You've got a regular wall in B12/C12 and a Barrier square in C13. Either one counts as blocking. When two squares of blocking touch at a diagonal, they're considered one contiguous line of blocking. Herc's on one side of it and Wrecker's on the other. As such Herc can't get to B11, because he's got no way past Klaw's Barrier (and there is a wall between A12/13 even though the hindering squares make it a little hard to see, but they're prison cells.)

And then in the replacements game I'm going to back you up a sec as well.

When Algrim takes 3 from Cyborg's attack, I'm going to have him use his Battlefield Promotion to become Kurse. He's replaced by TDW Kurse on click #11, which is a countdown click. At the end of my turn, he'll click once until he gets to click 1 at which point, he comes into play and gets KOd when he crosses the red line. You can't target him when he's on a countdown click. That means you'll need to do something else with Ka-Zar and Samurai

I missed the wall in A12/13. Herc passes. Onto the other game.

To avoid Algrim's change I will pass on Cyborg's attack. Also on Ka-Zar's push.

Samurai charges to G18 attacking Algrim. The 9 still hits for 2 with his invulnerability outwitted.

New drone stays put.

Okay, but just bear in mind that even a regular KO still has a chance of triggering the change.

I have an opening here to get one of your really annoying figures.

Luthor backpedals to O14

Computo Perplexes Banshee's Damage to 4.

Banshee RS to J8, targets Cyborg, AV11 on DV17. Gets 4. Luthor makes it a 7 and Cyborg makes it an 8. That's 4 Penetrating to Cyborg.

Red Tornado TKs Blue Beetle to I9.

Blue Beetle PB on Cyborg, AV11 on DV16. Gets 9. 3 more and he's out.

What was at first a rout is actually becoming kind of close here.

First, ganging up on Hercules. With the Barrier gone, Wrecker can try to Wreck Herc, AV11 on DV18. With his EW and Enchanted Crowbar, that's 5 to Hercules.

Absorbing Man Charges to A14 to attack Hercules. AV9 +2 on DV16. He rolls a 2. Incredible. The world is topsy-turvy when Absorbing Man gets damage done to him and Wrecker actually does well.

Enchantress TKs Zemo to J21 and Perplexes his range to 7.

Zemo Outwits Iron Man's Imperv and takes a shot at him. AV10 on DV17 +1. Gets the 8. 3 to Iron Man.

"I have a plan to destroy their cyborg, but it will need both of you," Luthor told Blue Beetle and Banshee.

"Fine by me," Blue Beetle said, "Destroying cyborgs sounds like fun."

"Then here is what you need to do..." Luthor said. Moments later, Blue Beetle calibrated his armor to make a cryonic attack, the cold making Cyborg's armor extremely brittle, and Banshee followed it up with a sonic scream, leaving Cyborg a shattered, sparking mass on the ground.
-------------------------
"Up for some fun, Creel?" Wrecked asked as the two Wrecking Crew closed on Hercules.

"Always," Absorbing Man said.

"Come then! It will be glorious," Hercules said, landing a punch on the Absorbing Man before the Wrecker took him in the ribs with his wrecking bar.

Sigh, this is the JLA/JSA and X-titans all over again. I start out strong but then you clean my clock. Very disappointing. It's too early to whine but definitely getting a deja vu here.

Herc on Wrecker. Has flurry and needs 9, rolls 7 twice.

Movement is my issue here, I've lost tk and my guys just can't have the range to get to you.

Vision to C6.

Hawkeye to D6.

Cap on Ultron. Needs 7, rolls 6.

Ka-Zar on Algrim. Needs 7, rolls 7. 1 to him after toughness.

Nico tks Betsy to B14.

Betsy to incap Beetle. Needs 7, rolls 3. Oh man.....

Swordsman and Mantis were the next Avengers, favorites but I'm passing on them for Moondragon. Jean Grey is not an exact match but I need her.

Jean tks Vision of Love to E13.

VOL on Beetle. Needs 8, rolls 8. 1 to both, best I can do.

"Mind if I offer some help, Betsy?" Jean Grey asks as she stuns Blue Beetle.

"Always," Psylocke says plunging her knife deeply into Beetle.

Beetle can reroll the attack: 8 again.

Computo makes Ms. Marvel's Damage 4.

Ms. Marvel HSS to E16 to shoot at Ultron. AV10 on DV17, gets 3. Ends back where she started.

Enchantress to O15

Algrim on Silver Samurai, AV9 on DV17 +2, but he's got Flurry, so two chances at least. Gets 3 and 8. No go.

Klaw on Iron Man, Enchantress Perplexes his AV to 11 on DV16 +1. Gets 9. That's Iron Man done.

Shocker RS to D11, attacks Hercules. AV10 on DV16. Gets 6. 3 Penetrating, plus he also gets an Action Token.

Ms. Marvel flew past where Algrim was swordfighting with the Silver Samurai. The Dark Elf couldn't seem to get past the human's defenses.

"Need help?" she asked him.

"No," he lied proudly.

"Suit yourself," she said and instead went for Ultron, but the robot's armored shell held up under her attack.
---------------------------
"It gives me great pleasure to do this," Klaw said, using his sonics to blast Iron Man into unconsciousness.

"I know, right?" Shocker said as he hit Hercules with his vibro-shock gauntlets. "Beating up on the Avengers at last. And it feels so good."

As with the Replacements game I'll pass on old favorites Swordsman and Mantis and take Moondragon whom I need. CT version, of course.

Vision on Wrecker, outwits his invulnerable. Needs 7, rolls 8. Awesome, 4 to him.

Moony tks Hawkeye to D10.

Hawkeye on Wrecker. Needs 7, rolls 9. 2 to him after toughness.

Widow to D4.

Nico takes on pc.

No reason not to push Vision of Love on Blue Beetle. Needs 9, rolls 11. Beetle makes it 3. Nico makes it 9. 1 to both.

Samurai on Al. Needs 7, rolls 12. Ouch. Ouch for me that is, as it increases the damage allowing his conversion. Have to try for bcf and hope for a 2. 6 again. Hardly seems fair, he is koed and gets to come back as a better figure. No matter, you got your wish after all. I plopped him back in your starting area.

Iron drone carts Vision of Wonder to D12, he's D13.

Ultron unleashes another Iron Man drone.

Vi outwits Ms. M's indom.
