Welcome to the latest battle between Gargantua and flyingicarus! As usual it can be a bit on the complicated side.
In honor of 2013 being our 10th year of playing Heroclix via play by post together we've created a game that tried to capture some of the regular themes and conditions we've used throughout the years.
To start we have a 10k game. We've each drawn a figure from every Marvel and DC set since Heroclix began (discounting any Fast Forces set that merely mirrored the main set, Chaos Wars Fast Forces for example is part of the Chaos War draw). No figure or character may be drafted twice (unless it's an alternative version of a character; 616 Cap may be selected, as may Rojhaz or Capwolf, Skrull or Ultimates Cap). With the remaining points we can draft a figure on any turn into our 8 figure teams but must be drafted in order of set appearance: if I draw from Infinity Challenge, the next figure drawn must be from Hypertime, then Clobberin' Time etc.
As a free draft, we each can pick a 600 point colossal to add to the game and a trio of generics totaling no more than 125 points at any time. These figures are considered part of an 8 figure team (the generics taking up 1 slot and can be of one type, like Skrulls, or up to 3 types, like Skrulls, Ninjas, GCP detective). These figures cannot have been selected previously and have no feats and are immune to the conditions.
Prior to the start of every turn we roll a 12 sided die. We must apply the conditions as shown below to echo the games we've played.
Roll 2: Shrinkage. Remove the outside square of your map on all sides. Any figure on that outside square is removed from the game. Your starting area adjusts to the bottom two rows on the map as it currently is.
Roll 3: Redux. Take a character on your team who has taken no damage. You may recreate that characters' initial click using the dial generator for the same point cost lasting until your next turn when the original character is returned (with any damage given to the replacement figure). The recreated figure may have no special powers.
Roll 4: Amalgym. All of the figures on your team share any two team abilities or keywords (of team abilities or keywords already on your team's board) until your next turn.
Roll 5: Crazy 9s. Roll two 8 sided die. The first number refers to figures in your recap, the second number refers to figures in your opponents recap. Those figures switch sides and placement.
Roll 6: A Year Without the Avengers/JLA. If any figure on your opponents team has the Avengers/JLA ta or keyword you may remove them from the game for your turn. The opponents following turn he must return that figure to the starting area.
Roll 7: Today is Halloween. Pick a character in play and replace their current dial with the stand alone click #11 on the Werewolf dial or click #1 on the Vampire (SP 12). Only the click the figure started on is replaced, any damage taken reverts the figure to its original form. The effects last until the controllers following turn.
Roll 8: Crazy 8s. Roll two 8 sided die. Both numbers refer to figures in your recap (ex #4 is the 4th figure on your recap). Switch positions of those figures.
Roll 9: Duel. Choose any figure on your team. That figure may engage up to two of your opponents figures (that are within 25 points of the character) in a duel starting on a separate map. Once the duel is complete any surviving figures return to the map in their controllers starting area.
Roll 10: My Team's Better Than Your Team. Choose a single figure on your team's board with a ta. All others figures on your board cannot use their ta until your next turn. You may bring in another unselected figure who can use the chosen ta, in your starting area, until your next turn.
Roll 11: Cutthroat. You may take a turn using your opponents figures. If you ko any figure in the process you can bank the figures point cost back into your unused points back.
Roll 12: Freebie. Your choice of any condition.

"I hate this, I really hate this," the Wasp says, "They're pals, at least some of them."
"I know, Jan," Iron Man says to his fellow Avenger, "But it is what it is."
"I don't much mind," Avalanche says.
"You're a bad dude, what you say pretty much falls under the 'counts for squat' category," G'nort says.
"I don't like feeling like I don't have a choice in this," Blue Beetle says.
"I hear you, Ted..." says Booster Gold says.
"Ah, quit griping," Thunderbolt Ross says impatiently.
"Hush, he's here," Darkstar says.
Walking out of the shadows, a man known only as flyingicarus speaks. "There's no need in squabbling. This is a battle you must win." He ponders for a moment and says underneath his breath, "This time, Gargantua, I have you!".

"GL! Good to see at least one fammiliar face," Jakeem Thunder said, gravitating towards, Alan Scott. "But that green-haired woman's got a face I wouldn't mind becoming more familiar with," he added, trying to be smooth.
"Slow down, kid," Polaris said. "Come see me when you're out of high school maybe."
"Oh snap!" Iceman laughed at Lorna's comment.
"I'm not sure all this levity is called for," Green Lantern said. "We've got a very dire and unpleasant task ahead of us."
"What's so unpleasant about it? We get to bash some heads," Hawk said.
"I could get to like you," the Comedian told him.
"That boy's got some real anger management issues," Alan sighed
"I will not be fighting any friends today. It doesn't bother me at all," Blastaar said.
"That's because you have no friends," Moonstone pointed out.
"Ladies! Gentlemen! I have selected you as the best of the best. Yet still, you will need all your power, all your skill, all your resources. I am called Gargantua. Today, a rivalry that has been brewing for 10 years will come to a head. Today, with your help, I will show flyingicarus once and for all, who is the better man."
Aw, good choice! Note: this game does have feats. I wrote to you in another that it seems feats are being phased out and maybe we should talk about that. But this game has it.
I think we should take a three turn pause before starting the special effects.

If we're doing 10,000 then does that mean up to 4 of each feat, like our big games? Also I'm assuming at 10,000 we're starting 6 objects each with the usual replacements at 3300 and 6600?

Oh yes, this would be just like our big games; 4 feats, same ideas for objects...how could it not since this is a game honoring all of them.
Do you mind if I select Daimon Hellstrom from the Spider-Man set? I figure it's your turn to pick first until the games end. And if you want him, go for it but I love me some Son of Satan.
Just a boring move turn here.
Blue Booster to QR11.
Darkstar carries Avalanche to Q14, she's R15.
The good General moves in place.
Darkstar does her free smoke cloud thing.

Yeah, you can have Hellstrom. He does look awesome. I'll hold off on committing to an ASM pick. Still have a lot of figures to be revealed, and I haven't even looked at all the ones we have yet.

I'll hold off on selecting now also, no point in pre-selecting without you, we'll forget. Besides, seeing the whole set will be cool but as you know, I'm been waiting for Daimon for a bit.
Another dull turn, I think.
Gen Ross moves in place.
Darkstar smoke clouds same place.
