Our Thursday night Heroclix events for October have been a blast. Our next one will take place on Thursday, 11/3/2011 at 6 pm. Once again, this will be a 400 point golden-age constructed event.

Instead of doing several rounds of two-player games, though, we will be setting up all four of the Helicarrier maps from the Captain America set. If you aren't familiar with these maps, they can all be connected to make one HUGE map, with 8 starting areas.

Here is a link to Heroclix World's pictures of all the Captain America maps (follow the separate pages at the link), which will give you a taste for how nutty this Thursday night game will be.

We've been averaging about 8 players each time, so I expect to be able to accommodate everyone with this one giant map. Should we have an unusual turnout and end up with a lot more than 8, we'll work something out so that even if there isn't enough room on that map, everyone will get to play Heroclix, one way or the other.

WOW! That was crazy.

We just played the free-for-all on all four Helicarrier maps. Here are your post-battle highlights:

We had 11 players show up, and two others that planned to come couldn't make it. That was three teams on the port side, three teams on the starboard side, one on the bow, one on the stern, and three teams below deck.

What kinds of teams were there?
- The Watchmen
- Superboy, the Superman Robot, and Composite Superman
- Supergirl, Matter-Eater Lad, and a couple of Kryptonians
- Brainiac 5, Maxwell Lord, Parasite, and Livewire
- Green Lantern, Orange Lantern Lex Luthor, and Indigo Tribe Atom
- Iron Man, Nick Fury, Gabe Jones, and a SHIELD thug
- The League of Assassins assisted by the Ventriloquist and a couple of Cave Carsons
- A Halo team
- A Hydra Team
- The Winter Guard
- Dr. Manhattan, Dirk Anger, Gleek, and a Gotham City Detective

Supergirl never got over being dumped by Brainiac 5. She stalked him down and knocked him OUT!

The three below-deck teams formed a truce, waiting for the above deck teams to tear each other up.

Lex Luthor used telekinesis to throw a League Assassin overboard, and then later using mind control to turn SHIELD agents against themselves.

Cave Carson tunneling through the deck and dropping the Sensei into a nest of evil.

The Winter Guard turning against their tentative allies, dealing vicious blows to Rorschach and a Hydra Agent.

Dr. Manhattan wreaking havoc on the forces of Halo.

A battle of the wits between a trained League of Assassins agent and a stupid monkey from outer space.

A ridiculous good time was had by all. We meet again in two weeks. I will make it official with a post in the next day or two.
