"Thunderbolt! Let's rock Avalanche's world!" Jakeem Thunder said.

"Yooouuu got it!" the Thunderbolt rocketed off.

"No. The man is under my protection," Dr. Fate said, casting a shielding spell.

"That just ain't fair," Jakeem complained.

So far it seems that Redux is our weakest event, we'll see how that plays out.

I roll 7, another duel.

Amazo needs 7 to hit Jakeem, rolls 6. Fate makes it 8. 4 to him after toughness.

Fate needs 6 for a ko, rolls 9. Jakeem's toast.

Av barriers P11-14 and Darkstar smoke clouds P15-17, Q16.

Let's bring in Hercules to play with Mandarin.

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

For the duel I roll for adjacency. 3, means they're adjacent. Not ideal, can Herc break? 3. I'll choose flurry over cce. Herc on Mandy. Needs 6, rolls 8 ( 2 4s). 3 to Mandy and kb to L23.

Darkstar appears next to the Mandarin via the Darkforce. "Here Mandarin, a gift!".

"Ho, Mandarin! Thou art a foe of friend Iron Man! Let us see if thou art in a God's league," says Hercules slamming him.

The distraction cause Jakeem Thunder to turn. "That's a false move, Jakeem," Dr. Fate says binding him and sending him harmlessly away, "You should know better!".

Argh. Worst case scenario for Mandarin.

Event's a 6. Redux. Again. Ugh.

So standing at the edge of the bridge and letting you shoot at me really isn't working for me.

Doomsday to G3, picking up the HO in I2.

Comedian to M19

GL to H8

Not really sure what to do with my replacement. I guess with Jakeem gone, I could use some PC again. Per Degaton with Dissent. You do have Mystic out there. Could come in handy. Stays in B15 for now.

http://www.ianparmenter.com/hcutils2...6&y2=x178y-121

Moonstone passes, just Perplexing her DV up to 17

You didn't link to the map for the Herc/Mandarin duel. I know it's the Street map and I know they're adjacent so I'll improvise. Mandarin's toast. His best hope is to stall Hercules and keep him out of the main game for a bit. Tries to MC Herc, AV8 on DV18. Gets 8. Fails. Takes 1 for pushing.

“Unhand me, you stupid brute,” the Mandarin ordered Hercules, using the power of his Mento-Intensifier ring to try to control him.

“Methinks thou’rt not used to trying to control the minds of gods. Tis not the same thing as mere mortals you know. And as for calling me stupid, I may not be the brightest of Zeus’s offspring, but I don’t need Athena’s wisdom to know I want thee right where I’ve got thee.”

I roll Crazy 9s.

Simple turn. Darkstar tks Huntress to P10.

Wasp makes her range 7. Huntress on Blastaar. Needs 9, rolls 6. Fate makes it 10. Wow, that's unexpected and only 1 damage to him but hey, I'll take it.

Before going to the duels I need to do the Crazy 9s. I suppose that would include the duel folks. My #5 for your #5 also. You get G'nort for GL; 1 GL for another, although hardly equal.

Darkstar freely smoke clouds.

Herc needs 4 to ko Mandarin. I'm really hoping the Iron Man set has a good Mandarin. Rolls 5. He's out. Herc returns in W11.

"Who are you, little girl?" Blastaar asks the Huntress.

"The little girl whose gonna kick your ###," the Huntress says using a poisoned-tipped arrow to connect with his knee.

I won't complain about the hit to Blastaar. Pits him on the click I wanted him to be on all along.

I roll a two for event. There goes the outer edge of the map. No one's gone, but you now have several figures at risk. Red dots indicate the new outer corners.

One thing I don't like about it - with this map, we've just lost all our avenues onto the overpass without flight or TK.

Degaton will move to D15

Blastaar has a go at Huntress, AV12 on DV15. Gets 9. No surprise there. 4 to her.

