Phase II - game 1

The combined forces of the X-men first class & modern X-men vs the combined forces of The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants... This game was measuring up to be great.

The forces of good seemed to have the advantage in this game both in terms of numbers and powerful clix pieces.  Wolverine was finally going to be able to heal his damage from the first round games and Prof. Xavier was still at full strength.  The X-Men were able to knock Mystique, who sustained damage from the first round, out quickly.  The Brotherhood rallied around Magneto who was on his third click.  The X-Men did their best to get to him, but a deployment roll of double ones brought Mystique back into the game at full strength.  Some poor rolls by the X-Men left them open to attack! Magneto managed to KO Cyclops, Beast & Angel.  Then, disaster for the X-Men...

The Brotherhood rolled double sixes during the deployment phase and Saberthooth was back in the fray at full strength.  He charged at Gambit/Rogue, but missed.  The X-Men changed their strategy, tying hard to KO Saberthooth.  It took several rounds to accomplish this and Gambit/Rogue were forced to use their final kiss (Once per game on your turn, as a free action you may choose that Gambit / Rogue can't use the duo attack ability or special powers for the rest of the game. If you do, heal Gambit / Rogue 2 clicks and remove all action tokens from them.) and were strengthened enough to deal with Creed.

The deployment rolls began to go the X-Men's way at the end of the game...
A reinforcement roll gave team X-Men the opportunity to bring in the heavy hitters.



Cable time-slid into the game. Next, the X-Men rescued Cyclops, but time ended.  The game was close and many characters move into the final phase.

This strong team will move into the last phase. Cable, Cyclops, Wolverine & Prof. Xavier are at full strength while Marvel Girl, Iceman & Gambit/Rogue are all at or near their final clicks.

The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants move into the final phase wounded.  All of the characters have taken clicks of damage, but Magneto is still strong, Mystique keeps getting rescued and Unus is near impossible to kill. The next phase, though, holds surprises!
