I don't know how smart it is giving up my Mastermind out here by putting him in a place not adjacent to Skull, but I think it's the best chance I have to turn things around.

HYDRA Turn 9B

free) Red Skull perplexes up his own defense by +1.

Good game sir. The map was definately my ally as it gave my higher range even more of an advantage, and allowed my Force Blast to be a more dangerous deterrent on bringing up the LAMP. Good luck the rest of the season!

Hey, good game! Yeah, I've had two older maps full of elevated terrain and few accessible entryways in the last two games, now. It's really revealed some weak spots in my team with my lack of flight and mobility. Unfortunately, the HYDRA keyword does not have many fliers outside of Fixer.

It was a fun game! Good luck the rest of the season!

Baron Strucker will use his 12 SA's to pick up Contingency Plan (was hoping to save it for something else as I realize you can only have 1 per team build, but giving the next game my best shot might be necessary for playoffs, and sub-par HYDRA values need some lifting and Red Skull won't be able to do it.)
