3 after = 5 total

Tachy - 2 hp. 2 Hypersonic Assaults really helped, and Synaptic Interruption helped flip him after he got a bunch of cards under him. She used Lightspeed Barrage to finish him off.

Wraith - incapped. Helped out early with RO and MTC, but got incapped by Backlash Field. Finally got rid of Backlash Field with her incap ability.

Bunker - 1 hp did nothing except a few hits with his Grenade launcher. His starting hand was Ammo Drop (yay no targets, and no Ongoing destruction available) and 3xUpgrade Mode...ugh. He did play Adhesive Foam Grenade a couple of times, which helped me not get another Impending Casualty.

Legacy - 13 hp  Had next evolution out. Really saved the game. Train stayed in for a while (since we were hitting BB), and since he was immune to melee, only BB was taking the damage. It was a pleasant surprise when Cramped Quarter Combat came out and Legacy was immune to everything. Switched late to energy to stop BB's attack, but this was essential to winning. Only did damage once.

Inpending Casualty - 0!!!!! I am counting it as 0 since Tachy went first and used Blinding Speed to get rid of it, instead of taking out Backlash Field. Wraith got out MTC and RO early, but was incapped because Backlash Field was still in play. So 0!!!!!

Hero Victory in the 5th turn.

Impending Casualty destroyed at the end of the first environment turn. Didn't see another one.

1 Blade Battalion came out after Blade flipped and was instantly destroyed.

No heroes were incapacitated, or even close (Legacy had 10 and he was the lowest. This was mostly due to a 2 hasten Doom turn while Cramped Quarters was out.).

Next Evolution was not in play at the end of the game, or even in Legacy's hand.

Chapter 1 is in the books! Can't wait until tomorrow!

I assume the answer to this question is yes, but just for clarification, whenever we search the environment deck for something, we shuffle the deck, right?

Kisment defeated!

No Heroes Incapacitated--Young Legacy was actuallyonly  1 hp off of her max, thanks to Fortitude, Cleansing Downpour and Motivational Charge!

Lockdown was played first, with a Prison Riot coming at the very end of the game (with only 1 round left)

The Warden was not in play at the end of the game.  Kismet pulled an Immenent Destruction, which took out the poor Warden.

As the Blade Battalions are now Environment cards, do they act on the Villain turn or the Environment turn?

Just did scenario number 2. Kismet was defeated and no heroes were incapacitated.

Kismet destroyed all environment card on the first turn and so prison break came out first and then the lockdown.

Warden Hoefle was not in play. He was discarded by the Prison Riot.

I know I don't have to note this, but the Talisman was in Legacy's play area at the end of the game.

In the long run it was a lucky break not having to deal with all four targets, but Kismet dealt everyone six damage in the first turn. Ouch.

Love this campaign. Thanks for putting the work into it to add a storyline, scenarios, and a way to involve the community in the adventure.

I missed Story 1 but I completed Story 2 today.

The heroes defeated Kismet. Their HP each got down to the teens but then Chrono Ranger took over with two boosting bounties on Kismet and Inspiring Presence from Young Legacy. In the last round he did 16 damage to Kismet, and then killed her off on her turn next round when her attack set off the "The Ultimate Target" "You may use a power" response to quick shot her for the victory.

The Blade Battalion was killed off in a wave of Squall, Char, and Agent attacks which meant Lock Down came out first. The Lock Down was overseen by the Warden who stayed out for the rest of the game.

Results:

Villain Defeated or not?

Defeated

Any Heroes Incapacited? Which Ones?

None

Which was played first, Lock Down or Prison Break?

Lock Down

Was the Warden in Play at the end of the game?

Yes

Villain defeated.

Chrono-Ranger and Tempest both incapped.

Lock down.

No.

Whelp, things got off to a flying start with an Imminent Destruction, killing both of the Battalions and taking out the Warden in the process too.

Given the options it was decided to make things more difficult for the game but help out the story, Lockdown entered play first, followed immeadiately by Prison Riot (and 2 inmates that would have been destroyed if chosen the other way around). The top card of the deck was actually Prison Riot, so the ID was actually helpful!

It was a hard fought battle but eventually the heroes triumphed, or more accurately hero. Chrono-Ranger was the only one left standing, and then at only 3HP and purely because he had "The Ultimate Target" out and Kismet did her start of turn damage, if a card had been played it would have killed Chrono-Ranger! 3 Jinx cards (one on each hero) and 3 Lucky cards were in play when the game ended, so no matter which side of her Villain card was up, she was getting boosted by her cards.

The Environment was really vicious too, Char put the hurt on everybody, particularly as he had both Imprisoned Rogues out, 4+4 damage is not to be sneezed at, but it did flip out Warden Hoeffle thanks to Inconcievable Obstruction (Best flavour text in the game!).

Results are

Villain Defeated or not?

Defeated

Any Heroes Incapacited? Which Ones?

Young Legacy and Tempest

Which was played first, Lock Down or Prison Break?

Lock Down

Was the Warden in Play at the end of the game?

