This might be a good idea to go with. I too like the current pacing but a little extra time to complete games would be appreciated. Then again my schedule is a mess curently so my ability to play is kind of random right now. I'm hopeful of getting a big game for the invasion together with my local store group this weekend.

As much as it pains me to say yes. Mainly because I'm a slow writer and I'm currently taking classes. So my ability to keep up with the weekly writeup is rather shot.
But I'm good with whatever decision you make.

I'd hate to slow things down to make accommodations for me. These last couple weeks have been rough RL with a hurricane and sickness and death in the family. At this point, I'm content to watch things unfold and drop in a match if I can get things organized in time, but it's perfectly fine if I don't.

Definitely not just for you--as I was looking back over the past few weeks to update the Dramatis Personae section I saw that it seems like two or three different regulars run into scheduling issues each chapter, so in the interest of making sure everyone who can play has a chance to, I threw this out.

I'm leaning toward the same schedule, but making sure the chapters don't depend on the one immediately preceding so that results can factor in later.

I think that would be ideal. Because there are some players who knock the game out the day it's posted, and it'd be no fun to keep them waiting for slowpokes.

Sounds doable as long as the game and story is still fun that’s the main thing.

Thanos lead the Changers to a hard fought victory. The Changers had there full roster of Strange, Moon Knight, Spider-Man, Star-Girl, Nightwing, Lockjaw and Emma Frost with help from the Incredible Hulk. Ronan the Accuser, Captain Atlas and Dr. Minerva lead a group of Kree solidiers and a squad of Spaceknights who were able to swarm and take out the Hulk and other heroes but ultimately Thanos and Emma came out on top being relatively unscratched.

Shoot! I lost track of time until Part 2. At the very least, here are my teams, with roughly half the Changers fighting the Kree army, and the other half fighting the Inhumans, and 2 maps put together so that the fights can cross over.

With Ms. Marvel's inclusion, combined with the Star Trek stuff being introduced, I feel like there's a "Wrath of Khan" joke to be made.

Hey, guys. Calling an audible and officially skipping the bonus mission this week because EVERYTHING in Chapter 11 depends on how the battles from Chapter 10 pan out. Two recommendations:

Instead of a match, if you've already played out the battle, pick any of the characters we've established in the Dramatis Personae and write their reaction upon hearing about the Kree invasion. What would they do? Would they care?

If you haven't played the match but are overwhelmed, pick a smaller squad and just play a corner of the battle. Thanos alone agains 300 points of Klingons. Hulk, Emma, and Spidey against 500 points of Kree. Any combination, just pick a sliver of the battle and post the results.

Big, big story events for Chapter 11. You've got til Saturday night to post results to have an impact on the story, so if you can, post away!

*sigh*

sorry i've been out of the loop lately...

Life has been stupid busy (finally dropped from 4 jobs to 3) so i'll have some time again. But my venue is falling apart for clix so... i may be just playing myself from now

I like the idea of playing slivers of the battle, so I've split my 1500 point behemoth of a fight into 5 smaller battles. All the characters are the same dials as before. There's one addition, so I'll note their dial when I get around to the write-up.

Round 1: 400 Points
Hulk and Lockjaw
vs.
Beast Boy, Triton, Fire and Ice, a Kree Sentry, and a Kree Major

Round 2: 250 Points
Spider-Man and Stargirl (Blue Lantern)
vs.
Ms. Marvel

Round 3: 400 Points
Thanos and Captain Hero
vs.
Ronan, Captain Marvel, a Kree Sentry, a Kree General, and a Kree Lieutenant

Round 4: 200 Points
Nightwing and Moon Knight
vs.
Quake, Livewire, and a Kree Private

Round 5: 300 Points
Emma Frost and Stephen Strange
vs.
Dr. Minerva, Captain Atlas, and 2 Kree Privates

Then, given enough time, I plan to funnel the survivors into a final battle. Wish me luck!

This is a great idea for bigger fights. When I was playing rather than DMing, I was always able to squeeze in multiple mini-fights but would struggle with the 1000 point+ fights some weeks. Good idea and good luck!

The fiancee opted for a big game. Teams are now built. Here we go.

I decided that A.) The Inhuman Royal Family is not among the Inhuman slaves (perhaps they are planning a revolution of their own) and B.) Resurrection Man is an Inhuman Tektite experiment since I've been itching to use him. I opted not to do the dirty trick of putting Supreme Intelligence as a Resource on Resurrection Man, who is only KOed if the rest of his team is wiped out first, which means the bulk of the SI dial would be on the map once I get through the resource dial. I'm concerned enough about how this will play as is, with SI's ability to target all over the map...

