I'll moderate this one running villains. Randomizer declares the following:
Visionary
Expatriette
Team Leader Tachyon
The Indestructible Bunker
The Argent Adept
vs.
Baron Blade
Friction
Ermine
Proletariat
Fright Train
in
Time Cataclysm.
Modulating the difficulty, a series of coin flips says Fright Train, and only Fright Train, will operate in Advanced mode.
I'll take Expatriette this time.
Opening hand: Assault Rifle, RPG Launcher, RPG Launcher, Arsenal Access
I'll take AA and whichever V5 villain works in the turn order - looks like Prole. Or are you controlling each villain?
Opening hand: Alacritous Subdominant, Inventive Preparation, Instrumental Conjuration, Rhapsody of Vigor
I'm planning to run all the non-hero decks.
Edit to add: I won't be playing any of the heroes.
I'll take TLT.
Opening hand: HUD Goggles, Blinding Speed, Fleet of Foot, Research Grant
I'm in for Bunkering down.
Opening hand: External Combustion, Grenade Launcher, Recharge Mode, Heavy Plating
Chalk me up for The Visionary!
Opening Hand: Mental Divergence, Foresight, Decoy Projection, Cerebral Hemorrhage
Ok guys. I'll get this set up and post the Baron's turn post-grading tonight.
OK, here we go..... The formatting on some of this may be different that what folks are accustomed to, but I'm more used to moderating games at BGG, and this system helps me keep track of things.
I'm unlikely to be able to update more than once daily most days, as 6 decks is a bit much to carry around with me. I'll update more when I can.

Tachyon doesn't like that Impulsion Beam one bit.
Having one player run all the villains is great for reducing confusion, but does that mean that it will take almost a week to do each round?
Also, just to confirm, the hero order is as in the first post, so I'm up next as Ex-Patriette (after Friction)?
Dpt - I've got a few days that I. An get extra turns in, but it does mean this game will move slowly. I tried to be up front about that, and I apologize if anybody felt misled.
OK, no problem. I do enjoy these PBF games, as you can take your time to think about it.
One thing before I can run Friction's turn: who's taking damage from Turn the Tables? (It would target the hero with the most cards in play, but everybody's tied right now.)
If I can get an answer in the next couple hours, I can probably get Friction's turn (at least) done tonight.
I'd request not to take it as BB will keep hitting me
Pending resolution of Turn the Tables, the current status is as follows (with Hero HP interspersed so I can keep track of them for relevent effects and triggers)

We want Engine of Destruction gone, correct? Should I take it out with an RPG Launcher?
And what are the high-priority targets? Impulsion Beam seems like one.
One request for the moderator: Can you mark any nemeses that appear? I had to look up Argentium and Highbrow just now to make sure they weren't relevant.
I'll try to remember to do that. One thing that will help me (and I'll edit the most recent status to reflect it) is making sure I stick ALL the nemesis effects in the ongoing effects header.
I realised that with Impulsion Beam in play, there’s really only one play that makes sense.

Anyone have a card play they want? I'd prefer to play Alacritous, but can play Inventive if we think a power is more usefull this round
I have a Psychic Maelstrom that wouldn't be a hateful play, but I can wait till my turn again if someone else needs to get set up or the like.
Constant Prattle put Mass Levitation in my trash. I drew Precognition from Team Leader.
Bunker discards Maintenance Unit from top of deck and draws Heavy Plating.

Aarg, another one. Shouldn't the first Impulsion Beam be at 3HP?
Ypu, first one should be at 3. I'd rather not discard my hand if possible
I can take it out with RPG Launcher, no problem. (Otherwise I would play Arsenal Access.)
Is anyone planning any all-target damage?
Tachyon has no all-target damage, but does have a Blinding Speed in case you'd prefer to use Arsenal Access this round.

