Some terms for new players:
"Highlander" - In short, no duplicates of non-generic figures.
"X% Floor" - Your build total must include at least that percentage of the most recently released set. So, 50% Floor would mean that your build must include 50% points from the Giant-Size X-men (GSX) set.
"Floor" includes figures from the Captain America gravity feed, as they have Captain America set numbers.
A request for all players
: Let's focus on making sure we have the rules down and focus a little less on winning the game. For this month, I would suggest that we all focus on not only declaring the physical action, i.e., "I move figure X to this space," but declare the action, i.e., "I give figure Y a move action and move him . . . or I give figure X a power action to running shot 2 squares and make a ranged combat attack on opponent O."
July 5, 2011 - "Patriots among us." Build a 300 point Modern Age force. Your force must include a figure from the Captain America GF booster and a figure with the solider keyword (They may be the same figure). No entry. One-on-one games.
July 12, 2011 - Captain America Set pre-release. Bring $25.90 for a sealed booster tourney. I will hand out boosters in my normal fashion, so unfortunately, you may not use boosters from the brick or case which you purchase. Do not take boosters off the shelf. I will pick up cases from behind the register to use. Start time 6:30. If we get 20 players, the prize for first place will be a brick of Captain America clix. If we have an odd number of players, one player will get a bye and have the option of playing me. One-on-one games.
July 19, 2011 - "Is that you, Steve?" Build a 300 point Golden Age force. 25% floor. No figure may be assigned a feat greater than 10% of the figure's cost. I.e., a figure who costs 50 points may only be assigned a feat of 5 points or less. $2.00 entry. One-on-one games.
July 26, 2011 - "When Captain America throws his mighty shield . . . ." Build a 400 point Modern Age, non-generic keyword force. 50% floor. You get an additional 10% team build to your force if your force contains a figure named "Captain America" or "Red Skull." $2.00 entry. One-on-one games.
August preview:
August 2 - "The dust settles". Build a 400 point, 50% floor Modern Age team. Highlander. This week we will have two, timed multiplayer games. $2.00 entry.
August 9 - "I wanted to go to Gencon. " Build a 300 point Modern Age team. This will be a one-on-one event. Only maps that are useable at "Worlds" may be used. (See: heroclix.com/announcements/worlds-2011-the-map-menu/) $2.00 entry.
ANNOUNCEMENTS!
If you come to a game and ask me what "floor" means, or what the newest PAC wording is, etc. will make me cranky, as I have given you the links above.
We are getting together to go to see Captain America on July 22. More details to follow.
Save your money, bottle tops, cans and green stamps for the Superman set in September! Should be a great set. All these new figures from DC continuity . . . oh, right, they are rebooting the whole damn Universe after "Secret, Hidden, Special Crisis: Flashpoint".
Prediction: The 2012 DC Special event will be Reverse Flashpoint . . . Get it? Reverse Flash point. Ah, nevermind . . . . Remember, you heard it here first!
