Objectives - Infinity Formula Goes Missing, The Montesi Formula Found
So, for this game I was determined to use A-Force. Theyve been in my 10 man line up for weeks and I have barely gotten them onto the table. I paired them with Asgard for this game as they crossover with Angela, and with Asgard being a smaller more elite force it makes them much easier to pair with.

Game Prep.
For a change (not really haha) Adam wins priority and choses Secure so I am left with Extract. We end up with Infinity and Montesi formula scenarios, so 17 threat is decided as thats the only option. We were hoping to record this game on the new set up, but unfortunately we couldnt get the external mic to work so that was that canned. I was a bit concerned, due to my line up I couldnt get more than 4 characters in my list, so I decide to go with A-Force.
Adam deploys first and goes with Mystique at the top, Kingpin, Toad, Modok and Taskmaster. I counter deploy with Medusa, Angela, SheHulk and Okoye.

Turn 1:
Adam goes with Toad first, double walks him forward and takes the centre objective. I knew this was likely to be his first move, I was hoping the threat of SheHulk might make him think twice. Adam doing this basically decides my strategy going forward.
Angela plays Special Delivery and SheHulk pays the power to join in. Angela moves up and drops SheHulk within 2 of Toad. SheHulk gets her free attack and does 2 damage to the mutant but far from enough to knock daze him, applying Slow. Adam triggers slippery and moves Toad back to the bus stop. Angela then moves forward again and takes the token on Adams side of the board.
Mystique plays Deceptive and moves Angela over toward Kinpin. Taskmaster then activates and moves to the objective beside the building at the bottom, throws a shield at SheHulk for 1 damage.
SheHulk is up next and moves up to near Modok, hits him with an uppercut and does 3 damage and applies Slow, following it up with a throw and throws Modok back to Adams board edge.
KingPin flexes his might and double attacks Angela, only managing to push 1 damage past the Asgardian defences. He follows up it by throwing a nearby car which I decide to Brace and take 0 damage.
Okoye keeps her activation simple, double walking to pick up the objective near my edge.
Mystique moves to her objective and shoots Angela with her pistol, but fails to crack the armour.
Modok gets up from being thrown and moves back towards combat and returns fire at SheHulk causing her 3 damage, he then throws the daily Bugle hut at her causing another 3 damage, uses Medpack, ending his activation by moving her away S.
Turn ends 3 - 3

Okoye continues her simple activations by double moving across to the formula objective beside the garbage truck.

Turn 3:
During the power phase Okoye, Medusa, Mystique and Taskmaster all gain 1 power from the formula objectives.
SheHulk is now sitting on a lot of power, and Modok is sitting on not a lot of Health. I decide to go with her strongest attack and use her super power which adds Modoks size to the dice pool, so it goes from an already scary 9 to a monster 13 vs Modoks 2 physical defence. I roll 6 success, 5 of which are wilds which Modok renders unusable, causing him a mighty 0 damage but does apply Stagger due to his preexisting slow. This will later be a point of the game that is a huge turning point. I attack Modok again and do 3 damage and leave him on 1 HP. SheHulk vents her fury by throwing Modok away.

Well that was actually a really close game. I was pleased with how I did but a little disappointed with my luck. If SheHulk took down Modok on turn 3 it would have changed how the turn went entirely. Medusa just failing miserably to do anything to Mystique for 4 turns was annoying as it meant Adam was always scoring there even though he only had 1 hero nearby. Again I was hampered by the spread out objectives meaning I had to leave 1 of my 4 models behind to more or less do nothing. Also I misread Medusas card on turn 2 and decided to go after Mystique. My plan was to move up and throw Kingpin towards the top of the table so he couldnt close on Angela. But I read the card as she can only throw terrain, which is not the case as she can only throw characters. So misreading that rule had a huge impact on the game as well. Note to self: read cards properly haha. :-)
