flyingicarus and I will be going an Avengers vs. X-Men theme game, typical replacements style, but with the Crazy 8s wrinkle.

On any attack roll where the final result is an 8, after the action resolves, the attacker will randomly switch positions with another figure on his team, determined randomly.

On any attack roll where the final result is a 5, after the action resolves, the attacker will randomly switch with a figure on the other team. Switched figures will take any action tokens, damage or other game effects when they switch sides

My starting X-Men

40 HGPC005V Polaris
70 XMXS019 Synch
100 HGPC001 Jean Grey
100 XMRF053 Emma Frost
37 FFHX002 Beast
37 FFXMRF004 Havok
17 WKM17-015 Lila Cheney
80 XMXS030 Bishop

Initiative is 8, with another 8 as a tie-breaker (how appropriate)

481

My team:

WOTR Wasp 45
MICN006 Iron Man 80
FFAI Hawkeye 40
MSDP050v Scarlet Witch 56
AI015 Moondragon 53
WOTR She-Hulk 75
AV060 Black Panther 60
WOV022 Ghost Rider 95

Snake eyes. You get the map.

Tamarata is a different map
http://rogueeffect.com/forum/map/map...s=abcfdbcaabde

It's pretty clear on this which spaces in the middle are blocking (brown) and which are hindering (green) right?

"Here we go again, Avengers, X-Men, at each others throats. Can't we all just get along?" the Beast asked.

"You know with us it's the interests of our kind that always come first," Bishop said.

"You're not having divided loyalty issues, are you, Henry?" Emma asked.

"No, no. Of course not. I was always first and foremost an X-Man."

"I'll vouch for Hank," Jean said.

"I'm not sure your recommendation's going to carry a lot of weight with the White Queen," Havok reminded her.

"Alex, hush," Polaris said. "We don't need to make trouble amongst ourselves. We have enough with the Avengers."

"That's right. We need to strive for a little...harmony," Lila struck a chord on her guitar.

"I still can't believe megastar Lila Cheney's really a mutant and an X-Man!" Synch fanboyed.

"The X-Man thing is more...honorary," Lila admitted. "I'm a musician at heart, not a superhero. Still, if you guys need me, I'm here when you call."

I think I get the map. Should we say 2k your this game? 3 turns until we begin swaps.

Shulky free tks GR to LM6.

Hawkeye sides to E4.

Wanda boosts GR's dv.

Panther to L4.

"Yeah, girls! Half the team is made of estrogen!" She-Hulk says.

"Sex is irrelevant in the mind of higher beings," Moondragon says.

"Queen Buzzkill is with us," Wasp says.

"Her telepathy could be useful," Scarlet Witch says, "If she can get over her arrogance, that is."

How weird that we have the exact same starting points.

Already Beast's got 3 Planning tokens.

Hm, I was intending to have Synch as a backup for Lorna for TK, but he only copies Standard powers. Oh well. I can roll with that.

Hawkeye on Havok via J6 w/rce. Gets 11. Kos him.

"All due respect, X-Men, here's why the Avengers are known as the premier team," Hawkeye says leading a charge on the grouping of X-Men.

Wasp moves in and stings Jean up close, "You tell 'em, Clint!".

"I'm not used to this Avengers comradie just yet," Ghost Rider says running down Havok.

Grr. Already Avengers are doing exactly what I expected from them and dominating. Couple things though.

Synch Should get a SS roll on Captain marvel's attack. He's copying that from Emma. Gets 2.

Also Jean should not take the initial 2 from Captain Marvel's attack. Marvel's attack is an 8 + her 11 for a 19. Jean's DV is 18 +2 with ESD so 20. Unless you have PC you can and want to use. But 8 is a pretty good roll - I don't know if you'd want to risk something worse and miss a couple other figures.

I won't pc. Jean still takes 4 from GR.

And I don't think this was more about Avengers being better but the risk you took there. Maybe it'll still pan out.

Who's in E4?

And unless I miss something, you're going to need to give your TKer a token to get Ghost Rider far enough to block Havok.

IM can tk.

Time for some payback. Only one more planning for Beast, I think, which he will use to de-token Polaris.

Synch copies PC, SS from Emma

Emma on Ghost Rider, AV12 on DV18. Gets 4. Wow. Her own PC to make that 10. 4 Penetrating to GR. 1 Mystics to Emma.

Synch Phases to P15

Bishop can heal 1 and use RCE this turn Outwits GR's Toughness, attacks him. AV11 +1 on DV17. Gets 12. Well, that'll do it for sure. He takes with Mystics the 1 that he healed.

XMRF Multiple Man is in. Just moves to J14 to block GR.

Lila, seeing the error of her ways Phases back to N18. Carries Jean to M17 and Bishop to M18

Ghost Rider KOd and blocked

"Since when is Ghost Rider an Avenger?" Synch pulled back from the fiery cyclist.

"Since when isn't everyone an Avenger?" Bishop asked, as he and Emma combined their powers to take out Ghost Rider.

"Fair point," Lila admitted, withdrawing the party from battle at little

"They haven't asked me to be an Avenger yet," Multiple Man noted.
