Tuesday Clix at Zombie Planet
George, please post these at the store. Fran, fyi. Mark, please send this to your Thursday group.
Basics - Games start at 6:30 unless otherwise noted. We observe the following House Rules - 1) No characters may be "In Contact With Oracle" who are not from the DC Universe. 2) No Colossals unless specifically allowed in the event description below, except Sentinels, Advanced Sentinels, Sinestro Constructs and any Colossal from GSX. 3) You may only use a Theme Team cancel if you have at least 2 BFCs with you to play and you are playing them.
Please note the change in alternate team abilities: wizkidsgames.com/blog/2010/06/17/normal-distribution-players-guide-update-and-more/
For information on the terms Modern Age and Golden Age used below:

For those of you who seem confused by the rules or clarifications:
1. Golden Age Player’s Guide 05/2011
1. 2011 Heroclix Rulebook
1. 2011 Powers And Abilities Card
Keywords anyone?:

Some terms for new players:
"Highlander" - no duplicates of non-generic figures.
"X% Floor" - Your build total must include at least that percentage of the most recently released full set. So, 50% Floor would mean that your build must include 50% points from the Captain America set.
"Floor" includes figures from the Captain America gravity feed, as they have Captain America set numbers. It will also include figures from the Street Fighter and Gears of War sets because I want it to.
A request for all players: Let's continue to focus on making sure we have the rules down and focus a little less on winning the game. I 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 in game terms, 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."
September Preview:
September 6 - Chris F will run this event. "Dust Storm!" (In honor of the dust storm that hit Arizona in July). Build a 400 point Golden Age force. Feats allowed, but no Battlefield Conditions. No figure may draw a line of fire at a range greater than 4. All clear terrain, including the clear portions of elevated terrain, is considered hindering terrain. No figure on an outdoor map, or the outdoor portion of an indoor/outdoor map, may heal. At the beginning of each game round, the first player rolls 2d6. On a result of 2-5, figures may not use the Flight ability, on a result of 6-11, nothing special happens, except line of fire is still reduced. On a result of 12, the dust storm ends for the remainder of the game and line of fire returns to normal, but clear terrain is still hindering terrain. No entry.
September 13, 2011 - "Damn, no Superman!" Chris F will run this event, too. This week is a sealed event. Buy two boosters of any four figure boosters other than Batman Alpha and build your best 400 point team. These will be one-on-one games. No entry. 6:30 start time.
September 20, 2011 - "Back in the Day." (Or, "Ron better be here because this damn tourney was his idea!") Build a 400 point team, of all figures from before the Legion of Superheroes starter (ie., figures that were produced before carded sets) feats and battlefields allowed. Flyers may carry anyone. No theme team bonuses. You may not use figures from "Classics", but you may use figures that were produced in an earlier set and have been reproduced in a Classic set. In other words, you may use Sinister Nick Fury, but not his Classics version. These will be one-on-one games. No entry.
September 27, 2011 - Superman Prerelease. Bring $25.90 (price subject to change) to build a sealed team for the release event. Please note - 6:00 start time. (Sorry, I have to get home to the boys). Prizes!
October Previews:
October 4, 2011 - "War with New Krypton." Build a 400 point DC only, 25% Floor force. No feats or Battlefield conditions. If your force contains one or more figures with the Superman Ally team ability, it may not contain any figure with the Superman enemy team ability. Conversely, if your force contains any figure(s) with the Superman Enemy Team Ability or the Kryptonian Keyword, it may not contain any figure(s) with the Superman Ally Team Ability. All figures with the Superman Ally team ability or the Kryptonian keyword may not have powers or abilities countered. All figures with the Superman Enemy team ability may use penetrating psychic blast, as if they had a range of 6 if range is less than 6, and exploit weakness. $2.00 entry.
October 11, 2011 - JLA/Avengers - Half of the points on your force must be JL__ ("Justice League "X" keyword") and half Avengers ("X Avengers" keyword). Additional 10% build if all figures Modern Age. I have not decided the points, yet, as I want to see more Superman previews.
ANNOUNCEMENTS!
Call a relative and ask for money to buy the Superman set at the end of September! Should be a great set. Featuring figures from "Secret, Hidden, Special Crisis: Flashpoint". Couldn't they have at least chosen a Superman centered storyline?
Halo Clix is scheduled to release on the same day as Supes. We will ignore this until October . . . .
