The conclusion will be posted up next week, but I can't say what state Mister Fantastic will be in by the end ;-) Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-80470128890764207262018-02-24T03:41:03.802-08:002018-02-24T03:41:03.802-08:00I think this is the first of your AARs that has ac...I think this is the first of your AARs that has actually, completely drawn me into the story and I've been able to visualise the events in my mind's-eye (normally a failing of mine, not of your reporting). With this one, I did get into the whole comic book vibe and for a simple game I found it all rather exciting. Though I am rooting for Mr Bendy to get seriously wounded (I can't really say out-right dead).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-84413688330687591892018-02-22T01:23:24.720-08:002018-02-22T01:23:24.720-08:00Cheers Joe.

I did think Dr. Doom's force was indeed doomed, when I realised how many of the F4 could fly and the slowness of hit bots didn't bode well ethier, however when his bots closed and all their abilties revealed all faith was restored. Great game, roll on the next episode and "Go bots!"

I've been corrupted by 'Twisted Toyfare Theater' however, so every time Doom is in play, I imagine him bellowing "Richards!" When his plans are thwarted. At the moment, he seems to have the upper hand.Carrion Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12243490491778253955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-7180327690182201682018-02-19T01:49:10.025-08:002018-02-19T01:49:10.025-08:00Thanks Bryan.

The battle certainly seems to be going well for Doctor Doom currently, but this rule-set does have a nice habit of balancing itself out over six turns, and ultimately its the Objective's hidden Victory points which count, not the hits characters take early on in the game; albeit both Reed and Ben are in trouble already!! :-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-40101998630609298412018-02-19T01:42:01.420-08:002018-02-19T01:42:01.420-08:00Most enjoyable, Simon.
