Hello, all…

OK. So I've gotten myself into a two-day, two-part, old-school tournament this coming weekend. Here are the rules for Day One…

1.) 300-point Build Total
2.) Theme-teamed Based
3.) No ATAs, BFCs, or FEATs
4.) Figures allowed are Golden Age Only
5.) 16-Team Bracket Formation
6.) 4' x 8' Gaming Table Format

So here's what I'm thinking of running…

X-Force; 300 points
Boom-Boom (Rookie; Xplosion) - 14 points
Cable (Rookie; Mutant Mayhen) - 76 points
Cannonball (Experienced; Armor Wars) - 85 points
Shatterstar (Experienced; Mutations and Monsters) - 57 points
Warpath (Veteran; Armor Wars) - 68 points

Let me know what you think. I'll post Part 2 of the tournament later...

Forgot to add two additional rules for the tournament...

1.) 10-Round Time Limit
2.) Objective-based

If OMA are allowed...

...Sentry/Void = WIN

Interesting X Force team. I think I'd go a different route if it's a highly competitive venue where you actually are likely to run into things like Sentry/Void, KC Green Lantern, Ult Thor and other top tiers of old. However if you really enjoy the team and have some plan for positioning it against those teams go for it. I'm not clear on what objective based means, but my first thought is the objective tokens from Mage Knight 2.0. Boom Boom seems like a good choice for the rear token if that is the case if for nothing more than being 14 points.

Thanks for all of the input so far...

"Objective-based" means that whatever team you field must complete a certain Mission Objective (i.e. cross the map, rescue a hostage, etc.) within the Game Time Limit.

Keep the suggestions (and criticisms) coming...

Well...I went 1 for 3 this weekend.

I actually won this game.

It came down to me spreading X-Force out, all over the table, and using hit-and-run tactics on my opponents. And good dice rolls helped too...

My final opponent was against a force completely made up of Minions of Doom. It consisted of:

Doctor Doom (Limited Edition; Clobberin' Time) - 68 points
Doombot (Rookie; Clobberin' Time) - 27 points
Doombot (x2; Experienced; Clobberin' Time) - 66 points
Ultron (Experienced; Infinity Challenge) - 139 points

My opponent's lack of a Team Ability helped me tremendously. It came down to a fully-healed Cable versus Ultron, who had taken a couple of hits early on. Bad die rolls on the part of my opponent, coupled with 2 Critical Hits from Cable, and staying with my hit-and-run tactics, won me the day.

I walked away with an Illyana Rasputin (Limited Edition; Critical Mass; #213), something I ain't seen in years.

But it was a good game, and a good time.