G'Nort to I6

Moonstone Perplexes her AV to 11, attacks GL, DV16. Gets 8. He's done. She's back.

"You hurt me?!" Blastaar said, half in anger, half in disbelief. "You hurt me!" All in anger now. "I'll destroy you for that! I'll scatter your atoms across the universe!" His blast hit Huntress like a bomb exploding right at her feet.

"And they say I have a temper," Huntress said weakly.

Hate to slow things down but I'm missing how Blastaar can see through Huntress' stealth.

He used his Negative Zone Vision Blastaa-Goggles...no. Okay missed that she's Stealthed. But I also missed taking a replacement for Mandarin, so I think I can still get it to work.

2099 Hulk, with Protected in. Polaris TKs him to I8.

He goes to M7, swinging by with his Leap/Climb to grab the object out from under Huntress, thus legalizing Blastaar's attack.

Ok, I don't think it 10 years I've seen us leap/climb and then yoink away an object and move away. But hey, Hulk has lc and ss so makes sense.

A couple other things: now that the Spider-Man set is out, feel free to draft your pick. Also, in terms of the shrinkage event, I think we should limit it (to maybe 3 squares)...once it hits that turn, it shrinks (koing anyone on that line) and then automatically expands back. That next turn the processes starts all over and although we don't move figures back, our starting area becomes what it was originally. What do you think?

I roll Crazy 9s again. Would kind of like to get something else. My #3 for your #3, odd that 2nd time in a row I'm getting this as I am rolling separately for your and my figures. Oh nice, a very weakened Huntress to you for Comedian. That does change my plans a bit, though.

I don't like Comedian's positioning but there's little I can do about it. Wasp makes his range 7. He attacks G'nort. Needs 7, rolls 10. 7 for G'nort and the pup takes 2.

Amazo will hss to P7 attacking Hulk. Needs 8, rolls 10. Good roll even if it only does 1 to Hulk. Amazo ends in Q8.

Fate carts Herc to T11, he's T10.

For no good reason, certainly not to add anything significant to my team, I'll draft Marc Spector. Marvel Knights on him.

Wasp to R6 carrying MK to R5.

"I see a puppy that needs to be hit with a newspaper," the Comedian says blasting G'nort, "Bad dog!".

"Comedian, you were on our side?" G'nort says.

"If you think that you don't know me very well, pup."

"Moon Knight, is that you?" the Wasp asks.

"Yes Wasp. Khonshu told me I was needed."

"Um....ok, well let me fill you in as we move closer then."

Probably this is the only turn I'll get tonight. How much I'll get to play tomorrow will depend on the weather and my boss.

I'm fine with that. You would give me Huntress.

Hope I get a good event, otherwise, I have very little to do this turn. I get a 6 for Redux again. Eh. The only characters on their top click that I have are Polaris and Degaton, and redoing them is pointless.

I got nothing. I clear.

You didn't select your Spider-Man draft, I see.

I think every so often we should mix up the event #s. I mean 7 is common, we'll see that a lot.

Also I think we should do object replacements twice, as we do in the big games. Just not sure when to do that---maybe when we're down to 30 figures? (I'm at 46 now). Play it by ear?

Speaking of 7....argh, not inspired to give up anyone for a duel at this point....

Might as well push Comedian and consider him a probable loss. He'll rs to O10 attacking Blas. Needs 9, rolls 9. 1 to Blast but it's an important 1. 1 to Comedian.

That's it except for the duel.
http://www.ianparmenter.com/hcutils2...6&y2=x178y-121


You do have a few concerning figures. None moreso than Doomsday, I'd say. I don't trust whatever you might have planned for him. I'll risk Dr. Fate and Hercules taking him on. Think we're at the temple not that it really matters. Distance is 3. That's a good-not good scenario. Herc grabs the lo and charges next to Doomsday. Needs 6, rolls 8. 2 to Doomsie after invulnerable. He has flurry: needs 6, rolls 8. Imperv is 4. 1 more to Doomsie.
