Owning the full collection*

  Something that I haven't planned at all when I first got into MCP in August of 2022 was at some point in time owning the entire collection.  With the recent purchase of the Avalanche, Exodus and Lady Mastermind character pack that in fact has become the reality for me. Now there is an asterisk on the title for a reason and that is that 12 of the current 230 characters in the range I only own as 3D prints. That is mostly down to availability and also somewhat because these are mostly characters I don't care about all that much.  The twelve suspects are:  Characters (12) Logan, the Wolverine (4) The Weapon X Rivals Panel is just way too expensive.  Nick Fury & The Howling Commandos (3) Hard to find and overly expensive for a single 3 threat I barely use.  Proxima Midnight (3) Hard to find.  Red Guardian (3) Impossible to find (but hopefully comes back into the Winter Guard Affiliation Pack later this year or early next year).  * Thanos, The Ma...

My "Spin The Wheel" season Strucker Hydra list

  For our 10th anniversary season of the German speaking TTS league I decided to do something special and take inspiration from an idea of the Cables Conquests Podcast.  Every player would get a random leadership and affiliation assigned and we only included leaders that are either considered bad or aren't played a lot. We ended up with 18 players (the biggest league yet! 🙂) and these were the 29 options:  Hulkbuster Avengers  Corvus Glaive Black Order  Sin Cabal Klaw Criminal Syndicate  Daredevil Defenders  Baron Helmut Zemo Hydra  Maximus the Mad Inhumans  Steve Rogers Invaders (SHIELD) Doc Ock Spider-Foes  Killmonger Usurper Wakanda  Weapon X  Crimson Dynamo Winter Guard  Thanos Black Order  Magneto Brotherhood  Magik New Mutants  Invincible Iron Man SHIELD  Amazing Spider-Man Web Warriors  Cable X-Force  Thor, Prince of Asgard Asgard  Mystique Brotherhood  Red Skull 1 Cabal...

What we learned from the Post Adepticon 26 interviews with Will Shick

  Will Shick, MCPs original creator and Head of the Studio for Atomic Mass Games (AMG) had loads of interview with many podcasts at Adepticon and I listened to most of them and will try to present all the additional information he gave during those. If you spot something missing please let me know!  1. Why the Key Note didn't show us anything actually new AMG has realized that showing us stuff that's not going to be available for 12 to 18 months and due to the state of the world maybe even longer isn't great. It kind of kills the hype when you have to wait for that long. I totally agree with that and would've been fully onboard if they didn't hype up the presentation this year so much. Communication is a big point of improvement for AMG. That is all well and good but if you do that maybe show a bit more of the stuff you actually can. Shick talked about a Sentinels (I think specifically Bastion) TTC that, if you achieve certain conditions automatically wins you the g...

March 26 Affiliation Stats

  Welcome to the March Affiliation Stats post. As always: we start with All Events first and further down we have Rated Singles Events (RSE).  For last months stats check out the  February article.  All Events (AE) Over 4000 record Longshanks games of MCP in the month of March. Let's see how everyone did:  Servants of the Apocalypse take the crown once again. Very popular, very successful. This hasn't changed ever since the War of Kings crisis rotation has started.  Inhumans had a borderline broken tool banned with the removal of "The Great Refuge" but it apparently had 0 effect on their win rate. Their popularity has dropped a bit.  Someone has found very much success with classic Black Panther led Wakanda it seems and King T also has done well for himself again. M'Baku as the main leader of the Affiliation was just slightly above 50% and even Killmonger Usurper, in for him many games in a month got to exactly even earning Wakanda the 3. Spot.  T...
