Post-WOL games, part three

It's an alpha strike team that's fairly certain of itself, one of my most aggro builds so far since I started playing two years ago. I'm still undecided if switching Faust for Mxyzptlk and the Atom was worth it as I fared better with Faust than Mxy - but that could've been just my rolls - and Mxy's Incappy Pulse Wave sure is a great way to assure locking down the force you're playing against far more reliably than Faust's D20. But I'm still undecided.

Less Sins in the Box, too, only three instead of four, so I'm stuck on dials with powers I don't care too much about as the Box excels on either two Sins or four Sins (both have Probs on the Sniper Dial and the Support Dial), and I really felt the constraints, and I kept making low rolls. I either need more Probbers or more Perplexers, and often Mxy's D6 switcheroo power wasn't enough.

Doc Ock remains to be the main attacker with his two Flurries in one turn, but this game had me rolling critmisses four times - you make enough rolls during the game and the math catches up with you - and having only one reliable Probber just wasn't enough (although that last attack I had to do with him, needing to hit 10 and rolling a crithit made up for everything), so I'm definitely thinking about replacing Mxy with another Klarion, maybe, unless I get another reliable attacker so the burden of attacking won't rest so much on just one fig. Maybe something like ...

Post-WOL games, part two

I won this game thanks to a very mobile and very efficient team. Everyone did their jobs well, and my rolls were good. I've been using Pandora's Box as a resource since it first came out so I'm pretty comfortable using it so that part was easy, but ultimately, placement and mobility saved the day - against a tentpole build like this, the strategy of choice is to out-maneuvre and out-action. Two major figs possessing Mystics TA will make the opponent wary about attacking so you can actually use them as shields for your attacker de jour. Two of the figs also have close-to-excessive high-risk-high-rewards attack powers, and a very mobile transporter, and all empowered by Sidestep and defense stackers like ESD and CR ... it's a pretty good build. I might run this for this year's Nats. We shall see! But with the KSI+Solaris build, this build makes it two potenetial builds for Nats. And I have two more potential Nats builds I plan to run!

Highlight of the game: Teekl killing Captain Sentinel with 6 BCF.

Clix Acquisitions this 01/16

Living in the armpit of Clix distro, some people with a lot of cash hoard OP kits for him and his buddies, so our access to these things are few and far between at best, so when they're here, me and my buddies go crazy. Here's one of the more recent ones, the Sinister Foes, with their token tactics. Lots of potential with these fellas, especially Doc Ock's two free action Giant Reach Flurries!

This guy was an advanced birthday gift from the aforementioned buddies. Funny how our Clix playing group kindasorta turned into an actual legit earnest friends-friends group who do chummy stuff like this. More power to friends! There should be more people like them.
