C3G Themed Team Tournament

[Devil's Advocate]

Using a Different Thread as Inspiration (Hahma's), I created a 25 Team C3G Tournament. Here are the Parameters:

1. Every C3G Figure and Official Marvel Figure Has to Be Included on a Team (Including the New Mxyzptlk). Only Anti Monitor was Excluded.
2. Each Figure Can Only be Used 1 Time
3. Each Team will be Built Around a Theme
4. Each Army will be in the 1,000-1,100 Point Range
5. Squads were capped at 4x as a Maximum
6. The Single Elimination Bracket was Populated by Random Draw
7. Due to the Odd # of Armies, 7 lucky Armies received a 1st Round Bye

*Only Commissioner Gordon was used more than Once (2x)

*Only 4 Non C3G figures were included: (3 Of my Customs-Mxyzptlk, Asgardian Destroyer, and Mordru and Maddog80's Cyborg SuperMan)

[GamerHusband]

I will be keeping an eye on this one. I am currently trying to find a new format of play for my weekly heroscape game.

[Hahma]

Well I too will be keeping an eye on this one too. I've found it fun sometimes to throw together some armies that you wouldn't normally put together and see what happens. The fun thing about this game is that you can theoryscape all you want, but crazy things happen during the game to mess up any kind of plans you might have thought you had. Sometimes big name players choke and the little guys grab the spotlight and have career games.

Are you using specific maps or mixing and matching? I think for mine, I'm going to use the same map for all the first round match-ups and then switch to another map for the next round. It's just for fun, so why not?

[Devil's Advocate]

I hate map building so I am just using 1 map that is symmetrical and I believe to be pretty neutral for range and melee. On the 1 hand it lacks roads, jungles ,and shadow spaces but also it is pretty small without large amounts of elevation and without terrain stoppers like water, lava, snow.

[Hahma]

Sounds like a plan.

[Devil's Advocate]

Here are the 1st 5 Battle Reports from Round 1. Pretty Amazed how close All the Battles were. Even a Couple Upsets in the Initial 5 Matches.




1) DOOM by Moles-Doctor Doom (375), DoomBots x 5, Mole Power-Mole )Man (100), Moloids x10 (100)-1050
VS
2) Conquerors-Darkseid (380), Magneto (310), Annhilus (360)-1050

Battle Report Match 1

-Moloids and MoleMan started off the Game, Slowly got killed off but took down Darkseid
-Magneto's Shielding allowed him to survive quite a while, eventually killed by Doom but inflicted 3 wounds and took out a few bots
-Annhilus and Doom battled it out at the end, A killed 3-4 Bots, and inflicted 5 Wounds to Doom (Doom Died once, rolled an 8 on the Bot)

Winner: DOOM by Moles-Doom has 2 Life Left at End of Round 10! Extremely Close and Long Game

Brief Analysis
*Magneto's and Annhilius' survivability almost pulled out the win. However, getting almost nothing from Darkseid was too much to overcome vs all the moloids and DOOM bots. Doom's Power Drain was only marginally useful this game. DOOM was saved once by a DOOM bot (rolled an .

----------------

4)Black as Night-Mordru (1000), Shadow Thief (70)-1070
VS
5) Assassains-Elektra (170), Hand Ninjas x4 (255) Deathstroke (280), Punisher (180), Creeper (125)-1095

Battle Report Match 2

-Ninjas and Elektra Began game by swarming field

-By Turn 2 of Round 1, Mordru down to 1 Life, Drains Elektra for 4 Life!

-Battle of Attrition with Ninjas Slowly dying, Mordru down to 2 wounds
before Draining Teammate for 3 Life!

-Elektra and Ninjas Die, Deathstroke killed by 1 attack (7 skulls!! vs 2
shields, does 0 damage in game)

Winner: Black as Night- After almost dying in Round 2, Mordru (5 Life Left) and Shadow Thief (1 Life Left) Win in Round 7

Brief Analysis
*An interesting game where the winning side almost lost by Turn 4. The mass Ninjas were a poor matchup for Mordru but 2 fortunate Life Drains provided him enough life to pull out the win. Deathstroke dying in 1 attack was a huge loss to the Assassain team.

-------------

7)SHIELD- 5x Spotter (125), 6x Sniper (200), 4x Agents (440), Daredevil (180)-985
VS
8]Marvel Villains-Super Skrull (340), 3x Skrull Warriors (330), 4x Kree Scout (160), Doctor Doom (245)-1075

Battle Report Match 3

-Game Begins with Agents and Skrull Warriors trading shots. Heavy
Casualties, Warriors wiped out, a few Agents remain.

-Doom enters the game and take down a few agents and a Sniper, but
Snipers set sights on Doom and Take him down quickly.

