IN
The Block
You know the deal by now. We'll be starting after GenCon, I guess.
EDIT: Okay, slots filled, so once everyone's back from their respective weekend events we can begin! :D
I think I'll go with Fanatic. I'll edit this with my draw after I get back on Sunday evening.
[Starting Hand--Holy Nova (x2), End of Days, Sanctifying Strike]
GI Bunker
I'll go Ranger.
Can I take Tachyon?
Certainly.
Fanatic, Tach and Crono vs. a villain with DR1 and no damage boosts, this could be fun.
I'm guessing the scenario involves Iron Legacy timeline heroes finding out that Omnitron is running the prison, doing experiments on the prisoners to improve ideas on how to fight superhumans, or use them or something.
I'm thinking Crono is involved in bringing the whole thing together and Fanatic is inside and they rescue her before they face down Omnitron. As an Alien Tempest might have more trouble getting into and out of the Block than others, and Golem Unity might not be the best hero to bring against a dominating super evil compter.
That's my thoughts on the setting, anyone else?
I'll take Wraith.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that G.I. Bunker's base ability is going to see a lot of play…
I gather we're fighting the Advanced Cosmic Omnitron?
Naturally! 
Any thoughts on team order? (Do we get to choose?) Tachyon first, presumably?
I typically like going in randomized order, it makes the game more interesting
I'll allow team rearrangement, but going with the random order is more fun :D
Well, I drew my cards. . .
The ultimate Target, The Whole Gang, Kill on Sight, The Masadah.
That's a pretty rieiculous hand to start with.
I hope Omni starts with interpolation beam in play.
Grappling Hook, Utility Belt, Razor Ordinance, Smoke Bombs
Random order it is. Accelerated assault, accelerated assault, lightning reflexes, and hypersonic assault for Tachyon.

Barring a good draw from Fanatic, it looks like we’re not going to punch through and destroy the components this turn. But it looks good for next turn if G.I. Bunker uses Panzer-Buster. Destroying the components would flip Omnitron; do we want that?
Also, Wraith, you may draw a card with Grappling Hook if you want.
I don’t think my turn depends on how Wraith updates her turn, so here goes.

So someone hit the S-84 and drop it to 4 or less HP, and Fanatic can final dive and that will clear the field, and we can jack up Omni.
If we reduce the assault drone to 4, we can kill it when the Repai Drone dies with the Whole gang, correct?
Correct.
Just remember it has reduction of 1 on it.
EDIT: Your assumptions are correct. I'd save your multi-target damage for after he flips and drones aren't getting DR. We can probably keep him on that side, so Hypersonic will be valuable for the big damagy thing, and Sonic Vortex if we all lose equips.
I could do Accelerated Assault followed by Sonic Vortex on my turn to damage both Omni and the assault bot, though it would be nice to hot Omni with Hypersonic Assault as well.
EDIT: That is, assuming it works the way I think it does. If I play Lightning Reflexes, then Accelerated Assault, then Sonic Vortex, the Accelerated Assault would go into the trash after it finishes playing, so it would be in the trash when Sonic Vortex gets played, right? (But Lightning Reflexes would not be in the trash, yes?)
I believe that's correct, yes.
Phantaskippy, I'm not sure what you're suggesting. What I have in hand is multi-target damage and Blinding Speed. On my turn, I'd like to either get a burst in the trash or prevent Omnitron from hurting us with Hypersonic Assault; were you suggesting not to play a card at all?
DPT, I'd say if you want to Accelerated Assault to get it in your trash, I was going to drop Grenade Launcher and hit Omni and the Assault Drone, so we wouldn't need Sonic Vortex this turn unless you really wanted to use it.
I'm just saying those cards have more value after he flips, it's cool geting a burst in the trash, but your good cards are much better after he flips or when the rest of us lose our damage, so throwing those cards just to get the drones here isn't as valuable as Bunker getting them with Gremade Launcher. I'd still throw a burst just to feed the trash, but don't play multiple cards in this instance when someone else can do it and we can save your really good cards for when they are needed.
So, correct me if I'm wrong, tasks are as followed:
Get Assault Drone to 4 hp.
Pound on OmniTron.
Fantatic (myself) Final Dives the Repair Drone (which kills the Assault Drone as well, as long as it's at 4 hp), and fling it into Omnitron.
Yep that leaves the field clear and Omni set to flip, and with Agents in control right now we don't have much to fear from the environment deck.

