Totally Crit Open (TCO) tournament report

Went to another tournament last week and managed to bag 3rd place with an undefeated performance (an amazing 2 draws out of 3 rounds though!). It was a limited insertion event with Frontline, Looting and Sabotaging and Decapitation. A classic "joint operations" mission selection that doesn't actually require any specialists (which is fine, just misleading of CB). I did no playtesting for this tournament as I had War of the Worlds the week before. I intended to use this tournament as a chance to get three games in with the Gorgos (hence art below) and try out Neema in decapitation. I ended up using my decapitation list in Frontline as well, so I used her a fair bit. Thoughts below.

Playtesting stuff from Tohaa

These are some things that have turned up in playtesting or that I want to playtest.

Tournament report: War of the Worlds

Played a one-day tournament in England over the weekend (I'm here on a fellowship). Good fun. Was at the top of the table at the end of round 1, on the top table at the end of round 2 after a frustrating narrow victory, and then broke one of my tactical principles and bombed the last round in a mirror match-up to finish mid-table. All the games were pretty interesting and more or less confirmed the direction I've been heading with Tohaa to date. Got another tournament next week that is limited insertion and a great opportunity to test the Gorgos. Will post my thoughts for that in a sec. First, the missions and lists for this tournament.

Thoughts on how to play Tohaa

A brief guide to playing Tohaa

I've now played maybe a dozen games with the artichokes and it's starting to come together. I've had mostly wins (not so much because of sublime play, but because Tohaa are really good) and the last few have started to feel quite smooth. Thought I'd write up my observations thus far.
