On Sunday I'll have my final match of TTS league 11 (European Division) and I'm aiming for a 2:4 record instead of a 1:5. I'm sticking with my pure Spider-Foes list for that game, but I've already decided to try a new team next season. Both for the next Fury's Finest Secret War Patron league and TTS league Season 12.  No worries fellow adversaries of the damned Arachnid: my next in Person game will still be with the Foes! But I've also already begun list building for next season. I can't decide who to take yet though... Candidate 1: Hellfire Club Two weeks ago I was dead sure on playing Hellfire Club. My list contains a mix of my favourite characters in lore and in the game (and of course Lizard who is both):  MY Hellfire Club  Characters: (10) Emma Frost (Emma Frost) Threat: 4 ---Doctor Strange (Stephen Vincent Strange) Threat: 5 Ulik (Ulik) Threat: 5 Sabretooth, Apex Predator (Victor Creed) Threat: 4 Beta Ray Bill (Bill) Threat: 4 ---Crimson Dynamo (Dimitr...

Deutsch wie immer unten. After last Friday's  Wakanda vs Brotherhood game  , my MCP week continued intensely: On Saturday was the game of the 3rd week of the TTS league. Strictly speaking, I would have already won the game 14:0 because my opponent had reported back too late. But I also suggested Saturday as the match day and since we managed to do it, we played the game properly. It was the last chance I gave the original  Roster The game was against Magneto Brotherhood on Scoundrels and Hammers with 18 threat. My opponent uses Magneto, Mystique, Juggernaut and Rogue. I had already decided before the game that I would definitely play Spider-Foes. Probably the wrong decision in the Crisis combo. I took Goblin, Doc Ock, Lizard, Mysterio and Ulik. The game was super close and round 6 ended 17:17 after a very hard swing back turn from me. But I couldn't take the retaliation that the Brotherhood gave me in round 7 anymore. My chance of winning was the round before and unf...

After a long delay, B. and I were finally able to play our Wakanda vs. Brotherhood game on Friday night. 19 Threat on Infinity form and Senators with: Black Panther, Killmonger, Shuri, Okoye and Hulkbuster Against Mystique, Juggernaut, Pyro, Gambit, Blob and Toad. Highlights of the rounds:  1. round Juggernaut steals a senator on my side. Thanks to Hit and Run, Hulkbuster can do the same and still push Juggs off the spot. Played stupidly by me: Pyro and Gambit are still on and Pyro in particular is still doing a lot of damage and Incinerate on Hulkbuster. And to top it all off, Pyrotechnics, which allowed Gambit to pick up the Senator from Buster. I was so excited about my counter move to Juggs, that I made this one way too soon. Especially on turn 1, Hulkbuster is someone you want to activate last if at all possible. Panther and Killmonger each get a Senator on mine and Toad and Mystique on B's side. Gambit and Pyro secured the Infinity Form on the back on...

  Deutsch wie immer unten. Tomorrow is the release day of AMG's new game Star Wars Shatterpoint. How much can this affect the MCP community? In the negative: Many MCP players could "migrate" to SWSP, or at least play it as an addition, reducing the number of MCP players. Fewer players playing the game means fewer opportunities to get new players into the game. AMG could focus less on MCP than before. This can show up in MCP releases (no new minis in June) and less intense and regular balancing updates. I have a lot of faith in AMG for balance updates; I'm a little less optimistic about minis support because they're just not a big company like GW. The fact that 2 new MCP boxes will be released in July as usual is a good sign, but I can imagine that in the future there will only be something new every two months or that it will come out to one box SWSP and one box MCP per month. Happy to be wrong on this though. The content that the Internet produces about MCP could...
