PAL_1:

Huh, whatcha talking about? I’m still in serious doodoo. You’re a tough out Dave!

I had your nuts in a vice midgame, and am amazed that this ending is close!

re: clyve’s image, I wonder what that HQ’s power is. Looks like barbed wire. Maybe it hits everything that hits it?

clyve · 2014-03-26T10:25:42.000Z

It’s Rotation. Once per turn, one Mephisto unit (HQ included) may be rotated in any direction.

Anyone looking to see what Mephisto is going to be like: It’s loco, mang.

Isn’t that Doom’s HQ power, basically?

I thought so too, but the HQ has an armor side (else it wouldn’t make much sense to spin itself).

Edit: And, looks like it can only attack in three directions…

Yup, except the HQ turns too.

MP5 Joe over Dann, Vegas has some horrible matchups. It seems to me that even if Vegas has the best draw and Steel Police the worst one that Vegas still has no shot. The HQ net is too much to deal with.

MP4 playoff finish. HOLY FREAKING CRAP. So close that had I filled the board with my last unit and triggered a battle, the resulting double battle would have given Pal the 1 point win.

One of my favorite matches ever. Tip of that hat once again for finding a way out of the horror that was bearing down on you early.

I don’t remember even seeing any Judges (the push guys?) in this game, which is how not-great your draw was, and you ended up whupping me. I’m not good at NH, but I don’t think I’m this not good. What’s the most OP faction? I’m putting all N or N-1 votes in that one next time.

I feel like, in the course of my several getting beatdowns, that some or much of Vegas’s issues would be solved by bumping up the initiative on some/most of their units. It always seems like even when I get the tiles to thwart opponents (and when I don’t, then poof), they act too late to actually accomplish anything.

Dave_Perkins · 2014-03-27T08:03:00.000Z

For the next round, I think I will let everyone simply pick a team in reverse order of how they placed in the previous Melting Pot. How does that sound? So no voting.

I like this idea.

MP: annie (yellow) over dave (doom)
can’t believe I doomed doom? feels like the game gifted me extra battle tiles…

Seems Texas is the place to head in the event of an apocalypse

Dibs on 2nd pick.

Epic game! I had several options on my second to last turn. I opted to play my doubled attacker where he couldn’t counter, but I feared that Dave’s range buff would cost me. Sure enough it did. Had I covered it, I still would have lost due to Dave’s final draws. What do you think Dave? Did I have a winning move?
