TTS League batrep CSF vs Asgard

 Deutsch wie immer unten.  In round 2 of the TTS League season 11 Shanity from Finland was my very nice opponent. I kept my roster and Shanity brought Asgard onto the digital gaming table. Priority went to me, I chose my secures and received Infinity Formular again. My opponent's extract was Montessi Formular. So a B/E setup. Shanity chose 18 threat. My squad was: Kingpin, Rhino, Ulik, Lizard and Bullseye Featuring All According to Plan, Shadow Organisation, Brace for Impact, this is a Robbery and Indomitable. vs. Thor, Bill, Skurge, Valkyrie and Pyro Unfortunately, I didn't remember all the tactics cards, but Advanced Rnd and Odin's Blessing were important. I think Rainbow Bridge and I think Follow Me were there too. In the first round, we positioned ourselves for the most part and, with one exception, haven't interacted much yet. Kingpin occupied one secure, Lizard and Bullseye the other. Rhino grabbed a Montessi book from a standing position and moved toward Bill and...

Playing on stream (TTS League round one)

  Deutsch wie immer unten. On Wednesday evening the time had come: my debut in the big TTS League. My opponent would be Kollar from Sweden. A quick look at  Longshanks  shows me the profile : Oh oh I'm going to be in trouble... Kollar seems very nice from the direct messages. Then on Tuesday evening I received this message: *Swallow* my first game in the league and "the whole world" can watch? Well what's going to happen I thought and gave my OK. Then the nervousness started 😅 All day I thought about my roster, looked at stat cards 100 times in the crit! Wild! App and had to control myself very much not throw the Roster overboard completely. When we were finally able to start, the nervousness about the stream was still there, but I managed not to get too distracted by it. The game would be difficult enough as it is. I lost priority (like almost always...) and Kollar chose his extracts. His roster was a mix of Malekith Cabal (Cat Dog) and Kingpin Criminal Syndicate. ...

Batrep: A-Force vs. Midnight Sons

 MFBB: A Force vs. Midnight Sons Deutsche Version wie immer unten. Today we met spontaneously on Friday instead of the usual Monday to play. Paranoia/ Gamma Shelters at 16 threat: She-Hulk, Cap Marvel, Spider-Woman and Okoye vs. Blade Immortal Hulk, Wong and Luke Cage. Priority for me (A-Force). In the first round, the respective 2 threats each occupied their own Gamma Shelter while Spider-Woman got the disturbance off of the size 5 building (and thus did not come within Gamma range and received double damage without enemy influence) and all others moved towards the center . From the second round onwards the Carol Danvers Show began: Carol used her size 4 throw in every round from now on and B. had absolutely no luck with his Dodge roles. First, Blade got a size 3 terrain in the face and then went down with a well targeted energy blast. She-Hulk helped with her throws and above-average defense throws. Crucial to her surviving the game, along with the dice of luck, was playing Stalw...

Joining the greater TTS League, feeling list homeless and setting realistic goals

Hi welcome back to my blog.  deutsche Version wie immer unten Joining the greater TTS League: Scrolling through the Discords right after going to sleep Saturday night I saw the post by Dr. Norbert about the world wide TTS League starting season 11 soon and registration being open I decided to just take the plunge and join.  Having (expectedly) missed the top cut in the current Fury's Finest Patreon league, timing should work out mostly fine that they don't want overlap.  Having to play once a week (in addition to, if possible, playing every Monday in real life) is a dream and a dread at the same time though. I have had to accept that I might have to just forfeit a round if I can't find the time. More on that in the setting realistic goals section.  Feeling "list homeless" and being overwhelmed by possibilities  Now starts the process to find a list I'm comfortable to play with. Thankfully just like in the FF league lists aren't locked at least until the to...

MMBB GotG vs Weapon X

In this week's MMBB the Guardians of the Galaxy tried to stop the evil mutant menace of the Weapon X program on Skrulls/ Cosmic Invasion at 16 threat. Star-Lord, Rocket, Groot, Agent Venom and Beta Ray Bill faced Logan the Wolverine (old Wolverine model used), Apex Victor (old Sabretooth model used), Domino, X-23 and Honey Badger.  I took a commanding lead in rounds one and two with 5:2/ 11:3 respectively but then my squad started to evaporate. B. made the smart play of just leaving Bill alone with his Skrull and Portal after he threw Apex of of the building in Victor's first try to do something about him.  AV and Star-Lord handled Logan in round 2 but got (rightfully) afraid of the clap back, which they both just survived on one health but left him alone there then. AV was my most active model and he felt really great to play. But my MVP definitely was Groot who is just an awesome 3 threat.  In the end he couldn't hold of the onslaught of Laura, Gabby and Victor and got ...

How we got here and welcome

liebe deutsche MCP Spieler. Wenn ihr runter scrollt findet ihr den Post auch in Deutsch übersetzt Greetings fellow MCP enjoyers and welcome to my brand new blog.  In this first ever post I want to explain what this blog is about and how I plan to run it.  Why start a blog about MCP?  From Fury's Finest over Omnus Protocol, Alfredo's Size 3 taco truck to the Danger Room and Professional Casuals Wait, did I roll a wild? There are a lot of very good podcasts about the game. But what is lacking in my opinion is written content and I want to add to the community on that front. Also for very selfish reasons I want to increase the games popularity in my home country of Germany (you might have guessed by the name of the blog).  Who the hell am I and why should you ever read what I'm writing?  I'm Sören, 33 years old, married with an almost 3 year old son. I live in Bottrop, NRW, Germany. I started playing Magic the Gathering at the age of 6 years when that games 4th edi...
