my venue had a two booster draft yesterday to help the store clean out old stock.
She had Icons and Collateral Damage out for sale, no Marvel.
I and the two other players decided to go with two boosters of Icons apiece. We opened all the boosters, tossed them ALL in the middle, and started drafting.
The youngest kid went first, and drafted the V Darkseid right off the bat. I was second and drafted the V Batman. No superman allies were in the boosters. After me, the other guy drafted the E Superman and something else (R blackfire, I think) And I snagged the U Ra's Al Guhl.
I ended up snagging two Rookie and an Experienced Robin, two V Cheetahs and a R starfire.
All but two of my figures could deal no more than two damage, but noone could crack stealth, and I had FOUR figures with willpower and Incap.
Infiltration got played, and Bats and Ra's started out in hindering (on the Danger room outdoor map) The kid moved out his V Wonderwoman and R bizarro.
Starfire slagged an object on top of the 4-square roof and batman hopped up onto the corner of the building,... now in hindering. He outwitted Wonder woman's charge and I moved a robin and a cheetah out.
we only had 4 actions so I was done,... and banking that the kid wouldn't push Bizarro to charge Ra's because he only had a 9 attack.
He did.
Carrying a light object.
And he rolled an 11.
Ra's was pretty much toast at that point. I went for breakaway and missed on my turn, bats missed, but outwitted wonderwoman's charge again, and robin pushed to miss bizarro.
next turn he cleared the Biz and i tried to outwit the defense and charge him with a cheetah. I rolled a 3.
biz offed ra's on his turn, and I pushed the cheetah to try again... missing.... again.
Batman also missed, and so did robin.
not going well.
Eventually wonderwoman moved up, and I charged her with the other cheetah, missing.
I cleared everyone.
The next round of attacks went like this. Cheetah missed. Batman CRIT MISSES and the other cheetah finally hits bizarro.
I roll a 1 on blades.
the kid misses me for a round, I clear, he nails a cheetah for 5 with WW knocking her out of action, and misses with bizarro.
Bats outwits Bizarro and Cheetah finally nails him with BCF for 5. Bats hits him for 3 after that and I incap him with robin. things are looking better.
Batman starts to come around at this point. He outwits wonderwoman pretty continuously, and double incaps two starfires in range for several turns. Bizarro runs away after i knock him past his second slate of charge.
eventually a Beast Boy gets up on the roof with me. Starfire slaps him for 3 (she had crit missed earlier, as had E Robin)
batman slaps him for 3, and he's now got a 6 attack. I figure I'm safe.
He pushes the Beast Boy to hit batman...
rolls an 11
hits batman for 1
and knocks him out of stealth.
greeeeeat.
I push to greast beast boy next turn and the other two opponents start a massive joker-superman- double darkseid -bizarro brawl in the far corner of the map, away from me. I pick off who I can with batman and move my guys closer to the center of the map.
a "shock the turtle" barrier goes up
everyone starts moving their wounded pieces into the middle. I eventually end up crit missing again with a R robin and see his second click.... 16 D with Combat Reflexes and perma-stealth. I look at the other rookie robin on his first click.
I turn off willpower, and push him to leap into the center of the map.
The other robin moves with him. The batman gets carried up there by starfire... who took a shot to the chops earlier from wonderwoman... she also belted bats in the mouth and he's back to his outwit, with toughness.
I still had a V Cheetah on her first click, and FINALLY the rolls start coming. Batman outwits defenses and she starts slashing for vitals.
She makes mincemeat of two aqamen, (with help from robins and batman) an E bixarro who hadn't been scratched, and someone else, I think.
The barrier ate a darkseid and his medic.
I ended up winning. my casualties were a Renee montoya I used to tie up wonderwoman for a turn, U Ra's who did jack all, the V cheetah who got clocked by wonderwoman early, and my R starfire who died fighting.
I didn't think I had a chance in this one, I just drafted guys I liked.
It was a lot of fun.
