DC75 Wonder Woman 127pts

DC75 Wonder Woman 100pts

BB Amazon 50pts

BB Amazon 50pts

BB Amazon 50pts

BB Amazon of Bana-Mighdal 19ts

RD 1 vs Javier (won)

RD 2 vs Arjang (won)

RD 3 vs Dan (won)

At Legends we had a old fashioned 400 points Golden Age event. My Fantastic Four team was:

SI Mr. Fantastic 100pts

+Brilliant Tactician 20pts

SI Bennamin J. Grimm 100pts

FF Johnny Storm 94pts

+Armor Piercing 10pts

FF Sue Storm 49pts

+Fantastic Force ATA for all 4 20pts

Alicia Master BST 5pts

Franklin Richards BST 2pts

Goal of this team is to make sure I use Mr. Fantastic Brillaint Tactician to perplex every one defense up to 21.  Making my opponent miss is the most important part of this team.  Did really well. Won the event.

RD 1 vs Michael (won)

RD 2 vs McClain (won)

RD 3 vs Marcus (won)

It was a 800 points Golden Age event at Game Kastle. It was one of those events where you must a figure that qualify for certain requirements.  My Justice Society team was:

BB Shazam! 140pts

+Alias 3pts

DC75 Green Lantern 145pts

+Alias 3pts

OR Jakeem Thunder 126pts

DCG Atom Smasher 97pts

HT Carter Hall 54pts

+Contingency Plan 12pts

CR Liberty Belle 84pts

DC75 The Atom 50pts

CD Dr. Mid-Nite 43pts

I wanted to make sure I get map choice every round to control certain figures I might have to deal with.  Team did pretty well but I didn't have as much fun as I would thought playing this team. Won the event.

RD 1 vs Arjang (won)

RD 2 vs Kris (won)

RD 3 vs Raymond (won)

On Saturday we did a 400 points Golden Age at Gaming Collection.  My Legion of Doom team was:

AA #104 Grodd LE 161pts

AA #49 Black Manta 68pts

JL #23 Toyman 50pts

DCG #5 Giganta 108pts

In every round I lost only Toyman because I used him for bait and move him around so I can get his perplex in the 3rd click.  Protecting Grodd is very important because he is my only heavy hitter.  This was the second time I ever used Giganta in a tournament and I won with her again.  Didn't believe that I defeated 2 teams with both Bullesye and HoT Captain America and one team with Nightcrawler.  Went 3-0 for the day was great achievement for a team like this in a Golden Age scenario.

RD 1 vs Kimble (won)

RD 2 vs Nicole (won)

RD 3 vs Tyler (won)

It was a 300 points Modern Age event at Gaming Collection on Saturday. My Animal Theme team was:

CA #61 Capwolf 100pts

CA #59 Weapon X 72pts

DC75 #15 Beast Boy (Bear) 60pts

DC75 #15 Beast Boy (Bear) 60pts

With this team I have to change my play style to stall tactic.  I hope to try this team again soon.

RD 1 vs Michael (loss)

RD 2 vs Nicole (won)

RD 3 vs Javier (loss)

It was a 400 points Floor event at Legends and I wanted to win the prize so I build a competitive team for the first time in a long time.  My team was:

SM Superman 150pts

SM Supergirl 100pts

SM Mercy Graves 60pts

SM Hope Taya 40pts

BB Clark Kent 48pts

This team ultimate goal was to control figures like Nightcrawler, Kid Zoom and Bullseye.  I wanted to make sure I win map choice every round to pick Krakoa if any of my opponent was playing these figures.  Got 2nd place because of points but I did end up winning the prize anyway.

RD 1 vs Javier (won)

RD 2 vs Drew (won)

RD 3 vs Prestine (won)

It was a 1,200 points Clash of the Titans tournament at Gaming Collection.  My Kryptonian team was:

SM Supergirl 200pts

SM Zod 188pts

SM Non 150pts

SM Ursa 150pts

SM Commander El 135pts

SM Kal 152pts

SM Superman (Son of Darkseid) 162pts

Goal of the team was to use the "Superman Enemy" TA to control HSS characters.  Using TAs outwit works better because they can't be outwitted by opposing characters.  Using Commander El to boost adjacent friendly defense +1 and Zod boost adjacent friendly attack +1 making my average defense/attack a lot better. Team did very good.

