  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...

  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...

  With some time to relax and digest the disappointment of this presentation and AMG seeming extremely confused with the timing of everything let's get through the little we got piece by piece:  A good set of Heroes for the Attack of the Sentinels, with Rogue being the stand out improvement in terms of sculpt, Gambit being a downgrade, Cyclops fine and Wolverine an upgrade. Seeing as they are all of course also Snap Fit (F.A.S.T) they are pretty impressive once again.  They fight against these Prime Sentinels, a new "mini MK4" and one bigger one as the main boss.  I think it's pretty save to assume that we will get about one Alliances box per Quarter now  Cap and Hawkeye were already teased in the original trailer so they are no surprises and Iron Man (once again not the star of the pack here in terms of sculpts for my taste) and Black Widow are logical inclusions. It's gonna be interesting which stat cards for their regular  MCP versions will be included. ...
