SG Protocol

  Last week AMG revealed MCP: Alliances a new Spin Off game slated to release in September and today we saw new next two Starter Sets (which I predicted a couple of  months ago here ) for regular MCP supposed to come out as early as July.  We'll go through everything we know about each so far and I give my honest reactions. To them.  Let's start with the easier one:  Starter Packs for Asgard and Guardians of the Galaxy  Asgard will include:  Thor, Hero of Midgard; Loki, Prince of Lies, Lady Sif; The Mighty Thor; Heimdall; Skurge; Enchantress; Angela; Valkyrie on Elendil; Warriors Three  So CP91 + CP225 + CP94  Seeing CP94 included here is definitely a big surprise as it released just last month. I would've also expected the original Asgard Affiliation pack to be among the models here personally. It's still an insanely good deal and a great way to start Asgard.  Guardians of the Galaxy will include:  Star-Lord; Rocket; Groot; Cosmic ...

   Last Saturday I was finally able to play my first game with Adam Warlock, Phyla-Vell and Moondragon and of course the Cosmic Awareness leadership. In what would end up a dice fest we played 19 threat on Intrusions and Legacy Virus for the ultimately slow 6 VPs per round crisis combination. I could, and in the end maybe should, have picked Lockdown instead of Intrusions but I was afraid Adam himself would lack the necessary mobility.  I faced off against Benni's Malekith Cabal.  They brought Mal, Bullseye, Killmonger, Baron Zemo and Winter Soldier with Soldat Activated.  Since I definitely wanted to have all of Adam, Quasar and Moondragon on the table immediately my choice was between my two other 4 threats in the list which are Yondu and Shang-Chi. I decided on Shang as I didn't think Yondu would be at his best on a double C map.  I deployed the Power Couple together on my right side which ended up having Zemo and Killmonger, Adam straight in the middle ...

  Welcome to the February Affiliation Stats post. You probably know the drill by now: we start with All Events first and further down we have Rated Singles Events (RSE).  For last months stats check out the January article.  New Mutants take #1 with 40 wins in 70 games for a 57% win rate.  A very good month for Hydra who had success under all three leaders. Only 4 games but still interesting that Helmut Zemo leadership has been played at all.  The same can be said for SHIELD, but in way more games mostly under Namor.  Convocation have their signature almost exactly 100 games per month and are well above 50% once again.  Inhumans down and out after the Great Refuge ban? Not even close. Their play rate dropped a bit; their win rate did not really.  Still extremely popular and still very successful remain the Servants of Apocalypse.  Over 500 games played, with even Peter Parker reaching 107 which is well above many Affiliations can boost in to...

  Adepticon 26 is approaching fast and here is what I expected we will see during the MCP Roadmap Panel:  1. Updated Stat Cards for the Re Releases  There is a good amount of Hopium involved here that we will get the document right after the Panel and won't have to wait for an unspecified date sometime in May like last year... We know there are updates coming to Ant-Man, She-Hulk, Omega Red and Mister Sinister at the very least and more Stamina buffs across the game where also clearly mentioned at Ministravaganza 25.  2. New Single Person Starter Sets  I've detailed in  this article  how I think future Single Person Starter Sets will look like and I'm about 100% certain the Guardians one will be shown at Adepticon and Asgard has a high chance of being the second for this year. Potential rejoice for anyone looking to find a Beta Ray Bill model.  3. Wonder Man I've been predicting him for a long time and was never right before but the reasoning rema...