-Super Skrull begins to wreck Havoc vs Shield, he can't be attacked from
Range. Snipers die and fail to wound him, poor rolls + Rockwall Bounce.

-DareDevil Inflicts 2 wounds on Skrull but dies after 2 Rounds, Misses
every Super Senses roll and dies.

-Super Skrull wipes out the remaining Scouts for the Win.

Winner: Marvel Villains-Marvel Villains win in Round 6. Super Skurll (3 life left), 1 Warrior, and 4 Scouts Remain

Brief Analysis
*The SHIELD side was winning for the majority of the battle but Super Skrull was a horrible matchup for a range army and Daredevil had bad luck. The Snipers rolled pretty poorly when they engaged Super Skrull and Super Skrull pulled off 4 Rockwall Bounces!

--------------------

9) Green Lanterns-Green Lantern Kilowog (310), Green Lantern Hal (350), Green Lantern Kyle Rayner (300), Green Construct (120)-1080
VS
10) Backup Avengers-Silver Surfer (320), She Hulk (310), Captain America (220), Spider Man (160)-1010

Battle Report Match 4

-Kilowog begins game by boosting Hal and Kyle. Hal begins by Targetting
Captain while Surfer sneaks away to target Kilowog.

-A boosted Hal on Height quickly kills CA but a surprise attack by She Hulk
kills Kilowog.

-Hal retaliates by killing She Hulk with a 5 wound attack and the Avengers
seem screwed with only Surfer and Spider Man vs Kyle, Hal, and
Construct.

-Surfer reponds by obliterating Hal and Construct in consecutive attacks!
(Hal rolls 1 Shield, COnstruct 0)

-Kyle struggles to wound Surfer with him rolling many 3-5 shield Defense
rolls.

-Surfer Inflicts the Final Wound to Kyle.

Winner: Backup Avengers-Silver Surfer (1 ife Left) Spider Man (5 Life Left)

Brief Analysis
*This match surprised me since it looked like Team GL was going to roll. 2 consecutive Whiffs though completely changed the game (Hal died with all 4 markers on his card and the construct died in 1 attack of 2 skulls. Surfer also was rolling shields like crazy. If played again I think the GL would roll.

---------------

24) Girl Power+Green Arrow-Posion Ivy (165), Huntress (170), Molly Hayes (180), Spider Girl (140), Catwoman (145), Black Canary (190), Green Arrow (130)-1120
VS
25) Refuse to Die-Thanos (360), MXY (240), cyborg superman (410)-1010

Battle Report 5

-Green Arrow Starts Off with an attack agaist MXY who rolls a 4 and Dies on the 1st Turn of the Game!

-Molly further puts the Villains in a hole with a huge 6 skull roll against
Cyborg Supes, causing 3 wounds and dropping him to 2 Life.

-Cyborg Supes retaliates by killing Molly, but dies when Green arrow
attacks.

-With only 1 figure left after the 4th Turn of the Game, it looked bleak for
the Villains until Thanos began his rampage of killing Canary, Green
Arrow, and Huntress in only 4 turns,

-At the beginning of Round 4, Cyborg Supes Resurrects! only 2 be
seduced by a 1 Life Poison Ivy. Ivy's next turn she can win the Game for
the Heroes if she can seduce Thanos but instead rolls a 17 to bring back
Myzptlk! and then is killed the next turn by Thanos.

-Thanos finishes the Game by finishing off Catwoman and Spider Girl.

Winner: Refuse to Die- Thanos (3 Life Left), Cyborg SuperMan (5 Life Left), Mxyzptlk (1 Life Left)

Brief Analysis
*What a crazy match. The Women dominated early and then Thanos was unstoppable the rest of the game. The Villains won with All 3 still on the game yet were 1 D20 Roll from Posion Ivy away from losing the game. As expected, a ranged flying high stat figure was a beast vs all the low/mid cost women.

[Hahma]

Great stuff DA, cool that the battles were close.

[Scapemage]

Cool! Gordon's popular.

[Devil's Advocate]

Results for the 2nd part of round 1

Match 6

Yellow Lanterns-Sinestro (330), Arkillo (310), Sinestro Corp Soldiers x4 (440)-1080
VS
Destroy the X Men -Mystique (165), Blob (165), Pyro (120), Killer Croc (200), Toad (95), Angel (90), Sentinel (160)-995

Battle Report

-Angel begins the game carrying Blob while Arkillo destroys a Sinestro Corps to boost attack.

-With boosted attacks, Angel quickly falls, but manages to get blob engaged to Arkillo.

-Sinestro engages blob and uses his Fear Special Attack to kill Blob in only 2 turns.

