We enjoyed our Av X games so much we've decided to play one more using the Justice League divided into Superman and Batman teams.

This will appear like a normal game, 8 figures on board each, 5K total, using our normal replacement rules. Where things differ is if an attack of 7 is rolled that attacking figure will automatically go into the Duel.

The Duel. If a figure rolls a 7 he may complete his turn or decide to pass on that attack and take the token from his duel attack (if he doesn't pass this figure will end this turn with two tokens, one for the initial attack in the main game, one for the duel. For this one turn alone the figure may have three tokens and is pushed accordingly). He then chooses a character within 25 points of his cost (or two within that cost) and that character and the opposing one(s) go to a separate map and complete the duel until a victor emerges. Once that occurs they return to the starting area of the original map on the same click with the same number of tokens.

Once a duel is initiated we place the aggressor on the middle rows of the map and roll a 6 sided die and subtract 2. That is the number of squares apart the figures must be.

We've added another twist called Traitor which will apply only to the remaining original JLA: Wonder Woman, Hal Jordan, Barry Allen, Martian Manhunter and Aquaman. They receive a Traitor token every turn. After three tokens they roll a 12 sided die. A roll of 1-4 nothing occurs, 5-8 free attack on their closest opponent, 9-12 free attack on the closest ally of their current team (moving to an adjacent square freely in both cases). The next turn they return to their respective allegiance.

Game 1 is flyingicarus taking Superman's team with Gargantua getting Batman's. Game 2 we reverse. Each game plays to 2500 points. Between the pair of games we each may only use a character once. I can use Booster Gold once, so can Gargantua etc. And on we go...

This game I'm running:

Supergirl (SM-Lazarus Pit) 200
Firestorm (JL09-Heightened Reflexes) 95
Firestorm (JL10-Force Field)105
Green Lantern (JL52-Stunning Blow) 72
Orion (Protected) 168
Hawkman (JL52-LMD) 95
Hawkgirl (BD-Blood Oath) 71
E Vixen (Pounce) 38

Figures Used - Firestorm (both), Hal Jordan, Hawkgirl, Hawkman, Orion, Supergirl, Vixen - 844

Feats Used - Blood Oath, Force Field, Heightened Reflexes, Lazarus Pit, LMD, Pounce, Protected, Stunning Blow


And as for map, it only seems fair that if we're doing Fortress of Solitude for one, we ought to do the Batcave for the other:

"What's this?" Lana Lang continued. "Are you still getting me back at the studio? There has just been an explosion behind me. It's unclear what is happening. I'm going to try to get closer and see if I can get a better idea. Oh my, it looks like this split has just turned violent. The two factions of the League seem to be fighting each other now. I see Green Lantern, and he seems to be shooting at someone. It's...hang on...it's actually another one of the Green Lanterns. It's turning to utter chaos over here. I don't know how long we're going to be able to continue to broadcast, but we will keep sending as logn as we can..."

"Where are we going?" Firestorm asked.

"We're taking it right to the source. The Batcave," Supergirl said.

"Cool!" the other FIrestorm said. "You know where the Batcave is?"

"Superman does."

"He told you?" Hawkgirl asked.

"Ummm, maybe," Supergirl said non-comittally.

"Doesn't matter. Supergirl's right. Best way to end this quick is a pre-emptive strike," Hawkman said.

"All right, anyone who can't fly through solid rock, you can ride in with me," Green Lantern said.

"I prefer to make my own entrance," Orion said.

"So much for the element of surprise," Vixen said.

"Oh look, a bunch of Superman's JLAers are coming to kick our butts," Plastic Man says, "Anyone want to play cards?".

"This is serious, Plastic Man," Mr. Miracle says.

"So are you. You don't see me huffing and puffing about it."

"You want a piece of us?" asks the Huntress, "Come and get us."

"Did you take in an extra cup of bravado this morning? This is Superman's team," Oracle notes.

"She got it for me," Guy Gardner boasts, "Last night."

"Pig."

"Oink."

"You really let this guy in?" Black Lightning asks.

"It was the only way to shut him up," Flash says.

"No matter," Red Tornado says, "We're all allies but if push must come to shove, we stick by Batman all the way."

I plotted my objects badly but Reddy tks the HO from one side to the other.

Plas moves to S14, T15.

I feel totally without a plan this game and that's not a good feeling...much less strategy. Hopefully I'll develop one.

No point in anything but clearing really.

I feel your pain about lacking a strategy. That's part of why I sent you the message last night about not overlapping teams. We've already used so many of the good characters up in the first game, I'm deliberately trying to avoid drafting too many more really good ones over there so that we're not just left with the dregs over here.

I haven't paid too much attention to your picks but I imagine you've quite a few good pieces left. The JLA has some pretty great stuff here.

I will give Oracle an action. If I read her sp and traits right she gets to use a power (in this case I'm choosing pc) via anyone with JLA, Birds of Prey, Batman keyword. So, Plastic Man will be her lof for pc.

Otherwise, I got nothin'.

"Come on out Batman!" Supergirl said, tipping over the giant penny.

"Where are you hiding, traitors?" Hawkgirl asked, smashing one of Batman's trophy cases with her mace.

Plastic Man let his jaw drop in the exaggerated manner of an old Tex Avery cartoon. "Ooooooh! Batman's gonna be p.o.'d!"

"Where is old Pointy Ears anyway?" Garnder asked.

"He'll be here," Oracle assured him.

Miracle to U4, outwits Firestorm's special pc sp.

Black Lightning rs to T12 trying to use stunning blow on the Firestorms. Rolls 10. A good start. Sadly, it's not good enough, not with esd and hindering.

Reddy tks Guy to P8.

Guy charges to N5 attacking Firestorm #10. Needs 6, rolls 4. Glad I saved Oracle's pc, via Plas, rerolls 5. Really thinking these JLA games have something against me.

Flash to O4, attacks Firestorm #9. Needs 7, rolls 10. 2 to Firestorm #9. He'll keep on going with hss. Needs 7 + 1, rolls 7.

"We need to come up with a plan," Mr. Miracle says.

"I have a plan," says Guy rushing out to his foes, "Get 'em!".

"Well, I suppose that's bottom lining it," Flash says to Miracle and Black Lightning as they follow Guy out.

Guy doesn't start with Charge. Sorry. I'd hoped to get at least one turn in for you this morning, and I got through much of this one before I noticed the flaw in your last turn.
