Ok fellas. I want to tell you I played 2 games today I won one and lost one . Again I played tournament level competition, I have witnesses who visit this forum.

Here is my team for the first game which was a victory and was basically a one on one game:

Iron Man V
Mandroid R
Hawkeye V
Wasp U
Captain America U
Scarlet Witch V

Before anyone starts whining on how I have no idea how to make a team.....I do and I did and I won and I loss. The Wasp U and the Hawkeye V are treated as one figure in my battle plans. Together they are basically a running shot that that can move 8 and deal out 3. It also has the tactical felxibility of breaking them up. Iron Man and Mandroid give me 6 clixs standing still or 4 on the move .
These 2 groups form a formidable pair of attack units that can dish out 7 clixs on the move ( 6 or 8 move)from 10 hexes away or 9 clixs standing still (with re rolls from scarlet Witch). This is a range attack team that most players are not use to. I have the Scarlet Witch for annoying re rolls and Captain America to get in the way, annoy , ultimately heal and maybe use Outwit.

I Faced a mostly 400 point X-men related team.The sceanrio was contest of champions.
The hardest defense that Iron Man went up against the entire game was a 18 at the very start . meaning that he needed an average roll of 8 to hit at the worst of times in this game and it happen right away.

Cyclops
Rogue
Logan
Nightcrawler
Jean Grey
Booster Gold

Again the focus is Iron man and I will only speak about him :

Turn 1 :
Flew on top of a building with the Mandroid unit. Shot at Cyclops who was in hindering terrain. needed a 18 got a 19 (rolled a 9 but if I would of missed I had scarlet witch right there for a re roll if needed) . Cyclops took 4 clixs. Wasp flew to the same bulding and hawkeye finished him off.

Turn 2:
rested

Turn 3:
Attacked Rogue dropped 4 clixs, Hawkeye dropped 3, she had taken a critical miss previously she was out.

But Iron man was attacked by logan causing 4 clixs of damage that turned into 2 because of INV. he also suffered a knock back and was no longer ever again able to be next to the mandroid unit.

Turn 4
Rested

Turn 5
Logan attacked and missed. Iron Man broke away to do a runing shot and connected for 2 clixs of damage, needed Scarlet witch to make a re roll on the attack (Iron Man missed by rolling a 3 the first time).

Turn 6 rested
Logan flew in with a taxi and was pushed struck again and did 2 clixs of damage.
Logan finshed off by other figs

Turn 7
Moved

Turn 8 rested

turn 9
Attacked booster gold (booster was down to a very nominal defense. Hit for 2 clixs of damage booster was finished off.

Turn 10 rested

game over

Iron man did very, very good in this game. and dropped a total of 12 clixs of damage and got credit for finshing off 2 figures. He took 4 damage in return.

Game 2 was not so good.

My team was the same. The sceanrio was scientist. The FF team below had the scientist.

I faced a Thor led team(which won the game) and a mostly Fantastic Four team both 400 points each.


Turn1:

I aggressively taxied Iron Man with Wasp to try and hit the Torch and possibly drop 5 clixs on him. I ended up out of position and needed a 10 to hit. I had the scarlet witch in site and gave it a go. I missed the first roll as well as the re roll.

Turn 2
While resting
Iron man got his INV outwitted by a Black Panther E.
Mjolnir (Thor)connected for 5 clixs of damage(shield team ability aided). Next Iron Man had the Thing show up with a coke machine and drop 6 clixs of damage. Game over for Iron Man. My team hung in there and ultimately scored points for a veteran She Hulk (120)and an expereinced Black Panther (36) without Iron Man the chances of winning were very slim. Iron Man was out of position and was annihilated in 2 turns and because I had spent so much on the fig the game was over.

All in all , if you can keep him alive, he is a monster damage maker. If he drops your chances of winning drop accordingly.
The low attack value is greatly exaggerated.

I had a blast playing him .

I gather "U Scarlet Witch" on the first team should be U Wasp?

I agree with the statement that if Shellhead is protected he is a massive damage dealer for your team.

It just looks like in the second game, he overextended himself in an attempt to cripple torch, and really got hung out to dry.

The AV issue IS highly overexaggerated. That first game was pretty solid it sounds like. Well Played IM44.

Second one, not so good, but hey, you cant win em all. If you did, what would be the challenge?

Hey Ironman. I appreciate the IM updates, they've been good. I'm definitely looking forward to pulling him! Can't wait til the first time he squares off against the Mandarin.

Have to admit I'm a bit jealous if you, since you already have one, and have obvioulsy already been playing him quite a bit...
