I just tried a telekenesis slash taxing with V boomerang on September the eight and I do the target three energy explosion thing because I rolled first. Well I hit a hard ten so I expected knock back for all his pieces especially rookie firelord and a shield medic for a total damage of nine clicks to five figures.

Now if someone blitzkriegs a starting force they do have a chance to miss, Spend the points and turns to taxi and leave pieces scattered into enemy territory. It takes courage to do that.

I am sick of turtles with defender strange and experience ultron shooting people on the ground and passing when they have no targets.

First strike rule does NOT encourage turtling, it simply there so someone doesn't end up with a half dead force before they even have a first turn
