Unfortunately, Fire and Ice can't completely get to that position because they only have 7 speed and must have their second base in the position the first base passed through since they are a peanut base. Since they use all 7 squares of movement to get there, and they can't stop on two different elevations, the only way they can get to K-6 is if they stop in L-5/K-6 and the only way they can get to K-7 is if they stop in L-8/K-7, I believe.

Well, shoot. I think you're right - based on the exact wording in the rules, you're spot on. Alright, lemme get it edited.

Okay, Madame H - take yer best shot!

Oh boy... This is a tense move coming up... The odds of making a 6 twice is 52.2%... Pretty much a coin flip!

HYDRA! Turn 15A

1) Madame Hydra uses 2 CP tokens to modify her attack value by +2, using Ranged-Combat Expert against Fire and Ice. It's a 9+2(2 CP tokens) against a 16+1(hindering terrain bonus), requiring a roll of a 6. And the roll is... 4,5=9, which is a hit. Mister Miracle will PC that. And the reroll is... 5,1=6! Which is just enough for the hit. Madame Hydra deals 2+2=4 clicks of damage to Fire and Ice, which is good enough for the KO. Madame Hydra gains 1 SA pt. Madame Hydra gains 1 KO pt. Red Skull gains 1 AST pt.

Everyone else clears.

And I have to clear! Good game, sir - should have reviewed those duo movement rules a little more carefully before bringing them out. Congrats on the win, sir.

Yeah, I think the rules have changed a couple times. I always get confused with them, myself. I spent a lot of time mapping out exactly where I would have to move to have a shot at either Fire and Ice or Mister Miracle. After looking at it for what seemed like an hour or so, with that specific area being a blindspot, I realized that due to peanut base rules I would have a shot. Very lucky on my part.

It really could have gone either way there; I had to get lucky in a few spots just to have it end on a coin flip like that. You are obviously an excellent player as your past several seasons have shown, and I really enjoyed playing against you. I really appreciate your act of sportsmanship in completing the game today when you could have just let the clock run out with it being Easter and all.

I can't say enough how exciting and fun our game was; I now consider it to be one of my all-time great games in online or real-life, and I would have felt that way regardless of the outcome. It was truly a treat, and hopefully, we will meet again in the playoffs!

Thank you again for the great gaming experience!
