400 points Modern Age Single Set only (CA, IH, SM, GG, AVM)
Map Utilization
Most Used:
1. Metropolis - 4 times (all by Geof-Force)
2. Prison - 4 times (all by arKhIM asylum)
3. Krakoa - 4 times (twice by LabRat, twice by tsuruchijo)
4. Ferris Airport - 3 times
Wala lang, kung gusto niyong aralin ang meta based on map choice. Underrated talaga ang map choice pag dating sa pag prepare sa meta.
Prison, Krakoa and Ferris Airport, i get their uses. Can someone explain what's the advantage of using Metropolis over other similar maps? Is it for "move and attack" teams? Bricks/Tentpoles? i want to know for future team building consideration.

Sa tingin ko pag Superman team gamit mo feel na feel mo ang pag play mo sa kanila sa Metropolis.. Super Heroic ba. (joke)

Map is of course important in any turn based stategy game. In most cases, it dictates the tempo of the match.
Yun lang naman ang pananw ko sa buhay.... hehehehehe
I have to agree.....
2 tournaments ago, I told Geoff that i don't mind the map choice.....
He used the scrap yard? with HOT Cap and gave my only loss for that tournament...
despite that.....i would still settle with my 3 maps since those are the only ones I got......hehehehe.....
Certain builds really excell at certain maps....sabi nga ni ecchs....mag metropolis theme ka.....malakas ka sa metropolis map.....
I just hope I get to play this weekend....planning to play something "different" just for the sake of it.
I would have to agree also! I think this why you'll rarely see Colossals and those 6x3 Colossals in play! If you field these, your opponent's Thematic team will most likely go first, giving you Maps that will hinder your xtra large footprint... Indoor Maps, Krakoa, Muspelheim.... :speechles
May battle report din ako (sort of):
Played 400pt sealed event yesterday sa Heroclix Online (Wos/GSX mixed set). Netted me SR Sandman, Vulcan, Spidey w/ sooper dooper senses, Black Cat, Ben Reilly, Will o the Wisp, Prowler, Puma, Skullbuster and another one I forgot. Went with Vulcan, Spidey and Ben (Should have gone Outlaws: Sandman, Will, Puma and Spidey)
Anyway, format is 1 round elimination, top 2 fight for the LE prize + clixbux (HCO currency). Kalaban ko had a Emma Frost, Skullbuster, Molten Man, same Spidey I have, Pretty Boy, and another 1 I forgot. I was outactioned until I whittled down his team to Pretty Boy, Spidey (1st click), and the other guy I forgot. My Vulcan was on his 8 click thanks to his Spidey and the others. I decided for Vulcan to move away and take potshots na lang from afar. hindi ko nabantayan sa kakatira nya na magkakaroon sya ng dalawang token. nilapitan ni spidey sabay binanatan pagka-pass next turn. pagadating ng endgame, 2 spidey na lang natira, ang score ay 313 sya, 309 ako. spidey ko was on its 2nd click, sa kanya fresh. nilapitan ko para one-on-one na lang matira matibay. eh dahil paubos na oras ang mahoosay na kalaban ko sige lang ang lundag palayo. nakonsensya lang ata nung nakita nyang pi-nush ko na lang si spidey para ilapit sa kanya. nakibigwas pa sya ng isang beses until time run out.
Lesson learn: kahit saan nga naman, meron talagang mga ganitong players. hehehe (btw, lamang ako nung buhay pa si Vulcan. Pwede rin akong tumakbo if I chose too, pero laking ATC tayo so..............

-----
Wolverine was first pick, went to maniladawg... OLATS got SR Ghost Rider from the booster draft... blackdatu won Spider-Man via the raffle.
Despite having two highly competitive figures (Nightcrawler, Professor X), X-Men teams only won once against Avengers/SHIELD teams. With Nightcrawler rotating out of Modern Age, I'm guessing the X-Men theme will lose some of its competitiveness.
Also, OLATS and I saw the potential in a Quasar/Nick Fury/Infinity Gauntlet (I'm sure others have too) but it's a big investment. Too bad WoS Iron Man will also be retired soon - I think WoS Iron Man/Nick Fury/40 point Gauntlet allows for more support.

I would have to agree that Nightcrawler would be a big loss for X-men themes but i if I may say so, it's not the end.....being an x-men fan and all....
I really envy those who were able to play since I would have really favored playing a Brotherhood or x-men theme......over the avengers
there is always a next time.....
have you seen a magnetic fastball.....Mags with the new juggers.....(huh?)
That could be a fun theme!
@al/players last sunday: kanino naka-assign yung mga Infinity Gauntlets? Thanks.
Since the Gauntlet can be assigned to a different character at the start of each match, the current Battle Report sheet can't accomodate that info, so I don't know who was wielding the Gauntlet on all of the matches. For me, it was Nightcrawler, Quasar, and Professor X, respectively.

Gauntlet can't be assigned to a different character each round, it should be constant throughout the event. (source: latest players' guide, section 10 regarding resources/infinity gauntlet)

Then we've been ruling it wrong then. Don't you remember this happening during one of the IG events? Nadiscuss lang sa akin ito dun eh.
