Expertly played game. I didn't see what was coming at all in the beginning. The bait move was one of the most skillful I've seen in months. Good luck in the finals. I hope we meet again during the constructed tournament.

Thanks - I never doubt myself when I agonize over the choice of a map.

While I think that choice surprised you a bit (and was unfamilar), my goal was to find a way to negate your 1-square range advantage. Even though I have a mobile & well-ranged team, your perplex means that if Punisher gets off that first shot, probably against Hawkeye, probably from stealth, I'm in trouble.

And I realized after I did it that Spider-Man was baity. I wanted to toss Phoenix out there for the first shot on Beast (with her 11 av and ability to stay just outside a perplexed-charge range) but had set up wrong to do that.

But, not for nothing, your double-push gave me a big opening to set up the first shot and be on the offensive after that.

Anyway, good game. I hope to play you again. I'm not going to d o well in constructed, I dont' think, because this is my best team!

Beast to L-20.
the rest clear.

just realized i was supposed to finish this up. you're free to ow beast's toughness and go for the crit hit KO though. I don't know if points matter at all - perhaps seeding?

free) beast OW toughness (realized after the fact that it was pointless)
Phienix RCE on Punisher. 10 vs 16. Roll is a 5,2 hit for the KO.
