Went to a Fear Itself Tourney yesterday...

Got the email from the shop in Valdosta and so I contacted everyone local to see who wanted to go. Three others rode up with me so there were a total of 8 players in the tournament.

I was the first to open my boosters and I got some dupes but did manage to get a 020 Red She Hulk, Monkey King, Attuma and Greithoth. I had traded for a Greithoth last week so already had one. I had also completed a trade for my Kuurth on hcrealms.com but perked up when I noticed someone had a spare Kuurth. One of the few figures he didn't have was Greithoth so we made a trade.

The Mighty Red She Hulk has a cool Special Power:

MIGHTY BIG-@$$ SWORD: Red She-Hulk can use Blades/Claws/Fangs. Give Red She-Hulk a close combat action that does not generate knock back; when she does, on a result of 4-6 on the d6 roll, after actions resolve, deal the same amount of damage to an opposing character adjacent to the target but not adjacent to Red She-Hulk.

It sounds great but I know if I used her, I'd never see two opponents next to each other. Of course,that isn't going to stop me from trying it, at least once.

I knew from the last tournament and from studying the Fear Itself figures, that there isn't a lot of range in the set, and since we were using two boosters of FI, I imagined that most people would be using melee figures. Although that can be remedied by using the hammers, I still decided to use figures that had range.

I used 24 Greithoth, 16 Black Widow and 17 Ms. Marvel. I usually try to build a team that has as many figures as actions during a turn. I couldn't come up with a good five figure team with my boosters so decided to run this team.

How did I do? Well, I didn't win, but these two games were two of my most fun games I have ever played. Both of my opponents always win or come in second at the tournaments so I was up against some tough competition.

The first match was tough. The other player placed a Thule Priest and Iron Fist with in striking distance before I could drop a hammer. I decided to eliminate 20 percent of his team before he had his hammers. It worked but I was hammer down.

He then placed Valkyrie in range and again I decided to ko her. However, I was not able to knock her out and ended up getting wiped out by Tanarus. Tanarus is an amazing figure, he has always done extremely well in the games I have seen him used.

I was happy I did pretty well and took most of his team with me. If I had made an attack roll on Valkyrie, I may have won, but that extra round Valk had put a pissed off Asgardian with BCF and Flurry in my face...

In my next game, I was rocked pretty early and the game ended up with my Black Widow against Angrir and Iron Fist. She managed to take out Iron Fist and after Angrir took a swing at her and she hit her Super Senses roll, I thought I had made a decent showing. She started chipping away at Angrir. He hit, I made my Super Senses roll and hit him again. I started to think I might actually possibly win....

He rolled for regeneration. He rolled a #^%^^&&*$ 6!! He hit, I rolled Super Senses. I ended up rolling 4 SS's in a row before an attack finally went through. The next round he smacked Black Widow into oblivion but I thoroughly enjoyed the game. If only.....

That was a fun trip and some very fun games.
