Hey,

So who will kick me around.

500 point constructed....I want to doa comic theme team.

I chose a standard 7 Avenger line-up with friends

E Captain America (IC) 47
V Hawkeye (FF) 84 +10
-FEAT Armor Piercing
E Wasp (Univ) 19
E Black Knight 64
E Tigra 46
E Quicksilver 52
V Scarlet Witch (IC) 40
plus
Monitor Duty
U Jocasta 78 + 10
-FEAT Nanobots
plus ann old friend
E Black Panther 36
and of course
POG Jarvis 4

500 even with 9 pieces and a pog

I had a bunch of protected and armor piercing cards in there, but they got cut.

I have no big guns and Hawkeye will be prime target.
I have only 1 high AV with no stat modifiers
Fortitude will hurt...and I should see at least 1 per game

so suggestions?

wes

Hawkeye will stay in the back carrying Cap....cap will try to act as blocking terrain for los to Hawkeye.

Black Knight will carry Tigra forward as bait and try to put a hurt with a double threat of BCF and Exploit Weakness

support from the Witch and the Panther will positition to keep PC and outwit in the mix

the Wasp will taxi up Jocast, keeping her next to objects.

Quicksilver will try to harras non- Imperviousl/Invulnable figs.

BFC will be
Armor Wars
and either
War Zone, Inertial Interference, or Isolation {maybe Disbanded}

Armor Wars is a must vs Icons supers
Isolation would be good vs LE sue Storm
War zone for Magneto and medic
II is good for most opponents...but hurts me too much

thoughts?

wes

If its just constructed, its not unrestricted, so you can't use Jarvis or Vet. Scarlet Witch. Here is what I would do for starters:

Drop Black Panter to the Rookie, he will be more effective and it will not cost anything to move him. Drop Jarvis, and Drop Scarlet Witch to the Rookie from (FF) (still Scarlet Witch, so still on the theme). This frees up 18 points.

That is worth putting an Armor Piercing on Quicksilver so he can harass anyone, and a protected on Tigra. Have Wasp carry Tigra to base someone, then if they try to hit you, use protected, and push the next turn to blades them.

Cap, Scarlet Witch, and Black Panther having stealth, can block for Jocosta and Hawkeye, so they can stay back and hit from a range while Tigra and Black Knight are mixing it up close combat and basing your opponets figures to keep them there so Hawkeye and Jocosta can shoot them. They can continously trade off places always blocking for the two.

Thats what I would do, I think the team can give you a strong showing if you play it right.

Oh yeah, War Zone and Armor Wars are your best options for feat cards.

duh,....not sure what I was thinking when I put in the witch and jarvis.

thanks

I like your ideas

will look them over
wes


you like War zone over Isolation?....Le Sue Storm can be lethal to my low av team.

???

wes

I would drop jocasta for a spiderman with pounce. 2 transporters should make your team very mobile but the low attacks could really hurt. alpha flight could help and it costs 0 points.

but it does give up the free move TA...which I like to utilize. That works great in my hand and action advantage and all...but I have so few pieces this time around..so it was thinking about it.

this venue has limited abuse factor...and I do not mind playing slightly weaker comic teams to make it fun. I was thinking about the Alpha flight Feat too..but seems out of character

what about this change up:

E Captain America (IC) 47
V Hawkeye (FF) 84 +10
-FEAT Armor Piercing
E Wasp (Univ) 19
E Black Knight 64
E Tigra 46
-FEAT Protected
E Quicksilver 52
r Scarlet Witch (FF) 35
plus
Monitor Duty
U Jocasta 78 + 10
-FEAT Nanobots
plus ann old friend
E Black Panther 36
and
POG Lian Harper {Being babysit by the Witch }

I do like Force Blast as an opportunity to nail LE sue Storm, KC Flash/GL with some easy damage...Jocasta is 9 clicks.

I very much wanted to put vision on the team with Nanobots, but had to drop someone else.

R Black Panther has 1 use, the E does not have the free move...but rarely a problem with Avengers Free move TA.... I like how he is a threat with BCF.

many times a grunt will rush R bp and make him run..now E bp can waste some of those pieces with a nice BCF roll.

My team is a bunch of 2nd tier attackers and I need to get as many as possible to swarm the opponent or if all falls flat.

I have to be relentless and I have to strike well {PC} and quickly after the opponents first strike. If I can dictate the tempo...keep em pushing.

That is why War Zone doesn't appeal to me much...if I cannot hit those 19+ DV's...I will take my lumps. I big gun that heals back up...well I have to start over again...but at least I can give it a try.

Isolation will be my other card.

wes

Yeah, only because if you do get to hit Sue, (and it is very possible close combat and with prob), they could just heal her up if you don't kill her.

Since you don't have a medic, that would make it really stink for them to try to do it. Hawkeye also has an excellent chance of hitting her, just not if she is in stealth.

This is of course dependent on whether you see her alot where you play, and if so, then Isolation is a better choice, but War Zone can be used against the other teams as well, so if you don't see her alot, War Zone would be a better choice.

This is something that alot of players do not realize that if you control, that you will almost always win.

If you can keep them on the defense, they have little chance to come back to beat you (save lots of luck on thier part).
