Episode 68: A-Force Vs Avengers (A Marvel: Crisis Protocol Battle Report)

[@shaunkrogulski9619]

Fun game! Dice roller coaster for both of you 😆. I would be interested in a criminal syndicate vs Asgard with Ulik and Beta Ray Bill respectively 😁

[@ozarkgladiators5819]

I have been wondering how Ulik will play into Criminal Syndicate, so this battle is a definite possibility. Thanks for watching and the reply!

Always fun watching your batreps ;p I am hesitant to bring up since Nikki was having a rough early game, Shulk's throwing Widow into Steve would have hit the building he was standing on first. Thematically, all good!! Also LOVING the board with many large buildings. Bravo!!!! I hate sparse terrain boards. This game loves terrain.

[@ozarkgladiators5819]

Thanks for reminding us of this, we were too carried away in the moment. Nikki and I were just thinking back, and that was one of our first mistakes in our first videos, when Thor threw something at Killmonger. We played that completely wrong. So great reminder because we will be playing with lots of buildings from now on. We’ve actually got a couple more, but I’m just getting them finished up. As always thanks for watching it and thanks for commenting.

I'm so glad watched this. Very swingy game. Fun to watch, not so much to play. Getting on topic, when a mini (without wallcrawler or flight) advances from one size 5 to another size 5 with space inbetween them, does the mini have to make 2 movements to do that or just skip the gap? This question never occured to me till now (since the release).

If rolling blanks was a superpower, you two would have it in spades!

[@ozarkgladiators5819]

Haha oh I wish it weren’t true, but that is so accurate! 🤣

Two things: 1. Battle suggestion- Big Boys vs Beasts. Screw the affiliations. One side is beefy Guy's (Blob, Jugger, Dynamo, etc.). The other side is critters (Rocket, Ursa, Beast, Lockjaw, etc.). 2. Be on Twitter! :) (So much better than FB.)

[@ozarkgladiators5819]

We just got the Twitter account working again and will start posting from there. :) And we have our next two games planned, but Big Boys vs Beasts is now on the menu. That sounds like a lot of fun!

[@joesleboda7200]

Just as with all your other videos, this one is much appreciated. Fun mix of characters. I've noticed that in several of your games you put aside the rule that all pieces of terrain must be Range 2 apart. You also have terrain "on top of" other terrain, so to speak (like elevated rails, etc.). I'm guessing it's so that you can make your table much more visually interesting and thematic. I know you touched on some of the difficulties these choices present (placing larger models, going under stuff), but I'm wondering if you have an agreed upon set of house rules that resolve some of the issues and that you consistently apply across all your MCP games. Do you? How do you balance things between theme and rules-as-written? Not a criticism, just curious.

[@ozarkgladiators5819]

Great question! I guess the easiest way to start this answer is to say we played by the rule of cool. Yes, we do talk about how the terrain works, what we can do, and what we can’t do. That is kind of the difference between us playing just fun, casual games and then something that would be more competitive. we just think it looks more fun and just enjoy it more, if we were ever doing something more serious, or we’re trying to teach something, we would definitely follow the rules a lot more strictly.

@@ozarkgladiators5819Makes sense, and matches both what I figured might be the case, and also how my amazing lady and I play - We wanna crush each other (in a fun, friendly) but also like to do what "makes sense." Thanks for the info.

Are some of those buildings from TTCombat? I was looking at their city terrain on their website yesterday, but the scale looked small for MCP. If they are from TTCombat, they look good on camera for the game.

[@ozarkgladiators5819]

Black Site Studio and Atomic Mass Games Terrain. Never used TTCombat.

Did you forget about hulks incinerate turn 3?

[@ozarkgladiators5819]

Lol I did but I made a comment in the video. 😃 I remembered by Domino’s attack.

[@adamlangley5731]

Can you tell me where you got the different coloured dice

[@ozarkgladiators5819]

[@joshuaarseneault1191]

I got some too. I like to use the different colors to distingush normal, added, and crit explodes to help eliminate confusion if there have may been a mistake.