Yes

Kismet was defeated. No heroes were incapacitated but Tempest was on 3 and CR on 7.

Lockdown technically came out first given we had a first turn Imminent Destruction and I decided for the sake of the game play to kill the Batallions off first. It worked out for the best as Char did horrendous damage to Kismet, aided by a rogue.

Warden Hoefle was out at the end of the game leading all the surviving agents in a lockdown. One of the Block Guards was taken out of the game.

Heroes won.

Nobody was incapped.

Lock Down came out first.

Never saw the wardern (coffee break?).

Kismet defeated.

No heroes were incapacitated.

Lockdown was played first.

The Warden was not in play at the end of the game.

Wanted to add to this... Legacy was the MVP for my game... I leaned on Lead from the front and Next Evolution (always choosing psychic) pretty heavily, and then I got the card that makes her immune to environmental damage so Char was a non-issue when he showed up as were some agents who could have hurt me pretty badly... The dart gun that reduces the damage done by its target by one was a huge help as well. Lockdown was my first or second draw from the environment deck which was amusing and unexpected... I assumed I was only supposed to search the deck and not the discard pile so it didn't come back into play when the conditions for its arrival were satisfied. Hope that wasn't cheating!

Results already:

Heroes Victorious!  Advanced Ambuscade goes down like a chump.

No heroes incapacitated--lowest was Expatriette at 18 hp.

No dinosaurs on the table at game end.  That said, we killed the T-rex and 3 packs of Velociraptors.

I got some really fantastic draws on each of the three heroes, as well as two pulls of Snatch and Grab from Ambuscade which left him without Devices and Traps for most of the game.  Young Legacy's starting hand was Motivational Charge, Legacy Ring, and Surge of Strength--she was pumping off two hits a round for nearly the whole game, coupled with CR's bounties.  Expatriette pulled a Tactical Shotgun and an Assault Rifle in her opening draw, which only got heftier from there.  She even managed to take out the T-Rex in Round 1 with the RPG Launcher, which was great, considering the art!

I'd have ended the game with a massive Unload (TacShotgun, Assault Rifle, Pride/Prejudice), but Chrono-Ranger played two buffed-up Terrible Tech-Strikes and beat her to the punch.  All told, not bad at all!

I'm just curious, Was Tempest being captured inevitable, or was it due to the Warden Hoefle condition or Tempest being incapacitated?

Who builds their secret base in the bottom of a volcano?

It started in a mine field, 2 Sonic mines from the initial device setup. Concentrated on taking out the the Cloaking device first of all, getting it to 1HP before a first turn Raptor Pack ripped it right off his back! Playing on Advanced (with DR1 on Villain targets) made Chrono-Ranger take more risks, putting out a Hunter and Hunted (a card that rarely sees play in my group), it really helped out that Legacy played Heroic Interception the turn after it was played. It lead to C-Rs last turn being a massive play, Displaced Armory (Jim's Hat), Eye on the Prize (x2), Terrible Tech-Strike and a Quick Shot (Power) for an impressive 25 damage!

The first 2 environment plays were Raptor Packs, it really helped as they chowed down on all of Ambuscades' Device, having them take out the Sonic Mines at the end of the 2nd turn made for a great visual. The T-Rex did eat the Heroes, even leading to chosing a Flak Jacket over Pride.

Ambuscade had 2 traps set up.. and both went off, 1 on the turn that the other set up!

He also had a turn of Run and Gun, Quick Stim Patch, Quick Stim Patch and Armed and Dangerous, that gave us a little scare. Ultimately however he never got his Personal Cloaking Device back in play after losing it on the first turn and the heroes triumphed.

No heroes were incapacitated, dinosaurs were still in play (T-Rex and 2 Raptor Packs-none died, hell, the only damage to them came from Expat using a Hollow Pointed Assault Rifle), Villain defeated by the Volcanic Erruption! Expat could have done it but

*looks at cards* *looks at Ambuscade on 1HP* *looks at cards again*

"You aren't worth the bullet"

*draws 2*

Defeated.

No incap.

No wildlife.

Ambuscade defeated.

No heroes incapacitated.

No dinos.

Chrono got his hat out early and just kept on playing two Sudden Contracts, Displaced Armory or Ranger's Mark until Ambuscade was buried in bounty notices.

Heroes win!

No incap.

No dinos.

The game started out slow, but 2 things really made it easy work. 1) Inspiring Presence and 2 Obsidians Fields really boosted Chrono-Ranger, who had Hunter and Hunted with 2 bounties, and Expat, who had both Pride and Prejudice in play 2) YL having Lead from the Front and Next Evolution really stopped most of Ambuscade's damage, and essentially only gave us the bonus from Obsidian Field.

Heroes won.

Nobody died.

No dinosaurs were in play, Chrono and Expat killed them all.

Other things to note; Two Obsidians at the end as well as a Sonic mine were all that remained on the board. I actually managed to get Prejudice and Quickdraw in my opening hand which rarely happens and was pretty nice. This is the only game with Chrono where I didn't get Jim's Hat, but he still managed to quite a bit of damage.
