Dude... Space Phantom's aren't supposed to be this tough. How are the dice this much in their favor? Wow...

Most of the attacking has been through hindering terrain, they've had access to both combat reflexes AND ES/D thanks to Jazinda, they've had PC for most the game in a position where it can see everything, plus the odd super senses and shape change (again, in part thanks to Jazinda).

I think you may have severely underestimated their power, especially considering that all my figures in this fight are from pre-avengers/pre-NECA sets while the Space Phantoms are nice, shiny new figures from the last year or so.

Though on the other hand, Jazinda seems to have avoided an absurd amount of attacks this game, so it seems things have rolled both ways.

(These SHAPE CHANGE rolls are unbelievable! :speechles)

"He's right," thought Jazinda. "It feels like we've been fighting for months."
Even as the thought crossed her mind, the Wraith leader struck again. Jazinda dodged, but her wounds had taken their toll. Twisting sideways, she managed to avoid a killing stroke, but was nonetheless knocked senseless to the floor.
"The Skrull is dead!" cried the other Wraith who had been battling Jazinda. "The human falls next!"

With the awful dice you've had this game, I kinda feel bad bringing this up, but...
Tor is still using COMBAT REFLEXES which he got from Jazinda on turn 5, so Major Victory missed.
Would that change what you do this turn?

Sorry, made the mistake of thinking it was something that wasn't long term somehow.

No problem!

1) Adam Warlock targets Tor, Shape change is 3. Adam attacks Tor 8 vs 15 (+2, 17 total). Attack roll is 5,4 (9), which should be just enough to hit. Tor takes 2 damage, and Adam gets 2 IAP.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

"I think they're trying to go around." Rocket said, his heightened animal senses giving him a nose up on where their attackers might have been going.

"You know what?" Quill replied. "Now would be a good time to let 'em. Run."

Waving for Rocket and Mantis to move even as he was still trying to carry the unconscious body of Gamora, the three Guardians tried to pull a fast one and make their way past the Wraith's previous position, with Quill hoping it would allow them to push out of the area and make a clean break for the Osiris.

Guardians Turn 15-B

1) Star-Lord moves to L13.
2) Mantis moves to L12.
3) Rocket moves to K12.

Rocket will use PC on the first successful attack he sees.

Well, it would have been enough to hit, if Ed didn't PERPLEX Tor's +1 last turn.

Invigorated by Jazinda's supposed death, the Dire Wraith leaped recklessly between Adam Warlock and Major Victory, barely avoiding the Guardians' blows.
Diving beneath Major Victory's guard, the Wraith landed a powerful strike to Vance's midsection, sending him flying backward.
Warlock, unfortunately, could do nothing but watch as a familiar, paralyzing pain washed over him once again.

(Good riddance to that mess of a game. )

So, 16 turns is the game? I wasn't sure.

Do I take a final turn? I don't know if it affects your points either way.

Thanks for letting me play the Wraiths. I really enjoyed the story aspect. It adds a whole new dimension to the game.

Best of luck to the Guardians in their future adventures.

Rules thread says that games are typically 16 turns, so yep. Though it would probably be on the safe side if you took your final turn just to be sure.

The pain wracking Adam Warlock's body continued to intensify.
"I've gathered enough data for years of study," said the Wraith holding the scanner as he twisted a knob on the device. "How much more will I learn by wearing this body?"
Warlock heard these words through a haze of agony. As consciousness fled, he felt a twinge of something he had rarely felt before: fear.
