"Ok, let's do this," Iron Man says unleashing repulsor rays on Green Lantern. He easily uses creates a shield to hold it back.

"...Or not," Iron Man adds, "Good thing I'm a strong believer in second chances."

Don't think you could have been targeting GL. He's behind some other guys. Regardless though, with Jakeem's Defend, no matter who you were shooting for, you would have needed to hit the same 18 DV and missed.

"I won't need any second chances against you," Hawk said, picking up a motorcycle.

"You'll need to do better than that...OW!" Iron Man said. He had underestimated Hawk's strength.

So Darkstar smoke clouded over IM's row as well as their being Avalanche's barrier. Given that, wouldn't the smoke cloud mean Hawk needs a 7 to hit, and therefore miss?

Not if he's doing close combat. Hindering bonuses are only against ranged attacks.

Fair enough. You'd think punching through a smoke cloud would warrant a + 1 defense but hey, this is how rarely this issue has come up.

Last turn for you marked turn 4, where you should have rolled for an event. Started my turn and missed that so, since it should only help your cause, I'll pm to do so.

So this turn we start the events. Frankly, I almost forgot about them. Kinda the whole point of the game. I roll a 7, a duel, which means I might have a swing at Jakeem. Don't be bummed, I'm sure we'll see a lot of strategy-altering moments. I'm going to suggest a limit to duels: two or three, whatever you think. Once we pass that and roll it, I think it's the only type of circumstance where a reroll is appropriate.

A wobbly Iron Man on Hawk. Fortunately those old HT dvs don't help when he's this far from Jakeem's defend. Needs 6, rolls 3. G'nort turns that into an 11. 2 to Hawk after toughness. IM gets a free force blast on Hawk. Gets 4 which sends him back to K19.

Darkstar tugs him back down and also smoke clouds once again.

Thunderbolt does a double-power action to use Call in the Air Strike on square K19. He rolls 11. 2 to Jakeem after force field, so he's on click three. 1 to GL after lmd. 1 to Blastaar after toughness. Wow, that's it....with all of your invulnerable and damage lowering feats this was much less severe than I thought it would be; little damage and on kb off the overpass.

So I'll give Booster Blue something to do and pull Alan into a duel. Distance is 3, -2 with our rules, so they're adjacent. Needs 9, rolls 9. 1 to Al after LMD. 2nd attack is on him needs 8, rolls 9 again. I swear, sometimes these rolls are unreal.

Duel: Green Lantern vs. Booster Gold/Blue Beetle

http://www.ianparmenter.com/hcutils2...1&z1=x362y-381

"Stay clear," Gen. Ross says tossing a grenade on the overpass.

He looks at Blue Beetle and Booster Gold until the explosion goes off.

Ross nods to them, "Go for it, boys."

"Yippee!" Beetle says leaping on the overpass and snagging Green Lantern separate from the pack.

"Booster?" he says.

Booster slams a force field into Alan and knocks him off the roof. He then follows him. Beetle smiles, "Sometimes, I just love this job!".

You may not have gotten any one big hit, but a lot of 2-3 point hits, just as crippling. Maybe moreso, and you ran off and hid leaving me with no retaliatory options.

Event first: a 7. Duel. Yup something tells me we'd better limit the number of these. Particularly since we loaded it on the most common roll. Let's call it 2. If that were all that were going on, I'd be fine with making it 3 or 4, but with all the other events, if we allow too many, we risk overshadowing everything else.

Since you're playing the yo-yo game, stealing one your TKers ought to make you stay and fight like a man. Moonstone grabs Fatality.

But first Blastaar to L18

Distance roll for the new duel is 5. 3 squares apart. Would have preferred adjacency, but oh well. Moonstone Outwits Fatality's SS and attacks her, AV10 on DV16. Gets 10. 3 to her.

"You're called Fatality," Moonstone said find herself isolated with the alien. "That's ironic, since you will be one when I'm done with you." She tagged the other with an energy blast.

"We will see which of us is still standing at the end of this," Fatality said.

"By all means, darling. Have a go."

A problem with Moonstone's draft and it should be an easy fix. Moonstone is 135 points; Fatality is 68 points. Moonstone has to be within 25 points of her cost. She could snag another additional figure, however.

I think I was so used to the Hammer of Thor version who's much cheaper, I didn't even think. I'll bring Gnort along as well.

I think with this game there will be a lot of things we'll need to get used to. It won't be as simple as many of our games.

I'm wondering if our rolls should effect figures in the duels also. I'd kind of think if we roll that figures can become vampires for a turn that this should include the duel guys also. What do you think?

Before I go on G'nort rerolls Moonstone's attack: 6, still hits.

I roll for my event: 10. Cutthroat. Hmmmmmm....very well.

Hawk lc to T22. Doesn't really do much to you.

Blastaar moves in place. A token and click to him.

Iceman to P14, takes a click for pushing.

Jakeem ups his damage to 3 and will rs to N18 attacking Iceman. Needs 4, rolls 9. 3 to Bobby.

Comedian rs to K15 turning on Jakeem. Needs 7, rolls 9. 2 to him. Man, these events can really bang up teams.

Polaris to A1.

Duels:

Moonstone moves in place. She's pushed for 1.

GL moves in place also, no push.

As we discussed, when we roll for Cutthroat we can move 1/2 the team. I'll alter that below. Also, attacking your own team is inappropriate.

I'll keep Iceman, Blastaar and Moonstone's move as is. Instead of attacking I'm move Jakeem to A24.

Annoying but much less devastating.
