Lots of pics this time.

The Game: It is business as usual, with 400 point teams and one small catch. Each player had to pick one of their clix between 60-80 points that would be held in reserve. Before the game started each player randomly drew two character names. Once those two were KO'ed (either by you or other players) you could bring in your back up piece.

The Map: It was a mass of buildings in the center of the map. It made for some crowded battles on the rooftops. You had to worry about getting knocked off the roof for extra damage. It was pretty fun.



The Teams:

Adam: Please bow your heads for a moment of silence.... Adam's theme team was comic book characters who have died. Of course no one really seems to stay dead in comics so don't shed too many tears. Mr. Rogers, I'm sure you won't have to wait too long until your return. Green Arrow (V), Hawkeye (E), Psylocke (V), Hawkman (V), and Captain America (V).


Jeff: It is a pseudo Mighty Avengers team for Jeff. Black Cat (E), Wasp (V), Ant Man (E), Iron Man (LE), Tigra (E), and Black Widow (V).


Dan: I was trying to do a trench coat theme, but I didn't have enough trench coat clix. So instead I went with a detective/investigator theme. Thug (R) - this thug is very street smart thank you very much, Multiple Man (R) x2, Multiple Man (E), Multiple Man (V), Martian Manhunter (R), Daredevil (V), Robin (E), and The Question (R).


Chris: Orange you glad to see me? It is an all orange theme team for Chris. The only character missing is Citrus Boy - with orange peel skin. I don't know what I'm saying either.... Robotman (R), Wasp (U), Aquaman (V), *liquid hot* Magma (R), Copperhead (E), Catman (R), and Tigra (E).

Uatu Karath stops watching and plucks Tigra from the game. Hawkman and Multiple Man hide in terror.


First Hit: The opening salvo came in the second round, when Green Arrow(Adam) said hello to Catman(Chris) for 4 damage.

Most Damage in a Single Attack: There were a lot of attacks for 4 damage, but only one attack that did 5 damage. You would assume from Iron Man or Martian Manhunter perhaps. Nope. Little Robin aka Tim Drake can be deadly. There was a huge battle on the rooftops. Antman was proving difficult to hit with his 18 defense. Robin, crack shot that he is, throws a batarang and nails Antman clean in the forehead. I rolled a 12/critical hit. This also knocked Antman off the roof, bringing the total damage to 5.

Critical Hits: Two. The one mentioned above, and a twelve rolled by Jeff. I didn't record what happened on Jeff's attack. It was late in the game. I'm slacking at my statistician job.

Critical Misses: One. I thought Robin was on a roll, so I tried the same attack on Black Cat(Jeff). This time Robin held on to the batarang too long and it flew straight down out of his hand and into his foot. That Black Cat is bad luck. D'oh!

Favorite Team: Orange is one of my favorite colors, so my favorite team of the night goes to Chris.

Hardest to Hit: I would say it was a tie between Wasp(Chris) with a 19 defense, and Antman(Jeff) with an 18 defense and super senses. I know it took me quite a few tries to nail Antman. Wasp finally got squashed by Hawkman, who has that insane 12 attack.

Wasp one second before becoming a decoration on Hawkman's mace.


Craziest/Gutsiest Move: I'll have to say The Question(Dan) wins this category. Jeff had Iron Man and Black Widow positioned to really lay down the hurt on my main bruiser Martian Manhunter. I took a chance and rushed The Question up next to Iron Man and Black Widow so they couldn't target anyone else. He did end up getting blasted pretty good from Iron Man. The didn't really end up helping me all that much. Martian Manhunter never really became much of a threat in the game.


Most Valuable Clix: M.V.C. goes to Hawkman(Adam). I think I picked Hawkman for this category before. He is just very dependable when it comes to making an attack. His lack of range is really his own negative, but that isn't anything major. Crazy high attack rolls throughout his dial, high damage and I think a click or two of regeneration makes him a tank.

Greatest Battle of the Night: Oooh boy was it intense watching the Thug take on Black Cat! Not really, but I thought it was a funny picture. Thug did land a hit on Black Cat though before she leaped away. Take that!


Mutliple Man finally makes it to the rooftop.

Game Summary: Again the details are foggy on this game, which happened a couple weeks before I posted this. I had my work cut out for me getting all my multiple men onto the roof with only one flier. That didn't work out too well. I think I took three or four turns getting those clix up the stairs to the top of the building. Jeff, Chris and I almost immediately went up to the tops of the buildings. Adam began firing up at Chris's team with Green Arrow and Psylocke. I was the first to get my reserve player in the game - Daredevil. He actually helped me out quite a bit outwit Iron Man, Antman and Black Widow here and there. Adam and Jeff were really the powerhouses of the game, making the most attacks and both dishing out over forty clicks of damage each. I think Chris was the first with his team KO'ed and I followed suit a couple turns after that. Chris managed a few good hits on Adam's Green Arrow and Captain America. It took me most of the game and most of my team, but I either KO'ed or almost KO'ed Jeff's Iron Man. I can't really remember who won, Jeff or Adam. I'm going to guess Adam, because I think he had his Hawkman at almost full health when the game ended. I could be wrong though.