I have two Hypersonic Assaults in hand and would be happy to use one.
Hypersonic this turn would be great because it would let me get set up with Upgrade Mode, especially is we can take out the repair drone
I could follow up the Hypersonic Assault with a Sonic Vortex to take out the repair drone and one of the assault drones (as well as hitting the big bad). I'll be playing Fleet of Foot, so we'll all be getting plenty of card draw. (But maybe I should save the Sonic Vortex until there's a Prison Riot.)
Yeah, stalling here would be nice, let Bunker get Upgrade and Ammo Drop out, if you do Hyper and Wraith does her base power Fanatic can finish the repair drone on her turn, and we don't take damage from the rest.
I shouldn't have done my turn so late at night, I was not paying attention to everyone else's cards.
EDIT: The drone can stay out, no problem. I have cards to play next turn so I don't need it dead.
I love Jim's hat and TLT, it's awesome having cards to fuel two plays and not deplete your hand.
phantaskippy, do you want the Assault Drone with Kill on Sight on it dead this turn, or would you rather end up with a bounty out next turn? You'll be drawing at least two cards from me.

Ouch! Time for another Hypersonic assault, maybe?
So...I've got an End of Days in my hand. Is it Rapture time?
Alternatively, Tachyon has that second Hypersonic Assault...could buy us a round to get things under control while everyone else gets set up.
I say yes
Yes to which? End of Days or Hypersonic Assault?
Hypersonic Assault would mean a round without damage from Omnitron, but we'd still have to deal with all the drones afterwards.
End of Days means that we'd take Omnitron's damage, but all of the drones (and the Ongoings) go poof...but it also means that we spend a round biding our time, unable to get set up (and taking the damage from the Interpolation Beam every time we draw).

I'm for End of days, save Hypersonic and focus on the big guy.
EDIT: OK, switched it up so I hit Omni for the two.
EDIT2: HP fixed. Thanks for the clarification.
Hate to say it, chief, but Omnitron won't take your Quick Shot--Adaptive Plating Subroutine makes him immune to Projectile after your first instance of damage (from Eye on the Prize).
[Edit--Yeah, I think it's time for End of Days. There's no way we could take out that many drones in 2 rounds. Do we have a way other than Hypersonic to shut Omnitron up for a round?]
Wraith has another Throat Jab. Does Bunker have another Ammo Drop? That would be a nice combo with End of Days.
Yeah do end of days this round

Um...Greywind? We were kind of hoping that you'd use that second Throat Jab this turn, especially considering that I'm going to use End of Days (which will kill all the ongoings anyway).
Not telling you how to take your turn, but....well, okay, I am.
[Sorry if I came off as bossy or the like--totally not my intention. We've just been strategizing on how to deal with the Drone overload upthread and Throat Jab/End of Days came off as kind of critical to get the situation under control...]
What's to set up? Fanatic plays EoD and the beginning of next turn (Environment) it goes off, leaving very little for Omni to play with. What am I missing?
Nothing--you got it in one. The hope was that you'd use the Throat Jab to keep Omnitron from dealing damage before we start getting set up again following the End of Days.
Throat Jab and Last Stand both deal melee damage, so you can't hit him both ways.
(I didn't see the turn pre-edits, so I don't know what the other option was.)
Previously, it was Grappling Hook, which would have been made redundant by the forthcoming End of Days.

