How did the Foom game go?

Who won it?

Foom was won by Matt, as recounted in the dedicated thread.

And on to the next tournament...

Next week, Sunday the 4th of May - Comic Accurate Teams!

• 400 point constructed tournament.
• Retirement is not in effect.
• Two rounds, two battlefield conditions.
• Your force must consist of a comic-accurate team lineup.
• Any Questions?

This is indeed the same format as we're running at the Tin Soldier later in the week.

For May we've got a set of "Crisis-themed" tournaments. These three tournaments are high-point battles that allow players to bring out the biggest heroes and baddest villains, including colossal figures, but with a few twists to keep things interesting and avoid the tried-and-tested old strategies from dominating the field.


Sunday the 11th of May: Alliances Tested!

Part One of three high-point clix crises! Only the most dedicated of super teams have a chance to fight with their normal effectiveness, but with the threat of colossal perils on the horizon, they must try...

• 600 point constructed tournament.
• Retirement is not in effect.
• Your force must be all-heroic or all-villainous.
• Characters cannot use any team abilities unless they are adjacent to a friendly character with the same team symbol.

EDIT: Alliances Tested was won by M.O.D.O.C. and Fin Fang Foom!

Sunday the 18th of May: Plans Unravel!

Part Two of three high-point clix crises! The plans of heroes and the schemes of villains alike aren't going as expected. Your preparations may turn against you, but if you think fast you could find an unexpected edge...

• 600 point constructed tournament.
• Retirement is not in effect.
• At the beginning of each game, your opponent chooses which of your unused battlefield conditions you must play that game (he must choose one).
• Outwit cannot be used counter powers possessed by opposing characters. Instead, Outwit can be used to counter a single opposing feat until the beginning of your next turn. Other rules for Outwit apply normally.

Sunday the 25th of May: Cross-Universe Crisis!

Part Three of three high-point clix crises! With foes such as the Anti-Monitor, Lord Foom, and the Devourer of Worlds rampaging across reality, only one universe can survive...

• 600 point constructed tournament.
• Retirement is in effect (restricted environment).
• All of the characters on your force must belong to the same universe (all Marvel, all DC, or all Indy).
• Once per turn when you declare an attack (but before the roll), you can choose to have the attack deal penetrating damage if it succeeds.

These line up with the final three weeks of the American Crisis events, and thus the tournaments have the same point totals, but are a little less vanilla. If we ever actually get the Crisis tournament maps then we could certainly play on them (bit of a long shot at this point). The Anti-Monitor set also comes with a pretty cool map.
