X-Men Starter set review

  Hello and welcome to the X-Men Starter set review. This set is half Uncanny X-Men and half Brotherhood of Mutants. If you're new to MCP: hi I'm Sören from Germany and SG Protocol is your number 1 address for written content about the game.  Let's dig into the meat of the article here as it's going to be a long one.  1. Contents :  10 characters (whom we'll discuss a bit further down)  19 Team Tactics Cards (which will also get their own section)  12 Crisis Cards  10 dice  Range and Movement Tools 2. Miniatures X-Men are definitely AMGs favorite child in terms of Minis. No other Affiliation has so many building options like the Mutants. Beast, Wolverine and Cyclops all come with different head options in this set for example. Storm is a pretty difficult build but the rest of the included characters are very easy to assemble.  3. The Rules  (You can find all included cards on Jarvis Protocol here ) 3.a) Characters   (You can click o...

Spider-Foes Starter set review

  Hello and welcome to the Spider-Foes Starter set review.

The miniatures  Spider-Foes are commonly described as being the best looking Affiliation in the game and for good reasons. Every single sculpt here looks awesome. The only little criticism for the included character miniature wise are the comparatively big gaps on Rhino and Sandman.  3.

Why playing "thematic" and playing "only affiliated" can't be the same

   Let me start off by saying: play exactly the way you want to play and how you want your roster to look!  A phrase you hear a lot in the community is that people like to play "thematic". Which is understandable especially when coming from different games with more fixed army lists etc.  There is a reason for the ability to splash in MCP though and that is: the actual comics it's based on. Take almost any two characters you can think of on the game and there's bound to be at least a panel or two in some comic where they had to work together for whatever reason.  That is not to defend putting Zemo and Namor in every list. That's a competitive decision that is also valid but a hard sell to be thematic in some rosters.  Any given game of Crisis Protocol is supposed to be that panel. A certain situation (one might even say a crisis 😃) that brought your current squad together right then and there.  What many people mean by having a "thematic" roster howev...