I know I left my goggles around here somewhere!
The hero hit point situation is pretty confusing, so let me attempt to
summarize. Before Fanatic’s last turn, it was
Fanatic healed everyone for one, so after her turn, it was
The technological singularity does no damage, due to the Hypersonic Assault. But the drones do damage:
This is where we stand, since the Interpolation Beam does no damage: before my turn, no damage due to the Hypersonic Assault, and after Wraith’s turn, due to the Throat Jab. These fortunately overlap. Sorry, I posted some confused comments earlier.
I hope I got that right!
Also, Jim (phantaskippy), you take damage from drawing cards.
UPDATE: I think you started the term at 15 hit points: Fanatic healed you for one to get you up to 19, then you took 4 damage from Technological Singularity destroying Jim's Hat and the dart gun.
UPDATE 2: Make that 19 points: Omnitron dealt no damage from Technological Singularity.
UPDATE 3: This was all bogus. See below.

Additional Effects:
Start of Hero Turn:
Play a Card: End of Days--Due to the "simultaneous effect" I'd like to destroy all villain cards first (so Bunker can pick up cards with Ammo Drop), followed by Environment Cards, followed by ours.
Use a Power: Exorcism on Omnitron (2 Radiant and 2 Melee to Omnitron [70]--I'm presuming since the melee and radiant are simultaneous, with no precedent on which came first and no "then" clause, I can choose the order. If not, then Omni doesn't take the melee and would be at 72 hp.)

At the start of the Environment turn, it all starts tumbling down...
Sadly I believe you go in text order and the Melee would hit first. Silly rules.
Also I just realized that I played By any Means on the same turn I was like "You should play end of days." Wasn't my best moment. Esp. with both flechettes gone. Oh well, I have a Ranger's mark, just won't be able to have Ultimate Target out as well.
Woohoo! Nothing quite like drawing 8 cards

Man, if it's not one thing, it's another. Hypersonic Assault?
If we can hold out this turn, I can get out Zealous Offense next turn (Absolution this turn, Zealous Offense the next), which will make the Electropulse Explosives a non-factor.
Well, it only had 4 cards left in the deck, 2 of which were EMP. Hypersonic Assault sounds reasonable.
By any Means is destroyed, I draw Danny-Boy

Tachyon can Synaptic interruption the EPE to death, it will do 16, we have it hit her first and redirect to itself. Save HSA, focus Omni.
Don't play equips, the three cards remaining are another EPE, a Singularity and an Interpolation beam. Once Singularity is gone we can throw down.
Good eye–I hadn't thought about that route and it's pretty obviously a better one.
That actually frees up my coming turns a bit.

(I'll be out of town until late Saturday evening, so if there's a bit of a hold-up, apologies in advance.)
(I'm kind of hoping that the Technological Singularity occurs this round, so that I can get out Zealous Offense out soon, which can help keep the Explosives and Drones in check. It occurs to me that I don't necessarily need Absolution out, so long as the +damage bounty is out and I'm able to keep hammering Omnitron.)

Not quite, I've got 16 cards right now
Correct on the redirection from Tachyon. I'm also out of town until Sunday, so I might be slow responding.
Draw Razor Ordinance from TLT.
I'll take the hit from Omni, leading to a Combat Stance retribution for 3 melee. Omni at 53 and makes 9 damage for the round, so Chrono won't take the 2 for his draw.

Seems like we're getting to the end game… The last card in Omnitron's deck is Electro-Pulse Explosives, which Fanatic is set up to deal with. I'm thinking a Lightspeed Barrage (for 9 damage) is more useful than Hypersonic Assault from Tachyon?
I draw Temporal Grenade with TL, Wraith can take this round of damage with her combat stance out, and Time Crazed Prisoner should not have been played.

