Good Luck.
I rolled a 7. I'll choose the warehouse map (Marvel Premier Map 4 on the resources site).
Here's my team:

Here's My Team:
V-Mandarin
V-Storm
U-Wasp
R-Vulture
R-Invisible Girl
E-Paramedic
299pts
Using the orientation on the resources web site, I choose the left side.
Here's my placement:
Paramedic: W18
Destiny: W17
Mystique: W13
Wasp: W12
Abomination: X12
Shadowcat: W11
Firelord: X11
Object 1: R12
Object 2: O12
Object 3: M15
Once you place your figures and objects, we'll determine whether they're light or heavy. The way I do that is roll a bunch of single dice. Odds are light, evens are heavy. Ignore repeated numbers on the rolls and assign the light/heavy in order of the dice rolled to the objects until you get all 6. If you don't understand it, don't worry. I'll roll the dice and assign the weights, and you should see how it works after I do that.

Are the trucks considered elevated or are the just hindering terain? (this will affect my placement).
This is an indoor map, so there's no elevated terrain. The trucks are all hindering. The crates inside the warehouse are blocking terrain, though.

If you hit a 17 defense with your EE that means that your own FireLord and my Mandarin also take 1 click. Abomination is saved by the Invulnerablity. So at the end of your turn Firelord should have 2 clicks.
No, Madarin and Firelord had the benefit of the hindering terrain between Shadowcat and the targets for 18 defenses each, so they were missed. Storm was missed, too. Mandarin doesn't have RCE for his attack vs Firelord, though the critical hit you got still does 3 clicks.

Correction to my previous post. Mandarin should actually have (3 clicks) not 4. I forgot to take out the 1 click I thought he got from your EE.
Just for the fun of it, I'm going to ask that Storm reroll her attack on Firelord. She's the only one I can see with Destiny on those attacks.

06/21/2003, 19:35
Storm rerolls attack on Firelord. Rolls 6,4 = 10. Firelord is still KOd.

As far as the no messing around coment earlier, I had no choice he came at me so hard and fast early it was either strike back hard right away, or the game was over for me. Now I still at least have a chance to pull it out.
I've never jumped in and attacked on the first turn like this, before. I figured I'd try it and see what happens.
I finished the Harry Potter book (another great book of the series). Now back to making a mess here.

That's the end of the game, since U-Wasp has no target and this is the last turn.
I am going on vacation starting Sat. (6/28) and will be returning on 7/6. It's unlikely we'll be able to finish game 2 by that time. I'd like to wait to start it until after I get back.

Destiny reroll 1,4 = 5 miss.
You only needed an 8 since the hindering terrain doesn't apply here. You can make a close combat attack and negate the hindering terrain.

You are correct. I have no moves left. I scored:
44 for wasp + 81 for Firelord KO = 125.
I have your score as:
300 - 81(Fire Lord) = 219 + 141(Mandarin) + 52(Storm) + 37(Invisible Girl) + 15(Vulture) + 10(Paramedic) = 474.
I always have to root against Firelord. Mainly because I want it to be proven that he’s not broken.
Of course this game had to ruin it. Clearly using Firelord as a taxi is BROKEN!

I must admit that your first turn strike caught me totally off guard. I was on the defensive pretty much the whole game. You also got some pretty freindly rolls when KOing my invisible Girl early. She was a big part of my strategy so that hurt me. I got some lucky rolls Also though when KOing Fire Lord. After the first game is complete, I am still not convinced that Fire Lord is broken, but Abomination might be:classic: . Can't wait for round 2. PM me when you are ready to begin. I will try to Bump the thread to keep it alive till you get back.
I'm actually hoping to prove he's not broken, too. This Firelord series is actually the first time I've ever played with Firelord. This game Firelord ended up being nothing more than a really fast taxi and a target. Really, I expected nothing out of Firelord this game (or any other), so I'm running my team as if any attack by Firelord is just a bonus.
I took a huge risk jumping onto your team like I did. If I had missed then you were set up to do a nice Mind Control of Abomination to hit Firelord. I saw him sitting outside of Invisible Girl's defend and decided to go for it, though. If I made it then I knew I'd create some momentum my way, and I wanted to act rather than react. I tend to play aggressive, though not usually this aggressive.
Getting Invisible Girl was indeed lucky, though I did get Destiny in close enough to help make sure I made it. I had to eliminate IG so I could have a chance of hitting the rest of your team later. It was also the first time I think I've ever used U-Shadowcat's energy explosion.
I expect I won't be able to get away with jumping onto your team that fast again, either. :)
Greetings,
I just had to say, that was pretty impressively brutal. Also, Keleko, very cool idea for a team. i tanked on my second round and just recycled the same ol' same ol', but it was very cool to see a rather different Firelord team (or is that Abomination team?) in action.
Regards,
Thor.
Given that Abomination is 5 points more than Firelord, it could be considered an Abomination team with the game's most dangerous taxi as backup. :)
I decided to include Abomination for two reasons. First, E-Abomination made mincemeat of my V-Mandarin in my first Xplosion booster draft game. I didn't know there'd be a V-Mandarin on this team when I included Abomination, though. Second, Firelord is good at range. I needed to balance that with a good close combat figure, and Abomination is a good beater.