RD 1 vs Leslie (won)

RD 2 vs Dan (won)

RD 3 vs Kris (loss)

It was a 500 points game at Game Kastle and you must only use figures from DC75 and Superman set. My Cosmic Theme team was:

SM Imperiex 280pts

DC75 Ruling Caste Dominator 76pts

DC75 Dominator 36pts

DC75 Dominator 36pts

DC75 Dominator 36pts

DC75 Dominator 36pts

Team goal was to use the 6 Outwits to neutralize Superman. In the frist round I played against a Teen Titans team with HSS Supergirl and HSS Osiris.  Team was very good but my Outwits kept both HSS character from hit and run tactics. End up winning with ease.

I have to dropped out in the 2nd round because I have league games.  Wanted to see how far I can go with this team.

RD 1 vs Nick (won)

My 400 points Soldier theme team for Game Kastle was:

DC75 John Stewart 151pts

HoT Phalanx Soldier 31pts

HoT Phalanx Soldier 31pts

HoT Phalanx Soldier 31pts

HoT Phalanx Soldier 31pts

HoT Phalanx Soldier 31pts

HoT Phalanx Soldier 31pts

HoT Phalanx Soldier 31pts

HoT Phalanx Soldier 31pts

Using John Stewart GL TA to move all the Phalanx Soldiers was the key.  I won map choice and decided to play on the Space Map to cut my opponent range game.  Won the Tournament again at Game Kastle.

RD 1 vs Arjang (won)

RD 2 vs Daniel (won)

It was a 600 points Modern Age game at Legends.  My team was:

Still need to figure out how to play with the Atlantis Keyword.  The problem is the low attack number on the Warriors. 

RD 1 vs McClain (loss)

RD 2 vs Daniel (won)

RD 3 vs Alex (loss)

My Invaders team was:

CA Captain America 83pts

+Inside Information 4pts

+Alias 3pts

SI Human Torch 85pts

AV Toro 64pts

AV Bucky 30pts

FF Namor 122pts

+Inside Information 4pts

Won the tournament with this team.  Defenders TA played a big part with this team. 

RD 1 vs Daniel (won)

RD 2 vs John (won)

It was a 400 points Modern Age tournament and you must have atleast 12 different Keywords on your team.  My team was:

DC75 Beast Boy 60pts

DC75 Bart Allen 84pts

DC75 Donna Troy 79pts

DC75 Osiris 101pts

AA Robin 66pts

We only had 4 players so it was only 2 rounds for this tournament.  In the first round I went up against a A.I.M. team.  I sacrifice Beast Boy (T-Rex) in the 2nd turn to force my opponent to push his team.  Most importantly I wanted him to pust the Fixer because I know that he have only 6 clicks of live and he have Toughness on the second click.  In turn 3 I use Osiris to KO his Fixer and took care of the Mystic damage early in the game.  I won the game with a single Super Senses roll when time was called.  At the end of the game my Robin and Bart Allen was still alive and his Batroc and Black Widow was still alive.

Final round I played against a Avengers team which had a HoT Captain America.  Beast Boy (T-Rex) won this game for me.  I knew exactly what my opponent was going to do in his first turn so I pretty much gave him a free shot at my Beast in the 3rd turn which he didn't took.  I'm very surprise that he didn't take the shot because he will have 4 theme team prob at the attack while I have none.  My following turn my Beast Boy pretty much did its job by killig Jarvis and Tie down Captain America. 

RD 1 vs Jason (won)

RD 2 vs Prestine (won)

500 points Golden Age and everyone must have the same power on the starting click. I choose Toughness and build a Asgardian team.  My team was:

HoT Sif 93pts

+Protected 8pts

HoT Gharskygt 61pts

HoT Valkyrie 38pts

HoT Valkyrie 38pts

HoT Valkyrie 38pts

HoT Asgardian Warrior 37pts

HoT Asgardian Warrior 37pts

HoT Asgardian Warrior 37pts

HoT Asgardian Warrior 37pts

HoT Asgardian Warrior 37pts

HoT Asgardian Warrior 37pts

I played this team a little different when I play my Amazon teams.  Both are similar but the big different is that when I play the Amazons there are usually 3 to 4 characters that activate the minion powers but with this team I only have Sif to activate my whole team minion powers.  Which mean if I lose Sif early in the game then I will have a very hard time winning the game. No disrespect to any of my opponent but in all 4 games I've played none of them really targeted Sif in the game.  I win map choice all four games and used the Space Map.  Won the whole Tournament.

