It's rare...I think in all of HCFL and FLE history, I think less than maybe 5 have been benched, not totally sure about that, but I know it's not many.

Wally's a murderer! A murderer!!!!!! *sobs*

I lost my Ultra Boy in the playoffs several seasons ago (something like HCFL Season 4 or 5). I think the last one for FLE was Knockout from a Secret Six squad. Again, a long time ago.

Wasn't one of the very first (if not the first) benching cases Clayface for Arkham Asylum back in Season...2, I think?

Okay, so curious situation that I (since I'm one of the involved parties) can't resolve myself.

In my game (Arachnos vs. Inhumans) we're both using 400 point teams. Does this mean we're limited to 4 actions each (which is what I've been assuming so far in this game) or are we actually allowed *5* actions each because everyone else is playing with 500 point teams this round?

I would assume that per our rules, your both playing a hundred points underbuilt in a 500pt game.

Though I'd be curious as to if the rule book specifies if the 'build' takes precedent over the forces on the field.

rule book specifies this:

ACTION TOTAL
You begin each turn with a certain number of
available actions, called your action total. This
number remains the same for the entire game.
The number of actions you begin with depends
on the build total of the game: You get one action
for every 100 full points of the game’s build total.
For example, a game with a build total of 100
points gives you one action every turn; a build
total of 200 points gives you two actions every
turn; 300 points gives you three actions, and
so on. Your action total remains the same even
if one or more of your characters is defeated.

You are playing a 400 point team, in a 500 point game, therefore, you have 5 total actions. Because it's your build total.

They've got it right.

He pulled a gun! All Wally wanted to do was disarm him. The screams still keep him up at night.....

Geez! No wonder Wally got retconned out!

Next Season, he comes back as this guy:

Ha! Nice!

I really love that piece!

Watchlist has hit. Minor points for the leagues all around, prob can only reroll rolls that utilize d6s, felix faust has range on some of his powers now, you can't infinitely stack hex magic tokens every turn anymore.

And you can't counter or prevent the usage of map effects, which removes "most" of the idiocy caused by some of the newer maps.