Who is taking damage from Ermine?
What Hero Ongoing or Equipment card is being destroyed by Impromptu Heist?
I can lose Subdominant since I can drop Inventive Preparation and let Expat shoot some stuff. I'll also take the damage. Discard Telamon's Lyra from the top of my deck
Tachyon discards Lightning reflexes. I believe Bunker claimed the damage where ties are concerned (though probably not against Fright Train).
Tachyon
HP: 21
Hand: HUD Goggles, Fleet of Foot, Nimble Strike, Sucker Punch, Research Grant
Play:
Trash: Blinding Speed, Nimble Strike, Lightning Reflexes
Effects:
-------------------------------------------------
Start:
Play: Nimble Strike - deal 2 melee damage to Friction [13] and draw HUD Goggles
Power: Team Leader - everyone draw a card (Accelerated Assault)
Draw: Hypersonic Assault!
End:
-------------------------------------------------
HP: 21
Hand: HUD Goggles (2), Accelerated Assault, Fleet of Foot, Hypersonic Assault, Sucker Punch, Research Grant
Play:
Trash: Blinding Speed, Nimble Strike (2), Lightning Reflexes
Effects: Tachyon is fast. Like really fast.
I knew Bunker was claiming all the 1-damage instances, but wanted to let people speak up about more than that.
Proletariat:
Start: the Proletariat character card takes 4 psychic damage (one from each clone)
Play: Overwhelm the Mighty. (Pausing to confirm whether Bunker or AA took damage from Ermine).
Lol, well, knowing that Overwhelm the Mighty has happened, I would have AA take the damage. But that's a bit cheap, so let's say I volunteered to take the Ermine damage.
The net effect of this (so far) is the following HP totals: Vis 17, Expat, TLT, and AA at 20 each, Bunker 19 with one hit from a Proletariat left to assign. Either Expat, AA, or TLT gets hit one more time before the Proles begin their end-of-turn assault.
Impromptu Heist destroys 1 Ongoing and 1 Equipment, so we need to lose another card as well. I could drop my Assault Rifle, perhaps.
It's not one or the other (I dont have my deck in front of me). If Assault Rifle is out on my turn I can either give whoever wants a power play a power or start healing everyone
I'll confirm that it's AND, not OR. My mis-transcriptions earlier.
I'd prefer to keep Mental Divergence if at all possible, so that I can keep destroying these ongoings.
Either the Heavy Plating or Assault Rifle has to go. Also, I had volunteered to take the Ermine damage, so I think we can honor that without feeling cheap since it happened before Prole's turn was played
I can lose the Heavy Plating if needed, since I have another. I was hoping to get Recharge Mode out this turn so I could soak a bit more, but I'll defer to the group.
If Argent Adept was planning to give me a power use, maybe I should hang on to the Assault Rifle.
Ok, let's scrap the Heavy Plating then.
Ex-Patriette discarded Assault Rifle from her deck for Constant Prattle, then drew Hairtrigger Reflexes from Team Leader.
I also meant to volunteer to take the damage from Overwhelm the Mighty. It doesn't matter very much, I don't think.
OK.... Sorry for the delay; the afternoon turned out to be busier than expected.
At the end of Proletariat's turn, the clones all beatup on people. Everybody but Visionary gets hit once; then either Tachyon or AA takes the last hit.

Either AA or Tachyon takes one more hit from Proletariat, and then it's Bunker's turn.
I'll take the extra
Ermine should not have Subtle Diversion in play; I destroyed that with Mental Divergence on my second turn.
I lost another copy of Mental Divergence to Constant Prattle and drew Wrest the Mind from Team Leader.
Doesn't Impromptu Heist get destroyed after it successfully destroys some of our cards?
Bunker discards Gatling Gun from Constant Prattle, draws Omni Cannon from TLT.

Think you could throw down External Combustion next round? Between Psychic Maelstrom and External Combustion, we could really start to clear the board!
Absolutely! I was just getting nervous about the amount of damage flying around and wanted to keep soaking.
If we just kill them all, there won't be any more damage to worry about.
Notes: I had the destroyed Subtle Diversion in the right pile and missed updating it in the file; same applies to the Impromptu Heist. I think the master status is correct now. Sorry about the extreme delay; yesterday was crazy busy until at least an hour after the kids were in bed, by which point in time I was just wiped out.
Fright Train's turn:
Start: Nothing
Play: Plow Through. Fright Train deals 3 melee damage to Argent Adept (unless I've mixed up which players had AA and TLT), then 3 melee damage to either Visionary or Expat, or else 4 melee damage to Bunker.
End: Fright Train deals 4 melee damage to TLT (same assumption as above re: players and characters).

Think we're on the environment turn. I'm going to be out of town for a few days, so I may not update for a bit if we get to my turn. Apologies in advance.
Yep, we are. I had a crazy busy last few days, with my son having a half-day Friday and then a full weekend of stuff (mostly householdy, but also some end-of-term cram grading).

