For this game I decided to go back to Brotherhood of Mutants. I'm a huge fan of Magneto and I haven't played him or his companions since before Christmas 2020. Adam decides to mix up and refine his Wakanda selections, including my old nemesis (and source of nightmares) M.O.D.O.K.
Game Prep:
In continuance of our last game Adam wins the priority roll and choses 17 threat for the list building. Unfortunately I forgot to mark down who chose what, so I apologise for that. This time our game is more compact with more objectives being within a short distance of each other, and no pesky skrull this time either :)
Adam deploys along his edge With Okoye on the left, followed by M.O.D.O.K, Zemo, Shuri and finally Black Panther. I decide to go with Mystique, Zemo, Magneto, Toad and Winter Soldier from left to right.
Turn 1:
During the power phase I place a Magneto construct just beyond the bus stop.
Adam wastes no time and double moves Black Panther to the right hand spider portal to secure it for himself.
I had a plan in my head here, and it involved Toad racing across the board, taking the centre Infected, then chucking it back to Magneto and being an overall badass. So Magneto with his 2 power uses Advanced R&D to give a power to Toad and another to Zemo then moves forward.
Seeing what I was potentially thinking of, Adam rushes his Zemo forward with a double move and takes the spider person I wanted.
Winter soldier runs forward and attempts to take the objective on the right back from Black Panther. Needing 2 successes from 3 dice is a hard ask and unfortunately he fails, allowing adam to move him distance 2 down what has been dubbed Asgard Avenue (ill explain why one day :) ).
Okoye moves up and takes the portal on the left, but rolls the skull to also get moved and I chose to move her closer to my deployment line and further from her allies.
Toad, seeing that his arguably bad ass move has now been thwarted is left on 2 power and a loose end. He decides to move twice and take the Spider person beside the portacabin, and due to him being able to interact at range 2 he tries a cheeky steal on the objective, which fails and also ports him forward to Stan's signpost.
Shuri keeps it simple; moves forward twice and picks up the infected token.
My Baron Zemo flies into action, moving diagonally to take the spider infected close to me, then horizontally to the portal by Magneto and fails.
Modok floats forward and picks up a spider token, also keeping it simple.
Mystique uses deception on Okoye and moves her even further towards my lines and away from her own, she then walks past the confused Wakandan and steals the portal on the left.
Turn ends 4 - 3 to Adam
Turn 2:
During the power phase Modok, Baron Zemo (Adam) and Shuri all get pushed back towards his board edge due to the infected tokens. My Zemo also rolls and Adam moves him towards my board edge.
I place another Magneto construct towards the centre of the board, just below the Stan sign in the middle.
Adam retains priority and wastes no time deciding to beat up Toad with Black Panther. The Wakandan leader strikes Toad and pushes through a single damage onto the mutant which allows him to use slippery to move out of range of a second attack. Panther then pounces at Winter soldier who takes a huge 3 damage from the leaping hero.
Mystique, feeling like some kind of gunslinger, shoots Okoye and causes zero damage but does get the rapid fire trigger. She shoots again and causes zero damage. For her second action she shoot again and again causes zero damage. Good shooting 'Tex.
Shuri, continuing the abuse of Toad, moves up and shoots him but causes zero damage but does get the trigger to move him back. She then takes the spider portal.
Winter Soldier, feeling his time may be near, uses his stack of power to red fury black panther following up with an assault rifle attack and squeezes through a respectable 3 damage. He scoots round the bin truck and takes the portal on the right whilst panther isnt contesting.
Okoye spear blasts Mystique for no damage, moves up and attempts to take the portal but fails, but fortunately no push.
Zemo on my side moves back up to the portal, successfully takes the portal then moves forward again keeping sort of central.
Adam's Zemo runs back up from the back of the board where he was pushed to the right hand portal and attempts to take it back from Bucky but fails.
Magneto, not happy with the wanton abuse of Toad moves forward and uses his builder attack on Black Panther to cause 3 damage and daze the Wakandan leader. Not happy with just that he decides to throw Stans sign at Zemo and do him a damage. Still not satisfied Magneto then throws a car at Zemo doing 2 more damage. Due to the terrain being destroyed all 4 other team members gain a power.
Modok double moves forward, and Toad double moves to safety at the back.
Turn ends 8 - 8
Turn 3:
Again Modok, Shrui and Zemo get punted back due to the spider infected. My Zemo rolls up and Adam decides to bring him forward.
For the third turn Adam has priority and decides to Steel Rush Winter Soldier with his Zemo. Adam rolls well and dazes Bucky then uses the move from Steel Rush to move laterally and jab my Zemo with another Steel Rush causing him 3 damage, then he moves back towards his board edge to safety.
My Zemo activates and quickly medpacks his damage from the previous attack. He tries to do some damage to the injured Panther but his attack is deflected but does cause bleed, and he runs for the dubious safety of Magneto.
Shuri moves back up, shoots Magneto and pushes him backwards for 1 damage, then uses Medpack on Zemo.
Mystique decides to use her superpower and blows up the skip behind Okoye causing her 2 damage. She then double attacks Okoye with her pistol causing zero damage, again.
Black Panther moves and clears the bleed effect. He then takes the portal back from Winter Soldier.
At this point I didnt really know what to do with Magneto so he uses his power to rip up an innocent tree and throw it into open space to destroy it to gain power, giving 1 to Mystique and 1 to Toad.
Modok moves forward, which I never like, and throws the digger at Mystique causing a point of damage.
Toad double moves then leaps forward.
Okoye uses advance R&D to move her power around to the rest of her team. She tries a spear blast at Mystique and causes zero damage, then follows up with a strike and rolls well dazing Mystique in the last activation of the turn.
Turn ends 14 -11 to Adam
Noone gets moved from spider infected, Huzzah.
I feel I can win, or at least push an advantage this turn if I can do well on rolls. So Magneto activates first and uses Asteroid M to place himself beside Toad. He uses his builder on Shuri to cause 2 damage then he uses Shrapnel Blast to do 3 damage to Shuri and daze her, and 1 damage to Zemo. He takes the objective token thats dropped.
Black Panther, seeing what Magneto can do with so much power decides to flex and show off. He strikes Winter soldier for 3 damage, followed up by a kinetic blast. Adam has 9 dice against my 3 and only 2 hp left on Bucky. Panther flies through the air, striking the ground and slightly tickling Buckys toes for a measly 1 damage, leaving him alive but marginally annoyed. Noone likes to see that, apart from me :) Adam, savaged by what he has seen, decides to play Wakanda Forever. Panther finishes off winter soldier with a strike, Okoye tries a spear blast on Mystique but fails to penetrate.
Mystique takes the objective but rolls a skull so is also teleported by the objective. She does a damage to Okoye with an attack then blows up another piece of terrain to give a power to Zemo via Magnetos leadership ability.
Adams Zemo strikes Toad for 5 damage, knocking out the mutant and causing him to drop his spider infected. He then tries a Steel Rush on Magneto and pushes through 2 damage.
My Zemo, feeling optimistic moves, Steel Rushes Panther but does no damage, he then takes the objective on the right but also gets pushed down Asgard Avenue.
Okoye stands her ground and spear blasts Mystique twice and KOs the shapeshifting mutant, she then follows up and takes the objective on the left.
Modok, with not much left to do floats towards the centre of the board and blasts Magneto, Adam rolls well and I roll horrendously and Magneto gets dazed, dropping his spider infected token.