First round I went up against a Combat Relexes/Martial Artists team.  Team was good but I knew I will have no problem dealing with the high defense.  Asgardian Warriors all have a 11 attack with the special perplex of Gharskygt making attack rolls a lot easier.  The problem with his team was the damage output was not enough to kill the Asgardian Warrior with one or two attacks.

Second round I went up agaist a Leadership/Avengers team.  I will admit that I came in underestimating this team big time.  His team was CA The Captain, Monica Rambeau, HoT Captain America and Luke Cage/Tbolts.  His Luke Cage killed off 4 of my Asgardian Warriors without attacking them.  The Tbolts Mystics destroy my team. It came down to a couple of big misses on his part that helped me win the game.

In the final round I played against a Running Shot no theme team.  This team got me a little worried because a well built range team can destroy my team before I can get close.  He Tbolts his Bullseye to Mystics.  At the end I lost only 2 figures due to Mystic damages. 

In my bonus game I played against Joe Phasing/Mystical team.  His team was the worst team I played against for the day but I end up losing because he out played me. 

RD 1 vs Alex (won)

RD 2 vs Michael (won)

RD 3 vs Prestine (won)

BONUS round vs Joe (loss)

500 points Modern Age at Legends.  My Green Lantern Corps team was:

GL Guardian of the Universe 150pts

GLGF Salaak 100pts

GLGF Sinestro 135pts

GLGF Hal Jordan 35pts

GLGF Tomar Re 80pts

I really thought this team will do a lot better. In the first round I went up against a Gotham City team and was I pretty sure I could win this game easily with the TKers on my team.  I think I lost this game because I was too agressive.  In the second round I lost to a X-Men team which pack GSX Professor X, Nightcrawler, Juggernaut and Beast.  His team was well build and he played very good against my team.  Final round I beat a A.I.M. team.

RD 1 vs Daniel (loss)

RD 2 vs Peter (loss)

RD 3 vs Kendra (won)

At Super Store this past weekend the event was 400 points Modern Age but you must have a character with Past keyword and another with Soldier Keyword.  My Howling Commandos team was:

CA Nick Fury 109pts

CA Captain America 83pts

CA Gabe Jones 65pts

CA Howling Commando (201b) 40pts

CA Howling Commando (201b) 40pts

CA Howling Commando 29pts

CA Howling Commando 29pts

GSX Crimson Gem of Cynttak 5pts

In the first round I had to played a triple HSS team with Nightcrawler, AA Flash and Johnny Quick.  I won map choice and decided to play on a map that gave me the only chance of winning, which was Krakoa.  We rolled a four four times in the game which was more then enough to deal with his HSS characters.  To be honest I really didn't win this game but the map did.

In the second round I've played against a Cable/Deapool, HoT Cap and 2x Howling Commandos team.  Coming into this game I was really afraid of his Cable/Deadpool most because of the damage it can do with each attack.  After his early hot dice rolls the game was pretty much decided by two low rengen rolls from him.  He played his team very well and to be honest I might not win a rematch agaist this team.

In the final round it was a rematch with my final round Wednesday night.  She played a LOT better this time but unfortuanately my team this time was a lot better then my Wednesday night team.  Won the match with no problem.

BONUS MATCH!!!  After the third round Joe challenge me with his fun Master of Evil team.  His team was Baron Zemo, Diana Prince, HoT Venom (TBolt Master of Evil), Iron Fist and Hitman.  Wild Card everyone to Master of Evil to attack every turn with a 50% chance of not taking damage was a great idea.  Lucky for me his idea was good but his dice was not.  LOL, he missed on a 6 five times in a row.  I won majorly on dice roll but the best part of the game was my Captain America KO his Baron Zemo for the win.

