The first game was a total disaster for me from beginning to end. Most notable, after an over extended Captain America's destruction, was my auto-Wounders' failure to roll 9 or better for at least the first [was it 14, 16 or 21, guys?] attempts.

chas spent most of the game in conflict with Taeblewalker's Thor, who charged directly into the midst of chas' army.

Taeblewalker was the clear winner from the get go, although chas finished a strong second, due to the survival of most of his units.

Seeing how quickly and aggressively my opponents reached me, and each other, in the previous game, I set up on and around the nearest tower.

Taeblewalker's Thor charged into the midst of my army this time.
However, Scarlet Witch Cursed him early, denying him the ability to fly for several turns, during which he took extreme-height damage from an Enchanted Hawkeye.

Enchantress keeps her hair up.

Once he arrived, he seriously Wounded Captain America with his once-per-game Special Attack before finally falling from attacks from multiple opponents.

Moon Knight dropped in later.

Other than an early rush to the center by Scarlet Spider, to tie up a number of units, and an ill timed drop of Moon Knight, who served only to soak up some of Sherman's attacks, my army remained on and about my tower until the end of the game.

Stand

chas' Sersi (450 points, 7 Life, 4 Defense and Regeneration) was the Golden Goose of points (64 per Wound) for Hawkeye, making him my MVP and me the winner of the game, in spite of having zero points remaining on the map at the end.
