As always whenever a new set hits, flyingicarus and I play big format game where we try to play test as many of the new figures as we can to get a feel for them. We'll be playing our usual format, 8 figures at a time, replacing them as they're KOd with other figures from the set until we get to a certain point level. I'm not even sure what a reasonable point level is going to be for this set. Maybe 3000? Maybe up it from there if we feel we still need to. Anyway, the other small wrinkle to this game is, given the large number of 2x2 base figures in the set, we are obligating ourselves to have 2 of these larger base figures in play on each side at all points. At least until we manage to run through them all, which, who knows?

Anyway, we've done our initial draft and I'm starting with

AI039 Cosmo 70
AIG022 Infinity 300
AI043 Unseen 65
AI026 Jack of Hearts 75
AI01 Iron Man 60
AI29 Drax 100
AIG012 Tony Stark's Car 100
AI44 Wasp 70
840

Rolling for map choice. 4

"Does it creep anyone else out, the way she's just standing there?" the Wasp asked, looking up at Infinity

"These cosmic types, you get used to it," Cosmo said, or rather, thought telepathically.

There was a screeching of brakes and Iron Man pulled up to the others in a flying car. "Hey boys and girls, I'm not too late, am I?"

"Tony, you have a suit that flies. Why are you driving a flying car too?" Jack of Hearts asked.

"Style, my man. Style."

"I like it," Drax said, admiring the car.

"Right people," the Unseen said. "We have a major cosmic-level war brewing here. Let's stop flapping our gums and get serious."

I roll a 2, glad to get that out of the way!

I’m ok with not being able to tk 2x2. Maybe we should consider shorter maps or placement on the shorter sides of a regular map.

Mars is pretty Spacey for our purposes.

Of course with no ability to save maps for the weekend, I don't expect you to get any placement in until next week on this.

Before I go on a placement query.

Did we agree to play by the shortest sides? I'm cool either way.

You may have mentioned it in one of your earlier PMs. I don't know if I ever acknowledged it, but sure. Let's go for it.

Iron Man takes an action to become the Pilot of Tony Stark's Car - this gives the Car Shape Change. For whatever reason.

Drax hops in the passenger seat and the car goes to E/F15/16. Drax in D16

Unseen to F11 - he will free Smoke Cloud over the car and Drax

Wasp to E7

Thor generates 3 storm markers.

DD/MB to GH15,16. Suicidal, I know.

Moony tks Starshine to N13.

Can she attack the car? SC is 5. Unseen, who isn't that to her. RCE on him. Needs 7, rolls 8. He pcs it to 10. SS is 6.

Photon hss to I12 attacking the car. SC is 3. Needs 8, rolls 5. Gamora makes it 6. She ends in O17.

Eternity on the car. SC is 3. Needs 7, rolls 8. SS is 6.

OMG....I go out almost full force and have nothing to show for it.

Wow, that was really pretty bad.

Infinity Sidesteps to B/C9/10, shoots at Eternity. AV11 on DV17. Gets the 6. Eternity makes it 10. 2 to him after Invincible.

She will Outwit Invulnerable on DD/MB

Drax modifies his Damage +2. Charges to F14 on DD/MB, AV10 on DV17. Unless I'm mistaken Eternity was your only PC and he's off it now. So 5 to DD/MB, given that you're playing the Rookie, is a KO

Cosmo TKs Jack to D13

Jack of Hearts RS to H15 on Starshine, and blocking DD/MB. AV11 on DV18. Gets 5. Unseen makes it 8. 1 to her.

"So my brother," Infinty said. "It seems we are in opposition here."

"It seems," Eternity agreed. Cosmic energy flowed between them in a struggle for supremacy. For the moment, Infinity seemed to have the upper hand.

"Ever feel...inconsequential?" Jack of Hearts said.

"Drax doesn't know the meaning of the word insequential...incontinental...whatever you said." Drax said using his immense strength to pummel Devil Dinosaur.

"I wish I had your confidence," Jack of Hearts said, hitting Starshine with a blast that she seemed to barely feel.

If it's okay with you, I forgot Infinity's trait that gives Friendlies +1 Range. I'd rather have Jack in G15 instead.

Ego Prime I guess. I don't dare do anything with him yet.

Eternity on Jack. Needs 7, rolls 6. 9 for Eternity. 3 to him.

Thor moves a token to H25/

Poor Jack. he finally gets remade, and I fear it's going to be his lot in life to get one shot in and then get easily taken out.

My Infinity should have a token from last time. She will shoot at Eternity, AV11 on DV17. Hits with an 8. Impervious is 4. 2 more to him.

Stark's Car RS to J/K16/17, carries Drax to K18. Shoots at Warlock, I guess, AV11 on DV18, gets 5. Unseen PCs that to a 10. 3 to Warlock after Toughness.

Cosmo TKs Jack of Hearts back to A13

Unseen Outwits Starshine's RCE. Infinity Outwits her Psychic Blast.
