When Captain America throws his mighty shield,
All those who chose to oppose must yield.
If he's led to fight and a duel is due,
Then the Red and White and the Blue'll come through
When Captain America throws his mighty shield.

Captain America is my favorite superhero! Bucky is not quite Cap, but if anyone else deserves to weild the shield, it would be him. So without further ado, I present the newest installment of Thugit, Inc. A thread dedicated to the many adventures of the new Captain America!

Captain America Sealed Tournament.
Only two of us were there (myself and my brother), so we just bought two boosters and took them home to play there.

First Booster:
Bucky/Cap!! (His sculpt looks great)
Black Widow
Yelena Belova
Falcon
Armadillo

Second Booster:
Kitty Pryde
Mr. Immortal
Scorpion
Howling Commando
Red Guardian


I played:
Bucky/Cap
Black Widow
Falcon
Red Guardian

He played:
Steve Rogers
Viper
Jack Flag
Hydra Soldier


My first move was to have Falcon carry Bucky, park in hindering with Bucky standing behind him. Widow ran into hindering and Guardian Stood behind Bucky. He moved Viper and the Hydra generic adjacent in hindering. Jack Flag grabbed a heavy object and moved into charging range of Widow, and Steve moved up behind Viper. I took a shot at Jack Flag, with Bucky, and missed. Passed with the others.

Jack chared Black Widow, critical hit, she takes 5. She outwits Jack's toughness, allowing Guardian and Falcon to take him out.

Viper and Steve took a few shots hitting Bucky down 1 and knocking down Red Guardian a few, after he KO'd Hydra Soldier. Falcon and Bucky had hit Steve down to his last click.

Bucky KOs Steve (didn't quite feel right), while Falcon and Guardian charge Viper, knocking her out of hindering. Next turn, Bucky pushes to KO Viper, winning the game.

No figures lost.

I am going to be out of town next week, so my brother and I just played a couple of games to get me through the week
First game: 500 points

I played a SHIELD team:
Bucky/Cap
SI Iron Man
CA Kitty Pryde
CA Black Widow (w/T-Bolts)
Nurse
Crimson Gem

He played a Gotham City team:
AN Bane
AN Green Lantern
AN Deadshot
BB Batman
AA Batgirl


I won map roll, to limit his stealth options. He made the mistake of moving Bane into Iron Man's range. Iron Man Running shot for 4, outwit his invulnerability. Bucky then perplexed his damage to 4, Running Shot onto his last click, rolled doubles, causing Bane to be knocked back into the Low gravity field. Kitty then carried Black Widow (now using Ultimates) into hindering, while sitting on the Gem.
Next turn, he TK'd Deadshot into hindering, who then hit Iron Man for 4. Batman then charged Black Widow, missing, with Batgirl in tow as Mastermind fodder.
A couple turns later, after Kitty had missed the Gem and Widow and Iron Man had hit Batman a bit, after Batgirl couldn't take any more. Bucky pushed to run in for the kill. Before being blasted by Deadshot.
After that Iron Man and Kitty based Green Lantern. Widow finally hit Deadshot, just in time for Bucky to charge in with a critical hit; KO.
Green Lantern Pulsewaved a couple of times, KOing Bucky, before Kitty taught him a lesson.
Second win.


Next game, 500 points as well,
I played a New Avengers team:
Bucky/Cap
SI Ms. Marvel
GSX Wolverine
SI Spider-Man
SI Iron Fist
Nurse
Crimson Gem

He played:
WoS Spider-Man (Red and Blue)
WoS Venom
WoS Anti-Venom
WoS Scarlet Spider
WoS Carnage
Nurse

He won map this time and chose the Graveyard.

This was my first time using Ms. Marvel and she didn't do much; Spider-Man, Iron Fist, and Wolverine did most of the work.
Iron Fist failed on the Gem while Bucky and Ms. Marvel took on Carnage. Both hit, but he ran back to Nurse and healed for 4. Bucky didn't do much for a while, his only contribution was perplex, until Anti-Venom made the mistake of basing him. Bucky was able to take him out a few turns later, knocking him into a wall. Scarlet Spider had pushed a couple of times to try to hit Ms. Marvel and Iron Fist, mostly failed, but he did manage to get Iron Fist onto his last click. Bucky pushed with a Running Shot to hit Scarlet Spider, critical hit; KOing him, right before Iron Fist defeated Nurse to win the game.

658 points in 3 games is incredible. In a couple of weeks, I will be able to play in a regular tournament and I looking forward to see how Bucky does.

500 points this week, Universe Specific, Modern Age. I will be using my New Avengers team: Bucky/Cap, Ms. Marvel, Wolverine, Spider-Man, Iron Fist, Nurse, and Gem.

First tournament and I cleaned house. Went 3-0! We played 2 regular games then had a big team battle, 2 on 2.

First game I played against:
AN Kyle Rayner
AA Joker
AN Deadshot
AN Animal Man
AN Beast Boy
BatB Cave Carson

Wait a minute... (checks calculator)... that is 518 points... That's okay, he didn't win any of his games.