Bunker would take the Slash damage as SST would not hurt him with Heavy Plating out
How is Fright Train at 35 hp? He should have taken some from my last Psychic Maelstrom (at least 3), plus damage from the Surprise Shopping Trip on Baron Blade's turn (at least 2), leaving him at 30 before my turn.
For future reference, if a villain attempts to destroy an Ongoing of ours, feel free to take Mental Divergence. As of the end of my turn, there are no more villain ongoings on the board aside from Rebuilt to Survive, which is probably better left in play!
In other news...my turn!

It looks like that will finish wiping out all the clones. I think I should probably take out the Suprise Shopping Trip with an RPG Launcher, no?
I would vote for that, yes. Also, Friction will wipe out her own Stolen Gear thanks to SST before she can play card off of it, which is awesome
Late night posting - misread Rebuilt to Survive as healing him at the end of every turn, not just every villain turn. (He does heal at the end of BB's turn, though.) Also, the +1 to the first instance for Fright Train came from Engine of Destruction, which has been destroyed. He therefore takes the 3 damage from SST and Psychic Maelstrom.
Visionary takes 1 energy damage from Highbrow when Psychic Maelstrom enters play.
Bunker, didn't you lose Heavy Plating to the Impromptu Heist?

Bunker played another Heavy Plating on his last turn
So he did. I'll have to work back through the status to make sure his HP are right, then.
Still Expat's turn, whenever we get there.
So Argentium and Citizen Slash are done too, correct?
Going by the HP posted by jffdougan, correct. Also the Stolen Gear, not that that will be relevant for long.
Yes to all of the above. End-of-semester grading blitz now accomplished; should be back to daily-ish updates.

OK... I have not been tracking how many cards are in everybody else's trash (I'm assuming it's Tachyon's), but that one gets shuffled into its deck.
It's Bunker's turn.
8 in Tachyon's trash. I guess I would be upset if I had a Lightspeed Barrage in hand.
Only 4 in Ex-Patriette's trash.
And Bunker's still up.
Ugh, I'm sorry guys, I was in the middle of a move and I was looking for Proletariat to go before I dug my stuff out. Working on the post now.

Villain turn now, yes. I got surprised at work earlier this week by getting semi-volunteered, semi-drafted for an extra project. (I volunteered because it desperately needed doing and nobody else would.) Getting prepped for it has eaten up lots of my free time the last couple days. Still not done, but now broken into bite-sized pieces.

Your Upgrade Mode should be in play. Are you planning to continue to use it next turn? If not, it would be a good sacrifice to Friction. Worst case, I can lose my HUD Goggles, but I'd rather not if I can avoid it.
I can lose Mental Divergence, if there are no better options--I've cleared all the Villain Ongoings currently out.
However, if Upgrade Mode isn't being used, that'd be a better pick.

If I can keep my HUD Goggles, I can probably throw out a sacrificial Ongoing for Marsquake to eat (unless my Nimble Strike draw is another Hypersonic Assault, in which case that seems more important).
For Ermine's turn, discard the top 2 cards from each Hero deck.

Incidentally, most of those current ongoing effects are no longer relevant (Friction, Proletariat, Highbrow, Impulsion Beam, Rebuilt to Survive are all dead).
I think it should just be:
- Increase damage dealt to Bunker by Fright Train by 1.
- Increase damage dealt to Fright Train by Bunker by 1.
- Increase damage dealt by Fright Train by 1 (Advanced mode)
- Reduce damage dealt to Bunker by 1.
Ex-Pat discards Incendiary Rounds and Hollowpoints and draws "Pride".
Visionary's deck loses (thanks to Ermine) a Decoy Projection and Twist the Ether.
I drew Demoralization from Team Leader.
I have 8 in my trash as of Proletariat's turn, so I believe that my trash gets shuffled into my deck this round.
You are indeed correct. I've gotten sloppy after getting knocked behind.
We still need a decision on an Ongoing to destroy, correct? Bunker or Visionary, one of you should volunteer.
As I mentioned earlier, if Bunker still needs Upgrade Mode, I will destroy Mental Divergence. If he does not, then that should be the target.
I think I'm still waiting on a turn from Bunker.
So Kharnel, who was playing Bunker, hasn't logged on for 2 weeks now. Shall we get a replacement? I'd be happy to run Bunker as well as Ex-Patriette. I don't think we have much farther to go in this game, and I'd like to finish it off.
That's fine by me.
No complaints from me.
Lay on, MacDuff!
OK, let's go! On Ermine's turn, Bunker discards two copies of Auxiliary Power Source and draws Turret Mode from Team Leader Tachyon. I'd like to keep Upgrade Mode (even without knowing about the Turret Mode draw); Gatling Gun + Omni-Cannon makes a nice combo.