-The Yellow Lantern Corps continues to roll extremely well, killing Pyro and Sentinel on consecutive turns (7 skulls, 6 skulls, 6 skulls)

-Sinestro and the Crops continue to dominate and kill Killer Croc and Toad in Round 3.

-Mystiqe places a few wounds on Arkillo but Sinestro ends the Massacre at the beginning of Round 4.

Winner-Yellow Lanters: Round 6 Arkillo (2 Life Left), Sinestro (4 Life Left), 3x Sinestro Corps

Brief Analysis

*This game was a Massive Beatdown. Ranged flyers with Huge Attacks and a bonding Uncommon Hero vs Low/Medium Defense Heroes was a huge mismatch. The fact that the Yellow Lanterns rolled attack dice very well ended the match very quickly.


Match 7

Battle Report

Fantastic 4 + Civilians-The Thing (325), Invisible Woman (215), Human Torch (225), Mister Fantastic (235), Civilians x3(135)-1135
VS
Metal Men-Asgardian Destroyer (825), Colossus (260)-1085

Battle Report

-Destroyer begins the game by landing a 2 wound Disintegration Beam against Torch

-Mr. Fantastic advances his team and is able to lock down the Destroyer and rolls amazing on Defense (2 straight 5 shield rolls).

-Torch begins his Dominance by Flaming On to give Colossus 2 wounds and then the next turn Inflicts 2 wounds to both Mr. Fantastic and Destroyer with Flame On and then Flames on Again to kill both Destoryer and Mr. Fantastic!

-The game ends with Torch inflicting the last 2 wounds to Colossus with Flame On.

Winner-Fantastic 1 (Torch), I mean Fantastic 4: Round 4 Torch (1 Life Left), Thing (3 Life Left), Invisible Woman (4 Life Left), 7 Civilians

Brief Analysis

*Torch himself inflicted 967 Points of Damage!! His Flame On power still seems too strong to me. For the Villains, Torch was perhaps the single worst matchup they could have drawn, a flyer who can inflict an insane amount of Auto wounds and bypass Defense.

Match 8

Hero Scrubs-Sub Mariner (250),Beast (170), Plastic Man (145), Nightcrawler (140), Echo (130), 5th Precints x3 (195), Gordon (90)-1120
VS
It Came From the 5th-Mxyzptlk-1100

Battle Report

-Mxy begins by advancing and so do Gordon and his Cops so My slowly begins killing the 5th Precinct.

-Beast Joins in and tries inflicting wounds but the Imp's good rolling is protecting him from wounds.

-A crazy 2 turn stretch seems Mxy roll an 18 to autokill Beast and then a 20 to Mindshackle Echo!!!!

-Gordon eventually falls, causing Sub Mariner to wound the Imp in revenge.

-However, SubMariner gets tricked into attacking hemself and then dies shortly after.

-Another 19 delivers an Autokill against Nightcrawler and from then it is just mp up duty for Mxy and Echo.

Winner-It Came From the 5th Dimension: Round 5 Mxy (4 Life Left), Echo (1 Life Left)

Brief Analysis

*This game was pretty 1 sided. The Hero team itself was pretty weak (an odd assortment of characters) and Mxy had some amazing D20 rolls (mutiple 19s/20s)

Match 9

Hail Hydra-Hydra Agentsx4 (320), Red Skull (190), Deadpool (285), Bob (25), Venom (150)-970
VS
BatMan Villains-Penguin (120), Riddler (140), Joker (190), Black Mask (100), Harley Quinn (130), Two-Face (130), Street Thugs x4 (200)-1010

Battle Report

-Harley begins with a Smilex Bomb vs a very full start zone, killing 4 Hydra Agents and Wounding Redskull.

-The Street Thugs and Hydra Agents continue to inflict wounds on each other, with the hydra agents slowly losing the battle of attrition.

-However, while all the Hydra Agents are dying, the main Villains are proving almost impenetrable vs the weak attacks.

-The tide quickly turns as Penguin, Black Mask, and Harley die in rapid succession as do almost all of the remaining Street Thugs.

-With only Joker and Riddler remaining against Red Skull, Venom, and a Full Health Deadpool the game seemed over until Improbably Joker and Riddler were able to win 3 consecutive Initiatives and take 10 consecutive turns!!!!! Which allowed them to slowly take down Deadpool and then Venom.

Winner- Batman Villains: Round 13 Joker (2 Life Left), Riddler 4 Life Left

Brief Analysis:

*Early on the Batman Villains were dominating but Deadpool's healing and Wisecracks proved impenetrable to the Thugs low attacks. Watching Joker and Riddler take down Deadpool, Venom, and Red SKull was shocking.
This Battle took Forever!. The Batman villains weak attacks were easily block by a wisecracking Deadpool and the constant turn skipping prevented significant retaliation. 5+ Attacks per side per turn also makes for long turns
