game night for 01.09.08

The Game: We tried something different this time. 400 point teams as usual, but we split the board down the middle and randomly picked who we played against. Essentially 2 simultaneous 1-on-1 games going on at once. The victor of each game continued on (with whatever was left of their team) to duke it out on the entire map. It was wild fun and something we'll probably play again.

The Map: Didn't snap a shot of the map. Standard fare of buildings and hindering terrain.

Battle A:

Adam: A very nice looking team, using the X-men First Class/original costumes. Marvel Girl, Cyclops, Professor X, Iceman, Beast.


Dan: With Strong Guy/Guido finally being released in the Mutations & Monsters set, I was able to play a good (looking) X-factor team. Havok, Multiple Man/Madrox (x3), Polaris, Quicksilver, Strong Guy.


I had a hard time reaching Adam's team. That Prof. X's 12 range kept me from getting to close and then I would inevitably be mind controlled once close enough. Strong Guy went down a couple rounds in after trying to charge into Adam's team. About 3/4 of the way through the game I managed to KO Professor X, but it basically took my whole team's concentrated effort to do so. Cyclops and Beast were able to finish off the rest of my team. Cyclops, Beast and Marvel Girl survived to face the winner of:

Battle B:

Chris: An interesting mix of clix from the last 2 sets, Chris had some heavy hitters on his team. Bulleteer?, Cyclops, Gorgon, Granny Goodness.


Jeff: We had a lot of mutant teams tonight. Jeff kept the mutant theme going with a mix of the original X-men, including some from alternate time lines. Cyclops, Age of Apocalypse Jean Grey, Iceman, Beast, Angel.


I couldn't really tell you what happened in this match, since I was busy getting brow-beat by Professor X and his mutants. From what I gather, Jeff managed to put a dent in Chris's team before being over-run by Gorgon and Granny Goodness. Chris claimed the victory and moved Gorgon towards Adams X-men remnants.

Battle C: Chris was forced to charge toward Adam since Gorgon didn't have any ranged combat. Chris managed to get it down to 2 vs. 1 when Marvel Girl was KO'ed, but Adam took the win a short time later.