At Game Kastle it was a 400 points Modern Age game that require you to have at least 200 points of either Hydra or S.H.I.E.L.D. keyword.  My team for the event was:

CA Red Skull 140pts

CA Madame Hydra 75pts

CA Richard Fisk 62pts

CA Hydra Officer (202a) 30pts

CA Hydra Officer (202a) 30pts

CA Hydra Officer (202b) 30pts

CA Hydra Agent 25pts

GSX Crimson Gem of Cyttorak 5pts

Coming into this tournament I wanted make sure of three things.  One, make sure to use Richard Fisk special power to grant Red Skull mastermind.  Two, keep Richard Fisk from getting Outwitted and make sure he is within 8 squares of Hydra Agent to active the Hydra Agent Minion Power: Cut off the Limb.  Three, make sure to use Hydra Agent as the only Mastermind fodder for both Red Skull and Madame Hydra. 

In the first round I faced off against a S.H.I.E.L.D. theme team and almost loss because I underestimated Quake (the actually figure).  When Quake charge in using his special power pretty much handicapped my team early on and Red Skull was off his 1st click.  But at the end Red Skull poison and damage output was too much for my opponent to deal with.  Best part of this match was my Red Skull KOing Nick Fury for the win.

My second round opponent team was very balanced and he played very well.  His team took my Red Skull down 4 clicks but Red Skull end dial is his best part.  His special poison power which deal 2 clicks to figures under 100 points was too much for his team too handle.

My final match was by far the most difficult to deal with.  Her team was pretty solid build having all the power that can destroy my team.  Her Spider-Woman was my #1 target from the start.  I was really afraid of her Outwit/Stealth/Leap Climb powers.  One good outwit on Richard Fisk special power to get rid of Red Skull Mastermind and TKing Elektra in with charge and flurry for 4 (double perplex from Madame Hydra and Lyssa Drak) damage will kill my team.  But unfortuanately she made a early mistake with Spider-Woman which cost her the game.  After that move I know the match was pretty much over.  At the end her team was the best team I've faced off with but mistakes was too much for her to over come.  At the end of the night ALL HAIL HYDRA!!!!

It was a 700 points Golden Age event.  You must have 6 figures on your team.  My Avengers team was:

HoT Thor 226pts

SI Iron Man 188pts

+Pym Particle

CA Steve Rogers 99pts

AV Spider-Man 111pts

SN Ant-Man (rookie) 48pts

UNV Wasp (experienced) 19pts

In the first round I played a Ultimates team.  I respect my opponent for playing this team because I really believe that the Ultimates are pretty weak for this scenario.  Ultimates problems are no support power, low attack, low defense and low damage output.  I won my first round without any problems,  In the second round I faced off agaist a team with SI Annihilus, Green Scar, HoT Captain America, GXS Beast, Lightspeed and something else I forgot.  I won map choice and decided to bring the fight indoor to control HoT Captain America. Again took out this team without much problem.  In my final round, I played against a Kilowog, Iron Man/War Machine, Scarlet Witch, AV Spider-Man, GSX Beast and Red Guardian.  I came in underestimating this team and I paid for it early on.  After his first attacks, it was a up hill battle for me the rest of the game.  At the end it came down to a few Super Senses rolls that save me and it was my Spider-Man and Thor vs his Iron Man/War Machine and Kilowog.  Came really close but at the end Mightiest Super Heroes doesn't fail.  I won the tournament with a record of 3-0.

It was a 600 points Civil War Golden Age event.  I choose to go with Pro-Reg team because I really like Iron Man in the story.  My team was:

SI Iron Man 188pts

+Brilliant Tactician

CA Maria Hill 72pts

CA S.H.I.E.L.D. Specialist 37pts

CA S.H.I.E.L.D. Sentry 45pts

CA S.H.I.E.L.D. Sniper 22pts

CA S.H.I.E.L.D. Sniper 22pts

In the first round I had to be agressive against my opponent because he was playing Invisible Woman for TK, HoT Captain America and GSX Archangel for range.  I took a early gamble with Iron Man dual target EE but failed 3 tries needing a 7. My team low defense was too much to overcome against a good balance team like that.  The second round caught me by surprise because my opponent played flawlessly.  Hate to admit it but he out played for most of the game.  No excuses for this round, I loss gracefully.  In the final round I played differently because I predicted what my opponent was doing.  When I come in a game knowing my opponent play style I really don't have to be too aggressive.  Took out his team and only lose a few SH.I.E.L.D. Field Agents.