I believe that I lost Nurse and Spidey, while the rest of my team took out his team. Bucky KO'd Deadshot and Joker after some one knocked them off of stealth.

Second game I played a veteran player, and a good friend of mine (he got me into the game), that I typically lose to, so this was a good day.

He played the "Bad Asgardians" (think about it and you will notice a clever, alternate spelling):
HoT Loki SR
HoT Ulik
GSX Frost Giant (at 100 points)
HoT Valkyrie (common)
HoT Fire Demon

This one was pretty tough, Started off strong as Ms. Marvel outwit Frost Giant's toughness, letting Wolverine hit him for 4 with Blades, before Bucky perplexed his damage to 4 to finish him off with a running shot. Unfortunately that was all Bucky did that game, other that hit Ulik a few times, because Loki hit him hard enough for him to keep his distance the rest of the game. I lost Iron Fist, Spidey, and Nurse; but I defeated Loki's mastermind fodder, Fire Demon and Valkyrie. I never attacked Loki, I prefer to leave Mystics alone when I can.

Last game was the team up game. I teamed up with the "Bad Asgardians", and we played against the first guy that I played and some one playing:
CA Black Panther
CA Human Torch
GSX Storm
WoS Bombastic Bagman
HoT Cap

I took on the DC team while my teammate took on the other, helping each other out along the way. After I finished off all of the DC characters (woo! Marvel) I went in and assisted by defeating Cap, it just didn't seem right having Bucky KO him, I will say that it is him under the Red Skull's control.

Overall it was a good night, we all had fun and made a few trades; this was the first time we had all been together since Cap came out. I ended up trading my Kitty Pryde for the new Baron Zemo, hopefully I will get another Kitty at some point, but I would much rather have Zemo.

Captain America will be making his debut at Gencon, this weekend.

Good to see Cap making it to GenCon. Wish Pool and I could make it....

Unfortunately, I was unable to get to Gencon until saturday, so no Grinders or Worlds for me. I was rather fond of my team: Bullseye (w/T-Bolts), Captain America, Batroc, and the Question.

Cap didn't get a chance to be played, but I did get to play in a few King of the Hill games. I went 3-1; a whole afternoon of entertainment for $24 is pretty good in my opinion. I also pulled, the Chase Ice Cap and Maelstrom. I used Bucky in two of my games, he didn't KO many people (only Maria Hill, actually), but he did deal considerable damage to several characters.

Next week we will be playing that Call in the Calvary scenario and Captain America will definitely get a go then. Hopefully, I will be able to play one or two games before then.

Keeping track of some of Bucky's teammates now.

Here is my team for next week:

CA Bucky/Cap
CA Captain America #040
CA Falcon
CA SHIELD Agent
WoS Nurse

Calvary:
WoS Iron Man/Warmachine

So it's Cap and Cap and Cap and Cap?

Pretty much, it started out with Bucky and expanded from there. It's all in fun, and I'm enjoying it.

Went 3-0 again! Bucky/Cap has not failed me yet. No one ever seems to view him as a major threat, so they focus on Ms. Marvel or Shield throwing Cap, while Bucky takes everyone out. Double Base Cap did a great job and dealt a lot of damage, but everyone did their best to make sure that he didn't get the chance to do much.

So, first game I played against:

CA Baron Zemo
CA Mr. Hyde
CA Cobra

Whose Calvary was:
CAGF Red Skull
CA Viper
CA Sin
CA Batroc

I was looking forward to adding Zemo to the list, but he KO'd himself on a push to pulsewave.

Second Game was against:

GLFF Guardian of the Galaxy
GLFF Sinestro
GLFF Abin Sur

Calvary:
WL Sinestro
AA Question
WoS Nurse

I was trying to be very careful with this one. I defeated Sinestro and spent the rest of the game trying to weaken the Guardian, so he wasn't a threat, without KOing him, but I could never hit him. He KOd Falcon almost immediately and eventually got Bucky, bringing in Iron Man/Warmachine. At first, I made the mistake of thinking that he had Quintessence, but I realized my error quickly. The Iron Duo and Cap spent five turns slowing getting the Guardian down his dial, my dice were not very good this game. I finally KOd him about two minutes before the end of the game, not giving my opponent enough time for his calvary to do any damage.

Third game:
FCBD Green Lantern
AN Guy Gardner
GLGF R'Hamey Holl

Calvary:
AN Ganthet


This one went pretty quickly. Falcon spent several turns working Green Lantern down his dial (this was also, the only game that Falcon wasn't one-shotted), while Cap and Bucky were working on Guy, and SHIELD Agent based and wounded R'Hamey a bit.
The last turn was absolutely amazing. Bucky shot Guy, KO, Falcon hit Green Lantern, KO, and Cap charged R'Hamey Holl, KO.
The Judge had ruled that the Calvary came in at the beginning of your next turn, so if you lost all of your figures at once, your calvary couldn't come in, so that was the end of that game.

Not sure when I will get to play again, as I am moving into my College dorm, about an hour away from home, so I won't be able to play at my usual venue. Hopefully, I can find a good place to play. What a way to end an era, though.
