Hello All,

I have a question regarding the capability of the special object: Soda Machine.

In a recent game, I took quite a shellacing in one turn. The Avengers Captain America attacked my pushed Scarlet Witch. Here is what I observed:

Captain America charged me from a distance of three spaces. On the way, he grabbed the Soda Machine. He rolled a seven with and AV of 10 =17. A clear hit. So the damage taken was 6 (Soda Machine 2 base Damage. +1 special damage. Captain America has a base damage of 3. So the total taken was 6.) :knockedou

Was this correct?

Scarlet Witch didn't stand a chance...

Thanks for your help.

Mike

Unfortunately for SW, yes...

...and might I add that you Avatar is very disturbing in an odd way... (shudder)

Exactly right.

Something to note here, what with the recent object rules change, is that per the original rules for the Soda Machine (found here), the Soda Machine's additional +1 to damage is actually added to damage dealt not damage value. Because of this, the rule of 3 is not totally met be the Soda Machine (like it would be with the LoSH Com. Dish) and you can still use Perplex and such to effectively bump the damage up +1 more.

This was correct.

I always KNEW they were right when they said too much soda was bad for you...

Yes, thats correct. I just consider the Soda Machine to be a super-heavy (+3 damage). Your scarlet witch was rightfully squashed.

WizKids secret: The extra damage is due to the quasi-Incap effect of half-drowning on all that spilled carbon dioxide in the soft drinks.

As an aside... some judges go by the rule that 3D objects are allowed in sealed games, and some go by what nbperp said that they are not allowed in sealed games.

Footnote to the aside: nbperp clarified on the WK site that he ruled no 3-D objects in WWE type Invitational events that he runs, but that 3-D objects are allowed in regular sealed play. This is also supported by the WK HC tournament rules. However, if they so wished, I suppose that judges could house rule no special objects, but as it stands, they are legal!

In fact its in the heroclix errata & clarifications that 3-D objects are allowable unless otherwise stated, no?
Last I checked house rules are not allowed for events such as COG and the like, so they must be allowed.

Actually, they've never said that these are Marquees. They are standard sealed events, as far as we've been told, so house rules are allows as of now.

It's been rumored the the Galactus event won't allow house rules..... but I don't think there's been anything official (so I doubt there will be at this late point)



But yes, the official docs say they are allowed.... Norm has said in a post that they aren't in certain events....... take that for what it's worth.

I'm sure this has been pointed out in other threads, but another interesting thing to note about the now Infamous Heroclix™ Soda Machine--

The new Ultimates Hulk is stomping on it on his base.



Bad Hulk, Bad! Pick it up and BASH someone with it! Don't wreck it!

HULK...HAVE...GAS!!!!!!! Rwawwwwww

I appreciate the input...and the Puns.

I can truly say that Scarlet Witch got canned...

or

Scarlet Witch got Popped...

Bad, bad, bad, wrong, bad...

Cheers,

Mike
