Great to see you back Mullet. Just curious, what you been busy with?

TURN 10

Dimitri picks up Jane Foster and moves to U14, dropping her in V14.

Mystique Perplexes her own Attack up to 9 and pushes to attack Nightcrawler. 9 vs 16(15 w/Hindering), need a 7 or better. Rolled 4 & 4 for an 8 on the attack, then a 5 on Nightcrawler's Super Senses. No damage on Nighty, Mystique takes one for pushing.

Psylocke takes a shot at Nightcrawler. 7 vs 16, need 9 or better. Rolled a Critical Hit! Nightcrawler gets a 4 on Super Senses, so he takes 3 clicks and is KOed.

Clear Jane and the Con Artist, done.

Oops, forgot to update Jane's position. She's in V14.

I have been busy with exams, revision and the like. Last one is on friday. I get a whole weekend off before I start my next year.

I am getting a good reeming from your fine squad, but I don't like the runaway tactic to stop you getting points so I'm gonna keep on fighting. I'll post my move later on this evening.

That's mighty admirable of you. I've always been all for the "charge in headlong with everything you've got" strategy, much as it's hurt me at times. One of my friends I play semi-regularly seems to make it a point to hide in the corner and make everyone come to him. Very annoying.

Looking forward to finishing our game. I forget, did we agree on 14 turns?

Happy birthday Mullet! Wow, only 16? You more mature than most college kids I know.

Thanks for the happy birthday message. Nice to hear somebody thinks you are mature and doesn't write you off for being young.

This weekend has been really good for me. I've finished all of my exams, my birthday has passed and I just found out that I have been accepted as an Arkright Scholar.

TURN 11

Dr Doom will perplex up Moondragon's damage to 3.

Moondragon will attempt to attack mystique. AV8 vs DV15, need a 7. Rolled 4+3=7. Mystique takes 3 clicks and is KO'd

Everyone else will pass.

1. Dr Doom - O15
2. Logan - KO
3. Moondragon - I14 (2!) @
4. Nightcrawler -
5. Doctor Octopus - KO
6. Vampire Lackey - N15
7. Scientist Supreme - KO

Your Vampire Lackey blocks Doom's line of sight to Moondragon, so Mystique would only take 2 clicks and is still alive. Do you want to redo that one?

Congrats, BTW.

Sorry I forgot about that.

I'll just let mystique take the two clicks then.

TURN 11

Jane attempts to heal Psylocke. 8 vs 12, looking for a 4 or better, got 1 & 5 = 6, then rolled a 2 for healing. Psy is healed 2 clicks.

Dimitri pushes to attack Doom. 9 vs 16, need 7 or better, rolled 3 & 6 = 9. Guessing you'll want to Mastermind that onto Vampire Lackey, so Vamp takes 4 clicks. Dimitri takes a click for pushing.

Psylocke pushes to attack Doom. 8 vs 16, need 8 or better, rolled 2 & 2 = 4 for a miss. Psy takes a clicks for pushing.

Con Artist moves to V15.

Clear Mystique, done.

With those bad rolls I think I have lost this one. I will continue tom play to confirm my thoughts.

TURN 12

Jane Foster pushes using Willpower to heal Dimitri. 8 vs 14, need a 6 or better, rolled 2 & 3 = 5 for a miss.

Mystique attacks Doom. 6 vs 17(16 w/ Hindering), looking for an 11 or better, rolled 5 & 3 = 8, another miss.

Con Artist pushes to move to R15 and takes a click.

Still a bit too close to call in my book. Guess it all comes down to the last turn.

LAST TURN!

The only way I can win this is by getting a critical hit on Dimitri with Dr Doom. Bit of tension.

Whether or not Dr Doom can see Dimitri is questionable. Likewise with Moondragon being able to see con artist. I will play assuming they are both visible.

Moondragon attacks CA. AV7 vs DV10, need 3. Rolled 1+2=3. Just! CA is knocked out.

Dr Doom perplexes up his own damage to 4.

He attacks Dimitri. AV 10 vs DV14, need 4 (preferably 12). Rolled 4+5=9. Dimitri takes 3 clicks and is still in there.

You've won no doubt about that.

Vampire Lackey will regenerate. Rolled 3, so the lackey is healed 1 click.

Use your last turn to wipe out the rest of my team.

p.s. that was a very good game!

I believe that Con Artist blocks line of sight to Dimitri, it's just hard to see on the Creation Matrix maps due to the size, but since it wouldn't make a difference point wise the whole thing is moot. Since I'm ahead on points, I'll pass my final turn. No need for overkill.

Another great game, great to play against you. So what's going on with the 2 on 2 game you mentioned earlier? I'm still up for it if it's still going to happen.