(she always fills points with that black cat. It's adorable).

I've also decided that the real reason Thanos joined the fight is because the Kree have Thane in their thrall. Papa's got something to say about that.

Not sure when this game will get finished, but hopefully in time to matter!

Moon Knight lifted the bottom of his mask and spat blood onto the ground before sliding it back down and squaring up to the Kree in front of him. The blue-skinned alien hefted his massive hammer and glared at Marc, his expression burning with hatred and derision.

"Do you believe you can stand against me, earthling?" Ronan asked. 'I, who have conquered galaxies in the name of the Kree empire?"

"You bet your ass I can stand against you," Moon Knight replied. "Though for how long is another question," he continued silently.

A voice responded to his thoughts, "Don't worry, Marc. I've got your back. All will be well."

Moon Knight glanced over to where Emma lay unconscious. Even when she was taken out of the fight she was able to keep them all connected. She is full of surprises he thought. Marc was pulled from his reverie by Ronan's charge. He was barely able to sidestep before the Kree slammed his massive hammer down in the spot that Marc just stood.

"There's no point in delaying the inevitable, human," Ronan continued. "Your world will fall into line just like all the others."

"Oh really?" Moon Knight shot back. "I guess you haven't noticed what my friends over there have been doing to your forces." He pointed a thumb over his shoulder to where Thanos was felling Kree left and right while the Hulk launched himself into a Klingon war band. After a few moments the Klingons were defeated and the green monster leaped off to find more opponents.

Ronan sneered. "It matters not. Once I have disposed of you, I will destroy your allies and claim this planet for the glory of the Kree!" Ronan moved with surprising speed, catching Moon Knight off guard. His hammer swing down, and Moon Knight braced for the impact against his ribs. Right before contact, a shimmering blue energy field covered his body. The hammer connected, but slid harmlessly off of the blue light.

"Who dares?!" Ronan shouted as he searched for the source of the shield. The Blue Lantern descended and placed herself between Moon Knight and the Kree.

"Last chance," Courtney said. "Either leave this planet and never return or we teach you the hard way not to mess with Earth." Despite multiple injuries she had suffered in the battle, she still stood straight, defiant in the face of the invader.

"Foolish child, you cannot hope to stand against me."

Moon Knight stepped forward to stand side-by-side with the Blue Lantern. "As soon as I move, go high," he whispered to Courtney. Moon Knight leaped forward and Courtney flew off up to the left. Before Ronan could react he was brought to his knees by a combination of strikes from Moon Knight and a barrage of blue light from the Lantern. Moon Knight stood slowly.

"Impossible..." gasped Ronan. "I cannot be defeated!"

A powerful energy blast caught the Kree warlord in the back, sending him sprawling. Thanos approached his unconscious form, pressing an armored foot onto Ronan's back. "There is only one here who can claim that power," the God of Death said.

Beneath his mask, Moon Knight rolled his eyes. "Courtney," Moon Knight said, "we need to go check on the others. Are you able to heal them?"

Courtney pulled her hair back from her face while she held a glowing hand to her side. "Yeah, I think I can manage it." For the first time, Moon Knight was struck by the fact that the Blue Lantern was really just a kid. Maybe they were pushing her too hard. Moon Knight stuck a hand out, hesitated, then haltingly patted the Blue Lantern on the shoulder.

"You're a...good kid, Courtney," Moon Knight said. He quickly removed his hand and turned toward Emma. As he moved toward her, he heard the Blue Lantern follow.
--------------------------------------------------
WINNER: The Changers
SURVIVORS: Thanos, Hulk, Stargirl, Moon Knight
MVP: Thanos
NOTABLE OCCURRENCE: Maybe it was a little cheesy to use a Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet, but wow was he effective in this fight. His "One Half of All Life, Gone in an Instant" trait did about 25 clicks of damage all told across the game.
KLINGON CHOICE: It wasn't outlined in the above, but I would like to submit that the Klingons are not only willing allies of the Kree, but also working on fully integrating their species.
--------------------------------------------------
BONUS STORY: The Red Lantern watched a recording of the invasion from his makeshift throne room. Images poured in of the combined Kree and Klingon forces destroying Star City. He smirked at the devastation but soon his expression hardened. It was clear that these invaders aimed to conquer the planet. Maybe he could use this to his advantage. He summoned a Red Atlantean to his side.

"Send a message out to these Kree," Namor commanded. "Inform them that we may be able to assist each other and I would be willing to speak with them."

"My king, what if they refuse?" the Atlantean asked.

A wicked smile crossed Namor's face. "Then we burn them all to the ground," he responded.