Omni-Cannon: At the start of your turn, you may put up to 3 cards from your hand beneath this card.
I'll get back to this tonight -- I had a game night last night, and won't be able to really attend to this until the kids are either watching a movie or in bed.
OK... Fright Train's turn:
Start: Nothing
Play: The Crackjaw Crew
End: Fright Train deals 4 (3 + 1 (Advanced) + 1 (Nemesis) -1 (Heavy Plating) melee damage to Bunker [7].
the Crackjaw Crew deals 1 energy damage each to any 2 of Visionary, Tachyon, and Expat.

For the start of the environment turn, Marsquake will destroy a hero ongoing card, if I remember right. I think Upgrade Mode is the most reasonable option.
I volunteered Research Grant for Marsquake, unless Upgrade Mode is going away anyway.
Next turn, I was hoping to play Grenade Launcher + Turret Mode as Bunker, if I still have Upgrade Mode in play. So maybe it's better to let Research Grant go for now.
Sounds good.
Marsquake destroys one Hero Ongoing, 1 Villain Ongoing, and 1 Environment. I believe they could be resolved in any order and that the Marsquake could self-destruct before taking out other cards. However, the Marsquake is gone regardless.

Environment start: Destroy Marsquake and maybe Research Grant

Baron Blade Start: Nothing

Abridged Visionary turn--will be fleshed out later.
Play--Mind Spike on Fright Train (23)
Power--Enlighten Expatriette (unless someone else really wants it)
Draw--Mental Divergence
Can you do the Mind Spike on Fright Train instead? Both Ex-Patriette and Bunker have some multi-target damage coming up, and between them I think they'll take out Baron Blade without problem.
Sure thing--editing now!
Ex-Patriette draws Reload and Submachine Gun, and discards Assault Rifle.
Also, I'm pretty sure we don't get the choice of the order in which to execute card effects on a single card.
Agreed. The paperwork for the Research Grant fell into a crevasse that opened up during the Marsquake.
Then, at the start of Friction's turn, destroy 1 Hero Ongoing or Equipment card.

So can someone run down what's available for this destruction? Ex-Patriette has the Assault Rifle, and Bunker has Heavy Plating, Upgrade Mode, Gatling Gun, and Omni-Cannon. Of those I'd choose to destroy the Heavy Plating, which I guess means I can go ahead and do Ex-Patriette's turn.

That Atlantean Throne Room is wrecking me.
For the same reason, I don't think Expat did that much damage.
Thanks, fixed.
Ex-Patriette draws Quick-Draw and Bunker draws Turret Mode.
Visionary discards Decoy Projection and Mental Divergence (from Ermine), but draws Twist the Ether (from TLT)
For Friction's turn, Ex-Patriette has 11 cards in her trash. Does anyone beat that?
Tachyon has 9.
It looks like Expat is reshuffling and then Bunker's up.
Thanks for the reminder Ex-Patriette shuffles her trash into her deck. Since no one else spoke up offering a potential target for destruction, I guess Heavy Plating goes.

One hero who isn't Bunker takes 4 melee damage. Another takes 3 melee damage. The other two take 1 each.
I have no damage capacity left in my hand, so I'm not going to be much help (aside from possibly Twist the Ether). Visionary will take the 4.
Maybe better to have Ex-Patriette take 1. EDIT: On the other hand, there's a really good chance an Arsenal Access would bring out one of the three Flak Jackets in her deck.
Tachyon can take the 3.
Sorry, been out of town. Without writing up the turn,, I'll give boost bunker's damage then give Bunker a power to launch a grenade at Fright Train and end this
Glorious! Winning...and ending this overlong game!
Good job, all!
The dastardly plans have been foiled!
That's a wrap, then. Just in time, sort of, as I was getting ready to lose a day driving from IL to MI.
Edit to add: I'll also note that, although I expected this to take longer than a normal GtG forum game, I didn't expect it to go quite this long. My apologies to anybody & everybody who has lost patience sometime along the way.
No worries. Thanks for running the game!
