So I got to finally make it over to the local venue for some games today. I had a few armies built and had a hard time trying to figure out what to play. I had a Spy team with Classics Nick Fury, SR Winter Soldier, and Ghost Widow. I had another team of Ultimate Thor and a Paramedic. I had an Avengers team of HOT Captain America, SI Spiderman, SR Jarvis, and SR Scarlet Witch. But on Friday I got in my repainted Green Lantern as a White Lantern, and I was mostly looking to have fun so I decided to play him.

So if it worked out right, I would have Green Lantern shooting at a 12 attack for 5 damage. Stealth would wreck me, but hopefully no one brought much or I would be able to get lucky before it killed me.

Round 1 I get paired with Christian. Christian has been playing for a few months and one of the last tournaments I was able to make it to was actually his first tournament that he'd ever been to. He's gotten pretty good and played this game perfect. He was running SI Spiderman, HOT Venom, and SI Spider-girl. We played on the Crash Site map. I started by moving up everyone with GL and putting the GCPD on Mjolnir. He moved Spiderman and Spider-girl behind some blocking terrain. Next turn I rolled for Mjolnir and missed. He moved up Venom and cleared the Spiders. After that I tried to get LOS but couldn't so repositioned. He then moved up Spiderman and Spider-girl to swarm GL. I tried to break away to use Running Shot and hit them both. But I missed the roll. Next turn he brings up Venom to join the fun and pushes Spidey to flurry me, hitting both attacks. He follows up next turn with Spider-girl hitting me. After that I got to attack and tried to hit Spidey. I missed and Spidey managed to hit me again. I never landed an attack roll and he managed to roll 2 crits on me during the game. GL eventually fell and it was just him finishing off the GCPD and the Secuirty Guard. 0-1

Second round I got paired with Dan. Dan was playing SI Human Elektra, Lightspeed, SR Jarvis, and SR Hawkeye. We played on the Crash Site map. I brought up everyone to Mjolnir and tried to roll for the GCPD again and missed. He positioned everyone for a few rounds. I got an early shot off on Hawkeye to knock him down a few clicks. He then phased over with Lightspeed to bring Elektra over to GL. He missed his first attack and then hit the second with Blades but rolled a 2 on the BCF roll. After that I was able to knock Elektra pretty good with GL. He got another good shot off on GL that put him down towards his last click. I protected him with the Security Guard and GCPD while he made a run over to the Vine. I managed to hold everyone off until GL healed up and was able to finish off Hawkeye and then Jarvis to win the game. 1-1

Round 3 I got paired with Jeff. Jeff was running Gotham City theme with OOTS Batman, CR Nightwing, and BatB Robin. We played on the Bank map. He moved up and positioned in Stealth. I moved up and tried to roll for Mjolnir with GL and missed. He moves Robin over to be adjacent to all 3 of my figures so that he could Quake. I get lucky with a Crit form the GCPD and knock him back out of hindering. I then move back while he moves up everyone else. He finishes off my Security Guard with Batman and knocks down the GCPD with Nightwing. I manage to finish off Robin while he finishes off the GCPD. He gets a shot in on GL and puts him on Pulse Wave. I manage to Pulse both Batman and Nightwing and after that they both base GL so that he can't do that again. Combined they both manage to take down GL before he can do any kind of further damage to either one of them. 1-2

So I went 1-2, which is the first time that I've not finished on the winning side of a tournament in a long long time. But I had a lot of fun and got to use my new White Lantern repaint. I ended up getting Fellowship and the prizes were a Black Lantern and a Violet Lantern. The Violet Lantern went to Dan and for fellowship I got the Black Lantern. Also, a note goes out to how great Venom can be. In the 2nd round, Christian played Jeff and the Batman team. It got down to Robin and Nightwing against Venom. Venom managed to hit 6 Super Senses rolls in a row and managed to finish off both Robin and Nightwing to win the game. One of the craziest things I've ever seen someone roll.
