With the 10 Heroclix anniversary coming up in 2012, we're doing a set retrospective taking us from Infinity Challenge all the way to, well whatever set is out by the time we get to that.

The idea is simple. We each get a set, round 1 is in chronological order, I get the first set; Gargantua the second and they face off. Next game has Gargantua getting the next set in line vs. my getting the one after and so on. We each get 1000 points in characters. Each character can have one feat and that feat can only be used once per set.

Once all of the winning sets are determined we'll have a round two. Round two will likely involve some tweaking, and probably no longer go chronologically. Additionally older figures may get a cost modification if going up against a newer one. This will probably be something like a 25% cost reduction or something like that.

Game 1: Infinity Challenge soundly defeated Hypertime
Game 2: Clobberin' Time finally beat Xplosion
Game 3: Cosmic Justice edged out Critical Mass for the win.
Game 4: Ultimates leashed Unleashed with ease.
Game 5: Mutant Mayhem were finally toppled by Legacy
Game 6: Fantastic Forces cleaned up against Icons!
Game 7: Armor Wars beat Collateral Damage in a very close match!
Game 8: Supernova defeated Sinister in a surprisingly even fight
Game 9: Origins slaughtered the Avengers!
Game 10: Justice League vs Mutations & Monsters!

"Well, at least you have the Hulk. I suppose that's some solace," the Lord of Time states as he views the Grandmaster's newest team.

"His strength is daunting and he works well with Amadeus Cho's brilliance. And then there is Iron Man's armored skill," Grandmaster says.

Lord of Time sneers, "A weakened version of him to be sure."

"Very well. Mastermind's mental skills and Danger's computer adeptness....".

"Medium at best."

"What of my slew of mutants? Fabian Cortez' power enhancement? Cyclops' optic blasts? Marvel Girl's telekinesis? Shatterstar's agility? The Cuckoo's mind control? Storm's weather control?".

"Ah, and now Mastermind and Danger are looking better and better....".

"Maybe the Warskull with make you more respectful."

"Doubtful but anything's possible."

"Batman, Green Lantern, the Flash, and Amazo," Grandmaster drawled. "You're being redundant."

"Ah, but this Flash is from the future."

"A Flash is a Flash. There have been what, 15, 20 of them by now?"

"Ah,but what of the staggering intellect of Lex Luthor? The icy powers of Icicle? Dr. Polaris's magnetic control."

"Sorry, no."

"The assassins Merlyn and Bronze Tiger? The Legionnaire Dream Girl?"

"Not impressed."

"Hmph. We'll see who's impressed when this is over."

You and your crazy 10 range figures. I got lucky there, no question.

Two can play the 10 range game though. Merlyn on Iron Man. LOF was tricky, but I checked using the LOF tool, and Iron Man's the one good square he can hit from where hs is. AV10 on DV17. Gets the 7. Iron Man can take 1 thanks to his Invincible power, or he can use his Protected and push for 1. I'm guessing you'll save the feat.

Flash to safer ground in G10

Tiger Charges to H16 to attack Storm, AV11 on DV17. Rolls 4. Forced to use Dream Girl's PC already. Rerolls an 8. 2 to Storm.

Luthor to J9, Outwits Iron Man's Invulnerable.

Amazo HSS to F13, targets Iron Man and Amadeus. AV10 on DV17 and DV15. Gets 6. Well that's Amadeus KOd. Amazo ends in E14

GL RS to I10, double targets Iron Man and Esme. AV10 on DV17 and DV16. Gets 6. Well, 3 to Esme then.