Throw down all the damge you can, We need to kill Omni before the deck flips, a string of drones could end us.
FYI, the environment deck shouldn't have played anything last turn as I threw down Adhesive Foam Grenade
Also, is it worth forgoing damage for a turn to get out Omni Cannon or should I just put down Flak Cannon and start firing?
The best damage I can come up with is Flak and Omni this turn, then next turn put the cards under, play external and then Turret mode and then fire flak and omni.
That's 25 damage to Omnitron I believe.
For the record, Fanatic only takes 3 damage from Omnitron, thanks to Undaunted.
Would you guys like me to throw down the Wrathful Retribution this round or next? Next round means more damage overall, but if we need it now, I can easily use that for my play phase. Otherwise, it's going to be Absolution.
*whistles innocently, edits*
Throw down retribution. You don't want to miss the party.
If Fanatic is going to throw Retribution, than Bunker should forget what I said earlier and just do as much damage as you can now.
Next round I'm throwing Hunter and Hunted, eye on the prize and Terrible Tech Strike, and then a quick shot ends at 21 damage, 20 from Retribution this turn means the game ends on my next turn.
So Tach, Bunker and Wraith can do whatever they want with their turns, see how much damage you can pump out.
Since Chrono didn't take the damage, I assume he'd prefer me to. That's an additional 3 off Omni (39).

All right! Nice finish.
VICTORY!
Poor Omnitron. Shall I set up another?
I'd be game for another. These have been a blast and my usual game nights have been somewhat co-opted recently.
Always game for these, I really enjoy them.
Key moments of the game:
Fanatic blowing up everything with Last Days, we have two Fanatic fans in my group, but we've probably had one or two plays of Last Days, and I've never seen Omni go off like that, that was a crazy turn. I imagine her yelling "You have been measured, and found wanting!" at the end as she unleashes and finishes Omni.
Tachyon's synaptic interruption, I imagine the explosive ticking down toward zero, then Tachyon runs up to it with a big grin like she's just had a great idea, and rewires it then chuckles as she watches it implode harmlessly. Get that split-nano second of a Tachyon grin then zips off dodging giant laser beams. Of course I imagine that Tachyon is having a lot of fun most fights, being the cleverest person in the room and fast enough to play around a bit.
Throat jabbing Omni: I imagine Wraith having sneaked onto Omnitron and blowing up his targetting sensors, or maybe covering it with some wierd goop that interferes with it, making him impotent for a round while he repairs it.
Tachyon's Hypersonic I imagine her just running by and knocking all his guns to the side right before they fire, probably doing eenie meenie miney mo or something like that.
Other things I think happened during the fight.
I'm absolutely Certain that Tachyon makes phone calls during fights, like she makes a quip that causes her to want a pizza and so she orders one mid-fight, "And I mean extra pepperoni, not like last time, really pile it on. Yeah, just look for the big broken robot, we'll be there." Other calls would be to lab assistants to turn off esperiments or get the results of tests she's running, and sometimes calling home to tell her wife she'll be late, or asking what she wants for dinner, possibly stopping into a nice restaraunt to make a reservation as the people cower. You know, stuff a super fast person could get away with. This one being in a prison I can't imagine what the call would be, probably home.
I imagine Wraith being involved in a lot of attempted things that went wrong, I think she did the most damage to enviro-targets and it was melee. Bunker being pinned down when the drones were all out there, and Ranger Jim running on walkways yelling for people to stay out of his shot, and talking to Con about where he can go to cut Omnitron off when it moves.
I can definitely picture that Avengers-style moment with Chrono-Ranger standing atop a pile of broken drones, yelling, "Pile it on!" as Omnitron desperately tries to pull out that last Electro-Pulse Explosive and bring back all those drones. Tachyon then zips back into the fray, Bunker starts unloading with the Flak Cannon, Wraith grapnels in after Tachyon, and Fanatic simply rises in the air, chanting in Aramaic...
We really unloaded that last round; a total of 50 damage or so. I loved the Exorcism into the hillside.
I'm up for another. BlueHairedMeerkat, would you rather have someone else run it so you have a chance to play? I'd be curious to try running one.
I'd be happy to volunteer to run it as well so Meerkat can play
Running these is fun, but then playing would also be fun, so if one of you would like to run one it would be nice to play.
I'm not so sure about this. It was Team Leader Tachyon, who strikes me as a more mature person; she's now responsible for her whole team, and less likely to go off and order pizza. Or, if she did order pizza, she made sure to get some for everyone.

Yeah, I forgot we had her, gah. She's not as fun as regular Tachyon.
