This weeks booster pull.

Well, last week was a good pull, but this one was a bit of a let down. I already have 4 out of the five Clix, Cloak, Doctor Druid (got this one last week!!), Hannibal King and Electro. But I did get a new Clix, Jennifer Kale and she seems pretty cool.

I always buy a booster when I go to the local shop and play some games, so I was able to get in a couple of games yesterday. When I got there, two of the regulars were already there and they decided we were going to play an 800 point game.

Yay.

Out comes the team base and 400 point characters. I don't really mind the uber attacks, damages and defenses but when a team base is played, from what I can see, it really takes the characters out of the game. Our games go from 'Thor takes a swing at Batman with his mighty hammer... *dice roll* and knocks the living crap out of Bats for 5 damage' to 'I move the base and do 8 damage to you. Then I move the base over here and do another 7 damage and then let me check my resource dial' I guess it takes some of the character out of the game.

One of the newer players showed up and set up a team with Superboy Prme

I had decided the night before I wanted to try running a team of Sinister Six, because some of them have some really neat special attacks. Namely, Electro and Rhino. Check these out:

Rhino:

HEAD DOWN, HORN UP: Rhino can use Charge. When he does, he automatically breaks away and if he moves only in a straight horizontal, vertical, or diagonal path and hits a character along that path, roll a d6; increase Rhino's damage value by half the result.


Electro:

ARC LIGHTNING: Give Electro a power action and make a ranged combat attack against a single target using his printed damage value. Each time he hits, after actions resolve, he may then make a ranged combat attack as a free action against another single target as if he occupied the previously hit character's square, replacing his range value with his printed range value minus the number of hits he has made this turn with this power.


I also had ManThing, Carrion, Vulture and The Lizard. My plan was to use Carrion and Man Thing's poison and Electro's Arc Lightning while using Rhino and Lizard to beat down their teams.

We had barely begun the game when the two regulars had to go, so the other newer player and I decided to play a game or two and they were the best games I have played so far. I'll have a bit of a write up on those later today.
