It's running the schenario coinciding with the last night of thornwood, so there is (relativly) a lot at stake as the top 5 ranked players (myself included) are in the tourney. Because it is Swiss, it is very likely that the winner of the tourney will win the league.

I'm playing Circle and bringing the wolderman brothers-
Wwatcher
Wwarden
Megalith

So all I have left to decide which Baldur to take... My main Opponents will be Khador, Cryx, Menoth, and Legion.

This is my first tourney, and it's timed rounds. Most of these players have all available casters/jacks... But they mostly favor big heavys. I'm expecting behemoth, that cryx chick that takes damage to make things untaegetable/unable to attack, thagrosh (the one that brings a heavy back) and a pair of monsters from legion, and menoth usually runs infantry heavy... So I'm not really sure what to expect out of one of their Jack builds.

Also I have some questions regarding the free power attacks of construct mastery:

1. Can I charge and two-handed throw with free boosted damage?
2. When you lock an arm/head the opponent must use their attack action to attempt to unlock it, does this mean all it's initial attacks are lost?(even attacks that wernt based on that arm?)
3. Can I lock the same arm with two seperate dudes, so the Jack lose it's actions regardless because it can only attempt one unlock a turn?

Thanks in advance

I admit, I think with Baldur the Woldwyrd might be a bit better choice. I kind of prefer its offensive punch, myself, but that's neither here or there. <_<

Against Skarre, my suggestion is to save your feat for when she pops her's. That way you can try and gum her stuff up with it and prevent her from really capitalizing on it. This is easier said than done, admitedly, when she is in your grill, but that's what I found oen of the better ways to fight it at least. This is also where a Woldwyrd is nice, since it can mess up her focus economy somewhat. Similar use of the feat can help stall casters like Thagrosh2. And it's fairly good against Kreoss, since the Woldwyrd and Megalith can hide Baldur from his feat, and Solid Ground forces him to spend focus on Purification rather than feeding it to warjacks.

About what I can give to you against that list of available opponents, sadly.

You can't charge and do power attacks. This is explicitly stated on p. 51 of HORDES: Primal.

Correct.

Seems legit to me.

And stuff.
