400 Cap Abuse

[PsychoHippie]

Tried this out on a buddy of mine tonight:

HoT Captain America
Sharon Carter
Doombot 5953 x2
Guardsman x6=394

You get the general idea: Hide Cappy behind a wall of Guardsmen, have the bots copy SHIELD TA and use them all to give the Captain an 11 range and 6 damage with each shot.

I won against his Infinity Inc (with a lot of customs on his side) but my losses were frightful. End of the game, I got Cap, one Guardsman and one Doombot left.

Sharon was the weak link, honestly. I threw her on for purely thematic purposes but she didn't carry out her secondary attacker role all that well. Mind you, that might have been less her fault than my dice, which rolled threes with fearsome frequency (and ended up thrown out into the road halfway through the game).

Dropping Ms. Carter would leave me with 56 points left. I'm trying to make this a Modern Age team so I'm steering clear of feats and older figures (otherwise this team would have had a third Doombot and Contingency Plan on Cap).

The floor is open to suggestions.

If themeyness is no issue then you should throw in as many Gotham Detectives as humanly possible.

I considered that, especially since I had a hard time hitting 17s through hindering. And the GCDs do share Police keyword with the Guardsmen, so there is at least a hint of themeyness there.

Alas, I own but one GCD. Maybe time to go shopping.

I know your trying to keep it modern age but just for fun you can use your 56 points to put
x2 S.H.E.I.L.D snipers (experienced from sinister)
with the spotter feat on each a total of 54 points

you give cap a stealth wall to hide behind plus with spotter a +2 to his attack (under ideal conditions)
Also they can crack Impervius and the like or use them as effective clean up saving cap for bigger threats and theres more SHEILD TA for ya

Those snipers would have come in handy when I was trying to find someone besides Cap to whack a Mystic.
