I just got home from my first marquee this weekend. In the very first booster i opened countess tara campbell and caber with anti peronel and spirit cat pride card second booster was big birtha and a univesity of prosperina grad and reactive armor and a highlander wolf sa card. third booster was a falcon ursa and university of prosperina and another reactive and spiritcat pride.
I can not remember all the support i pulled but my army was as follows
Countess and caber 292points
hihlander sm2 arty 33points
sc sekmet 92
bansons gunnest 12
and falcons lrm battery 19
total 448
all i can say is full barrage is amazing i missed it a total of 3 times all night and critical hit with it 2 times( unfortunately against infantry both times) i got all 3 vc's in every battle (seemed everyoine i played had a hadur of some sort that caber had to run after into the deployment zone) In my last battle caber was destroyed but the 4 damage pulsing sekmet made short work of every thing left on the board which was only a wolf hatchet man and 2 towed gauss rifles.
I honestly think only one other piece could be on par to pull in an aod marquee, well maybe 2. alpha and anastasia, just cause if she hits first caber would be screwed and maybe hellfire if you have trebor because of the 20 inch reign of death he can do.

I had to face him with.

.....no usuable vehciles really pulled no infantry formations....a butt load O gun nests

Interesting, seems like there's always a Caber with Campbell everywhere :).
Mayve I'll get it tomorrow....

One player got 'Fu' and pilot. recuited to CJF and his 1st opponent punched it. bad mistake. Same player got Tormark. If it wasn't for long ranged tanks he might have won.
Anima was pulled by another player, got Anna (I'm not going to try and butcher the spelling this morning :ermm: ) with it.
On the last round it was found that the winner had a HL/RotS pilot in a SS Dasher :surprised . players still getting new at this (me too. it was pointed out and i said "it's right. it's a med. pilot." had to take a second glance). i know better for next time.
I gave away the three prize plus older LEs for 1st Crit.Miss, Crit.Hit, DFA, & sucessfull capture (liao Koshi, SH Panther, SC Crimson hawk, HL PackHunter respectfully). It was fun to watch (until 'Fu' had an ammo explosion in front of an unmarked SH tank :speechles ) and i can't wait to play in Sunday's game 9and 3 chances for the HK Mech)

We had our last night. My first two pulls were chikako with the correct pilot the persauder also with the right pilot. My last pull was a SH blade.

I won with
phoenix w/pilot
JF blade w/double rate
BR sm2
Df zibler

unfortunately I had to face dust storm 2 rounds
but the arty saved me all three games

I only had a few players show up for ours and only one pulled a unique 'mech (Alpha). Surprisingly, the same player got Kerensky and Heavy Decoy in the same booster. He also got two pieces of cheap artillery. Very lucky pull. He also pulled Sandoval, but no 'mechs he could pilot.

Another player pulled Sandoval and put him to good use in a Dasher - it worked well until it missed an essential strike against Alpha and got mangled pretty fast after that.

All in all, we've had really bad luck at our venue - he only orders in half-case lots. The first, there was 1 unique and 1 LE fig out of the whole lot. So far out of this one, only one unique. My players are restless!

This is just a side comment but, In MK WK let you assign spellbooks and spells regardless of requirements (except for affinity requirments) in the Sorcery Sealed event helkd in january. I am suprised that WK didn't take a similar stance on pilots in AoD sealed, that is letting them pilot any mech of their weight class regardless of faction or speed mode requirements, since every mech comes with a pilot of its weightclass.

- Saber

Sorcery are different. They are People these polit. If they are Faction polits they shouldnot work any other faction but their Own. Even in Sealed.

yeah, there's definitely a flaw here since what will you do if you get a faction-specific pilot and a different factioned mech? e.g. spirit cats star capt and a SS thunderfox? :p now that's really gonna cripple your army-building capabilities...

First round I had to go against:

Alpha w/University of Perspina Pilot and IT!!!!!
Bolt
SS Hadur
SS Saxon
SH Towed Gauss
SS LRM Battery

And this is what I had:

SW Thunder Fox w/Mechanical Repair
SW Valiant w/Double Rate and Robinson Pilot
BR Moth Hawk
SS Sehkmet
DF Pathfinder

I managed to kill the Bolt and the Hadur, and then tried to evade Alpha for the remainder of the game. But with it's 16 inch range and 11 attack with IT, I could only hold out for so long. The one chance I had hitting Alpha out of its prime was with the SW Valiant using Double Rate needing a 10 and a 12 to hit, I missed by rolling an 8.

I'm playing our Marquee tomorrow. I would LOVE to get "Caber" and Tara together. I feel like I'd be a winner anyway, just for pulling them... ( though the Xanthos or EOD would be great too ;) ).

I lucked out. I got Chikako here....with a Tara Campbell pilot. Didn't get a usable pilot, so I put Chikako out with a SW Hanse, an HL Hadur, a JF Saxon, a JF Fenrir, a JF Salamander, and I put a SSw salamander in the Saxon. To top it off, I pulled the only terrain card at our venue, Mountain Range.

I lucked out on several rolls. Got a Critical hit that turned a Milagro piloted by Kev Rosse into so much scrap, and a Fu piloted by Fermi missed his charge and ended up on the recieving end of the Hanse's boomstick.

Well, I had a whole two guys show up, here is what they had:

1


BR Blade
SC Uziel
SH Hawkmoth
ton of infantry
SS Saxon
HL Towed Gauss

2


SC Dasher II
SH Blade
SH Hanse MBT
BR Saxon
HL Towed Gauss


Player two won twice. It was interesting but very slow.
