I forgot to post after Pydro and I pummeled the Baron and sent him running. That happened.
I wonder if we should be upping the difficulty some tme? It would be pretty disappointing never to use the "Villain" stamp.
I'm the holdup. Received somewhen in September, then both of my best chances to get the game in fell apart. My time has been restricted due to my wife having two conferences in the space of four weeks and the promise to the Grasshopper that he gets a seat at the table for it.
If I had to predict blind right now, I'd say it'll be (American) Thanksgiving weekend before the backlog gets dislodged, but I'll try to make it happen sooner than that.
Well, it didn't happen sooner than Thanksgiving weekend, and the friends who were going to join us had to bail. So, the Grasshopper & I played a 2-player, 4-hero game. Granted that I chose my heroes to make easy to keep track of, and that the Grasshopper insisted on playing in Freedom Tower (even though we'd just used it for our warm-up game against Ambuscade, since neither of us had played since September), but we should have played Advanced Mode. Knyfe, GI Bunker, Wraith, and DW Expatriette just tore through the Baron. We had him flipped during Bunker's turn on round 2, I think (otherwise round 3), having taken 1 damage from him and needing to destroy a total of 3 cards. Two of those were easily expendible, and we continued to tear through him with ease.
Unfortunately, the game store was pretty lightly trafficked with people that we knew, so we couldn't get a picture taken. :( Still, we'll have the envelope in the mail later this week.
Got it in the mail!
And all the heroes promptly won the game, but also died.
Wow, it's only just got to #6?
It's gonna be FOREVER until it gets to me (#16). Sad face.
no, it had an unusually long residence time with me because I promised the Grasshopper a seat at the table. (It was nearly 2.5 months.) should be a lot faster henceforth.
I’m right after Ronway, so yay!
I am announcing that my match will begin! I am playing solo, using the five heroes that have gone unselected so far (Absolute Zero, Omnitron-X, Haka, Ra, and Chrono-Ranger for those who want to know). And decided to use The Final Wasteland, because according to Wizard of Oz, Kansas is nothing but a wasteland anyways.
Hooray for annoucning!
So let's see how many of the decks have their character card removed from the game. . .
I thought hard about using Tronx. He's probably my favorite support character. I was really surprised that the Grasshopper didn't use AZ, since that was his favorite character for a long time. (He got a poster print of AZ's character card as a present from points way far north last Christmas, with the help and permission of Christopher & Adam. I think there's even a pic in their Twitter stream.)
Edit to add: In the end, I tried to keep my two heroes simple to play, because I was running them and the villain and environment turns. If we'd had somebody else playing with us, I probably would have used Tronx.
Further adding: I ran Knyfe & Wraith, he ran GI Bunker & DW Expat. I can't recall if he got a 4 power Unload in the "official" game or in the one we played against Ambuscade as a warm-up, but it went Aim, Tac Shotgun, Submachine Gun, Pride, Prejudice (as a freebie from Pride). he was pretty impressed by that.
Attached are two photos, one immediately after he flipped after getting bit by the Amphibious Chupacabra, including the destruction of Equipment and Ongoings. The Second is when hero victory was achieved, yay!
Hooray! I see his blood on the table!
When you play solo, you have all the cards facing a different direction?
Doesn't everyone?
After all this time, I find out I am doing it wrong. Rule #15 all over again.
It makes it easier to switch seats.
Any updates?
Oh yeah, I forgot to mail it... My apologies.
