I just wanted to post a note announcing a new venue in the city of Chicago.

Evil Squirrel Comics is now hosting Heroclix tournaments on Tuesday nights, at 6:30 PM.

The first few are venue-supported, but Wizkids supported events begin in December.

Next week:

Infininte Civil Crisis War! Bring a 500 point team based on characters from Civil War or Infinite Crisis. Play the Pro-Registration team, Luthor's Society, Cap's rebels, or any of the major teams from either Universe. At least half your team points must appear in one series or the other. Given the wide scope, that shouldn't be too hard to do!

Feel free to PM me with any questions about events or the venue itself.

There will be LE prizes for the event, for first place and fellowship.

Dude, I was so excited about this I jumped up and down with joy in front of my computer! That place is not even a block away from my house. (Un)fortunately, I looked at my calendar and I'm going to see Morrissey next Tuesday. I can't wait to attend future tournaments that don't conflict with concerts by gloomy vegetarian demi-gods! :knockedou

Wow, I didn't even know Moz was coming. Anyway, this'll be great as we can use regular new players. Do you play in tournies already, and if so, where?

I usually play at Graham Crackers on Clark St. and Brainstorm on North Ave. Brainstorm has my pull-list and they have treated me better than any other comic shop I've ever been to in my life, which is why I can't bring myself to move to the new comic shop half a block away, tempting though it might be.

But Brainstorm doesn't have to know if I play Heroclix there.

Hey,

Spiro here. I may stop by this place if I can figure out where it is. I know you Ignatz, but I don't know you darthnader. Who are you in real life? Do you know me?

Click the map link. It's way North right by the lake.

Brainstorm has one of the most friendly staffs in a comic shop ever.

Spiro-- please do!

I've never met you before in my life, Spiro, but you can return my Prisoner dvds when you check out the action at Evil Squirrel.

Next Tuesday (the 5th) at Evil Squirrel

Bring out the Little Guns!

200 pts, 4 actions, no figure over 20 points (including feats).

Yep, this was an interesting scenario. Too bad my opponent was playing a different one.

So sorry! A typo when I posted it here.

Tuesday the 12th is our first WizKids sponsored event-- Straight 300 point match. House rule-- retired figures may be played.

Tuesday the 19th-- a straight 300-point match (we had no one last week). Unfortunately, no official support, but U's form the last few sets will be available as prizes.

No more events until 2007 after that-- and then official events!

Sorry to be posting this late, but this Tuesday, the 2nd, marks Evil Squirrel's first officially-sanctioned event! Straight 300-pointer, no special scenario, for our first event.

It's that time once again, clix fans.

This year marks the 5th anniversary of Heroclix and we're geared up to start the year right with a great day of gaming planned for this years event. In the past, we've run your normal tournaments with a twist. This year, we're turning it up a notch.

One issue that we, as organizers, always had is that people love to make road trips. This allows you to meet and play against players that you may not normally get the chance to interact with. However, there is always a possibility that you may eventually get paired against someone you came with. We wracked our brains for a way to combat this and have come up with a fun event.

Announcing the first ever Clix For the Cure KO and Keep - Help Diamond Lil Fight Breast Cancer.


There was a story in Alpha Flight detailing Diamond Lil's battle with breast cancer. We've decided to use this story as the focus for our event this year. Heroes and villains from all over the universe are joining her in an outwardly battle symbolizing her internal struggle. A dastardly cabal (Myself, Groovyboy, and a few unnamed others) have assembled a group of super powered individuals and warped them to do their bidding. They must be stopped at all cost.

Every participant will receive a booster of Supernova. They will also receive an Exp Diamond Lil (if you have your own, bring her; if not, we've been amassing a gaggle of them). Each player will play these five figures AND two figures of their choice!!

Think Superman needs to join the battle? Bring him!

Want to see Captain Marvel win a battle against cancer? Bring him!!

Here's the catch - we're playing highlander rules with these two figures. We want to see as many different heroes joining this battle as possible. As such, players are going to be rolling off to see who gets first pick of their figures (and then do a reverse snake draft for the second pick). As such, players may want to bring quite a few of their favorites to ensure they have a large pool to select from. For the purposes of this event, we will allow characters that appear in different sets to play alongside one another: Silver Surfer from Critical Mass and Silver Surfer from Supernova are fine, but R Silver Surfer and E Silver Surfer from SN are not allowed to team up.

The only figures not legal for this event are: Galactus, Spectre, Dark Phoenix, Phoenix, Sentinel, Advanced Sentinel and Sinestro. The only Feats allowed will be the feats a player pulls from his Supernova booster. No BFC allowed.


But what about the prizes, right? Well, there will be tons of LEs and Mail ways out on the board for players to attempt to KO. If you are the player to KO the figure, you walk home with it. There will also be many great figures from Supernova - including all 12 Uniques, Vet Thor, Vet Vision, Vet Surfer... Let's put it this way - if you need a figure here or there to finish up your SN set, it will likely be out there to KO (and keep!).


"How's this possible?", you ask. Well, the owner of Gryfallia's Aerie has graciously donated TWO cases of Supernova for this event. One sealed case will be used for the participant's boosters, the other case has been opened and almost all of the contents will be used for the Forces of Evil (no, there was not a Zombie in that case...).

This promises to be a fantastic day of gaming. We'll also be having cash raffles for some special, mystery prizes that will be announced later. Remember - every single dollar you give goes straight to the charity. The $10 entry fees, $$ for the raffles, everything. Of course, you can always show your appreciation to the venue by deciding to purchase other merchandise (Ken has a large selection of games to choose from) as a way of thanking them.

If you can come, great!! If not, I'm still looking to amass more E Diamond Lil's. PM me if you want to help in this manner!![/
