Time for a new game. flyingicarus and I will be playing a game to try out as many of the new FF pieces as we can.

My starting line-up

40 F4002 Invisible Woman
75 F4035 Human Torch
75 F4033 Mr. Fantastic
40 F4004 The Thing
100 F4053B Ghost Rider
300 F4061 God Emperor Doom
15 F4005 Doombot
15 F4005 Doombot
15 F4005 Doombot
30 F4063 Valeria Von Doom
705

I roll 8 for initiative. 10 in case of a tie.

"I'm glad ot see you can be reasonable," Dr. Doom said.

"Only because you have our daughter in your thrall," the Invisible Woman said. "Release her."

"Father, why are they saying I'm their daughter?" Valeria asked Doom.

"Please, Victor. This is beneath you," Reed pleaded.

"Let me at the Crumbum," the Thing said. "His armor ain't gonna protect him when I get my mitts on him."

"After me. No one messes with my niece," the Human Torch growled.

"If anything happens to the child," the Ghost Rider said. "You will know my vengeance."

"I have no wish to harm my child. Why would I?" Doom said. "But as much as it pains me to admit it, I do need your help."

I roll 5, inish is yours.

I say we try to play the FF. I think their best new versions are in CC.

As a reminder if we want to draft an outside of the game piece that's related: Crystal, Mad Thinker etc, we should.

Let's think 2k and go from there, we can always expand.

"We're battling...ourselves?" the Invisible Woman asks.

"Must be a Thursday," says the Thing.

"Even you're got to admit this isn't an everyday thing, Thing," the Human Torch says.

"Indeed," Mr Fantastic muses, "A battle against ourselves...that will be a challenge."

I'm feeling old school for the map

Do you mind if I swap Reed for Dr. Fantastic who does a lot of the same thing? Assuming yes I'm adding the points.

"Alright," Nova says flying in, "I'm ready. What do we do?".

"I'm ready too, mom and dad, Uncle Johnny and Ben," Franklin Richards adds.

"None are more ready than I, Firelord, greatest Herald of the dread Galactus."

"Me," Trapster says, "Maybe I'll hang back a bit and let you guys take the lead."

I feel like this is going to be one of those sets where there are so many things going on with the figures, Traits, shared abilities, even the new versions of the TAs, it's going to be a challenge to keep track.

"Waitaminnit, that's us over there," the Thing said.

"Yeah, what's the deal, Doom? What the heck is going on?" the Human Torch needled him.

"If I thought you had the merest chance of understanding quantum realities I would tell you, but as it is, it would be a waste of breath."

"Quantum whatsits now?" Ben asked.

"Alternate realities, Ben," Reed explained. "Other timelines like our own where we also exist, but where our histories have diverged."

"Now see Victor, that wasn't so hard to explain, was it?" Sue said.

"That means yer gonna expect me to have to punch myself in the ugly kisser, doesn't it?" Ben asked.

"I'll trade partners, Ben. I'd love the chance to give you the biggest hotfoot in the world without my sister getting on my back for it," the Torch said

Changes to tas? FF and Skrulls are the same, right?

Your map doesn't show your changes. Being your first turn and so much was done, I'll ask you to fix it so I'm not making any mistakes.

Map is below.

FF TA is the same. Skrulls is the same except if the figure had both Skrull TA and Shape Change showing, instead of getting two rolls, their SC roll succeeds on a 4-6.

Minions of Doom is now whenever character with this TA KOs a figure, you choose a figure with the TA and can heal that figure 1. Doesn't have to be the one that made the KO.

I just realized the limitations to Franklin. Whatever, it's fine.

I also upgraded Reed so that he gets Doombots whenever you target my guys with perplex, pc or outwit. Meant to do that before.

Thing makes a Buzz and Chuck.

I don't like this in-your-face approach.

Reed boosts Nova and Sue's dvs.

Nova carries Chuck to G22, she's F22.

Trapster to J11.

Johnny carts Sue to H7, he's G6.

Aww, you gonna make me pick on Trapster?

Doom, Leadership 5. takes the token off Sue. Reed can give the other 4 Leadership too. He rolls 3, Ben 4, Johnny 1.

Ghost Rider HSS to P16, shoots out the wall in N14/N15, ends R20

Doom RS to S20, has a perfect diagonal on Trapster through the hole. AV13 on DV17 +1. Gets 7. With Enhancement from both Sue and Torch, he easily KOs Trapster.

That gives Valeria a token.

Valeria rolls 3 for her Hunting Anomalies Trait. Places herself in S19

Doom Perplexes Ghost Rider's DV +1

Since you were good enough to point out the thing with Reed's Doombots, I've got several things I should point out.

Reed is Protected from Outwit

Torch has ABSORB FLAME: Human Torch and adjacent friendly characters take no
damage from Energy Explosion or Poison. (Important when I have so many clustered guys)

For Valeria:
When an opposing character is placed within 4 squares and line of fire, after resolutions deal them 1 penetrating damage. (Placing, not moving. They can move OK, but no TK, or other things that Place)

Ghost Rider has SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE: POWER: If no friendly character has been placed this turn, choose an opposing character that attacked a friendly character since your last turn. Place Ghost Rider such that she can make a close attack targeting the chosen character, then do so.

"The Trapster? That is who you have chosen to lead your vanguard? Pathetic," Dr. Doom said, blasting him into oblivion.

I really wish you hadn't pushed such an aggressive posture in this. Trapster is a good piece and he won't get a shot here but of that. These games are about figuring out how good a piece is. Of course it might have helped suggesting a less in-your-face approach a few turns back.

Blastaar. RS to I16 ee on Thing and Doom C. Ben sc: 1. Rolls 6. 2 to him and Doom C. 1 to Doom A. Very mediocre but a great piece, I think.
