A chance to run Persuader again... though I have never run BA before... still nostalgia...

Persuader, V Hawkeye, V Legacy Batman, V Sinestro, Jinx ....old faves...

Seth basically gave us great JSA (in addition to other stuff of course) so I might have to go that route ...

BCS DECLARES GERMANY WINNER OF WORLD WAR II
US Ranked 4th

After determining the Big-12 championship game participants the BCS computers were put to work on other major contests and today the BCS declared Germany to be the winner of World War II.

"Germany put together an incredible number of victories beginning with the annexation of Austria and the Sudetenland and continuing on into conference play with defeats of Poland, France, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium and the Netherlands.

Their only losses came against the US and Russia; however considering their entire body of work--including an incredibly tough Strength of Schedule--our computers deemed them worthy of the #1 ranking."


Questioned about the #4 ranking of the United States the BCS commissioner stated "The US only had two major victories--Japan and Germany.
The computer models, unlike humans, aren't influenced by head-to-head contests--they consider each contest to be only a single, equally-weighted event."

German Chancellor Adolph Hiter said "Yes, we lost to the US; but we defeated #2 ranked France in only 6 weeks."
Herr Hitler has been criticized for seeking dramatic victories to earn 'style points' to enhance Germany's rankings.

Hitler protested "Our contest with Poland was in doubt until the final day and the conditions in Norway were incredibly challenging and demanded the application of additional forces."

The French ranking has also come under scrutiny.
The BCS commented " France had a single loss against Germany and following a preseason #1 ranking they only fell to #2."

Japan was ranked #3 with victories including Manchuria, Borneo and the Philippines.

Well guys, it's official. I will not be coming to Vegas any time soon. I really thought we'd be moving there basically this weekend but it turns out that we will be enjoying L.A. just a little bit longer. I was really looking forward to seeing all you cats up there but them's the breaks.

And if you want to know what I ran today, read the What did you play thread in the Combat Formations thread.


FEAR BLACK MANTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seth begins with which set?

Armor Wars and on is Seth

Icons was JonLs last set...

Hey I just saw this on a thread and never thought about it before...

Can Crisis Flash and AA Mailaway joker be carried?

I thought double base characters could not be carried (don't have rules infront of me).

as for Joker I'm not sure, he the first sentinel base fig to not have an ability or symbol that prevents him from being carried...

So I know I'm still a power gamer at heart. Because it only took me about 8 minutes to come up with these two teams for the next LSoM tourney.

They extenuate (my big word of the day) the best features of each designer and what drove their play environments.

Hey Guys. Just looking for some feedback for a couple of teams I made. Green Lantern Corps. & the Sinestro Corps.

The lineups are pretty much set, limited figure pool and all. Unless you have a different lineup that works. Looking for some advice on the feat selection. Also how would you play the team / stratigies / board placement / jazz like that.

Happy Holidays!

Green Lanterns of Sector 2814:
Hal Jordan - Crisis
+ Inside Information
Guy Gardner - JL
Kyle Rayner - Exp. - CD
Jon Stewart - Rookie - CJ
+ Point Blank
+ Green Lantern Corps. - Assigned to Hal, Guy, & Jon
500pts

Sinestro Corps:
Sinestro - Crisis
Lyssa Drak
+ Construct
Amon Sur
Arkillo
Yellow Lantern
+ Spotter
498pts

-Also thinking about Opportunist on Sinestro, just not sure how the turn sequence would go. Maybe
Turn 1 - Lyssa TKes Sinestro to staging area = 1 token.
Turn 2 - Team Clears = 2 tokens. And Sinestro is free to attack or TK Arkillo if needed.

I really like the Sinestro Corp team. The Yellow Lantern is an intresting support fig with a cool mix of powers. Too weak to be a front line attacker, though the Plasticity/Running Shot combo BEGS to be used. So use him to EE with said combo and have him stop next to a friend to share his 18 Defend. Arkillo with the teams TRIPLE perplex is pure EVIL! 2 to attack and 1 to damage for 8 clicks from a Charge/Flurry. Very much a One-Shotter!

I'd be curious to see how the two teams do against each other.

Have you played them yourself yet?

and to get oppurtunist you would take off Construct I assume?

Much like in the books the GLs seem to be at a disadvantage...

so this thursday is supposed to be 400 point team up (each player brings 200)

of course this would requires a min of 4 people to show up so its not likely (but I can hope right?)

this is the team I came up with after a little thought (supposed to be restricted)

The Penguin
The Riddler
Street Thug

198

I bring the support powers but with the double outwit can still make some attacks. Plus its a theme team so it also brigns 2 probs and a BFC cancel. Could use another fly but I think it works.

and me could not just go...

Bizarro #1
199

There are 2 factors that give the Sinestro Corps an advatange.
1. More cost effective dials, which equals 5 figs over 4
2. Damage Reduction!

The question is can the Lanterns keep it a long range battle and utilize their advantage of High Range Defense and Willpower?


I do like the Yellow Lantern mechanic on the team, it fits well. My plan is to push him on turn 2. That gives the 18 Defend and w/ Spotter, a +1 to all range attacks. Then I can use the Perplex for other stats if needed.


For the Feats; remove Construct, add Opprotunist and another 6pt feat. Probably Vendetta on Amon Sur. 500pts even.


I have not played them yet. Waiting on a trade to come in for most of the Sinestro Corps. And I do not have a Sinestro yet.

Speaking of which. If anyone sees a Sinestro SR for trade on someone's trade thread, would you PM the thread to me. I would appreciate it.

Dude it's SNOWING outside right now!!!!

Jeff is not leaving his house for didily sh*t. And if you were Jack, would you ride the bus for 2hrs in this weather?


But if you go...

Nightwing - 79pts
Batman Beyond - 64pts
+ Inside Info - 4pts
Roy Harper LE - 53pts
200pts

Actually we have not seen Jack in a while...

Thats why I say supposed to , game called on account of weather? looks fine today but we will see...

and that is a GrEaT 200 pointer, I guess I was just AA blinded and I wanted to use some figs I have not used yet too. (I only used riddler once in sealed)
