Medic or Taxi... Logan or U Wolverine...

[Logan Myrddin]

The heading pretty much says it all. I'm trying to decide whether a third taxi is going to be more or less helpful than A medic (Note, I have two other fliers and NO medics.) Also, I'm trying to decide whether Unique Wolverine would be better or worse than a Veteran Logan. HELP!!! Only two days till the tourney!

Let's break it down per figure on the Logan/Wolverine figs

Pts 60/64 Advantage Logan
Clicks 8/7 Advantage Logan
Average Att Value 8.25/9.43 Adv U Wolvie
Clicks of Regen 4/3 Advantage Logan
Clicks of B/C/F 6/7 Advantage U Wolvie
and if that weren't enough to qualify Logan as the better fig...
Clicks of Flurry 3/0
Clicks of Flurry with B/C/F 2/0

Unless you are really concerned with getting Charge or more Stealth, Logan is 4 pts cheaper and has the potential to do 12 clicks of damage without the help of doubles knockback on two places on his dial. Logan repays you for pushing. U Wolvie does not. So hands down, you have got to go with Logan. So what his att average is lower, with 2 swipes on 3 clicks, the odds are much more easy to beat with two chances. My vote is obvious at this point: Logan Veteran.

As for a medic or flyer... I have to say you should consider how many figs need taxis. Do you have three offensive figs that would necessitate another flyer? If so, take the medic and consider moving in waves. Taxi in two attackers, let Logan get battle fury and return for the fig that has been running to catch up. The other fig (if it is not a Battle Fury fig) can take some damage and be returned to your medic. Or leave somebody to guard the medic, taxi in the depleted and take off with the fresh and rested. Guerilla tactics work best in a game like clicks so keep moving and keep your opponent guessing and worried what you and your crazy self has planned next. Because I haven't straight out said it, take the medic, unless you have two figs that can regen and even then it's tough not to take one. You have to have mad game to play w/o the medic, but it can be done.

Good luck. And show us the team you are thinking of using.

Rookie Vulture (15)
Experienced Checkmate Medic (17)

Comments and Suggestions will be much appreciated. Thanks!

You sir, are brave. I might play a Fixit for fun if I had it, but for trying to win against serious competitors? Fixit is a point drain IMO and you could do much better putting your points someplace else. Think of an ability that Fixit has that you want. Now look at some figs with similar power and compare costs. There are cheaper outwitters, super-strength, L/C, tough/invulnerable, or whatever figs that just make more sense than the bruisin grey Pimp (you got to admit he sort of looks like a pimp).

What's Hulk cost, 104 I think I saw? Vet Magneto for 103 eats Fixit for breakfast. And that's just a fast example. If I gave it more thought, I'd give you a bunch of ways to spend those points that I would prefer if I were in your shoes.

Good luck!
