Okay,

Since last May I've been working on a scenario/event format in which we can have a smooth multi-player free-for-all experience. Right now I'm calling it "The Arena" until I come up with something better. And, I plan on doing a proper write-up on it at some point. Anyways, here's the video:

Invest in a tripod

And, how exactly am I suppose to capture everything that happens on the battlefield with my camera mounted in a single position only able to capture roughly a 2x 1 1/2 feet of table space? I have a tripod and it doesn't work for this style of video.

What about those desk tripods?

I have a Radioshack tripod that sits at about eight inches high, and it was in use during the vblog-style intro and conclusion segments of the video (as well as the Real Time video and about half of the videos on my channel). And, like I said: a mounted camera in a fixed position is not going to capture what occurred between models/units that are spread across a 4x4foot tabletop and are in and around terrain features. That's just not in the cards. That just doesn't work.

Pretty cool idea.. I would give it a shoot.. maybe not using power-ups.. but a all out war between 4 players would be fun..

(Side note) Watched other videos of your games.. you're doing great with your circle.. I run the same line-up of beasts.. Have you tryed using the Druids yet?

I want some druids, but right now I'm broke and can't afford them.

There's always room for more models.

I've come to really love them with the Overseer.. can heal a Warden for 7, plus a possible D3 from a stone, and they have a RNG8 magic attack now that pull/pushes a model directly towards/away from them D3 inches..

I think of it as "dirty" even though it's legal, but I use it to push models out of the 0.5" melee of a Warden, then get a free strike..

Also killed/knocked down many Caster/Locks with their Devouring spell so far..

Does it push the model or move it?

push effects don't generate freestrikes, as far as I know.

well.. that sucks.. I was thinking along the lines of Borka's Mosh Pit spell.. oh well.. they still have Nudge...

It depends.

Read the card text. Usually they say if they don't create freestrikes.

If I recall correctly, the default for movement effects (different from
placement effects) is to generate freestrikes unless the card text itself
says that it does not.

Pushes don't cause freestrikes as a general rule, otherwise ATGM's would be an auto-include in every Cygnar army.

The card text doesn't say it does not generate free strikes.. but und Push power attacks, it says they dont.

I'm not sure if you would assume that a Power attack Push is the same as a Magic ability that says "pushed"

I guess it's up for debate, but for now I'll play it safe and not say they do..

I'm tempted to give this a try, although I'm not too hot on the idea of power-ups... Maybe try something else besides stat boosts.. E.G- free spell cast, free up-keep, generate another attack, may run/charge for free, and you could always have apples!!!!.. Pick up an apple for a warbeast, heals D3 off his spiral, or oil can for a Jack...

Think about it...lol

Interesting format. Random power up spawning would add a bit to it... Maybe have 'gateways' just for the powerups? And instead of affecting whatever model picked it up, have it be a powerup to be doled out to a model/unit in the army instead? Just a few thoughts.

As always, a fun game to watch.

Push is not up for debate.
Any ability that generates a Push effect will not trigger a freestrike unless said ability specifically says that it does.

i.e. All Pushes are identical unless specifically stated otherwise.
