Last night I sat down to play Asgardians vs. 1200 pts Foom. Does he really only get Multi-Attack when played as part of a Force?

Actually, I went and read the Galactus and Spectre rules too. The Multi-Attack is only under the Part of a Force rules for all of them.

Yup. It's just during the Force play.

They don't need multi-attack in scenario play, as they never actually get their own turns to be given the power action that is necessary to activate multi-attack.

Instead, those colossals immediately retaliate when attacked in the scenarios.

They retaliate when they take damage.

We've played, for years (but only about once every 6 months or so), that they could use Multi-Attack when retaliating.

We both could have been more explicit


And if you let them use Multi-Attack when retaliating, I am very curious if you had ever actually managed to pull off a win against Galactus. Foom is a push-over (over half of his dial has no damage reduction at all) and Spectre isn't too intimidating, but Big G is scary enough when played correctly... throw in multi-attack and you might as well call it a day early

We've never managed to beat Galactus. I beat Spectre, but only once. Also beat Anti-Monitor. I've never played Starro.

Last night I beat 1200pt Foom with a Modern Asgardian team. No Feats, no special Objects.

Thor
Balder
Heimdall
Valkyrie
Valkyrie Generic x2
Fandral
Volstagg
Hogun
Asgard Warriors x 2
Sif

Like you said, without Multi-Attack, Foom wasn't difficult. The annoying thing was Hogun and Volstagg ended up on top of elevated terrain and I had to have Sif and Valkyrie go get them down. And almost all of them have no range and Foom tail Sweeps adjacent figures, knocking them back. Luckily some of them have Charge and Volstagg can't be knocked back.

He doesn't even have a scenario.

But he has his own map. Can Spectre or Galactus say that?
He's got his own Event dial. Foom got one o' those?
AND...his freakin eyes light up! nuff said

Despite these seemingly insurmountable advantages, the JSA opened a can o' whoop-dass on his dead self.

Galactus has a map.

Which one? I suspect you are referring to the "Rooftops" map, which was the map used in the event that had Galactus as a prize, but no map I know of ever cam packaged with a Galactus.

Yeah, it didn't come packaged with him, but if you said to someone "Let's use the Galactus map, most people would know which one you meant.

Wait a sec - in this debate, did *I* just end up on the side of "but that's not what it says/happened" and *YOU* are taking the "everyone knows what it means" side?

At what point exactly did we cross into the bizarro-verse?

Me know that answer, Namron.

Rep to you, that's funny.

On a more somber note, the Asgardians laid waste to the 1200 point Galactus last night.
Valkyrie did make 2 Super Senses rolls and Heimdall hit one of his too. Galactus only managed to take out 2 Warriors, Balder, Hogun, and Volstagg.

Which Galactus? Old school or new one, since the scenarios have some different stuff.

Now Spectre is NASTY in scenario form, since the angry spirits can attack as well as Spectre. Those buggers sometimes really suck.

Foom was also really easy.

We tried all three scenarios one night, and we took all three down but Spectre almost pulled it out. We had ONE guy (Iron Fist of all guys) left.

Doing scenarios is fun, since if you use any of the pieces at a game you get called cheesy (of course it's ironic since the guy that first screams cheese usually has the cheesiest teams there in the first place. It's like he doesn't wanna have his cheese crown taken from him).
