In the constant conflict that is the Marvel Universe, Captain America has been called to stop the threat of a Magneto capturing Alien weapon technology. Cap called on two allies to help him save the day. On the other side of the coin, Magneto gathers his forces to crush his enemies and capture the new weapons that he can use in his future plans to bring about the rule of the Mutants.
Captain America's team (Rick): Cap, Thor and Hulk.
The battlefield, with 6 victory point locations, 3 weapons that are sitting on 3 radiation shielded areas. Anyone not within two of a shelter at the end of a turn takes a hit.
Magneto's Team (Richard), Magneto, Red Witch and Sabretooth.
Lots of objects to toss at the opponents. With four strong throwers, soon things will be flying.
Get Ready to Rumble!
Richard lays his plans, this is going to be a bash them, smash them battle.
(Cap's team grabs 4 VP sites, Magneto grabs 2. VP's will have an important factor in this game.) Hulk throws a local business building at Magneto, drawing first blood.
Thor tosses a car again hurting Magneto. More cars and buildings fly hurting the Hulk but not enough to piss him off, yet.
Hulk must have soaked up too much Gamma Radiation as he barely hurts Sabretooth with his "mighty" smashing attacks. Sabretooth strikes back hurting Hulk who is starting to get angry. (With the Hulk, the more damage he takes the stronger he gets, Richard's plan is to pile on the Hulk to KO him before he gets another turn. Bad dice rolls means the hulk will have 1 hit left but adds 4 additional dice to his next attacks!)
Smash, throw, crush as everyone except Red Witch get into melee range. Then Red Witch casts Hex on all the Cap's team and hits Hulk with inferno, and bleeds Hulk. "Hulk Burn-Hulk MAD!" Cap hurts Sabretrooth but misses with his shield on Red Witch.
(With the Hulk, the more damage he takes the stronger he gets, Richard's plan is to pile on the Hulk to KO him before he gets another turn. Bad dice rolls means the hulk will have 1 hit left but adds 4 additional dice to his next attacks!)
Having survived the thrown trash container (Hulk blocked all the damage) the now super angry Hulk starts the next turn and destroys Magneto (9 hits on 11 dice) and finishes off Sabretooth with a massive throw of the poor beastman. Sabretooth's dying strike finishes off the Hulk.
Red Witch and Thor face off, and the "Mighty" Thor succeeds in scratching the powerful Witch. (He whiffed his attacks and put on only one damage point on her.) Red Witch focuses her main attack on Cap and secondary attack on Thor.
After the carnage, only Red Witch, a wounded Thor and stunned Captain America are left. Note the lack of game terrain left after all the tossing of every large object.
Thor is still hexed and down to 3 points before being stunned, while the Cap is down to his last 5 hits.
Cap is KO'd by Red Witch. It's now up to Thor to win by dropping Red Witch.
Thor rushes Red Witch, he must have had too much mead before the battle as he fails to take her out. (Thor was cursed with missing again and again in this battle)
As this is the last turn, and both Thor and Red Witch are seriously hurt, the game goes to the team with the most VP's. As the Cap's team have a substantial VP lead his team gets the win.
This was a quick, fun game that Richar and I played this Monday. Apart from the Hulk, I painted all the pieces that we played with in todays game.
