I offer you the Bat Sentry. He's mildly useful but not a gem.

Two-Face rolls 4, he's a bad guy which is best for me.

Ok, I'm cutting my losses this game. I'll draft Maul in at Voodoo's spot as my last piece.

Dove charges to N11 attacking Bats and carting Maul to N12. Needs 9, rolls 3.

Dove uses her defend on Maul of course. Maul perplexes her dv by 1.

Reddy tks Bats to J14. Not before Batgirl makes his dv + 1.

Bats on Lightning. Needs 7 + 1, gets 8. 3 to Lightning.

Bats outwits Grifter's tk.

Batgirl to H15.

Two-Face outwits Lightning's pulse wave.

"Hello Batman, fancy see you hiding here," Dove says, "Have you met my friend?".

Maul simply growls at him as his way of menacing him. Batman merely looks him right in the face and Maul rethink his approach.

That was just who I had in mind for you, but I have a backup or two.

If I remember correctly, we had originally determined that the game would end when the first figure is KOd that can't be replaced. That could be as soon as this turn (though probably not) if you want to stick with it. We could say when Batman's KOd, when one side is down to 4 pieces, just to the bitter end, until conceded, all sorts of other options.

Grifter's not on his TK click, but with his token, I wasn't planning on pushing, so no harm I guess.

Scarecrow to I14

Black Lightning pushes to I13, uses his Outsiders on Batman.

Two-Face rolls for his alliance: 2. He's good.

Maul needs 10 to hit Batman. He should up his av but I want damage: rolls 8, so darn close...has flurry and gets 12. Sweet....in many ways. Bats takes 3 from Maul, a 4th for the critical hit and kb to K9 where he takes 2 more. Hmmm...or does he? Does his improved movement change that? Let me know as it will change my tally and maybe my turn.

Batman makes his av 11.

My Batman quakes. Gets 5. KOs Lightning, 2 to Scarecrow, 1 to Bat Sentry and kb to K12 where he takes 1 more. Hugo and the Goons are a-ok.

Batgirl boosts Two-Face's damage to 3. Two-Face on Scarecrow. Needs 3, gets 4, It's enough for a ko.

Even without Batman I've unlocked my 50 point piece.

Two-Face flips a coin. He looks up to Scarecrow. "I guess it's your bad luck," he says looking up at him and blasting him.

"Let's try this again," says Maul charging Batman. In doing so Batman falls off the roof.

"I killed Batman...did I just kill Batman?" Maul says.

"Don't be silly," Dove says, "You didn't kill Batman.....did you?".

I don't think the improved movement would do anything to protect Batman, so he's down. But for what it's worth, Batgirl can't use her Perplex on Two-Face. Hugo Strange's SP prevents others within 4 squares from using Perplex or Outwit. Two-Face only does 2 to Scarecrow. He's still in the game. Woo.

For your 50 pointer, I give you Batzarro. Maybe a little newer and better a piece than you envisioned for the unlockables, but that's ok. He's fun and I wanted to include him.

Batwoman enters, replacing Black Lightning. She Perplexes her AV to 11. Wait, no, she can't stupid Hugo. Lucius will have to move to N4 to make that Perplex.

Hugo has to push to G14 so that Grifter can Perplex Batwoman's Damage to 3

Batwoman with Flurry on Batman. AV11 on DV16 +2. Gets 9. That's 3 to Batman and that's a KO.

Second Flurry on Batgirl, AV11 -1 (her SP penalizes her second attack) on DV17. Gets 7. 2 to her after Toughness.

Grifter uses his Quickfire, double targets Dove and Maul, first with Psi-Blast, AV11 on DV18 for both with Dove's Defend. Gets 7. SS is 4. I'll give the 2 to Dove.

Second attack, can't use powers, just a straight attack, same 2 targets. Needs 17 for Dove, 16 for Maul. Gets 6. Maul's likely to be trouble. But I'll go with Dove again, for 1 more after Toughness.

Paul to G15

I'm guessing the Sentry needs to move off the gap or take another click, so I'll have him Leap to H17

Hugo Outwits Batgirl's Perplex.

