For a long time now, Gargantua and I have come up with our own Top Ten lists for each set that comes out ranking the best (and 5 worst) figures. By no means intended to be definitive lists, it was just something we did for our amusement, based on our own personal preferences and observations.

One thing which we never did though, is play any games specifically highlighting those figures. Well, we're going to try that now, and we're going all the way back to the beginning. From the Top Ten Lists we made up we've each drafted 7 figures, plus one of the figures that we had ranked in the bottom. We have to pick one figure from each set and one bottom figure. If there's a point discrepancy larger than 10 points after 8 figures are chosen we adjust by adding, subtracting or swapping figures. As long as they are part of the top 10.

This game involves the sets Incredible Hulk, Infinity Gauntlet, Galactic Guardians, Avengers movie and War of Light; the latter and IG being optional.

You get the map.

"This is one misbegotten troop!" announces General Ross.

"Indeed," Sif says, "I know not a soul save you."

"You don't get out much, do you, Sif?" She-Hulk smiles.

"Dormammu...yeesh..." Amadeus Cho says, "Having him aboard is a mixed bag."

"It won't be dull," John Jameson says.

"Is this 'banter'? It is unnecessary and futile," Red Shift says.

Howard Stark beams. "Something to lighten the mood, pal."

"Enough of this," Dormammu says, "Let this begin....with destruction."

Didn't realize you started this. You probably sent me a link but I totally missed it.

"I like this not. Dormammu must have the Lady Sif enthralled," Thor said grimly.

"Yeah, and I can't see She-Hulk siding with Match-Head willingly either," Hawkeye said.

"Dormammu is cunning. He has many tricks up his sleeve," Dr. Strange said.

"A little magician joke, doctor?" Captain America asked.

"Anything to lighten the mood a little before a big fight. You know that, right, Cap?" Gabe Jones said.

"I'm honored that you've included me here," Xavin said. "But what about these two? I mean the guy's blind," he added in a whisper.

"That doesn't mean the guy can't hear you," Matt Murdock said. "Don't worry about me."

"And while I would just as soon be cleaving your heads from your shoulders with my axe, for the moment Morg considers you allies in this fight."

I guess I'm forced to address Gabe.

Shulky makes Red Shift av 11.

He'll hss to I11, attacking Gabe. Needs 5, rolls 5. 3 to him. Break is 5. He ends where he started. SP lets him plop Gabe in K9.

Sif charges to L9 trying to finish him off. Needs 5, rolls 7. He's done.

I was expecting to clear that turn, you gave me something to do.

Ross moves in place.

Certainly wasn't my intention to just throw away Gabe like that, but I had forgotten about Red Shift.

Red Shift should show P8, yes?

Morg HSS to M11 on Red Shift. AV10 on DV17. Gets 6. Ends L14

Thor RS to N17 on Sif, AV11 on DV17. Gets 8. She takes 4 after Toughness.

Xavin to click 4 for the TK, pulls Morg back to K21

I think I'm going to leave it at that.

I feel lucky to have gotten Gabe, this group really doesn't have a lot of movement going on.

Dormammu rs to OP6,7 attacking Thor. Needs 7, rolls 5. PCs it to 8. Thor takes 4.

Stark to M12, outwits Thor's invulnerable.

Shulky makes Sif's av 10.

Sif pushes to N16 attacking Thor. Needs 7, rolls 4. 1 to Sif.

Xavin goes to click 4 again, Perplexes Morg's AV to 11, TKs him to L15

Captain America RS to M17 on Howard, AV10 on DV16. Gets 5.

Morg HSS to O11 on Red SHift, AV11 on DV17. Gets 7. DOrmammu makes it 6. 3 to Red Shift after Toughness and that solves his HSS problem. Morg ends I17

That's a push for Xavin, isn't it? Sure you want to do that?

It doesn't matter. I turned him to click 4, he pushes to click 5, but then at the end of the turn he goes back to the click he started the turn on. He's totally pushable.
