For those of you just tuning in, this game started as a thread about Brazil's rules hang-ups. That thread blossomed into a discussion of Brazil's lack of tactical expertise which resulted in challenges for forum games being dispensed. After answering one such challenge, Brazil soundly demolished my Batman-ally team and the threads audience thought that it would be fun to have Brazil and I face off again, this time as leaders of two different teams of players.
We agreed.
I will be leading the Defenders of Justice, the Champions of Freedom, the Chivalrous Knights of Liberty ... the Good Guys. Brazil will be leading the Lovers of Darkness, the Enemies of all that's Fair and Just, the all-around Bad and Mean people ... the Evil Guys.
The rules are simple:
Each player has 300pts to spend on either a good team, or a bad team. While there may be both Marvel and DC teams on either the Good or Evil teams, each player may only play teams built of characters from one universe. We will take turns moving, as normal, with all of the Good teams moving on one day, and all of the Evil teams moving on the following day. And, there will be no duplicate figures allowed ... in other words, if you want to play a character, you'd better hope that you claim them first. :)
That being said: Let me introduce to you the team that will be leading the Good Guys ... the Gotham Knights!
Hailing from Gotham City, our fearless leader has taken a sacred oath to fight crime and general nastiness, to defeat evil wherever it resides, and is generally known for scaring the bejeezus out of evil doers (after all, criminals are a cowardly and superstitious lot): he ... is ... Batman!
Formerly from Gotham and now defending Bludhaven, our next champion of goodness was one of Batman's former proteges and once leader of the Teen Titans (or, just the Titans ... whatever they're calling themselves these days)! Having grown up and traded his green swimtrunks and yellow cape for the far more stylish black spandex with navy trim, we bring you: Nightwing!
Batman's current protege, a young man known not only for his detective skills but for leading the team known as Young Justice (well, at least until they actually took a vote and elected someone else): Robin!
And, joining them, we have the woman who once stole everything from cat-shaped diamonds to ... well, pretty much anything shiny. Currently Batman's love interest after a long-overdue rooftop kiss: Catwoman!
Next, we have Nightwing's former love interest and the one costumed vigilante in Gotham who is still allowed to fight crime in Gotham despite not actually working 'with' Batman: Huntress!
And finally, the man who will hopefully keep the team patched up and ready to fight should the battle get too rough: Checkmate Medic (whom, is actually just the butler, Alfred Pennyworth, in a clever disguise so as to not reveal the true identity of the Batman ... but, if you don't tell, we won't).
That's the team, folks ... let's hear it for the Gotham Knights!
My 300pt. team consists of:
E Batman - 92pts.
V Nightwing - 72pts.
E Robin - 20pts.
U Catwoman - 85pts.
R Huntress - 18pts.
R Checkmate Medic (Alfred) - 13pts.
