The Game: We were without Jeff for this game since he was on vacation. To make up for losing a player, we went with 500 point teams. We also had random placement on the map with one catch. For our first turn each player could select two of their clix to make a basic, non-attacking move action. This gave each player somewhat of a chance to try and regroup or to get away from a potential beat-down. As mentioned before, random placement is chaotic, and sometimes bad placement can take you out of the game right from the start. I thought this worked really good to help offset some of the negatives of random placement.

The Map: Nothing special, just nice and simple.


The Teams:

Adam: For tonight's game Adam chose a JLA/character team-up theme. He had Batman (E), Superman (R), Black Canary (V), Green Arrow (V), Fire (V), and Ice (V).


Dan: Since we had a rare 500 point game, I seized the chance to finally play my Sentry clix (a year and half after pulling him out of booster). My theme was dudes with long hair. Damage (V), Sentry (U), Wendigo (E), Hydra Technician (E) - who has a really bad mullet under that mask, Harpoon (E) - with the Moe haircut, and Arkon (U).


Chris: If you aren't from Earth and you need to integrate yourself into society, what better way than with a moustache! Chris's theme was aliens. Omni Man (U), Starfire (E), Mister Miracle (R), Skrull (E), Hawkgirl (E), and Allen the Alien (E).


Game Highlights:
I'm not going to run cumulative stats for this game. Not that it matter really, but this way for cumulative stats everyone will always have played the same number of games.

First Hit: Supes doesn't like imitators and he lets Omni Man know it with a heat vision blast for 5 clicks of damage with a little outwit help from Batman.

Most Damage in a Single Attack: I connected for 6 damage with, err, Damage. Allen was the poor victim of this crit hit.

Critical Hits: Just the one mentioned above.

Critical Misses: Two of 'em. Early in the game Adam tried to charge Fire into Omni Man but ended up with the accursed snake-eyes. A little later Chris rolled a two when Allen the Alien tried to lay the smack on my Arkon clix.

Supes and Omni Man duke it out. Yo, Omni Man, the camera's this way! Stop staring at Starfire!


Game Summary: I can't remember too many details since I'm posting this three weeks after it happened. I know after Adam struck first blood on Chris's Omni Man, Chris seemed to focus most of his team on Superman and Batman. I started out with much of my team tangled up with Allen the Alien. That clix has a crazy high defense up close thanks to Combat Reflexes. To make things worse, though, is if you are in close combat with him, he has Plasticity which makes it really hard to break away. Later in the game, I had managed to land a few good hits on Chris's team. Adam was fighting back with all he had on Chris for most of the game. I think Chris managed to take out Superman. I can't recall who ended up winning this game though. I don't think we called it - it seems like someone won. Adam, Chris, do either of you remember?
