Wow. Curse of the Astral Strange! Excuse me if I don't really feel comfortable while Hamilton is still on top click.

Here goes nothing.....

Defenders Turn 5A:

Free) Dr. Strange uses his "Concentrate on One Projection" and chooses Steel.

Free x3) Rick Jones, Scarlet Witch and Dr. Strange all Perplex Strange's AV UP. (+3)

1) Dr. Strange ranged attack against Steel.
-13AV vs 17DV(15+2ES/D). Need 4.
-Attack roll is...........5. Not a great roll, but it's enough for the hit.
-Damage is 3 which is good enough for the KO!
-1 SA 1 KO Dr. Strange. I needed 2 AV bumps, so I'll go ahead and give the ASTs to Scarlet Witch and Rick Jones.
-Push click. (6/8)

Free) Brother Voodoo wants to target Dubbilex with Mind Control.
-Shape Change roll.........5. Nevermind.

Tough decision on whether to push Voodoo to run away or not. I think he will stand his ground.

Free) Astral Strange however has no such delusions of grandeur and Phases to M17.

Clear Witch, Jones, Voodoo and the Astral.

*Voodoo will PC the first hit he can see.

Good game sir. It never ceases to amaze me how Shape Change and Super Senses by themselves can completely dominate the momentum of a game. It just came out on my end this time. That's basically all there is to it. Not some crazy awesome strategy by me, not some huge misstep on your part. Just got the 5s and 6s when it mattered.

I was super sweating at the beginning of the game even with the injury because I assumed you'd go with the Manhunter Grandmaster, so my team was plotted with that in mind. If I had known it would be Eradicator, I would have dropped Scarlet Witch down to 50 and probably would have played my Eye of Agamatto object to try and avoid those cursed Shape Change/SS rolls.

Good game, and good luck in the final!

Yeah, if just *one* of those super senses rolls had failed things would have looked hugely different, but alas, it was not to be.

And I figured that if I brought any version of Hank anywhere *near* this match he'd just be Mind Controlled and/or Psychic blasted straight to hell so I'd be an idiot to rely on him (besides, last round's match showed that he couldn't even beat a squirrel, so he had that against him too!).

I figured my best shot would be to bring someone with defences that actually mattered against Mind Control and Psychic Blast, so at least I called that one right

Ah well, I'd be lying if I said that this wasn't my best season ever, and I think closing out with a 10-1 record isn't bad at all for the Reign of the Supermen to disband on. Next season, it'll be time to bring back the Freedom Phalanx!
