Wednesday Game Night, 11/07

Another night of Heroclix. No, we never do seem to get sick of playing this game...

The usual vanilla game: 400 points, normal starting positions, etc.

The map had 2 buildings near the center of the map separated by a hill. These were surrounded by flat, open spaces and the scattering of hindering terrain.

Adam: Now that I don't bother keeping stats (it was fun while it lasted) I tend to miss what the themes are because I don't have a notebook handy. So I am clueless as to what Adam's theme was, if he had one. It looks like a cool team though. *edit* Chris has informed me that Adam's theme was superheroes without powers. *edit* Batman, Punisher, Green Arrow, Black Panther and Shang Chi.


Chris: Also not sure if there was a theme to Chris's team. I will say, I do love how that Batman & Robin duo figure clix looks. Very dynamic! Supergirl, Batman & Robin, Blue Beetle, Booster Gold.


Jeff: Jeff played with a machine/metal theme team. Iron Man, Machine Man, Ultimate Dr. Doom, and Ant Man.


Dan: I rolled out a team comprised of my list of current favorite characters/comics. Spidey was a filler though, sad to say. Hmm, looking at the list, it appears the street-level vigilantes really appeal to me. Flash, Batman, Iron Fist, Daredevil, Moon Knight, Spider-man.


Gameplay: I found myself in hot water right away when I moved too much in the center of the map. I was quickly surrounded and had my hands full with Batman & Robin, Supergirl, Dr. Doom, Iron Man, and Ant Man. Mid-way through the game I had managed to reposition myself with a minimum of lumps taken. At that point, it turned into a battle between Chris and Adam, and Jeff and I. Late in the game Adam knocked out Chris and then a nasty brawl began between the remaining three players. I bowed out a few rounds later. It came down to a one on one situation with Jeff's Ant-Man coming out on top.