"Ah-ah, you kill our Batman, we kill yours," Batwoman said punching at the other team's Batman off the roof and spinning to kick Batgirl.

"You keep sending my old teammates up against me," Grifter said, "but this time though, I'll save Maul for later and shoot the one carrying him around.

First of all I'll adjust my points to include Batman but remove Scarecrow. Minus 50 for Batzarro leaves me 11 towards a possible third unlocked figure.

I think you went to extremes on the figures you gave. Catgirl is worth next to nothing in this particular game but Batzarro is a gift. I do appreciate him but I think, especially this early on, I'll focus more of pre-sp figures mostly---where their cost values may not be so high.

Two-Face rolls for his allegiance and gets a 2. He's a Bat ally. Needs 3 to ko Scarecrow, gets 10. A wasted 10 but now I get points for him.

Tornado tks Blackbat to F15.

She quakes. Rolls 5, enough to hit Hugo for 2 and knocks him off the roof to I12 for a ko.

Dove to G18 carting Maul to G17.

Batzarro to J15 outwitting Batwoman's cr.

Now that Hugo's out, perplexing is no longer an issue. Batgirl's on a darned good click. Almost too many options with it. Maul makes her damage 3. She makes her damage 4. I still don't understand those Goons so I'll target Batwoman. Needs 6, rolls 10. 4 to her. Wait...Batgirl has flurry: needs 6 for a ko, gets 4.

"Batzarro here to help enemies!".

"Help?" asks Maul.

"Yeah well, Batzaro's a little confused," says Dove as they fly over the battle, "You'll get used to it."

"We're doing well," he adds.

"For now," Dove says, "They're not done. Not even close."

Think of the Goons like automatically having an infinite Lazarus Pit on them. Except that instead of clicking them back up their dial, you click them further down until you get to the next "dial" clicks, and then they come back in the starting area. Now that you've KOd Hugo, their designated boss, the Goons are goners. All those countdown clicks become KO. One decent hit on any of them and they're out. Not really sure I played either them or Hugo properly. But that's what these games are for, to get a feel for these figures and figure out how they work.

Yeah I'll probably regret giving you Batzarro, he's a little too good, but done is done.

I have 10 points left. With our typical "within 5 points" rule, I could bring in some bats. Otherwise I'm done. I'll do Black ones, they're cheapest, fly to L8. If you object, either to the slight overage in points, or in using the Bats as figures as opposed to upgrades, I'll take them back, that's fine. If that's the case, can unused points be carried over for XP? I don't know what you're final total was, but I'd be okay with that.

Composite TKs Zsasz to J13.

Zsasz on Batzarro, AV9 on DV16. Gets 4. Zsasz has been a dud for me.

"Guys! She cheesed the boss!" Murray said, shooting Blackbat. With uncanny luck, he actually managed to hit the skilled fighter.

"Cheese. I'll slice this guy up like cheese," Zsasz said.

"Mmmm, Batzarro hates cheese. Limburger smell so good!"

Totally ok with drafting a bat. It fits within our up to 5 points over general rule.

Two-Face rolls 2 and is good still...

Reddy to break Maul? 6. TKs him to O15.

Maul to off Batwoman. Ups his av to 10. A 6 will do it, gets 6. She's out.

Blackbat needs 6 to ko Paul. Gets 3 and 7 with flurry. He's out.

Batgirl on Peter. Needs 6, rolls 6. Another down. Boosts Batzarro's dv by 1.

Batzarro & Blackbat outwit Grifter's perplex and Quickfire sp.

Dove to break? 4. Moves to I24, pushing.

"Think you're leaving the party so soon? I don't think so, girl, you forgot the dessert," Maul says slamming Batwoman unconscious.

"Got to give it to the guy," Batgirl says hitting a goon with a batarang, "He's pretty effective."

"Hear this too then," Murray said, opening fire at Blackbat. "This is for my buddies."

"Dude, chill out," Grifter told him.

"I won't. You cross Murray Stepankowitz and you're dead. People gotta learn that. And I don't care if you're wearing a bat or not."
