flyingicarus and I just did a set of games. JLA vs Avengers. What's that you say? Ho hum? Been there, done that? Well maybe, but what if in each of the games, one team is pretty much straightforward as you'd expect, but the other is sort of a What If...? version of the team. Alternate versions of the characters (Venom Captain Marvel? Green Lantern Harley Quinn?) Maybe a reformed villain or two? Obscure heroes who were never a member of the team we knew? Any and all of it is possible.

This time around, we're switching teams. I'm playing the Avengers and flyingicarus the JLA.

my Alternate Avengers starting lineup

75 F4051 Silk

The non-alternate teams have been getting map choice, so I leave that to flyingicarus.

"They call themselves the Justice League of America. We'll see about that," Captain Ironmerica said. "They've got no exclusive claim to either Justice or America."

"He's impressive," Synapse said.

"Seriously," Silk agreed.

"Always," Peace Machine told them. "He's a natural leader. I'd fight for him any time, even though I hate fighting."

"The man in armor shying away from a fight? That's mighty strange," Natasha said, spitting a wad of tobacco juice.

"Filthy habit," the White Tiger said.

"Pretty lady like her, can do whatever she wants in my book," Erik Josten said.

"Ugh. It's all about how a woman looks to you, is it?" Jennifer Kale asked.

"Asks the lady in the chain mail bikini," Josten retorted.

"You know what they're gonna say, right?" Booster Gold asks.

"You mean where's the real Justice League?" Atom responds.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Aquaman asks, "I'm Aquaman...".

"Case in point," Oracle adds.

Jennifer's Nexus will be in I18

"We were ready," Dr. Fate says splitting into three illusions.

"Move forward, Justice League," Zatanna says calling upon a swirl of bats as she appears.

"How do we follow up that?" Booster Gold asks.

"Speak for yourself," Red Tornado asks as a whirlwind takes him away.

Silk to I18

Peace Machine carries White Tiger. G19, F18. Then PM Sidesteps back to H21

Captain Ironmerica carries Power Man. K18 for him, J17 for Power Man.

"They're moving out," Peace Machine said.

"Then let's go meet them," Captain Ironmerica said. "I wouldn't want to keep them waiting."

John, Reddy, Aquaman, GL, Fate. JLU. 1. 2.5.3.4.

Reddy tks Fate to H6.

Fate pushes to use the object under Widow to hit her. SC is 6. Man! What's she doing with sc, anyway?

Reddy then tks John to H8.

John on widow. SC is 5. Fine, he barriers, I think he can do this still but maybe not. He then sides to H6.

Atom boosts his dv.

Zee boosts John's.

"Hiding, that will not do," Dr. Fate says moving his hand and Black Widow is in open space.

"You're out of luck, lady," Green Lantern says attacking. She easily dodges him.

"Then again, maybe not just yet," John adds.

He can't actually. You've declared that you're making an attack. You're allowed to change the target of the attack, if there is another valid target, but you can't totally back up and choose a different kind of action. You're committed at that point to the attack action and if you don't have any other targets, the action is taken but wasted.

Other than the obvious removal of the Barrier, does that change anything else about the rest of your turn?

Nope, no change.

Captain Ironmerica to Lead. Gets 1

Okay, so I'm probably only going to get one shot with her, better hope I can make it count.

Black Widow to E15

Peace Machine TKs Synapse to G14

Synapse to MC Green Lantern. AV9 +2 on DV18. Gets 6. Silk, one the Nexus makes it 8. He just moves to H16

Power Man Charges to I16, grabbing the LO in K15, hits GL with it. AV11 on DV18. 4 +1 for the LO -1 for Toughness is 4 to GL

Peace Machines Outwits GL's ESD

White Tiger on GL, AV10 on DV16. Gets 10 and that will KO him.

Captain Ironmerica to H16 to block

So GL Is KOd and blocked. But if it's any consolation, I probably won't have too much I can do next turn with tokens on so many figures.

"Can you make him come to us?" Peace Machine asked Synapse.

"I don't know. I can control animals all right, but people are tougher," she admitted.

"You can do it, Synapse. I have faith in you," Captain Ironmerica said.

"Like that's not all the pressure," Synapse sighed, but she reached out to Green Lantern and made him come to her.

"Sweet!" Power Man said, slamming him with a truck tire while he was still groggy.

"Oh you are so going to get it for that," Green Lantern said, not totally snapped out of it.

"In case you hadn't noticed," White Tiger said. "You're surrounded."
