Round 1: Initiative Fantastic Four. Mister Fantastic whiffs on his leadership roll and takes the driver seat in the blue car.
Prof X has Jean and Cyclops both move up. Jean fails to throw Prof X up to keep pace with them.
Mister Fantastic rolls only so-so and gets Invisible Woman in the passenger seat of the blue car and drives them forward.
Prof X has Jean advance. She moves and throws Cyclops forward. Cyclops Optic Blasts the blue car. An interesting thing here is that all he has to do is hit one space of the car and his blast affects the car and all figures inside it. The car and Invisible Woman both block, but Mister Fantastic (who is throwing the most defense dice by far) takes a wound.
Mister Fantastic aces his leadership roll. Lady Blackhawk climbs into the driver’s seat of the black car and Iron Man gets into the passenger seat. This takes up their movement for the turn, though, so the car goes nowhere.
Invisible Woman isn’t in attack range and doesn’t want to leave the car, so she stays put. Mister Fantastic rams Cyclops with the car for a wound, then reaches out but can’t hit Cyclops.
Jean rips Mister Fantastic out of the car, but can’t quite get him out of Invisible Woman’s range. She does hit him for throwing damage. Then she fails an attack on the car. Cyclops blasts through the car, all the way to Mister Fantastic. Mister Fantastic takes two more wounds, Invisible Woman takes three, and the Blue Car takes two wounds.
Round 2: Initiative X-Men. Jean and Cyclops tag team again. Jean misses her throw roll and can’t hit Mister Fantastic. Cyclops blasts all three targets again but only hits Invisible Woman, who is KOed.
Mister Fantastic goes and rolls well. Lady Blackhawk drives the Black Car forward (getting an extra space, woot!) and fires but misses Cyclops (who has height). Iron Man’s double attack from the passenger seat takes Cyclops down. Mister Fantastic dodges Psionic Grip to climb back into the Blue Car and hits Jean for two wounds from the driver’s side window.
Prof X has Angel carry him forward. Then Jean rips Lady Blackhawk out of the Black Car (no wound) and she hits the Blue Car with her attack, overkilling it by two wounds and KOing Mister Fantastic as well.
Mister Fantastic had OM2
Prof X has Beast advance. Jean Grey throws Lady Blackhawk for a wound and then hits her from height for a wound.
Lady Blackhawk is Psionic Gripped, so she can’t engage Jean or go back to the car. She fails an attack on Jean.
Round 3: Initiative Fast and Furious Four. Iron Man slides into the driver’s seat of the Black Car, but his double attack from height disadvantage can’t touch Jean.
Prof X has Jean throw Lady Blackhawk into engagement with her, but Jean can’t hit the throw damage or wound Lady Blackhawk (the engagement was probably a mistake!). It wasn’t costly, though, as Beast is now just close enough to engage Lady Blackhawk and KOs her.
Iron Man slips Psionic Grip but can’t hit Jean with the car. He does KO her on his second attack, however.
Prof X has Iceman advance. Iceman blasts the Black Car from full range for one wound. Beast jumps into the passenger seat of the Black Car, but can’t hit Iron Man.
Iron Man, still behind the wheel, drives into Professor X for one wound. When he tries to lean over and blast Beast with his double attack, Professor X uses Psychic Defense X to cancel the turn.
Iceman fails to hit Iron Man through the windshield. Beast hits Iron Man for three wounds.
Round 4: Initiative Iron Man. He fails to ram the car into Prof X. Then his attacks are cancelled by Psychic Defense X.
Iron Man defends like a champ and survives an onslaught from Beast and Iceman.
Iron Man hits Prof X with the Black Car, then KOs Professor X with his double attack, killing the round for the X-Men.
Iron Man hits Iceman with the car and blasts Beast for two wounds.
Round 5: Initiative Iron Man. He hits Iceman with the car for a wound and blasts Beast for two wounds.
Beast Negotiates the “X” off of Iron Man, then Stealth Leaps out of the car (landing safely thanks to Super Strength) and fails an attack on the car itself.
Iron Man KOs Beast with the car, KOs Iceman with his first attack, then misses Angel with his second attack. Beast had OM2 and Iceman had OMX.
Iron Man hits Angel with the car for a wound, then misses both attacks on him.
Angel can’t decide if he’s better off in the car or out. He opts for trying to overkill the car and ends up hitting it for one wound.
Round 6: Initiative Angel. He tries and fails to hit the Black Car again.
Iron Man fails to hit Angel with the car and fails to wound him with his double attacks.
Angel swoops into the Black Car and punches out Iron Man for the win.
Unit Summary: Despite Jean Grey and Cyclops being great counters to what the cars do best here, Iron Man got on a hot streak in end game and started ramming people left and right with the car, then following up with his double attack (very nice) to make it close. Fun game.
- Damage Done (Normal Attack):
- FIGURE MOVEMENT: Speeds up moving pairs together, but slows them down individually a bit.
- FIGURE PROTECTION: Optic Blast scoffs at any protection it provides. Unless going up against an all melee army, protection isn’t really what the car is offering as a partial cover VDO.
- HIT AND RUN 11: (7 for 10) for (1) Wound on Cyclops, (2) Wounds on Beast, (2) Wounds on Prof X, and (2) Wounds on Iceman.
- WOUNDING OF OCCUPANTS: Mister Fantastic takes (1) Wound from the destruction of the Blue Car (would’ve been 2, but he was one away from death).
- Damage Taken: Blue Car destroyed by the end of Round 2.
Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Angel with 3/4 Life wins.
